GOVERNMENT HASPOWERFUL NEW WEAPON Railroad Strike May Be Met by Rilling of Court. EMERGENCY IS MET Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, June 19.—The Government has a powerful new weapon with which to fight the railroad strike, now being threatened by the leaders of more than one million railroad employes If the railroad labor board does not withdraw wage reductions recently decided against seven unions. Formed for the hand of the attorney general and applicable to an emergency which might arise should the transportation system of the country be crippled or stopped, is the Supreme Court’s recent decision in the Coronado Coal Company case, which Chief Justice Taft’s opinion held labor unions liable to prosecution under the Sherman antitrust law. OFFICIALS HAVE DISCUSSED STRIKE. Although the government Is making no apparent preparations to meet the threatened walkout of the membership of the seven railroad unions hit by the wage cuts, it Is known that officials have discussed the Coronado discussion and the use to which it might be put in case of strike. The denunciation of the decision and the court by Samuel Gompers, preslden tof the American Federation of Labor, and other labor leaders also has led observers of the industrial situation to conclude that labor takes much the same view and is convinced that decision can be interpreted as a direct attempt to outlaw the nation-wide railroad strike. A tie-up of transportation would at once Interfere with Interstate commerce and n concerted strike of railroad men, it might be argued, would constitute a conspiracy to interfere with Interstate commerce and, therefore, a violation of anti-trust law. Attorney General Dangherty 1* known to have canvassed the law thoroughly a year ago when a railroad walkout was threatened as the result of the decision of the railroad labor board, and convinced himself competent authority existed for drastic Federal action under a decision made in Cleve’and's Administration covering the strke riots in Chicago. At that time all sections of the Government turned to the Department of Justice for action, and that department doubtless will be expected to move In the present Instance should the threat of walkout materialize. The laissez faire attitude of Washington officialdom toward the threat, however, Is due to the recurrence of these “strikes’’ with every development of the railroad .wage situation. There have been so many threats In recent years and no actual strikes that officials are inclined to put the pronouncements down In the same category with the cry of “wolf.” CONGRESS IS NOT LIKELY TO BE STIRRED. Congress, it Is pointed out, is not likely to be stirred as it has been in connection with the coal strike A railroad walkout would be action against a properly constituted governmental agency—the railroad labor board, and not against the operators of the railroad. A congressional investigation is not likely. Only legislation amending the Esch-Cummins transportation act abolishing the board apparently would appease the railroad unions, and such action can not be expected by or even considered by tne present Congress. It was stated at the White ITouse recently, In answer to a Question as to whether the President would urge addit onal rate cuts on the Interstate Commerce Commission as the result of the wage reductions, the President had never sent but one message to the commission or the board. That message was that both organizations had the fullest confidence of the executive and would be backed to the fullest extent of his powers.

COUNTRY NEEDS CONTROL SYSTEM ASSERTS PASTOR Dr. Beaven Reveals Needs of Nation in Baptist Convention Sermon. ‘'What America needs today Is a control system to match her power system," said Dr. A. W. Beaven of the Lake Baptist Church of Rochester, N. Y., in the annual convention sermon of the Northern Baptist Convention, at the Cadle Tabernacle Sunday afternoon. “An automobile has a power system, an engine that drives It, and a control system, steering gear, and brake that holds it,” he said. If these are In balance, we have a safe machine. If not, we are in danger. You can not hold the power system in a Packard car with a set of Ford brakes, and a Ford steering gear.

“The same necessity for holding the power and control In balance is evident in the personality of a man. A man has his power system, built up of ambitions, intellectual capacity and financial resources, political influence and other factors. A man also has his control system, the body of ideals that keep him honest, just and true to the things that are fine. When these are in balance he Is a safe man; when they are out of balance he Is a dangerous man. The most dangerous people we have In society today are not poor tramps who are determined to steal, but men of Influence and wealth, intellect and large capacity, who are unprincipled. The tramp may steal from the back door, but the man of influence will wreck the community. “The same principle holds good in a nation. There are things that make it powerful and there are the bodies of Ideals that control it. When these are In balance a nation is safe for itself und for others. When they are out of balance there is a terrific -price to pay. This Is the thing tnat happened to Germany. She increased her power system and decreased

her control system. She increased her army and navy, enlarged her fortifications and speeded up her fighting machinery, at the same time she put her people through a definite process to depress their Ideals of mercy, of honor, and of the sanctity of their treaties. Her power system went up and her control system went down, and when she broke loose she drenched the world with blood. AMERICA MUST REALIZE BIG NEED.

“The thing we, Hi America, need to realize today, more than anything else, is that our balance is being greatly disturbed. Our power system In the last ten years has increased five to ten times. We used to owe every tody, now everybody owes us. We are rich beyond compare. They used to sneer at our Army, but nobody does that now. They used to laugh at our Navy, now it is the pride of the world. America used to be on the side lines In world questions. Today the world waits for America's nod before It proceeds. We are powerful beyond any possible dream of ten years ago. “The question we need to face is this: Has the body of Ideals that control the average citizen risen to balance the increased power that we have achieved? It has not. On the contrary, it is evident that we are passing through a period of lowered idealism. The wave of crime and lawlessness staggers our officials. The dishonor ns to contracts, the fraudulent failures, the illegal fires, the bogus stock schemes, have left the business world gasping. The willingness on the part of supposedly good citizens to Jeopardize even the fundamental law of the land for personal gratification, these, and scores of other indications, point to a lowered Idealistic vitality rather than higher. If this continues it will undermine our credit, shake the stability of the law, and threaten our civilization. Our very power will be a source of danger to us and to the world. Our national society can net more be stable without moral idealism than concrete Is safe without cement In it. America has no greater need today than to have her great moral conceptions revitalized. But where shall she turn for this renewing of her moral idealism? Can she manufacture It in her factories? Will she dig it from her mines? “Every san man knows that no adequate supply of moral Idealism can be obtained aside from God himself, the

source of morality, and the religion of the Imperial and perfect Master, Christ. Let no man deceive himself. America needs to confess her sin and turn to God today, and have a national heart searching, till a revival of religion of the plain, old-fashioned variety breaks out, that will purge us from evil, make us keep our word, honor our contracts, be true to our home obligations, and renew our faith In each others’ integrity and in God. THE CHURCH FACES GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY. “Never in Our history has the Christian Church faced graver responsibility, nor more imperial opportunity. Whatever friend or foe may say in criticism of the church, nevertheless It is the Institution In society which alone Is intended and equipped to rise and meet this need. Its imperial commission from the Christ was

to preach the gospel and teach people to observe and do the things He commanded. If It could succeed In that mission the danger would be averted. “It is a time for the church to summon all Christ’s followers to forget differences and address themselves to this tremendous need. And it is time for the man in the street who stands aloof from the church, to stop spending his time finding fault with it and get in and ah least do what he can to help meet a need that is his as well as the churches, for if this lack is not supplied the price of failuro will be paid not only by those who are In the church but by every citizen of the Nation. “Long ago a great Prophet challenged his Nation ’Beware lest ye forget God.’ Some great prophet needs to rise and fling into our faces today this challenge ‘Beware, America, how you forget God,’ ” Dr. Beaven said.
