NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 1, 1916.
The proHpects for a settlement of the
railroad troubles through the medi
um of legislative enactments are hard
ly of a sufficiently concrete character
to lead one to believe that the end
of Ute strike problem is in sight but
they tire none the less welcome, in
that they present the first tangible
evidences that the country may yet
In spared what would, undoubtedly,
lie it great calamity.
Legislation along Ihe lines of tile
Adamson bill is clearly the only means
whereb> this, and kindred problems,
can In raised above the whim or in
clination of individuals and placed
Upon H. plune whrrr r»tvVt-* )nnt\rr rtYT'
be the deciding factor.
It is hardly necessary to say that
such result is not only desirable but
is an actual necessity, especially in
cases where such overwhelming issues
are involved. The ultimate results of
a condition such as will undoubtedly
be created by a great railroad tie up
are such that they should not be left
to the resolve themselves through the
compulsion which may be exerted by
one side or the other. A brief study of
tin railroad situation discloses that
the principal question involved is not
the rights of the contending parties
loti rather the lights of vast masses
of humanity that depends upon the
railroads for the essentials of com- !
fort and existence.
It is not solely the right of the rail
road brotherhoods to demand an eight
hour day that is involved nor is it a
question of the ability or nonability
of tho railroads to meet that, demand.
Dnderneath these questions, which
may be looked upon as more or less
personal, is one of far greater moment,
in that it eoneerns not only the wel
fare of the railroads and their em
ployes Imt also tbe welfare of the
nation.
As owners and operators of a public
utility, the railroads and their em
ployes an indissolubly bound to a
certain duty to the nation and its peo- I
pie. As carriers of the nation's com
modifies upon them depends, in a great
degree, the well being of a great ma
jority of the population. Indeed, it
ntoy lie said that the very existence
of a large portion of the people is de- I
pendant upon the transportation sys
tems. Deprived of the communication
afforded by the railroads, trade and
industry must, to a great extent, cease,
labor must become idle and unpro
ductive and deprivation and suffering
must inevitably become Ihe portion of
.alt lull a comparatively small part of
the population. The railroads are the
life sustaining arteries of the nation,
in that through their channels is
borne the commerce which feeds and
insures Hie well being of a injijor por
tion of the people.
I--—■
Stop the railroads for a month and
lhe results would he appalling. With
a suspension of railroad communica
tion for more than an exceedingly brief
period, starvation would walk hand in
hand with murder and rapine and
death would brood in ghastly awfUl
ness over an idle and famine stricken
land. Suffering, horror and death
would be the most outstanding result .
The primary question involved in a
general railroad strike is, therefore,
one thjit transcends all questions of
relations between employer and em
ploye, in that it affects the whole na
tion and not merely the individuals di
rectly concerned.
Considering that the very welfare of
the country rests so largely upon the
maintenance of railroad communication,
the first duty of the railroads is mani
festly to the people. So overwhelm
ingly vital is this obligation that it
cannot lie justly disregarded, either by
employer or employe, regardless of
circumstances or conditions.
The great, the fundamental question
involved in the present situation is,
therefore, the right of any man, or
group of men. regardless of whether I
they are employers or employes, to,
for purely personal and selfish reasons,
bring about conditions which will in
evitably result in irreparable injury
to the nation and its people.
As is usual in such cases, both sides
in the present controversy utterly dis
regard this phase of the matter. Roth
the railroads and their employes are
considering only the ultimate effects
that will tie produced upon themselves,
without giving the slightest heed to
how great may lie the evils accruing
to others as a result of their actions.
Under such circumstances it is the
manifest duty of the government to
employ such legal means as may be
justly used to force a due recognition
of the overmastering rights of the
masses.
Anti strike legislation, if directed
against purely private institutions
must lie deplored, hut, in the case of
public utilities, such as the railroads
•
land other institutions upon which de
pend the safety and welfare of the
public, it is assuredly compatible with
justice that the government should
lake all necessary steps to protect the
interests of the majority who are com
pelled to look to them for a large por
ion of the essentials of life.
