Tom Harrill, Stat" Chairman of
the Oklahoma Democracy has JuBt
Issued a very pertinent and popular
proclamation to the effect that en-
dorsements for the prospective
federal plums that are coming to
Oklahoma when the pie is cut will
have to come from the "grass roots."
That's Democratic, fair and the only
policy that will keep down trouble.
The true reason Is that the peo-
ple of the older states are more con-
servative and far less apt to move
out of the old grooves into new
lines in religion, philosophy, poli-
tics or practical things of daily life.
They are what we call more pro-
gressive.
That Is why Nebraska and Kan-
sas got the reputation of being In-
habited by cranks, and that Okla-
homa's ideas put into our constitu-
tion and laws were so ridiculed east.
Prohibition of the liquor traffic
the Initiative and referendum, direct
primary, etc., sprang np ln the west
au did also many foolish ideas such
as flat money, free silver and bank
guarantee. Hygienic rules ln hotels
and public places such as Individual
c'rinking cups originated ln the west.
The eastern people are slow, the
western quick to take hold of new,
and what may seem improved things
and thoughts, and the reason for
this distinction between the sections
probably lies In the disposition of
the people. The venturesome, pro-
gressive, restless people of the eaBt
were those who pulled up stakes
and went into the new country.
The conservative, let-alone disposi-
tion possessed the people who re-
mained east.
It was very easy and natural for
our fathers who ventured acrosB the
sea to this new shore to venture
upon a new form of government. It
Is equally natural for those pro-
gressive spirits that came to th*
r.ew west to venture onto new poli-
tical grounds.
Note the difference In this matter
of woman suffrage. In England the
women have fought like AmaEona
for suffrage and fulled. In Kan u
Michigan and the other wostcru
slates they have gotten it for only
the asking. They made their plea

The public gaze Is centered at pres-
sent upon the arbitration of the wage
dispute between the engineers and
the railroads of the east. The testi-
mony of the railroad managers be-
fore this board teems with signifi-
cance that cannot be overlooked or
disregarded
"The reason that you gentlemen
are sitting before us here," declared
Vice President Stuart of the Erie,
"Is because the employes and the
railway officers are unable to agree,
for apparently good and sufficient
reasons Jted the reason we failed
to agree was that we kafl nothing to
give.
'If you gentlemen fall to grant the
enginemen all tbey ask for, will they
be satisfied? At the end of the year
there Is no doubt, based on previous
experience, that this country will
again be confronted with a crisis. It
is a great pity if the public are to be
alarmed every three or four months
or more, and If the railways and the
employes are to be required to go to
this expense and time and never dis-
cover a process of settlement."
The fact that both sides ln this
dispute are making Intelligent efforts
to settle their differences in harmony,
wHfcout grievous inconvenience to the
public, indicates that both sides are
sinoere in their purpose and believe
ln the justice of their cause.
And still we find two separate sets
of men, both trained ln the same
school, at loggerheads over the ques-
tion of whether or not there is more
money to give to labor. And there-
fore the third party, namely *he gen-
eral public, represented by the arbl*
tratlon commission, Intervenes.
In addition to the statements of
the railroad managers of the east that
there is no more money to give, we
are confronted by the enormous loss-
es and shrinkage of revenue on the
Harriman lines ln the west. The op-
erating income of the Illinois Central
declined 46 per cent during 1912, and
the principal cause of this decline
was the attitude of labor. The situ-
ation is considered desperate by both
the brotherhood leaders and the rail
way managers. Mr. Oarretson, head
of the conductors, Is reported as sav
ing that this wage controversy will
never be settled until the two sides
get at each other's throats. More
than one railroad president has as
expenses.
"Cut expenses," says the general
manager to the general superintend-
ent.
"Cut expenses," is the order issued
by the latter to the division superin-
tendents.
Thus the word goes down, always
down, and in the end the brunt of all
the pressure has to be borne by the
lowest officials. And precisely this Is
the reason why so many minor of-
ficials are so disliked by the rank
and {He of the workmen.
The minor official cannot transfer
the burden any farther. It is up to
hLm to carry out the retrenchment
orders issued originally by the presW
dent, as a result of the public's pres-
sure. It is always so. The man at
the bottom has to bear all the pres-
sure from the top. He must also
bear the pressure from the rank and
file; whose resentment against him al-
ways grows in a measure proportion-
ate tfc the pressure from the top.
