New York World, Strong Wilson
Supporter, Denounces “Revolu
tion by Ultimatum.”
PARALLEL TO RUSSIAN IDEA.
Calls Railroad Brotherhoods’ Plan for
Government Ownership “Soviet
Economics Venture.”
New York—The New York World,
In n leading editorial, characterizes
the railroad labor plan for Government
ownership of railroads as “a straight
out adventure Into Soviet economics.”
The editorial page of the World has
long had a national reputation for un
deviating support of Democratic prin
ciples, hostility to Wall street, and the
most loyal and vigorous assistance to
President Wilson. The World says:
“Revolution by Ultimatum."
The plan of the railroad brother
hoods for taking over the railroad
properties of the country Is a straight
out adventure into Soviet economics.
It contemplates collective ownership,
hut class operation and control, which
is at tlie foundation of the Soviet sys
tem.
The American people, through thefr
Government, are to buy the railroads
from the private owners and turn these
properties over to the railroad em
ployees to manage and operate. In
consideration of an investment of ap
proximately $20,000,000/100 the Gov
ernment Is to appoint one-third of the
directors, and the public is to share
in such savings in the cost of opera
tion as may remain after the em
ployees have paid themselves what
they think their services ought to he
worth.
The spirit in which the program is
put forth may be inferred from a state
ment made by B. M. Jewell, acting
president of the railroad employees'
department of the American Federa
tion of Labor, in which he said that if
President Wilson’s suggestion to Con
gress was carried out “we will tie up
the railroads so tight that they will
never run again If that legislation is
passed.” It might have been Trotsky
himself speaking to a bourgeoise that
had offered mild and academic objec
tions to being despoiled.
Who Is the Government?
Before any railroad plan can be
worked out one highly essential fact
must be established—namely, whether
the sovereign power of the United
States is vested in Government and in
the American people or whether it is
vested In the railroad brotherhoods.
For three years now the brother
hoods have assumed that the sovereign
power was vested in them, and Con
gress has provided them with excel
lent reasons for that assumption.
When the railroad employees in the
critical period of the summer of 191G
demanded an eight-hour day and
threatened a general strike, President
Wilson sent n message to Congress in
which he urged that the eight-hour
day be made the basis of work and
wages, hut he made four other pro
posals, one of which called for—
“An amendment to the existing Fed
eral statute which provides for the
mediation, conciliation and arbitration
of such controversies as the present
by adding to it a provision that In
case the methods of accommodation
now provided for should fail, a full
public investigation of the merits of
every such dispute should be institut
ed and complete ', before a strike or
lockout may be lawfully attempted.”
Try to Intimidate Congress.
Congress refused to onact this legis
lation because the labor leaders ob
jected to It. and now we have a situa
tion In which a labor hauler can threat
en to “tie up the railroads so tight that
they will never run again” if Congress
presumes to pass an net to which the
brotherhood autocracy objects as un
equal to Its imperative demands.
The railroad brotherhoods have em
barked upon a policy that even the
most conservative of them must admit
Is economically revolutionary. If their
scheme of nationalization under class
control is to be carried out In respect
to railroads, nobody can draw the line
where It shall stop until all industry is
under Soviet direction. Yet they are
not putting their program out as a
matter to be discussed and deliberate
ly considered by the American people.
They are trying to force the issue and
bring about a revolution by ultima
tum.
The Public Pays.
In the last three years the railroad
employees have received hundreds of
millions of dollars In wage increases
for which Hie general public is paying.
As a reward for its generosity the
country is to be taken by the throat
and choked into submission if the most
complicated economic issues that have
ever confronted it ure not settled forth
with. If there is any difference be
tween that kind of nrroganee and the
arrogance of the German general staff
in July, 19i4, we should like to know
what it is.
SOUTHERN METHODISTS OUTLINE
PLANS FOR HANDLING GREAT
CENTENARY FUND.
Organization Will Collect Largest
Amount Ever Handled By Any
Religious Denomination
Anywhere.
The Centenary Commission of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
has anno- n d its plan for collecting
the $5'3.0i}0,000.00 which was pledged
for the missionary work of the church
In the recent eight-day drive. The
plan was prepared and will be direct
ed by Colonel John E. Edgerton, of
Tennessee, the general centenary
treasurer and the director of the de
partment of finance for the Centenary
Commission.
Colonel Edgertorf is a well known
business man He is president and
manager of the Lebanon Woolen
Mills, president of the Tennessee
State Manufacturers Association, and
during the war he was a member of
the executive commitee of the war in
dustry board appointed by President
Wilson.
“Our slogan la no shrinkage, but an
increase,” said Colonel Edgerton re
cently. "Just as the Southern Metho
dist church has surpassed all records
In securing pledges for benevolent
purposes and has raised the largest
sum ever given to any church at one
time in the history of the world, so do
we expect to set a new record in tlis
collection of these pledges.”
An Extensive Organization,
The organization through which
these pledges will be collected haa
four centers of responsibility. The
first Is a general finance commission
with headquarters at Nashville, headed
by Colonel Edgerton. This commis
sion has prepared the standard plan
and will direct the entire movement,
handing down to the various bodies
throughout the church detailed plans
for their guidance.
There will also be a conference cab
inet 1c each annual conference of the
church, about forty in number. These
conference cabinets will be composed
of the Conference Missionary Secre
tary, Conference Campaign Director,
the Lay leader, and the Conference
Centenary Treasurer Each of these
officials have certain specific duties,
and will direct the work of collecting
all the pledges in each annual confer
ence.
In each of the four hundred districts
of the church there i3 a similar cab
inet. composed of the Presiding Elders,
tha L.ay leaders, Campaign Directors
and the Chairman of the Methodist
Minute Men The Conference Mission
ary Secretary is an ex-officio member
of all district cabinets The work of
collecting in the districts will be su
pervised by this district Cabinet
Twenty Thousand Churches.
In each of the 20,000 local churciies
there will be local cabinets composed
of the pastor, the centenary treas
urer, the campaign director, the lay
loader, the chairman of the minute
men, the Sunday school superintendent
and tlio president of the Woman's Mis
sionary Society. This cabinet will do
all the actual work of collecting the
individual pledges.
The persons who made subscrip
tions will be divided into lists of
twenty-five and the lists will be
placed in charge of a certain member
of the church cabinet who will collect
all pledges as they come due.
One feature of the standard plan is
that the local church will be respon
sible for collecting the full amount of
its subscription. If any subscriber
dies or meets with misfortune such as
to render it impossible for him to pay
his pledge, it will be the duty of the
church cabinet to secure another pel
son to take the place of the one thus
become delinquent.
Jt is also proposed that every new
member who comes into the church
shall also be asked to make a contri
bution to the Centenary fund.
The Centenary fund of $3o,000.00C
will he used for the church ir an ex
tension of Its missionary work
throughout the world. Several million
will be spent in the devastated re
glons of France, Belgium, Poland and
Russia. Other millions will go to the
seren foreign fields occupied by thi
church--Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Africa
China, Japan and Korea Other mil
lions will be spent in the Industrie
sections of the great cities, in tfc<
mountains, among the immigrants, thi
negroes and the Indians, and in build
lng churches in the missionary terri
tory of the United States.
