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

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. ? Columbia

How the Railroad Strike Came ^
From the Kansas Ci'.y Star. af
With thp strike of the railway shop- wl
men still, unsettled, inquiries have an
come to this ofl&qe as to the history th
if th.c trouble, &qd the contentions st
of the opposing sides. 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- .-.

"l iPi, pay for ?>\ rliiu anl
the f"rming out or contracting of

unfair, and that the railroads; ^
themselves have been the leading vio-'

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

Meanwhile, President Harding and 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.
Political parties which have been .
irniant during the British occupa- j
an are awakening, and with them
coming the revival of old animosi- *
ss. The followers of Zaghloul Pa- 1
la, the deported Nationalist leader, '
e particularly bitter against the
esent government.
The city vote will count large in
ie coming contest. To the poor .
?asants, or fellaheen, the new nar- I
linent means little or nothing. To
em all rulers and officials are pests,
he er.dured as well as may be. ,
hey are ignorant, ar.d are interested
nothing outside of their villages,
ence they offer opportunities to unrupulous
politicians. "To educate
16 people to some idea of their politi- I
1 rsponsibility," says a local daily,
s absolutly necessary if the future
ditical power is not to find its way

is personal gain"
