Prohibition Debate and Railway Wage Cuts Stir 1921 Reflections
Editor in Shepherdstown notes England's drunkenness convictions rise to 39,090 in 1920 and argues for prohibition advantages. Warns of wage reductions across railroads, civil service, and industry as postwar prices adjust. Predicts conflicts in policy as President Harding seeks broad conferences with party leaders while rail costs and labor tensions rise. References Germany's punishment, and questions the capacity of politicians to reach agreement amid shifting rates and strikes. Highlights anticipated salary cuts at Pennsylvania, New York Central, and New Haven Hartford systems and the broader impact on workers and markets.
