TWO CLASSES OF RADICALS RETARD INDUSTRIAL PEACE Labor pay Shows Them Persisting, With Diminishing Influence, on Both Sides of the Wage Dispute VT7ITH1N a week the air has clcaied in ' the railway situation. Nc.vous folk who slide into panic at a woid and the multitudes who still regard bolshevism as a hard reality rather than a shadow on the face of events can sleen uzain. Any one who still doubts the ability of I nll(1 n wa" to better general tinderstand Americans to settle their affairs upon a '"Bs in the industrial woild. But the rational basis has missed the significance of the tilt between Mr. Wilson, and the shopmen and has failed utterly to lecog nize the newer trend of laboi sentiment in this tountiy. The shopmen are more mode n than the Bolshevists. They have not lost B; sui render they gained sumelhv.g cf the gncal intelligent sym pathy wthout which no cause can -ur-ie. .Mr. Wilson has piocecdcd a little farthei along the load which ultimately will lead to enlightened and frictionlcss adjustments in all such disputes as now occasionally thi eaten to disrupt industrj. It was when UooseVelt appointed a conciliation commission to settle the an thiacite strike of 1902 that an official mind in the United Stales first went ex ploring into the world wheie hc other half live. Tafi. as chief of the war Wbo board, has been u pioneer in that country and Mr. Wilson has been making some novel suneys in the same little known region. But until Roosevelt's day statesmen weie not accustomed to cnturc over the border. They led a cloistered life in Washington. They even then held to the delusion that politics luns the country. Politics doesn't run the country, which must depend always for its strength and its peace and its happiness upon the re lationships fundamentally established be tween the men who own and organize in dustries and those who work them. Labor Day might veiy pioperly m olvc omc soit of tribute to Theodore the Giim. Mr. Roosevelt was perfectly willing to admit the sacred lights of .. ......l.. .... ....... ...ifrl. n . n nn ... kilo inuuuiij. nn man ' uu.i.w ... .- pocket can understand that way of look 'ng at the mattei. but Uooscvelt was convinced ot the een more sacred rignts of humanity. Ho believed in reason. He ! was convinced that devastating strikes were the result of a lefusal of others to believe in it. His commission was made I P. t reasonable men Jonn .uiicnen, I J''Re Gcoige Gray, of Delaware; Bishop I Spauiding and otherswhose experience mauc incm capauiu 01 juugmi'ius iiuuiy to be fair to everybody concerned. This was perhaps the first great occa sion on recoul when a foimal cffoit was made, under covernment authority, to j settle a labor dispute by other methods than force and attrition. The action of j the Picsident implied the existence of 1 definite rights upon the side of the Penn I sylvania miners as well as of the opcra I tors. Vet Mr. Roosevelt's larger concern 1 was not with the men or their employers, but with the country itself. He realized 1 that it was no longer possible to tolerate anywhere in the United States a condi tion under which, millions of people might be left to needless depression and dc .spair to lose faith in the order of civili zation and to doubt the greatness of a government in which they wanted mightily to believe. Theie were mandarins of industry who choked over their terrapin when they heard the news. Was the man mad? This was the end of the world the end of the republic! God help us now! Property rights were being ignored by a wild man who ought to be in jail rather than in the White House. The gentle men dowagers who write economic re views groaned in print. Bolshevists' were unknown in those days or Roose velt would have been called a Bolshevist. So the prophets of woe did the next best thing. Roosevelt became known among them as a Dangerous Radical. Since then we have been able to per ceive that some new definitions of radi calism will be necessary before it is pos- j slble to achieve a decent basis for the adjustment 01 labor disputes in America. There is a radical minprity in most labor unions. But the decision recently made by the railway shopmen shows how rela tively powerless and without influence such radicals are in a pinch. There are, unquestionably, radicals in industry. Wealth has often been radical in its own interests. And all radicals, on one or the other side of the economic question, are enemies of peace and obstacles in the way of progress. If laborers in the steel industry of the Allegheny region were systematically plotting to break up meetings of their employers; if they hired guards to harass, street assemblages and if they openly discriminated against a man who hap pened to join a council of property own ers they ivould justly become known as dangerous radicals. ' Dangerous radicals they would be. Yet the ignorant and short-sighted under officials of mines and steel mills who resort to these methods to retard the processes of labor organization in the Pittsburgh district would be amazed if they were spoken of as radicals. It is the radical labor leader and the radical boss, the radical union man and the radical capitalist who do most to keep the gre?t masses of employers and wige-earners strtUt a state f mutual mjaumferataadlng' n4 suspiewa, Tfclr EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER- numbcr is decreasing, yet it is unfor tunate that they can always make them selves heard when the dominant con servative opinion on both sides is left voiceless. That is why public opinion is frequently misled and confused. The President and his advisers, Mr. (Sompcrs and the bctter-infoimcd , officials of the railmen's union, doubtless knew that there would be no general lnilway strike. What they have done is to go a little far ther toward the point where a fixed method of conciliation will be possible. That method can come only when the radical capitalist realizes that his power imposes a new sort of obligation on him an obligation not only to the men who , work for wages in his organization, but j to the state and general public, which 1 also arc affected by all reactions fo pnd ! or ill in large elements of the population.

