NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 5, 1916.
Confront id on the one hand by the
exacting provisions of the Clayton
anti-trust law and on the other by
the disquieting threat of something
like four hundred thousand railroad
men to strike unless they are grant
ed the eight hour day and an increase
of pay for overtime work the rail
roads are faring what is unquestion
ably the most serious crisis in the
railroad annals of the nation.
Whether or not matters can he ad
justed in such manner as to avert
what will undoubtedly be a national
calamity is difficult of conjecture. At
present there is every evidence that
the railroadmen will be compelled to
strike to gain their end. The broth
erhoods are plainly of one mind in
the matter, as indicated by the an
nouncement that strike votes predom
inate among the two hundred thou
sand counted up to a few days ago,
and probably will not hesitate a mo
ment to walk out if the full vote rep
resents ft corresponding inclination.
In addition to being in apparently
complete accord over the strike ques
tion thi' railroaders also have an
added incentive to proceed in the fact
that the public sympathies are large
ly with them. This attitude of the
public is probably not due to a rec
ognition of "ihf justice of the broth
erhood demands as to a general dis
like of the railroads. The public
deeply appreciates the fact that a
general strike will result in almost
complete paralysis of industry
throughput the nation and are, there
fore, far from any desire to see a
strike develop. Such a condition
means trade depression and hard
times for everyone. However, should
ft strike develop, as between the rail
roads and the strikers, their sympa
thies will lie with the latter.
Corporations, generally, are very
much in disrepute just at present and,
in the event of a conflict, the masses
of the nation will very naturally side
with the railroaders without serious
ly questioning the exact nature of
their demands. Persecution of cor
porations has of late become a pop
ular diversion, anyway, so the ques
tion of whether the railroadmen are
right or wrong will probably be given
little consideration at most. To them
it is eminently satisfactory that the
railroads should be "squeezed” and If
they are compelled to discharge a por
tion of what Is popularly supposed to
lie their enormous profits, so much
the better.
To the view of the average the rail
roads are more or less commercial
pirates whose principal delight is to
bleed the public at every opportunity.
I,it tic sympathy would come their way
even though the demands of the rail
roadmen were not exactly what strict
justice would commend.
It happens, however, that in the
present case the railroad employes
arc plainly asking no more than their
due. Considering the exacting nature
of their duties, the railroad workers
are about the poorest paid and hard
est worked skilled laborers in the
country. No class of workers is com
pelled to bear such weighty respon
sibilities or to conform to such high
moral and physical standards as the
men who pilot the nation’s traffic.
None with a proper appreciation ofj
the nature of their work but Will con
cede that if there is any class of labor
fully and justly entitled to the eight
hour day it is the wtilrond workers.
