In Chicago at present there is apparent a de- termination on the part of the munici- pal authorities to identify those re- sponsible for the police murders. Raids have resulted in not only the capture of scores of mien but the taking of quantities of records from the union headquarters. These raids will doubt- less be denounced as an outrage, but the fact is clear enough that the crimes that caused the round-up were committed in the name of organized labor, and the unions that are in any way ldentified with this criminal activ- ity must suffer. The problem of American labor is to keep its ranks purged of lawbreakers, to confine its endeavors to legitimate effort at peaceful adjustment of dis- rutes. As in 1886 men who sought not the amelioration of the condition of the wage-workers but the destruc- tion of government plotted under the guise of labor chiefs.and sympathizers, s0 now radicals who aim at the sub- version of the organized administra- tion of public affairs are seeking to destroy the social fabric. The battle at Chicago is not one of wages or working conditions. It is one of gov- ernment against anarchism. Sauce’ for the Gander. There was much public indignation, stimulated by the railroad companies, over recent unwillingness of certain ailway employes to abide by decisions of the Railroad Labor Board. It was contended, and justly so, that if awards were to be accepted when fa- vorable and rejected when unfavora- bie, there was no hope in sight for peaceful adjustment of industrial dis- putes. Much was said, and still with justice, about the necessity of keéping faith and observing both the’ spirit and the letter of the law. One of the charges made by the recalcitrant workers in justification of { their attitude was that the railroad companies were evading the provisions of the transportation act by farming out certain work, such as car repairs f{and maintenance of way, to private contractors whose wage scales were not under jurisdiction of the board. The matter was laid before the board by the employes as a formal grievance and yesterday at Chicago a decision was handed down holding such prac- tices to be illegal. The board ruled that if a railroad company could by this means remove its employes' from =0 held without serious strain in Te-|the jurisdiction of the” board *then lations and perhaps early departure? tt may ne easy to say, “Let us start thing ng an hour earlier, whether the clock savs 8 or 9. But the habit i of time is firmly That was the basis of the true “daylight saving™ system. which was predicated upon a ng of the clock hands. Ever) v knew that the clocks were wrong. but they.at least furnished a marker for the day’s divisions. If Washington is to go on a “time- | saving™ basis, let it be with the whole works, clock-shifting and all. The Commissioners may perhaps decree that on Sunday night the hands be moved forward one hour. But every- | body must do it, just as even if this| is not done everybody must cgnform to the changed schedule or utter con- fusion will result. There is one vitally important con- | sideration. What of the banks? If the clocks say 2 o'clock and the doors are then closed and a person with a rote to pay or a deposit to make gets there at 2:30, to find his way barred | and his note protested or his check dishonored, has he not a claim for damages? It is no light matter that has been thus undertaken. The busi- ness value of the recorded hour is too serious to be iznored. If we in Washington are to start the day an hour earlier, let us change the clocks uniformly and save confusion and trouble. —_———— An Attorney General is frequently called upon to point out that certain laws are in force, whether he per- sonally approves of them or not. Semenoff is doing his best to keep from being entirely crowded out of the senatorial spotlight by Bakhmeteff. More Anarchism at Chicago. Chicago's “reign of terror,” starting with the explosion of a bomb in a sarage and climaxing in the slaying of two policemen and the wounding of another, has its denouement in a wholesale raid of labor headquarters and the arrest of between 150 and 200 men who are identified with unions, mostly in the line of the building trades. * The chief of police declares | that he purposes to put an end to the | organized crime that has been com- mitted in the name of unionism. He refers to the Haymarket tragedy of thirty-six years ago. To many people, owing to the crowd- ing of events of magnitude, the Hay- market tragedy is but a vague hap- pening. To Chicagoans it is & vivid record. A strike was on and police intervention had aroused fierce hos- tility on the part of a group of an- archists. May 4, 1886, an open-air meeting was being held at the Hay- . market to protest the officlal activities. A squad of police from the