Great Britain through Lord Curzon and the United States through its Treas- ‘ury liquor ruling. The United States refuses to let any liquor, sealed or unsealed, enter its ports. It then asks for the right to search rum runners within a twelve-mile limit. Great Britain admits our’ right to prevent the entrance of liquor into our country and refuses us the right to search within a twelve mile limit. Both sides have spoken and both sides are right: and there the matter rests. But this mutual “rightness,” this final, irrevocable admission of each other’s privileges, this business of taking a fresh start and then rushing »head-long into the same old wall— all this does us no good. We are glad that no one is wrong, we are pleased that there is no hard feel- ing, and we are gratified to have all sides realize that the other is right, but the inaneness of the situa-| tion is thereby unchanged. Right) though all sides may be, they who use the ships and have to do with| them continue to suffer. The matter has boiled down to, the fact that while we are justified| —and everyone admits that we are} —in taking whatever action we! please on foreign ships in our own waters, our action is not for that reason polite. Because we have al right to take an unnecessary and preposterous action does not mean} that this action is courteous. And/ ours is not mere surface rudeness. Our discourteousness graduates from the realm of superficial, for- mal! “politeness” as soon as it be- gins to actually hamper and incon- venience others, and that the pres- ent liquor situation certainly does it hampers both Americans an English alike. The “way out” of this dilemma is not obvious, although there are two | very obvious alternatives; viz., ei- ther the law must be neglected or it must be strictly enforced Ne-/| lect, while it is the easiest and} most efficacious method at present would be extremely inadvisable, for} reasons of national dignity which are patent. If the law continues to be enforced, we may expect this same condition to continue with the very good chance of its growing even worse, due to a retaliation which might well be just as legal as the present action of the United States. Thus both neglect and strict enforce- ment are undesirable. We are} therefore reduced to modification] as the only solution consistent at once with the indi vidual and with gnity of the nation fodif ed through the comfort of the of diplomacy or else by congres- sional action. If the solution of this problem is to depend on Congress, we must wait until autumn for the deliberations to begin, and then “How long, oh Lord, how long?”— The Boston Transcript. TWELVE-HOUR DAY OBSOLETE President Harding has obtained a promise from the steel industry of- ficials that the twelve-hour day will be abolished. Chairman Elbert H. Gary of the United States Steel Corporation replying to a letter from President Harding states: “We are determined to exert every effort at our com- mand to secure in the iron and stee] industry of this country a total abolition of the twelve hour day, at the earliest time practi- cable.” “It will involve many ad- justments, some of them compli- cated and difficult, but we think it can be brought about without due delay, if, as you state it, ‘there is a surplus of labor available.’” The New York Daily News sent an investigator into the mills to work in the guise of an industrial- ist. He reports: (1) That Mr. Gary has misrepresented the twelve hour day and other labor condi- tions. (2) That the workmen want conditions changed, but are power- less to protest and hold their jobs. (8) That the seven day week has not been abolished. (4) That the “corporation with a soul” has a soul of production only. (5) That the corporation is enticing colored laborers from the south to work in its mills under false pretenses. (6) That the corporation controls town governments and police forces. (7) That vice is widespread in the labor settlement at Homestead. The work in the mills is hard at ordinary hours. Twelve hours are unthinkable. The work of most of the twelye hour men requires them to stand in front of the open doors of furnaces in a blasting heat a great part of the time and behind the furnaces in almost the same heat when the furnaces are being tapped. They are classed as first helpers, earning 90 cents to $1 an hour: second helpers, at 60 cents to 70 cents an hour, and third helpers at 50 to 60 cents an hour, according to tonnage produced. The third helper, cinder pitman, has many duties in common with the first and second helpers. The investigator for The News found that the statement that the men wanted the twelve hour day is incorrect. They want to work eight hours. One hundred and twelve laborers chosen at random declared this attitude. The investigation of one reporter, of course, does not constitute searching arraignment of the steel industry; but it is a very good wenather-vane, pointing up the wind. If Judge Gary is wise he will not talk so much of his “‘shortage of labor.” What he means by that pes very probably is that there is a shortage of the cheap, ignorant immigration labor on the exploita- tion of which the steel industry has long depended. If decent hours, decent conditions and decent wages are provided Judge Gary will find ‘Shortage of labor’’ soon dis- appearing in all probability. WAR CONSCRIPTION OF WEALTH The Republican Publicity asso- ciation, through its president, takes issue with those who assert that President Harding's proposal for conscription of wealth in time of war would be inviolation of constitution. After quoting the president’s Memorial day ad dress, the association quotes the following from the Denver address: “T want to tell you if ever there is another war we will do more than draft the boys, If I have anything to do with it, we will draft every dollar and every other essentinl.” Concerning this the association says: “President Harding helieves that our material wealth, as well as our wealth in man power, should be made to perform its part in the defense of the nation. When we consider the conditions of the World war, when our young men were drafted and sent to the front to face unheard of perils for a compensation of $30 a month, while our wealth and cfvil labor were left free to reap al] the huge profits that the emergency made possible, it is a wonder that anybody can be found who will dispute the inherent ustice of the president's propose: “Yet there are those who take exception to the conscription of wealth. Their criticisms of Presi- dent Harding for its advocacy are directed not so much at the merits of the suggestion as at what they consider the impossibility of | its realization under the constitution. They charge the president with urg- ing a violation of the fundamental law, and assert that wealth can not be drafted unless the constitution is amended. The public mind should be freed of any such doubts. “The Fifth amendment to the constitution covers the case com pletely. It reads in part as follows ‘No person shall be * * * de- prived of life, liberty, or roperty, without due process of shall private property be taken for public use, without just ‘com- pensation.’ It follows that life and property may be taken with due process of law, provided just com- pensation is paid for the property so taken. Furthermore, the con stitution was established, among other things, ‘to provide for the ommon defense,” i to that end specificially author and pport armies.’”’ from 0 raise the| jaw; nor) @he Casper Daily Cribune The Powerful Katrinka— “A RESCUE ! “9's A MIGHTY Bo00 “THING “Tou WERE. HERETO SAVE HI May Lose Hand ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., July 12.— Eltan Smith, who narrowly escaped death three weeks ago by electrocu- tion. may yet suffer the loss of a hand as a result of the accident.