The pressure from above brings In-
to more acute action the law of the
survival of the fittest. The minor of-
ficial has te let go the man he can
spare the best. And this resentment
Is fanned Into a flame, and labor
troubles begin. And always the re-
sentment of the rank and file Is
against the minor official who simply
puts into operation the orders issued
by those above him. The rank and
file forgets that the cost of living
bears down as heavily upon the In-
vestor as upon labor. He does not
look any further than the minor of-
ficial for the source of his woe.
It is little wonder that, under these
conditions, the average minor official,
as Julius Kruttschnitt puts it, Is a
czar. The minor official is neither an
employer nor an employe. The diffi-
culty of adjusting himself to his
problems is terrific. The pressure
that pounds him from both sides is
likely to make him lean now to one
side, now to the other. But his safe-
ty and his usefulness lie ln his poise,
ln his balance.
Another evil resulting from the
economic pressure applied to the
temporary repairs they are obliged
to put on rolling stock, which, ln the
hand-to-mouth existence they are
forced to lead, they must frequently
resort to. In the end, permanent re-
pairs cost much more than they would
have In the first place.

They assert that they have been, un-, L Tbe fQUr brotherhood8 of
able to do as much as they wished for
the unorganised workers because
they havle to devote so much money
to flgliting the brotherhoods, or grant-
ing the brotherhoods more money,
and that they see no way to regu-
late the situation save through a gen-
eral strike.
The cause which Is at the bottom
of the recurrent troubles between em-
ployers and employed has been vari-
ously defined. It is really nothing
more or less than economic pressure
for which the whole public 1b respon
sible. Strikes and labor disputes are
the direct result of the terrific pres-
sure which the public Is applying to
the rallroadB as a unit Unless the
pressure Is remove#, there will come
a time when the compromise must
end. This result is clearly presaged
ln the formation of the Federation of
Federations in the west and on the
Mellen lines, and by the concerted
demands in the east for wage in-
creases by the firemen and engine-
men.
The economic pressure which is be
lng applied by the public consists of
the fact that It will not jermlt the
railroads to economize to fit their
pocketbooks. In other words, the gov-
ernment insists on regulating their
Income, but does not raise its hand
to regulate their expenditures
The government's regulation has
been executed in the most decisive
fashion.' It has increased the rail-
toads' expenditures during the last
ten years almost beyond estimation
—by compelling a change In the meth-
ods of accounting; by requiring st*
tlstics to be filed necessitating the
employment of twice tho amount of
clerioal labor; by the enactment of
the hours of scrvlce law; by propos-
ing that passenger trains be equipped
with steel csrs; by proposing that
postal cars be built on government
specifications; and through other
laws without number.
In the face of this terrific pressure,
the railroads are confronted by the
grim necessity of maintaining their
credit They must meet their bond
Interest, and are obliged to make a
reasonable payment of intaraat on
way employes undoubtedly see and
understand the true situation, but ap-
parently they are afraid to make the
issue. Yet they realize that the high
cost of living is oppressing the men.
and know that they cannot secure
the increases ln wages they demand,
for the simple reason that they can-
not get what Is not there. So they
are attempting to bluff it out and to
placate their membership as b«8t
they can.
2 The railroad managements, due
to the heavy economic pressure, while
they understand what is happening
and what is coming unless the public
alters Its conduct toward them, can
merely stave off a general strike, with
at the frightful chaos It will involve.If
it comes to pass.
3. The public Is beginning to no-
tice the disparity between the wages
of organized and unorganized labor
Public sympathy has left organized
labor, and is veering steadily toward
unorganized labor. And although men
hate to admit their own mistakes, the
public is reaching the point where It
must admit its mistakes, or else foot
the bill. And the bill will be a
colossal one if a general strike si-
lences the railroads.
A general strike, If it descends
upon the railroad industry, will put
every large city on the starving list
ln seventy hours. Such a strike Is no
longer a vague and Improbable dream
Unless the present public tendency Is
suppressed, unless relief Is secured
from the economic pressure which
has been artificially Invoked, com-
promise will come to an end and the
railroad's history will be darkened by
such a strike
It Is high time for the public to
\*%ke up.
The time to think and act Is now
