THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1922. A PRESENT DANGER. Jttflgie Thomas 3. Seu4?, of tha South Carolina circuit bench, is ppt an alarmist, nor do wq beheve be can rightful!; he charged with ever speaking loosely and without due consideration of his utterances, Judge Sense adds his voice to those of editors and public men generally to sound a warning of the danger of lawlessness in this state, his remarks canno be dismissed in any light manner. The warning His Honor uttered at Gice.iville was one of gravity; it was a prediction that this state will approach anarchy, if conditions do not take a turn for better. Pleading with m - of the petit juries to perform their duties, strictly, Judge Seaso declared that if they do not, the people of South Carolina will rise up to take the Inw into their own hands, and chr.os will be the result. This is not the frst time Judge So so has expressed his conviction of the importance of the petit jury :n our system of judicial procedure. Consequently, even were he given to expressing hasty opinions, that could not be charged to him in this case, for he has been quoted to the same effect for several months, to our knowledge, and how much longer, we can not say. We believe Judge Seaso is absolute. ly and eminently correct in his position that the petit jury is the official or governmental unit that must realize its responsibility. But, it nil goes back to the average citizen. The .nines are composed of the people, and what they do can be taken as an indir cation of what the peojrie would del r came. an**-.h-??wsuiri miera- Tion" T!r ahl vidually, must Do awakecned > gravity of the situation before the juries can be expected to rise up to the full responsibilities of their position in the processes of justice. We commend Judge Stase for the warning he has sounded, and we trust that he will keep on preaching the same doctrine until the citizenry of this state realizes the danger to oui institutions which exists in the pres ent lawless conditions. ?

Directly in.-. volvcd in the strike as it has devel- th iped are three parties: th The railway shopmen, numbering st about four hundred thousand, whose ns business is to keep railroad rolling la stock in repair. m The railway executives ^ tha maiv b? i gomont of the rpads. Thjp tlaitftd States railroad labor ^ board. The hoard with Us sine members, is commissioned to represent touailv the railrnnHa tKo m v VMV vuipiVJf tco and the public. It also represents ^ the government, but is itself without m power to enforce its decisions. ar The beginning to the present Btrike rt, is closely related to the existence and (1> rets of the board, which was designed, in the interest of all parties con- er ?erned, directly or indirectly, to deal je, with questions affecting wages and m working conditions of railroad em- ^ ployees. The board was authorized (T, by the Esch-Cummins transportation ~ act of 1920. It is the function of the p( Itoara, m llie interest of unlnterrupt- . i'd transportation . therefore public welfare, to adjust the wages of rail- pj road employees, on the basis of liv- ^ ing costs, in accordance with the naturc of the work done and in relation ^ to wages paid similar labor in other p. lines. One of the first acts of the labor SO board was to award, in May, 1920, a ro wage increase to all classes of railroad labor, which represented a total advance of 600 million dollars. In this act of the board railroad labor ^ concurred heartily. This wage ad- ^ vance, following a material increase in January of the same year, placed .he pay of railroad workers some- , , thing like 75 per cent higher than the C wage scale of 1917. Increased living costs were the primary factor in the 1 board's action two years ago. Then came the business depression a and the reduction in the cost of living. Railroad earnings went to pieces, a' sharp economies were forced and the Wl voads appealed for a reduction in *? wages. This was granted in the sum- la mor of 1921 to the extent of 400 mil- m lion dollars a year. There was insistent pressure from in 'iifliTwinf *nr ljnrnr PoAtfi\Bs ^ I were unable to grant in spite of the wage reduction they were not n( earning a reasonable return on their investment. They could reduce rates, they said, only by reducing their ex- ^ penses through another cut in wages. <s and they insisted that certain groups t11 of their employees were being paid more than the market rate. For in- aI stance, they contended they could hire P1 their repair work done more cheaply by private contractors than they 'h could do it in their own shops at the P< scale approved by the railroad labor hi board. th About two and a half months ago to the interstate commerce commission Tl ordered a general 