Such in substance is Acting President Jewell's threat. This is blood curdling-, but it is preliminary only, and' mild as mother's miJk by comparison with full program that Labor's might is to ram down the throat of the' nation. So conscious are the brotherhoods of their power, so sure are they that all opposi tion, will crumble before their menace of destruction, that they presu ne to lay down the. law to the President and Congress that private capital must be driven out of the railroads, that " the government -.must acquire full ownership, saving its bonds in payment that the properties must be released to an operating company ostensibly to be con trolled equally by the govern ment the operating heads and the ".workers but which in cvnauiy wuuiu uc tuiiipieieiy Ldominated by the railroad brotherhoods and that such profits as may arise from opera tions shall be. split 50 50 between the brotherhoods and Ahepub lie.

Rapid developments are "expected, in the hunt for food "hoarders and Ihe effort to restrain profiteers and repress rising prices. While it was unfortunate that.the labor unions inaugurated their fight for higher wages and nationalize tion of the-railroads right at the critical period iin the economic upheaval, the unwise and inexpe dient labor pronouncement tend ed to eliminate partisan ship and substitute a sort of class con. sciousness. i Republicans and Democrats alike commend the spirit ' of the President's high cost of living address, and they are all agreeed that it has had a stabilizing effect. They agree that it is admirable and definite guide directing immediate and effective action, and the legisla tive branch of the government is keyed up for whatever'- con structive work the situation may require. ": After a few hours of mature deliberation those men who feel the burden of the urgent require ment seem to be close together in thoir views as to what should be done. They may differ in the the details of the modes of . .pro cedure, but they are "all seeking" to secure immediate relief for theflcountry and that is what the people want, and with less, than that they will not be satis fied. - ' For the ti m e . bei ng - faotional . antagonisms are being put aside for the one absorbing thing. The fjeace treaty has become a ques tion of minor importance in comparison-with thelsolution of the living problem. The work must be done at once, and it must be done effectually." is the universal sentiment as expres sed by the citizen you' meet, the -lawmaker you observe and the executive who has started the ball rolling. Food hoarders in every part of the country are being watched by secret secret seryice agents fwho have been . put on their trail by the department of jus tice, and it is intimated that t'.e vast quantities of foodstuffs held in secrecy may be uncovered in many of the jcongested centers where it is possible for such things to be hidden and held for a favorable time to market. The profiteers of whatever class, - whether retail dealers, whole salers, mannfacturers or the packers, will be made to toe the line and answer for the crime that they have committed against the suffering people of the coun try and against humanity the pound of flesh which Ahey have had the combined power to re quire. ' ? It is not one class, but all classes of people, who are feel ing the pinch of extortion.
