Wide effects are possible from the Supreme Court's decision vt that labor organizations, though unin- corporated, are amenable the Sher- | man anti-trust act, that under it such organizations may be prosecuted for | restraint of interstate commerce, that | labor unions may be sued, and that In | cases In point damages may not be collected because the acts alleged In the destruction of property were nul? incited for the purpose of !‘rslruinlngl interstate commerce. In a p:culim‘i ion hoth hurts and helps It hurts by subject- ing labor organizations to the opera- tion of the anti-trust law, and it helps by releasing a large sum of money now held for the satisfaction of dam- ages which, the court rules, cannot be assessed on the ground stated. There is an apparent, but only an | apparent, inconsistency in the court's | ruling that unions are amenable to the law which provides for the imposi- tion of fine or damages for acts com- way this de organized labor. mitted in restraint of interstate com- merce and the release of funds held security for damages in cases und consideration. These twa points are reconciled the court's specific decision that the destructive acts in question were mnot designed in straint of interstate commerce. But, | the court held, has the| :r to subject to national raint acts which are in obstruction of such nd to punish conspiracies ractices of this character are part of the plan to hinder, restrain or meonopolize in- | terstate commerce. Thus the seeming inconsistency is resolved by the court’s judgment that in the particular case in hand the acts were not thus designed to restrain trade. In another case acts of detruc- tion committed in the course of strikes might be construed as obstructive of trade and subject the unions to dam- ! ages. The immediate release of a large sum belonging to the coal mining unions is an advantage to them in that it makes immediately available for strike benefits a fund that has been tied up for & number of years. But this advantage 1s decidedly offset by the decision that union organiza- tions are amenable to anti-trust pro- cedure and, furthermere, that even unincorporated organizations may be brought into court. The court’s decision is sweeping in its general effect. It puts the labor organizations upon the same basis a: commercial corporations. It places upon the leaders a direct responsibil- iy for the ordering and conduct of strikes which may operate in restraint | of trade. With this ruling standing as the fundamental law, it is difficult to see how legislative exemptions can be effected. It may, of course, be always set up in defense in case of prosecu- tion or suit that a strike or an act committed in the course of a strike is not in restraint of interstate com- merce. Just what constitutes such an | act, and how far it is necessary to establish motives, and by what means such motives can be established lnl evidence must remain for the courts themselves to determine. The broad effect of this decision is likely to be in restraint of strikes which may develop lawlessness and destructiveness. l —_— i Chiet Justice Taft will go abroad to study the English administration of certaln phases of law.

Revival of Employment. A report made to Mayor Hylan by the employment division of the indus- trial bureau in New York shows a marked improvement in the employ- ment situation since that bureau was opened on the 19th of September last. During the remaining eleven days of September 4,610 applicants were regis- tered, 1,114 were referred to possible | places and 700 were placed. In the month of October 4,776 were regis- tered, 2,646 were referred and 1,531 were placed. During the month of May 2,560 were registered, 2,666 were referred and 1,684 were placed. This shows a marked falling off in the num- ber of registrations and a great in- crease In the number of jobs ob- tained. In the whole period from the 39th of September to the end of May 31,128 were registered, 19,867 were referred and 12,321 were placed, a very gratifying percentage of employ- ments, showing the results of organi- zation. The falling off of over 2,200 from the October to the May figures in the number of people asking for work at the bureau is in itself an indication of better conditions. The fact is that outside of the coal strike, which has thrown more than half & million men 1nto idleness of their own accord, there is more employment in this country at present than for more than a year past. In every line of business there is a steady If slow increase and ac- , tivity. There is no boom, just as there has been no panic. The reaction to- ‘ward normalcy is gradual, just as the decline into depression was et a mod- [ not been reported back fr of ldleness following the war were fre- quently had three years ago. The country, according to these “‘glooms,” was headed for its worst experience. On the contrary it has readjusted with remarkable freedom from distress and disorder. The recovery by the slow degrees of the past few months has been more wholesome than a sudden spasmodic revival. The improvement i3 substantial, and. will continue longer than if the recovery had been sharp and speedy. — e The Citizens’ Training Camps. Plans for this year's citizens' mill- training camps, so successfully fnaugurated last summer as a vital part of the natlonal defense program, have been completed, and already ap- plications are pouring in. It Is true that the appropriation essential to the Rolding of the camps is not yet avail- able in that the Army appropriation Ml of which it is a component has m the con- ference to which it was submitted after passing the House and Senate in slightly differing forms. That it will be available in ample time for the camps to open upon the 27th of July, as planned, is taken as a matter of course both at the Capitol and the ‘War Department. For of the large importance of the camps in providing for the protecting of the nation against both exter) and internal foes there can be no question. ieaded by Gen. Pershing himself, those charged with the grave responsibility of rendering Amerlea secwre against the future unanimous- > that, in the final analysls, it i3 upon the organized reserves that dependence would inevitably be placed in the final defense of the mation in time of speclal emergency. Tt is the purpose of the citizens’ military train- ing camps to create a strong founda- tion upon which that reserve may be efficlently organized. The success of the camps last year was so marked, the response of the youth of the mation to the clear call to their patriotism so enthuslastic, that arrarigements for this summer provide for a greatly inc ed at- tendance. Last year there were 0 applicants for the 1,200 openings at 3d Corps encampment. The Dis- wota, then 100, has this vear - doubled. It devolves upon the youth of the National Capital, | young men alive to the responsibili- ties of the hour and proud of the op- portunity to evidence their devotion to the flag which symbolizes America, to place their names upon the lists of applicants. That they will do so In numbers which will once again estab- lish the readiness of Washington to meet clvic responsibilities even though denied vital complementary privileges is to