Peace and prosperity prevail in Pick
ens. In that breeze.Arpt.vale of con
tentment, politics is cutting a very small
figuie.in this.year of. grAce. It takes
lean years of dullnesO to get the politi
clan in the saddle anywhere. The State
campaign meeting yesterday amounted
to no more than a passing diversion for
citizens' of the "Independent State"
who did not register. largb . attendance
and spent -most of their time slapping
each other on the back and telling stories
on one another.
Statistics often don',t tell the truth.
That was the thought that came to us
when we [looked over' that crowd at
Pickens yesterday and remembered that
somebody or other somewhere or other
said that the - figures showed tremend
ous illiteracy in the "Independent
State." If that was a representative
assemblage yesterday-and we have ev
ery reason to believe that it was-the
figures were wrong. For these were in
telligent folks that we saw and talked
with, people ewho are progressive and
informed, far too wise, we should say,
ever to be led and driven in the politi
cal arena, doubtless living up to the
ancient Roman observation that "the
mountaineers are alwaYs freemen."
We noticed among them one fellow of
very plain appearance. Perhaps some
goggle-eyed statistician might have
taken a glance at him and classified him
as illiterate, but we happened to know
that he is one of the few mathematical
geniuses that the University of South
Carolina has turned out in a quarter of a
century-in fact he used to be on its
faculty and, if he had remained there,
he might today be head of the mathe
matics department, but he longed to
live again in sight of the saphire peaks
that in majesty stand sentinel over the
good land of Pickens and has returned
there to be one of its best and .most
useful citizens.
Pickens is a republic of plenty, whose
pleasant people are old-fashioned South
Carolinians with progressive ideas. Its
general product is stout-hearted, ami
able, gerial manhood and gracious and
lovely womanhood, all worthy descend
ants of the brave and hardy Americans
who settled there more than a century
and a half ago and wrested the land
from the Aboriginees. And it seems
possible that they subscribe to the doc
trine laid down by old Dean Swift when
he said that any man who could make
two blades of grass or two ears of corn
grow where only one grew before was
worth more to the world than the wkie
race of politicians. Prosperitg.9md pol

On the walls of the court house where

Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen
that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation 'costs of'
$100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that' this wage p-roblem be settled by
reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads
have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such
a public body.
Railroads Urge Public-Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads to the -employee for the settlement oft
the controversy is as follows:
"Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion. and that eventually the
matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your
proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods:
1. Preferably by submission to the faterstate Co'mmerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its
wocumulated in formation bearing on railway corpditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi
tion to consider and protect th, rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue,
necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to' be just and.
reasonable; or, is the event the iaterstate Commerce Coinmisson cannot, under existin laws, act in the premise.
that we jointly request Coagress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the oission. to consider anji
promptly dispose of the questions involved; or
2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newland. Act). '
Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New
York, June 1-1.5, re'fused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration
or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether'
authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
The Interstate Commerce Conmmission is proposed by the railroads as the
public body to which this issue ought to be referred for tese reasons:
N. other body with such an intimate know;.dge -plee as wage.; and the money to- ay increased wage.

The rates the railroads may charge the public for The istrt Comec Comsin wih-ocn

Out of every dollar received by the railroads from ta th Iteres of theralroa decir, tha wnr

A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of
$100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only
one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandlate from a public tribunal that
shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the fact.
.' The singli issue before the country is 'whether this controversy is to be settled biy as
impartial Governmsent inquiry or by industrial 'warfare.
