In such event, the good and the bad would he nearer equalized than at Mr. Stone sqld, : "La,bor now de mands that America, become the home of industrial freedom,-as It has be come the home of political freedom." He said that American democracy is "controlled, by an autocracy in labor." present. Wipe out the principle of We have always thought that Ameri- Persona reading the dispatches in the dally papers JuBt now cannot but be struck with the fact that organ ized labor, especially organized rail road labor, has dropped the form of petitioning or reqjiestlng Congress to do this and that for their relief. For Instance: "Organized laTror was be fore the nation today with a DEMAND that private capital be retired from railroad operation." "The proposal. In the words of its authors, marks the steps by which organized labor passes from DEMANDS for wage In crease to DEMANDS that the system of profits in industry be overhauled." "We will not return to work until our DEMAND for Increased wages has been granted.' This language Is so plain that he who runs may read. A significant demand in this series of demands is one to the effect that private capital be retired from the operation of rail roads and "that there be substituted a tripartite control of the railroad properties by the public, the operat ing managers and the employes." In other words the men who paid for the railroads and own them are to be swept aside and the "public," the "op erators'' tnd the "employes" are to take charge. Isn't that Bolshevism or something so near' akin to it that there is a distinction without a differ ence? We fear that organized labor Is treading on dangerous ground. When man coma to the pass that they de mand to be made the custodians of other people's property there is dan ger of their losing their headV" and drifting, into a condition, or state, which hap proved disastrous wherever jt has bgen tried, and well may it be said that such a proposal Is recog nized as "the most far-reaching pro poeal placed before the nation." The workingmen should bear in mind that they are in a minority in this country, and tnls being the case there is grave doubt whether their leaders have the right to map out by themselves, without the approval or assistance of the balance of the world, a movement which would mean the most radical changes in the present order of affairs ever attempted in the United States. No class of citizens, not even the railroad onions, haver the moral right to so act as to bring on a public calamity, and a nation wide strike at this time would cer tainly bring on a public calamity. If the railroad employes were be ing ground down and made to work long hours for inadequate pay there might be some excuse for a strike that would involve the whole nation , in trouble, but the railroad' employes are comparatively well fyiicr and have easy work hours; -therefore, they, should seek some other way than a strike by which to gradually better their condition. In - the meantime they can get on fairly well with their present wages. As citizens nothing can be brought against1 the railroad workingmen. They are ' industrious, peaceable, neighborly and' patriotic, but these vir tues: do not give them the right to die ' tate the tnanner in which the great est industry in the country tae rail roads Is tp be managed, eipeclaTi n when the railroad, unions represent a yery, small- minority oftl population. One: unhealthy feature of the pros sat- atttude of labor . is, its plainly shown enmity to what it pleases to; term "private, capital" . On thing, s certain no. industry can be run with pub capttaV- and if "private capita" is Jq, bay io say in the management ot industries, there will, be no Indus trJoB, "after short lapse pi time,un, eBi.U?e, government takes over every .fhlqgT-'li. whcb, .f event Bolshevism qujd prevail.. industrial protection to capital, man ufacturing, agriculture, labor putting them aU on a level with that big ma jority, the "ultimate consumers." MEMBERS OF THE PRE8S VyiLMINGTON. IN The North Carolina Press Associa tion convened in annual session Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, last week, at Wilmington.

While the members were diligent discussing problems peculiar to their estate, diversions Incident to the over whelming hospitality afforded them by the committee ot publishers and leading citizens of Wilmington and Wrightsville occupied their whole time. can labor has more rights and privil eges than the labor of any other coun try in the world. Certainly f the right to Btrlke, to stop business and to disorganize conditions constitute liberty, the laboring men are free citi zens . The government of the United States recognizes the right of a la boring man to 'work or not work, as I he sees fit, and this right has been so broadened by the laboring man himself that he' prevents other men from working when he goes on strike. Mr. Stone declares that American democracy is controlled by an autoc racy in capital. It is beginning to look as if there has come into existence an autocracy of labor, which makes its demands, not only of Us employ ers, but if the government, and says such and such things musp be done nr a e-reat riinnrsnnizntlnn nf hiiainpca Dr. Jobe Taylor spoke upon paper wl be brought about by the action making, that is paper manufactured for printing and other purposes. The information he imparted was valuable as well as entertaining. Dr. Taylor emphasized the necessity of conserv ing the forests of the country which supply the basic material for the pa per industry. The members present endorsed the League of Nations unanimously. The Carolina Shipbuilding- Company entertained at sumptuous luncheon, the honor guest being the secretary of the nary, Josephus Daniels.

Thi of the labor unions. Is the new pro gramme of the labor unions demo cratic? Since it is seeking to force measures and to eliminate "private capital" from participation in the con- uuci pi Business, we snouiq say it 13 autocratic. We do not believe that there Is any Bolshevism in the hearts qf the majority of the workingmen of America, put their methods have be: gun to savor strongly of Bolshevism. which Is avowedly a class system, in which none put the proletariat has any rights or consideration. H. Stone says he does rot think any labor union will seek to enforce Its domsnds through a strike Ao4 yet the railroad union men are on strike right now, an say t thejF de mands are not met; the whole rail road system of the country will be tied up.

A QASE OF COHTRAOICTIQNS. ions act in exactly an opposite way. What must the nubile conclude front this? The other day, belora there was any talk of throwing wheat en an open market, Indian corn slumped tremendously in price, but Wednes day's advices from Chicago announc ed: "An instantaneous UDwakdmove- ment of 1 1-2 cents to 9 1-2 cents a bushel was the response ot the corn market today to -the announcement that the government would maintain the guaranteed $2.26 "price of wheat. It was confidently predicted in some quarters that the placing of, wheat oq an open market, with a government guarantee oi $2.26 a bushel, would result in a tumble in the prices ot all commodities, hut so far the action of corn has shown that there is little likelihood of such being the case. We take it for granted that the gov ernment bad good ground fop guar anteeing the farmer $2.26 for his wheat, but the outlook is not good for a fall in other foodstuffs as long as the guarantee for wheat is continued.
