President's Offer
Ouullnart rrem Far On
Wh conductors and firemen will
be
beard tram soon.
Demand the Impossible
Tho lenders of the engineers and
trainmen hare said that the would be
satisfied -with a reduction in the cost
of lltln Instead of Increased wages.
But If th'ey mean a substantial reduc
tion In the cost of living they have de
manded the impossible.
. one can change the current of
prices for the better In time to afford
milch relief. What tbc course of these
leaders and their men will be in case
the ahopmen begin a strike, no one can
My.
The fact that behind them stand all
Other classes of railroad labor, maklnc
or about to make similar demands, will
probably embolden the shopmen, or at
teast encourage their more radical
leaders.
Wilson Had No Choice
It Is this same fact which has given
the President the courage to take the
stand he hns. Mr. Wilson will receive
jrtat praise for no yielding tn the
rtiopmen, but in truth he could not do
otherwise thHn he has done.
To have granted the demands of the
shopmen would have been to grant sim
ilar demands from all the classes of
railroad labor. Moreover, it would
hnve been to give a sort of government
sanction to similar demands by labor
In all other branches of industry
throughout the country.
The President is pressed by the need
of reducing the cost of lUlng or at least
checking its adrance. His administra
tion, Ms party is threatened by public
discontent. More than that, the whole
social fabric in America Is endangered
by the upward movement of commodity
prices.
Quiet Revolution Seen
In effect a quiet revolution is taking
place a a result of the breakdown of
oil our habitual ideas of prices nnd all
our customary commodity demauds. No
one can foresee whither it Is leading
aor where It will stop.
Whole classes In society see the
ground breaking under their feet.
Equally other classes see no limit to the
possibilities opening before them.
There Is great public discontent on
the part of those who find themselves
menaced. And equal discontent on the
part of those who will not Bee them
selves denied.
Advisers Enlighten President
President Wilson has had to elect
sides In this issue. As a result of the
visit of Chairman Cummings Senator
Hitchcock nnd others to him he has, at
least temporarily, chosen his Bide. His
visitors found him ignorant of what was
going on. They succeeded in enlighten
ing him on Its possibilities.
At present he is enlisted in an effort
to check the upward movement of prices
and wages with their social overtures.
He is attempting to stabiliie production
and consumption and social changes.
At best It is a huge enterprise nnd his
means so far hurriedly extemporised, are ,
hardly adequate. At tlienaoment of his
bginning, the forces in opposition to
him come forward with a demand that
lie sanction a new advance in wages, an
advance which would give the signal
to other advances in wages not only in
the railroad Industry but In all In
dustries. Situation Is Critical
To have approved this demand would
I' hare been to undo with his left hnnd
'what he was only feebly commencing to
IV do with his right. The President had
no Choice. He had to refuse the shop
men or make nonsense of all his pro
fessions about reducing the cost of llv
Inr. The situation is critical. The issue is
tremendous. The President is fighting
these vast forces which the war let loose.
Behind the curtain which will be raised
when it is determined whether these
forces can be arrested at the point they
have reached today lies the future.

President Wilson tn help the gov

averaging 40 per cent.
112,000 railroad men planning

200,000 workers, some of whom

the first aim of the Novo Engine Company is
to give him the right kind of Service.

PRESIDENT WILSON OUTLINES
ADMINISTRATION LABOR POLICY
President Wilson, In connection with his announcement that railroad
shopmen would receive an Increase of four cents an hour, outlined the ad
ministration's labor policy and asked labor to co-peratlve in maintaining a
trure In all wage matters. In statements to the railway employes and the
public he set forth :
That America faces a situation more likely to affect the life of the people
than the war Itself.
That the primary step Is to Increase production and facilitate trans
portation. The railroad rates will not be raised to meet Increased wages.
That increases in wages will further Increase the cost of living.
TKht uage questions ought to be postponed until normal conditions re
turn. That the Increase to the shopmen only meets a tempornry condition.
That the government has taken up with all Its energy the task of bring
ing the profiteer to book In order to lower prices.
That It would be necessnry to accept higher costs ns a permanent basis
for wage adjustments If the fight agalnM high costs falls.

double faults In the sixth game he
finally won it nn a service ace after

gave Mac the set at love.

made it one-all on his own service,
nets by Cragln giving the comet three
points. Cragln won the third game
when Mac drove out four times in
succession nfter winning the first point
on a deep backhand drive.
Mac brought the score to 2-All on
his own service, rushing to the net
nnd blocking Crngln' weak returns. At
this point Mac broke through Cragln's
service, tho New Yorker serving a dou
ble fault as a finale. This gnve Mac

MAX MILDER SAILS
does to Europe to Open Chain of Of
fleee to Distribute 8linlck Films
The opening banquet of the theat
rical season brought everybody of any
Importance in the local motion -picture
and theatre "Industry" last evening to
the Rose Room of the Belle vu-Stratford.
The occasion was a testimonial
from many friends to the new president
of Select Tlctufes of Europe, Maxwell
Milder. He leaves about a week hence
to open a chain of offices for the dlstn
button of the products of the Iewls
J. Selznlck studios throughout Eurttc
land to pli-chase foreign films for show
j ing in this country.
There was a note of sadnrss to the
'event when former Af.slstant District
. Attorney Kun proposed a silent toast
to the late Rtanley Mastbaum. It was
done because of the similarity In the
arrangement of the guest tnbles In the
form of a huge M. which stood for
Maxwell Milder and which reminded
the guests of the famous Mastbaum
dinner given In the same room several
years ago.
When State Censor of Films Harry
Ii. Knapp spoke he paid tribute to the
nualltv of American films and the way
producers were striving to moke clean
pictures. He also Intimated that the
bonrd would be more liberal in It
viewing of products of the studios and
that the people were entitled to see
more of the works of author, director
end plajer than has been the case here
tofore. This he attributed to the at
tempts being made to create only whole
some plays.

"There are admittedly too few refrig