10 per cent reduc- in tion of freight rates, decreasing the H annual revenue of the roads about 400 sc million dollars. The railroad labor tl hoard then felt called upon to go ca gain into the wage question. Follow- "i ing extended hearings which were pi attended by both railway executives to and labor representatives, the board te ordered wage cuts of 48 million dollars a year, affecting four hundred ^ thousand maintenance of way men; of 60 million dollars, affecting the same number of shopmen, the men fe now on strike, and of 26million dol- at lars, affecting clerical and station hi workers. in This decision of the board still left pi the pay of all classes concerned ma- A terially above the levels of 1917, and in many instances slightly above the cl level existing in 1920 prior to the CI wage advance ordered by the board. w< It left shop mechanics with a vage no ' f 70.3 cents ai. hour, compared with n' 77.8 in July of last year, 85.3 in May fo ;>f 1920 and 50.5 in December of 1917. qu It allowed carmen 64.4 cents an hour, compared with 73 cents a ycr ago, 81 cents two vcais ^go and 37.7 cents w> in 1917. It cut the pay of clerks 3; fcents an hour to 58.5, a class of men by who were paid 34.5 cents five years It ngo. Common track laborers, among the lowest paid, unskilled labor, were fr< feft by the recent cut with 32.7 cents ? an hour, compared with only 19.3 cents in 1917. Stationary firemen and oilers were left with 49.6 cents an hour, 3 cents more than In January, 1920, and more than double the pay of 21.8 cents five years ago. The shopmen are the only considerable bedy of railroad workers who ' 1 ive gone on strike to date ii. protrs" ; o* brt the v.il5 t .)* the hoord. Th?* * i s it mnatMn their ^ru- .-. .i s hreefo'.d: that their wag's have boon cut below the requirements ef living; that their working eondiin "l iPi, pay for ?>\ rliiu anl the f"rming out or contracting of shop lhbor by the railroads, are grossly unfair, and that the railroads; ^ themselves have been the leading vio-' a tors of the 1 ibor board's rulings. I The shopmen's representatives de-1 iare they wili deal, not with the la-j vtr Kr\o v/l Ktil 1 "vwtu, VUU Vllljr WI Ml lot rAllWfly1 ? amxtives in negotiating Tor a strike A ttlemcnt. Iin the last few days some of the ecutivee have shown a disposition enter discussions relative Se the 'ike, each road to deal with ita> emay eea separately. Most railroad ? ads have taken the position that * e matter was entirely oat of tteir * nds and that the shopmen are on rike against the labor board and ? erefore the government and the P iblic. The board apparently has en unable to make any headway to- n ard a strike settlement. Standing a the way principally are difficulties f Footing the seniority of shopmen o ho might return to work, after thou, b ,nds of men have been employed by b e railroads to fill the places of the jb rikera. f Meanwhile, President Harding and t ie cabinet, taking the position that ie railroad labor board is the hi- t rument "of the covernment as well c i the public, have been busy torrrui- h ting plans to see that neither the 1 ails nor interstate commerce shall 1 i interrupted. t Tomen In Egypt Hjpre , Uphill Fight for Frapchiae r Cairo, Egypt, Aug 30,?/The mem'- * jrs of the first Egyptian parlia- * er.t, under the new constitution, c e to be elected in October, and alady political inter:*st, not to say ' crtement, is running high. All men over 25 >ears of age are t ititled to vote. Women, neverthe- 1 ss, are in no sense idle. They are 1 aking a good tight for the fran- P lise, even though the odds are eatly against them, for Egyptian 1 en look upon their women kind as ^ )ssessions rather than co-workers f life. * The president of The Mothers of c le Future of Egypt is Madame ^ neeseh Hatium el Raaheedy. Speak- 1 g on the emancipation of her sex 1 cently she said: "The women of gypt should be allowed to vote bo- s iuse they are fit for it. We shall I on win our fight because the Ko- c ,n and the world are on our side. c tie Koran scays: 'The women ought behave towards their husbands in 3 ce manner as their husbands should have towards them, according to * hat is just.' "It is absurd to allow a citizen to ' :ereise the frarchiso merely because ^ ! is of the male sex, while highly lucated F.gypHan women, from rinresses downwards, are to have my in legislation on questions that Fed them equally with the rest of e population. The civilized nations ' ready have adopted the principle of ; onian suffrage. Egypt cannot af- 1 rd to drag behind and still main- * in her prestige in the eyes of those ' itions." | The men, at the present time, are elined to dismiss the aspirations^ >es not possess the qualifications ' icessary to intelligent voting.