Mine Roof Caves KEMMERER, Wyo., July 12-- Four men narrowly escaped death while riding m man trip at the Sublet No. 5 mine, and as it was two were seriously injured.

Foreman Fred Slicker, M. J. Low: rey, Mont Groutage and Frank Metko were the men aboard. Lowrey sus- thined the most serious injuries, and has remained jn an unconscious or semi-conscious condition ever since, with a concussion of the brain.

Delivering Coal By Wire Even in this age of miracles, people would hardly credit the assertion if they were told that invisible coal and water are being delivered by wire. Yet that is exactly what this and every other public utility in the na- tion is doing every hour of the day. and night. It requires millions of tons of coal and millions of gallons of water to generate the electricity which pro- vides light and which carries the voice on the telephone or drives the street car. Invisible coal also is transported in pipes—when gas is used. In hundreds of other ways the utili- ties invisibly serve their customers, cheaper and better than they could serve themselves.

Cutting Sale Costs Students of American busienss agree that it costs too much to sell our products. The expense of distribution, after manufactur- ing, adds immensely to the ultimate cost. The telephone has provided the more pro- gressive dealers with a means of cutting sales costs to a small margin. They have developed selling by Long Distance to a point which amazes those who have not kept in touch with this modern develop- ment of telephone usage. Salesmen who used to travel a wide terri- tory, lose time on trains, wait endlessly outside private office doors and pile up heavy expense now never leave their desks. The telephone doeg their traveling for them. And they talk business to their customers as intimately as if only a desk separated seller from buyer. Station-to-station calls even cut telephone costs and make selling a rélatively inex- pensive operation. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co.
