The -railroad strike which started in
Chicago and became acute coincident
with the Baster blizzard, spread rap-
Idly until nearly every prominent mil
center In the country was affected.
The first few days found trafflc seri
ously disorganized around the Great
Lakes and some other portions of the
middle West by the double results of
the storm and the walkout From the
beginning It was evident that the labor
trouble *af not ope directly Involving
die men and their employers, but was
an Internal figbt taking on the char- I
acterlstlcs of dvU war among the '
unions Ujemwlvea- , 1
- Starting with a rebellion of radical '
elements aiKpng switchmen against the ;
authority of the Brotherhood 9f. Ball- j
road -Trainmen and the Switchmen's
union of North America, it spread and
was supported by similar elements In !
other branches of railway employment. .
jlnsflfgent switchmen, hbwetftT formed '
'the center of the movement and the,
other railway unions
a lesser extent Many eeginemen, fire
men and others were forced to stop
jwprk, but it. appear* tbat few of them
[walked out voluntarily. They were
[rendered Idle by the action of the
■wltciimen.
The strike was unauthorized, a
breach ofc contract and received no
Unction from brotherhood official*.
In fact. It was condemned at once by I
the regular officials and. their organl
aatlong to the extent that they bave .
aided In every way Its suppression,
even going to the unprecedented 1
length of authorizing strike breakers
. and. sanctioning the employment .of ■
men from other unions to take * the
places of the striking switchmen.
Many switchmen h'ave 'stood by their
[regular organizations refusing to take
fay pprt tacitly or otherwise In the
'outlaw action.* During the' worst
(periods of the trouble probably 50 per
went of the switchmen have been at
■work and loyal In their sentiments to ;
The regular organization. Taking into
(consideration others also loyal In
sentiment but Intimidated by the rad
icals, it becomes evident that a sub
stantial majority was opposed to the
(Strike. Among 'the other Important
unions the percentage of "regulars" .
'has been much higher than among the
jswltchmen.
' Responsible unionism has been un
der fire and has borne a heavy attack
With the public, sa usual, the chief
suferer. The whole railroad wage
'question was scheduled for early con
sideration and a complete hearing un
der the new railroad law. The'strike
was a virtual serving of notice that
the insurgents cared nothing for the
law and would not wait for a hearing
—lp.tCfect j| defiance of responsible
nnlonlsm, law and the public. At
least, so It la regarded by the official*
of railway brotherhood* employers
And public sentiment so far as It can
be gleaned, 'in -the strike are clearly ,
reflected the borrowed doctrines of Eu
ropean radicals, and many observers ,
profess to see the direct results of
propaganda by the Buaalan "Third In- 1
lematlonale" and Ita most prominent 1
sentimental proponent In this country '
—the L W. W.
After a few days of the strike rail
way officials were claiming in a few '
Instances almost normal restoration at
traffic gad In pneral, conditions 40 J
to SO per cast of normal. But the 1
whole country has been hampered with •
a entailment of the movement of 1
food, fti'l, perishable commodities apd
practically all the necessaries of life.
Mnjftoyment has been affected with •
consequent lessening of production,
contributing to further Increeae la
prieea and tbe cost of living. But
"nee responsible unionism baa been
under direct attack and public senti
ment has been sroused, tbe two forces
oee a clearing of tbe atmosphere and
ultimate good as n result of tbe fray.
Germany seams surprised and en
deavors to master a ahow of Indigna
tion that tbe freneb should have
taken seriously tbe terms of tbe peace
treaty. With tbe movement of tbe
German reicbewehr In unauthorized
force Into tbe Buhr basin (part of the )
neutral zone of 60 kilometers on the I
right bank of the Bhlne) the French '
promptly occupied tbe German cities
of Frankfort, Darmstadt Homburg,
Hanau and Dleburg and surrounding
[territory. "French officialdom point*
out that Germany had already slipped
'Out of ten compliances wltb the
treaty, the moat Important being fail*
'ute to disarm, nonpayment of indem
nities, no prosecution of her war crim«
lnala and failure to deliver coal to i
France; also that If permitted to get
away with such a vital violation aa I
tnvasion-of tbe neutral zone, ahe would
soon discard all pretenses of living up
to tbe pact It la further pointed out
that Noske far from reducing Oer?
many's army to the point demanded
In the treaty, bad really been building
up a.great and potent military force
from the remnanta of the old army.