nearest statlon marched into the:little square to disperse the gathering. A bomb | was thrown into the ranks of the uni- formed men and by its explosion and in the gunfire that followed seven po- licemen were killed and fifty were wounded. Many arrests were made , and seven men were put on trial for murder. All were convicted, five sentenced to death and two imprfs- oned for life. One of the condemned men killed himself and the others were hanged. The governor of the state later pardoned the two imprisaned men. Ever since that time there has been a feud between the radicals of Chi- cago and the police. In the present occurrences the memories of that tragedy have been kept alive by fre- quent references The labor troubles themselves have not been of an es- pecially grave nature, but a spirit of law deflance has prevalled in the ranks of the unions. Particularly, the pres- ent outbreak of violence is due to the refusal of cértain labor groups to ac- cept an award rendered upon submis- sion to arbitration. k4 The cause of organized labor was greatly harmed by the Haymarket afy , Just as ft 'was harmed again by' ‘bombing of the Les Angeles | ¥ {the entire transportation act can be I nullified and the will of Congress set at naught.” That the subterfuge was being re- sorted to on a large scale is shown by the statement of the board that various roads have contracted to in- dependent companies the work of shopmen, maintenance-of-way laborers, clerks, firemen and oilers, hostlers and signalmen, and the board reaches the very logical conclusion that if these workers can be taken out from under the transportation act “there is no sound reason why each and every railroad employe in the United States cannot be given like treatment.” The decision is one of the sanest and most beneficial ever handed down by a tribunal having to do with in- dustrial adjustments. If the wage provisions of the transportation act are to be sauce for the workmen’s goose ‘they ought to be and must be sauce also for the companies’ gander, and it is to the interest of the rail- roads as well as,to the public that the railroad managers should be saved from their own folly in trying to evade the plain intent of the law. By this thoroughly vindicated its existence, and in the future its decisions ought to jcommand increased respect from the ! workers, as they certainly will from the public. The President and the Campaign. Among the callers at the White House yesterday were Senator McCor- mick, chairman of the republican senatoriak campaign committee, and F. W. Upham, treasurer of the re- publican national committee. It is assumed that campaign matters were discussed, and that the President wis an Interested listener. Early as it is, the campaign is get- ting under way. The primaries are ripening, and as soon as nominations are made organization work in behalf of the nominees begins. This is as true of one party as of the other. Election day is six months away, and campaigning these times i3 expensive. Nevertheless, no time is to be lost nor expense spared in the effort to capture the next Con- gress. As the late Gen. Forrest would put it, each party wants to get to the ballot boxes first with the mostest voters. Control of that body is important on two scores. First, as to a continua- tion' of the policles of the present Congress, and, second, as to the effect on the campaign of 1924, when both Congress and the presidency will be in contest. As the leader of his party Mr. Harding is interested in both propo- sitions, and naturally wants his party to win both campaigns. If the repub- licans continue in power on Capitol Hill they will be able to shape some- what the issues for 1924, and if hq lives Mr. Harding is more than likely to head his party’'s ticket again that year. Hence the advisability of keep- ing him well informed about the. progress of organization work. ————— Many Europeans are wondering whether Russia will develop as rap- idly in a military ‘way as she has diplomatically. —————— In epite of great political changes, the old Jersey coast s stlll a favorite spot for presidential parties. The Rose by Another Name, These questions are pertinent to the situation in the Senate: What is a filibuster? and when is a filibuster not a filibuster? - Political nomenclature is sometimes eccentric. As for instance: The man who assists you in your campaign is a lieutenant—a word suggesting friendship and loyalty and service on a high plane. The man who assists tionable word, associated with “fine work” and even skulduggery. ¢ ‘With respect to' the tariff debate the Senate the demdorats disclaim a filibuster. *“All we desire and ‘are striving for is time enough to explain the Fordney bill to the country. It is the worat ever, and before it be- cdmes a law the people ought