NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 12, 1916.
While the Mit III!tion In mil hiu Ii tlmt
one uiilNt ilI>11 niton hope tlmt n nnttou
Wide strike mill yet lie uverted, tile
failure of tlie fill.nil inediiitlon hoard
to nelileve even u temporary adjust -
ntent of tlie differences between Iho
railroad managers and the brother
hoods indicates that a peaceful set
llement In a rather remote possibility
unless one Hide or Iho other adopts a
radical change of attitude.
Prospects that the brotherhoods will
lie the llrsl to recede from their posi
tion are apparently small Indeed. They
have been months making up thcii
individual minds as lo the action they
are taking and il is not at all likely
that they util abandon the present
stand.
In an extremity, the brotherhoods
might posslldly lie Induced to make
some concession in the matter of the
overt line charges demanded or to al
ter their demands In some other tninot
way if the othci side shows a dispo
sition lo grant the eight hour day, hut,
falling in this Initial demand there is
scant hope that n settlement will he
reached.
An amiable adjust nielli of the exist
ing dlllleultles seems to lie entirely
with the railroads. The practical ul
timutmu delivered to the managers
Ihrough lhe mediation hoard yester
day. demonstrates in a most conclu
sive manner that the brotherhoods arc
not willing to concede one Inch In
Iheir efforts to secure the eight hour
day and have little inclination lo pro
long the negotiations more than a
proper regard for the gravity of iho
situation demands. They realize with
certainty that they hold the whip
hand and an hacked by the weight
of public opinion, which, for the
nonce, is largely on the side of the
toller. They furthermore recognise
1 hat their insistence on the eight hour
day Is Just and fully necessitated by
ttn> demands of their calling and that
the refusal of the railroads is largely
prefunelory. In a general sense their
position is practically unassailable.
The railroads are plainly the ones
who must make concessions and. as
they have, so far. showed no inclinn
Iton to do so. it is clear that If a
sti ike is to lie averted some one must
change their mind without undue de
lay.
As the mediation hoard has been
gtieti until tell a. 111. today at their
own Iviiilcst, lie II observed in order
lo secure new proposals from the em
ployers, it is not improbable that be
fore Ibis article reaches the public
the country may lie clutched in the
grip of tlie greatest industrial war of
all time. The evil effects of ail event
uality of this character can hardly be
over estimated. A strike of the pro
portions contemplated will be in the
uaturi of a national calamity, and, if
prolonged, more far reaching In its
r(Tecta on the economic and industrial
fabric of the nation than the greatest
financial panic that has ever occurred
In tlie history of the t’nited States.
\ strike call will si t in train a variety
of conditions which may ultimately
"hake tlie country to Its foundations.
With tlie tie up of nearly every rail
road, commercial traffic will In' prac
tically suspended throughout the
length and breath of the land, as it is
doubtful if sufficient capable hands
tan In secuted to operate more than
. .. ————=
ii small percentage of the lines. This
alon* will produce Immediate effects
of the most distressing character, es
pecially In the cities, which are com
pelled lo dep- nd on outsirle sources
for the major portion of all commodi
ties.
Food prices, especially, will com
mence to soar at once and each hour
of the strike's duration will witness
a proportionate advance ,in the value
of all cornrnldities. If prolonged to
excessive lengths, u general Industrial
and commercial tie-up Is Inevitable.
Mills and factories will close, mines
will shut down, ships must cease to
ply from port lo port the wheels of
Industry must everywhere eoine to an
almost Complete standstill anil per
haps millions of hands must remain
Idle and Inert while the strike goes on.
An accurate estimate of what may
result In the event of a long con
tinued strike is beyond conception.
Certes it is that ruin will he the por
tion of thousands and starvation and
death for hundreds of the poor are
not among the moat remote possibili
ties.
\ prolonged si l ike will lie felt in
grcatci 01 less degree In even nook
and eornei In every town, village and
hamlet throughout the length and
lilcath of the land. Much possibilities
eatinol he viewed as other than ap
palling lull that they are decided prob
abilities In the event of n general rail
road strike ran I.nslly realized, f’on
slderlng the evil, not to say terrible,
effects which are inevitably hound lo
a strike of even short duration, one
cannot hut voice a prayer that dis
cretion and good Judgment will ani
mate the acts and counsels of those In
whose hands li sts the making or mar
ring of the present state of pence and
prosperity.