WHERE LIGHT IS NEEDED rpHE Public Utilities Commission in -- New .Tciscy seems destined for an in vestigation of sorts, no matter how the next election goes. So far as -we know a public service commission has never been "probed," Lexowcd or subjected to the harsh but invigorating process of formal muckraking. They are too new in the various states. Superficial evidences, such as the rates for electric light and powci service on the far side of the Delaware and recent astounding decisions relating to trolley fares, make it appear that something new in investigations which would be of benefit in a good many other states may well have its beginning, in New Jersey. Slate utilities commissions aie pretty important organizations in these days of strain and high prices. If they ate lax and easy-going or worse they cannot be investigated too soon or too thoroughly. If, on the other hand, they function effi ciently and exclusively for the public good, then the peqplc will feel better to be formally assured of the exceptional fact.

And, with existing unemployment, thero is no shortage of labor.

Some of them have accomplished eminent achievements in science, industry and the arts Certain of the qualities and talents which the contribute to the com mon stock are of great worth and promise. But some there are who have been blinded by the glare of libert.v. us a man is blinded who nfler long confinement in darkness comes Miildenl.v into Hi stiong sunlight. Blinded, they dale to aspire to force their guidance upon Americans who for generations have walked in the light of liberty. They linve become drunk with the strong wine of free dom, these men who until they landed on America's coasts had tasted little but the bit ter water of tyranny. Drunk, they presume to impose theii reeling gait upon Americans, to whom freedom has been a pure nnd re freshing fountain for 11 centurj and a hnlf. TjnOODIXlt in the gloom of nge-iong op-L- pression. thej have evolved a fantastic and distorted image of free government. In fatuous effiouterj they .seek to graft the giovvth of their stunted vision upon the splen did and audi nt tree of American institutions. Admitted in generous trust to the hospitality of America, the; gross! violate not only the dictates of common gratitude but of those elcmnntary rules of respect and consideration which immemorial custom imposes upon the newcomer or guest. Tbey seek, indeed, to uproot the foundations of the very house which gave them shelter. We will not have it so, we in the ranks of labor who arc American by birth or by adoption. We 'reject these impudent pre tensions. We propose to move forward and upward, but wc shall proceed by the chart of reason, experience and tested American principles aud doctrines, and not intrust our ship to demagogues, visionaries or shnllow sentimentalists, who would steer it nn the rocks. STRIDKNT voices of the icinentcis ot un rest do not cause me any serious appre hension. Changes we ought to have; changes we shall have. Where there are grievances') to redress, where theie are wrongs existing, we must all aid in trying to right them to the best of our conscience and ability. To the cxtept that social and economic institu tions, however deep nnd nncient their roots, may be found to stand in the way of the highest achievable level of social justice and the widest attainable extension of oppor tunity, welfare and contentment, they will hare to submit to change. And the less obstructive and stubborn, the more broad- minded, co-operative, sympathetic and dis interested those who pre-eminently prospered under the old conditions will prove them selves in meeting the spirit of the new day and the reforms which it may justly dull for, tbe better it will be both for them and the community at large. 1 "Society," said Pope Leo Xllf, "can be healed In no other way than by a return to Christian life and Christian institutions." The truth of these words is more widely perceived today than when they were writ ten, more than twenty-seven jears ago. Changes in our economic; and political sys tems will have only partial and feeble effi ciency if they be not re-enforced by the Christian view of work and wealth. NO PROGRAM of betterment will prove reasonably effective without a reform in the spirit of both capital and labor. The laborer must come to realize that he owes his employer and society an honest day's work in return for a fair wage and that con ditions cannot be substantially Improved until he roots out the desire to get a maxi mum of return for a minimum of service. The capitalist must likewise get a new view point. He needs to learn the long, forgotten .truth that wealth is stewardship, that profit making is not the basic justification of busi ness enterprise and that there are such things as fair profits, fair interest and fair prices.. Above and before all, he must cul Urate and strengthen within his mind the truth which many of his class haye already. begun to grasp ; nameiy, mat the laborer Is a human being, not merely on instrument of production, snd that the laborer's right to a decent livelihood is tbe first moral charge, upou industry.

They believe again In magnificence, in inconceivable and simple realities. In tho vastness of tho world which is as of their dreams, n naked beauty, iin- - personal, glowing and illimitable. And so, for tho magic realization, men, a few who have given over quiet for 'the great peace, have ever lift home and companlouable days ashore for the light of far skies, for strange fortune and for (he glad restlessness of youth itself.