to un- derstand what it lets them in for.” “Save your arraignments and argu- ments for the stump,” reply the re- publicans. *As the hill is certain to go through, let it go through Prompt- ly, and then you can appeal to the people for a decision on it at the polls: If it s as bad as you describe it will defeat its authors; and that is what you desire and are working- for. Let us close shop as soon as possible, and go home everybody and take the stump.” *Meanwhile, the debate goes on, the critics of the measure making wide excursions as they proceed, and men- tioning the tariff now and then as a sort of courtesy to the finance com- mittee, which is sponsoring the re- ported revision. The League of Nations. Former Gov. Davis of Virginia an- nounces for the Senate in opposition to Mr. Swanson, who aspires to~fur- ther service. The primary is in August. The nomination will be equivalent to election. Gov. Davis' platform is short, and, as we say, sweet. It includes both foreign and domestic issues, and sev- eral of the domestic issues mentioned are of speclal local interest. Virginia your rival is a henchman—an objec- | voters are asked to sit up and take notice. - The platform condludes with this: “and the league of nations.” Gov. Davls thus enrolls himself among the ‘Wilsonians. He is in favor of the pact Mr. Wilson negotiated in Paris, and probably just as Mr. Wilson sub- mitted it to the Senate. There is no issue in this between Gov. Davis and Mr. Swanson. The senator voted for the league, and stood with Mr. Wilson throughout the tussle between the latter and the Senate over the pact the latter had brought home from the Versailles conference. So that whether Gov. Davis or Mr. Swan- son sits in the Senate for Virginia during the coming six years the league if revived will have a sup- porter in him. ‘The Wilsonians are in evidence here, there and yonder. and wherever found are in favor of the league of nations. ‘The record-breaking returns of 1920 did not wean them from their alle- giance, nor even dampen their desire for final triumph. Their old leader is showing the way, and they. are following. All of which is of interest to both parties, and certain to cut a figure in this year’'s campaigns. ————— Foreign applicants for loans do not take into consideration the fact that Uncle Sam may be compelled for eco- homic reasons even to deny himself the privilege of paying the bonus to soldiers immediately. —_———— The ruling of the Attorney Gen- eral's office, that candidates for the Senate need not report receipts and expenditures, promises a little less work for the auditing department in a campaign. ———— It is becoming the custom of various democrats to attribute the success or defeat of every candidate strictly to his attitude toward the league of na- tions. —_———————— Like other hmou’s figures in poli- tics, Lloyd George at one time points with pride and at another views with decision the Railroad Labor Board has j alarm. —_—— Indiana confidently expects that Mr. Beveridge will revive the old-time oratorical standards in the United States Senate.

The present rule requires but a single test when a cow Is first added to a producing herd. This tuberculin test is an important factor in the producing of good milk, even where pasteurizing is pre- scribed and the rules governing the process detailed by law. It is doubly important here in the District, whero pasteurizing is not required by any set regulation. * ¥ ¥ Tt has been proved beyond a reason. able doubt that bovine tuberculosis is communicable to human beings. The test now required of herds producing Washington's supply is effective as far &8 it goes, but it fails to take Into ac- count the fact that subsequently the discase may become active. This new rule will remove this menace. Considerable doubt has been raised as to whether or not pasteurizing actually” kills_the micro-organisms of tuberculosis. Many experts claim they are of a type known as spore-formers— that is, they have the power under adverse conditions of concentrating thelr properties of life in a nucleus with a hard shell or coating within the limits of their cellular structure. Possessad of this power, they would be able to stand cither desiccation or the boiling temperature and still be able to resume their growth and Ye- production when circumstances again become fivorable, such as gaining access to the human system. On this question, there is a differ- ence of opinion, as some authorities claim pasteurizing will eliminate the erm. However, this point is one upon which the average person would be inclined to play safe. If there is a chance that pasteurizing fails to remove the menace to health, it would be a careless mother who would be indifferent and give her baby or child food about which she might reason- ably