Director-Gener- al McAdoo as- - government manager has a free hand in the ooeration of his business whieh private managers may-w- ell envy. He has no purse-prou- d, reactionary or recalcitrant boards of directors to contract his pow ers,' nor is he compelled, in order to hold lim place, to make ends .meet" . and show a profit. He is at abac lute liberty to meet with and conciliate dissatisfied employees, to grant their demands if convinced of their fairness-- ail this regardless of rates or revenues, for he can increase the latter gt will. On the other hand, he is not to be coerced or intimidated by threats of strikes and walkouts, for bis employees would never dare, under present circumstances, to deal with lum an the spirit which they have frequently assumed toward private employers. AH these mighty changes have been brought about by the inexorable necessities of war. They are accepted as developments of the great emergency, and as temporary solutions of the problems of the present crisis. Nevertheless they are incidents of permanent history; and as precedents they are bound to be important, and perhaps perplexing, in days to come. JEWS EVENING . PRICES.

The existence of that army ean now be no more doubted t than that the Germarfs are obliged to make a new drive." The latter may be quite as formidable as Its of the predecessors. or even more so. because "1 disappointment and desperation due to their partial failure; but the Allies are in amueh 1 better position to meet it than" they were two months ago, in spite of their heavy losses of p men and material.

More- over, they have the key to the plan of the enemy's tactics, and will consequently be better able to withstand or connter bis wedge formations and attacks. All this the Germans are fully aware of, wherefore they are not now giving to their intentions the publicity that characterized their original attempt. At that time they knew that e not prepared over-estimat- ed nndep-estunat- ed l WAGE INCREASE FOR RAILROAD WORKERS largest employer of labor in the world, the United Stales government by reason f its control and operation of the nations i principal railways has found it advisable to make gigantic wage adjustments, involving increase aggregating more than three hundred million dollars per year and affecting two rml- lion employees. The director-gener- al has been dn the main governed in hij decision by the (findings and recommendations of the railroad twage commission prevrously appoiuied by him; and the general effect is a long forward step of correcting an unjust and jin the direction -- discrimination. For example, i women are to receive the same pay as men 1 for the same work, and colored men the same wage as white men for sun'll: jBul still more significant is it that the vast class of railway employees the i unorganized Urabttiefjretf major iryr nr iwayshy; Bor included in the four great brotherhoods are td get the j: lighest percentage of increase.

Hence, their wage increases appear to range up to 43 or 60 per Tcent, while the increases for 'the skilled and and much better paid' brolher- -j organized hoods seem to run along from 4 or 5 to 1 per cent.

The state council of defense now has a committee working along somewhat similar lines. It is earnestly to be hoped that some method will be devised that will be productive of results. Each person niayclaim that he has the right to decide for himself what hw contribution to such funds shall be. In peace time that is undoubtedly true. But if Ibis war has shown anything, it has shown that underlying the individuality which is one of the main features of the democratic form of government, there mut be the realization that after ail the safety of the individual depends on the safety of the nation and of the institutions for which that nation stands. It i$ a rase where individual business becomes the business of the general public.

It proved to be a grave error of Judgment, a miscalculation that was serious But there were mistakes on the other aide also. The Allies believed their defenses so strong that they even hoped the assault would be made, and so confidents were they of its failure that they became actually impatient because it was delayed. The event proved their own resistthat they had the force of the ance, or bad foes striking power. They are not likely to make the same mistake again. Their courage and resolution have been stimulated by the experience of the past nine weeks, but they are not now boasting about their invulnerability, any more than the German general staff is announcing date and place for the celebration of jt triumph. Ably commanded, bravely led, thoroughly prepared, the hosts on both sides are today facing each other with grim consciousness of the fatefulness of the issue to be decided. The test, whenever it shall come, will be terrible. But the advantage at present clearly rests on the side of the Allies, whereas two months ago ' it was exactly the other way. theAiiie-w'er- establish the IN' furtherance of its intention to alternative rule of work or fight," the national government proposes to make idleness a misdemeanor, and state, iounty and municipal authorities are expected to assist m carrying this heroic program forward. In several of the states, stringent laws on the subject are already m process of enforcement, and in others where existing statutes are inadequate, additional legislation will be soon forthcoming. An intimation as to wbat Ilab may undertake B ithe--mU-eof flights ago in the raid conducted by the sheriff of Fait Lake County, upon pool halls, dancing "amusehalls and other places of idleness ment," whereby a large number of young men were taken into custody as possible slackers," some of them being still detained until they shall produce evidence h? clear them' of the odious charge. There are draft slackers as well as work slackers, and under present conditions the former are not much worse than the latter. People &lk glibly about the conscription of wealth to carry on the war, as a corollary of er to to conscript the proposition But there is an immediate uproar i pjpi any one suggests the conscription of labor. Yet by reason Flaking men for the military ranks from the ranks of industry there is an apparent insufficiency of workers to supply-tb- e countrys needs. As a remedy, for this, the familiar suggestion is offered that for the. industries period of the war the be done away with. Apart from the fact that nq one yet bas, and no one tan, draw a distinct, exact line between essential and industries, the simple truth is that any such plan has largely the appearance of an attempt The to stop by spigot-savin- g. trouble is that all are not at Work, while many who are employed are not wprking to full capacity; With these two conditions corrected there will be less need to worry over the distinction between essential and industry, and no need at all to argue the question of conscription of labor. In this time of war there is a place for man and for many Who are every not either on the firing line or the working line; and the authorities are entirely justified in seeing that in one place or the other each persoh reports for .duty and does bis share. A national law has been proposed under which every one not in khaki between the ages of 18 and 45 shall carry a card showing that, from the date of the laws adoption, he has worked at some specified and useful employment not less than 48 hours a week. One can imagine the consternation that such a law would create among the loafers of which this good town has its abundant share. The law may not pas, desirable though It would be. But in the meantime the sheriffs office deserves to be commended for the thoroughness of its recent raid, and to be encouraged to institute more of them.