The French, and they are not alone la
tbe assertion, claim that Germany
atlll haa 12,600 cannon, and could now
mobilize more than 2,000,000 trained
men armed with rifles, machine gum
and mlnenwerfer. The assertions are
a tribute to German organizing effi
ciency and charge that camouflaged aa
auxiliary troops, aafety guards, police
men, civic guarda, regulars, volunteer*,
home guarda, etc., the country really
haa no leaa than 8,500,000 men who
can be called upon and 2,000,000 who
could be rendered Immediately effec
tive. Every man in tbe country wgp
recently a soldier and now each one
under Noeke's genius, baa become a
policeman or something similar, be
longing to a military organization and
.with a complete military equipment In
hi* home. The French occupation baa
been criticized as lacking allied sup
port but the alllea wen drifting apart
on Important mattera before tbat At
any rate, the occupation appears to
;be_complete so far ga It haa gone and
promises to and with a compromise
with allied supervision of German op
era tlona in tbe Buhr districts or full
German compliance wltb French
terms.
American force* have left 81beria
while Czecho-Slovaka and othera are
getting out as rapidly as possible, wltb
.the exception of the Jspanese. Japan
will not. leave Siberia for tbe present'
having on the contrary, occupied the
,cfty of Vladlvoetok and ended the
'Bed regime there. Prior to that bad
.occurred several brushes between the
i Russian* and Japanese, notably an
engagement March 18-20, at Nlko
laevak, in which the latter lost 700
;men."Japan ia said to fear the exten
sion of bdimvlk theories to Korea,
Japan ltaelf, Manchuria and other
spheres of Japanese Influence. Czecho
slovak officers recently arrived In this
country do not bssltate to aaaert the
belief tbat German Intrigue figure* in
the far Eastern situation and that ulti
mately Germany, Bnaaia and Japan
will reacb a workable understanding
If not an actual alliance.

The battle between landlords and
tenants In tbe United States assumes
almost equal Interest wttb strikes,
politics, ns tlona! and International
problems. In New York recently en
acted antl-rent-proflteerlng legislation,
received Its first tests with results
wholly favorable to tenants. In every
case tried evictions were detested and
tenants were granted' stsy-overs of
from one to three month* when they
proved their Inability to find new
femes. In Chicago and many other
QfrAJft&aL N, C., THURSDAY. APRIL 15. 1920
| cities tenants are organizing leagues
1 to reelet what they consider unduly
! Increased rents. Many court battlss
are Impending and In aome cases arbl
tration hu'bttn Invoked succesafnlly,
resulting in Same compromises and
some material redactions. Real estate
boards have acted effectively In aome
Instances In settling controversies and
the problem Is receiving wide atten
tion from municipal authorities and
financiers. Loan corporations with
large capital have been formed In a
number of dtles to promote building
I and help end the housing shortage. In
spite of all remedial measures and all
the oil being poured upon the troubled
waters, landlords and tensnts are look
ing toward May 1 and other moving,
days, with misgiving.
Denmark having staged Its demon
stration, la outwardly quiet The net
result of the disturbance seems to be
a distinct gain for the liberal ele
ments, with the king considerably out
of favor and an Increased leaning of
the people toward a republic. Both
reactlonlsm and radicalism received
setbacks; the former through the will
of the people to have tbe constitution
amended and atrengthened, and the
latter In the failure of agitation to se
cure Its entire abolishment. As a re
sult of the troubles tbe king was
forced to dismiss the unpopular cab
inet of M. Llebe and permit the forma
tion of a oew ministry headed byTi.
Frits, which is considered popular
enough to endAe at least until the
elections of April 22.

with the result that an International