be In doubt. * * * % Jn regard to pasteurizing, the board of health can only score the dairles on their methods. There is n law by which right methods can be en- forced. There are two general meth- ods used, the flash and the holding methads. The former requires that milk be raised to a temperature of 160 de- grees Fahrenheit and held for one minute and then promptly cooled. There are two main objections to this. One, the milk receives a decided “cooked" flavor, which is distasteful to many, and the other, the fact that the milk is less readily digested. The albumen becomes tough and some un- balancing of the salts takes place. A third objectibn is that the butter fat globules “are broken up at a tem perature of 158 degrees and therefore cream would not rise on milk so pas- teurized. The second, or holding method, re- quires that milk be heated to 4% de- ] EDITORIAL DIGEST Last of the Old Line of Political Bosses Passes. With the passing of Richard Croker, former “boss” of Tammany Hall, the editors of the country be- licve these has been eliminated from American public life the stripe of politician whose boast it was that he “worked for his own pocket” all the time. Some editors have a kind word for Croker, others bitterly denounce him, but all agree that only in Ameri- ca could a man of his type have risen to such heights in civic affairs. “The day of tite Crokers in politics is gone” the Newark, N. J., Star- Eagle points out, “We shall have | leaders as strong and unscrupulous as he was, but we shall not have men reach his power who are so igranrant of the basic fact ip human nature, which is that we are constantly mov- ing toward better things.” The only good thing that could be said in the favor of the veteran boss, the Newark News believes, is that *he never broke” his pledged word. “He was rhinocerous-hided, impervious to criti- cism, but by his own standards was a great man.” Under “boss rule,” as the Pittsburgh Leader points ouf. “the Tweeds and Crokers were brilliant examples of that ‘invisible government™of which s0 much has been said in recent years. Croker always was behind the scenes. He held no office of authority. Yet no man in power, no man who aspired to power, and men who had lost. power, but hoped for a restoration, said no word, did no act, that was not di- rected by ‘Dick’ Croker.” The chiet factor in his_success, the Brooklyn Eagle is convinced, was that “Croker has rarely been excelled in his under- standing of men.” He died without the question “Where did you get it?” as applied to his vast _fortune,” ever being. answered, the New York Evening World recalls, adding that “he was a born leader. He held a great organization in the hollow of his hand. He might have been remembered as a force in municipal progress. Instead he made his name_a municipal warning. So it has stood. So it will stand.” Yet in the opinion of the New Haven Regis- ter, the “bosses did not pass with him. They do it differently now, and with more finesse, but New York is as thoroughly and completely bossed as it was in Croker's day of ruling it, and not a bit more ideally.” Some- what similar views are entertained by the Springfleld Republican, which suggests that “whether New York city today /is better governed than dur- ing Croker's overlordship may be questioned, but there is evidence that it is.” And the outstanding factor in Croker’s entire career, the Utica Press. believes, was that he always kept his word. “His was an exception- ally remarkable career,” it suggests, “and would have been possible in no other country. His may not have been the highest political ideals, but he lived up to what he professed and is kindly remembered and referred to by those who worked with him.” Many of the conditions under which Croker was forced to operate have been forgotten, the Baltimore Ameri- can points out, as the “two price lists of 1900 and 1922 a erent. But, according to his lights, Croker was thoroughly honest. He fought in the open and he never dealt in hypocrisy. ‘What he did lack was vision, the vis- ion that makes men love their coun- try, not only for the hour, but for The difterence in - vision s, rather fully, the chasmal dif- ference between & Croker and a Roosevelt.” Which kindly comment is bitterly contradict e Hart- ord Courant, which insists that “it is doubtful if even during the notorious days of Tweed conditions, New York ad even been eternity. ‘ment of the municipal conditions that person to gain control of a city’s government.,” This also is the opinfon of the Cincinnati Times- Star, which asserts that “without p: triotism, without civic honor, without shame, Croker played New York for what {t was worth—to him. America allow such owes him but one debt. Croker's ethods helped to speed the reactio: against the old-time boss.

This method makes up by time for what It loses in ef- fectiveness, a lower temperature and does away with the objcctions men- tioned above. It has, however, objections of its own. If there Is a doubt that 160 degrees will kill the tuberculosis germ, even greater 18 the doubt about 145 degrees. Its chief henefit is in destroying the bacterfum or coccus— whichever it may be, opintons differ— that causes the souring of milk. However, in the removal of these or- ganizers, which_are really not detri- mental ‘to health, the fleld is left open for the development of any spare formers which survive pasteur- 1zing. * Kk Kk K A still further objection is met. To be effective, the milk must be held the full half hour at 145 degrees. The usual way of checking the proc ess Is by the use of a recording ther- memeter. The tube of the thermome- ter is usually placed at the bottom of the tank holding the milk. In case, for some reason. the man in charge wishes to rush the process, it is pos- sible to start pumping the milk over a cooler before the time is up, the re- maining part registering 145 degrees all the while. The writer has known of this to be done, but in another part of the country. It was against strict orders of those in charge of the milk plant and it was by chance only that the man responsible was detected. There is no desire to infer that Washington dealers would counte- nance such a practice, but it is what i might occur unless they were con- stantly vigilant in supervising the work. ‘The opposition to the requiring of the tubercylin test has come princi- pally from a concern in New York state desiring to ship milk here, ac- cording to the health office officials. With untested herds and surplus milk, this concern is seeking entry into the market, ready to undersell, perhaps, the local producers.. * k k *x Comparisons have been made be- tween the price per quart here and in other cities, but many of these fail to take into account that Washington milk must test 3.6 per cent butter fat, while in most places 3 per cent is the minimum. With butter fat priced as high as at present, this makes con- siderable difference in the price. The test 1s blamed for the higher price, yet this seems hardly reason- able. "Take an average cow that gives from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds of | = milk per year. If we allow one cent|Z a quart for the test, that would mean that the production of this cow would | = provide $40 to $50 yearly to test her.|S wealthy at that rate.

They all get rich, and they manage to maintain their hold by letting some of their confederates get rich.” France’s Interesting Experiment. An dnteresting French project is described in the Social Hyglene Bul- letin. From this source we are in- formed that an ex-soldier's “mutual birth-bencfit society” has been formed with a membership of more than 250,000, to help individual members to make more satisfactory adjust- ments to peace conditions and to lessen the finanoial burden of chil- dren. Every member who wants to take advantage of the “mutual birth- benefit” plan must pay into the so- ciety’s treasury five francs a month for five years, or 300 francs in all. When a child is born to him the so- ciety agrees to pay to him 250 francs in a lump and twenty francs a month till the child is a year old. To en- e French women to give their s the diet nature intended them to have, an additional five francs a month are paid to the family if the mother nurses the child. No mem- ber, it is expressiy stipulated, can claim a birth benefit till he has been in the society more than ten months, but after that he may have any num- ber of children and claim full pay- ments for every one of them with- | out increasing his payment of 300 francs spread over five years. This is not only an Interesting social experiment, considered per se, but it is a development of happy augury to France; where the abnor- mally low birth rate as compared with the mortality lists has long been a subject of apprehension among the thoughtful patriotic observers.— Syracuse Herald (independent). “Les Jeunes.” Sir James M. Barrie has lately been urging the organization of a league of youth. Undoubtedly Sir James, who was born_in 1860, is the very man for the leadership of such a league, if he can but get it going. ‘There is no time in & man’s life when he feels the spirit of youth singing in his soul so powerfully as the period when he is about sixty years old. And at that epoch, being particu- larly anxious to avoid the appear- ance of old age, he is jealous of age's privileges and attributes, and is strongly inclined to associate him- self with the joys and aspirations of youth. Who, in the meantime, is the decadent, the scorner, the weary- hearted pessimist, to whom the world is in its sere and yellow leaf? He is the man from twenty to thirty. The propaganda of decadence at the present moment is in the hands of “les jeunes.” It is possible, therefore, that Sir James M. Barrie could do no better thing than devote his sixth decade to the formation and stimulation of a league of youth, which, in the hands of sexagenarians as full of youthful vitality as himself, might hope to counteract the growing senility of the younger generation. All truly young persons, whatever their years may be, will wish him well in his attempt. Restore our languid world, Sir James, thuu springtime vigor!