be expected. The President as Party Leader. In one particular Mr. Harding is having an experience similar to that of Mr. Wilson. His aid is eagerly sought on Capitol Hill. Mr. Wilson responded to all re- quests readily—so readily, indeed, that such requests became frequent and his responses the subject of criticism. He was accused of running things at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue, when, as a matter of fact, his part at the east end was being played by re- quest. He was made the arbitrator in nearly all democratic legislative differ- ences. A good many republican legislative differences are now being put up to Mr. Harding. He is asked to arbitrate this thing; to say a word about that thing: to get in behind the other thing. | Some of the requests are urgent, and have been made several times. Unlike Mr. Wilson, Mr. Harding has been a legislator. He knows all the ropes. His first experience was as a member of the Ohio legislature. His second experience was as a member of the Senate here. Hence his apprecia- tion of a tangled legislative skein, and his hesitation about undertaking a job of disentangling. He has no desire to become “the whole show.” Still, he cannot refuse upon solicl- tation to lend a hand in the graver matters at stake. As the leader of his ! party he is interested in its welfare; and when its affairs become “all balled up,” as seems to be the case now, and a word or act of his is con- sidered timely and desirable, he can- not turn his back on party friends preferring requests. } The Senate will hardly apply to any of Mr. Rockefeller's educational insti- tutions for research work to assist in discovering the cause of high gasoline prices. | Reports of Lenin's il health have been so frequent that they now serve only to call attention to him as a man with a remarkable constitution. l One of the most reprehensible things Germany did during the war was to create a condition favorable to graft- ers the world over. Ireland has at present no advice to contribute to any peace conferences that may assemble. Strikes, already costly, are accumu- lating still more expenses in connec- tion with lawsulits. Aircraft Regulation. No {isue can be taken with the statemunt of the Aeronautical Cham- ber ot Commerce of America that purely Yocal regulations to govern air- craft operations are inadequate to con- trol aerial traffic, and that & national air law is needed. The present local movement for the control of air traf- fic is the result of a necessity, and the hope is that it will result in a federal enactment. Obviously, as the aeronautical chamber points out, it is impossible for a locality to control air traffic the origin of which may be far from that locality and the destination equally re- mote. And quite as clearly it would be futile to attempt to put the regula- tion of air traffic upon local bases even though each community adopted regulations. Uniformity is the chief right,” sald Uncle Eben. essential, and that can be obtained, it is only too plain in the light of other endeavors at interstate regulation, through federal enactment. The immediate occasion for the at- tempt to secure a local law is the pro- aviator disturbed a public ceremonial and endangered the lives of many peo- ple by flying over a large assemblage in this city. Such conduct can be pro- hibited under penalties by local laws, 'nnd every community should have the protection of such a rule. But cross’ country flying is distincily interstate in character in all but the rarest in- stances, and a national aircraft code is quite as essential as interstate com- merce regulation or federal navigation The Decoration day eplsode may be the means of putting an effective air- craft law upon the statute books. The co-operation of all the organizations concerned In aviation should be en- listed to that end. ———teEe————— The Ford Boom. A press dispatch from Detrolt states that “Henry Ford has intimated pri- vately that he would run for Presi- dent ‘if the people of the country de- sire him to do so,” but ‘he would re- fuse to spend any money to bring about his nomination or election.’ " A most creditable position for Mr. Ford to take, but certaln to prevent the spread of his presidential boom outside of Michigan. To the country at large Mr. Ford is known only as a business man of ex- traordi business success and large wealth. His name Is assoclated with no political suce He has never held office of dny kind. He was never heard of in politics until Wood- row Wilson several years ago Suggest- ed him for the Senate. So Mr. Ford has no thought of pushing his politi- cal fortunes with his personal fortune —with his money means—his boom is certain not to boom where he is known only as a rich business man. Since Washington's day—and Wash- ington’s wealth had nothing to do with his elevation to the presidency— only one rich man has received a presidential nomination. But Samuel J. Tilden's large means had as little to do with his prominence in political affairs as Washington's. He was one of the foremost politiclans and politi- cal writers of his day, and when nom- irated for President had just achieved as Governor of New York a great pelitical triumph. The contest two vears hence will be between the republicans and the demo- crats. Mr. Harding is reasonably cer- tain to lead the republicans, and to match him the democrats will be forced to name as their leader a man who by demonstrated capacity for politics has standing among the fore- most actors in the political field. e — Lenin’'s Political Opponents. In a special cablegram to The Star from Moscow. printed yesterday, re- garding the fliness of the bolshevik chief, occurs the following: Under the most favorable circum- stances Lenin must rest for some time to come. Even his avowed political opponents show every sign of per- sonal grief at the news of the serious turn to his illness, declaring that he is the man Russia can least afford to spare. This brief statement is most sug- gestive of the development of faction at Moscow. It discloses that Lenin has political opponents who are not afrald to reveal themselves, and the chances are that they are not in har- mony. This, as The Star indicated the other day, presages a serious strain at the soviet headquarters when Lenin passes. Very likely the apprehension of a quarrel over the succession is what makes these ‘“‘political op- ponents” of Lenin now bewall his en- forced absence from duty. Confirmation of Lenin’s serious ill- ness has been officially given, but it is said that he is better. Yet, as the dis- patch just quoted indicates, it will be some time before he can ‘resume his duties. The question {s whether his personality will continue to exercise a restraining influence upon the dis- cordant elements at Moscow, however weak he may be in body. —mee— While a great deal of attention is paid to the size and material of bath- ing suits, no notice is taken of the hot uniforms police officers are compelled | to wear all summer. ————eeee—————e France continues to insist that she is not militaristic, but is only assert- ing the right to arm in self-defense.

When George Washington Post, No. 1, of the American Legion meets to- morrow night in a permenent home of its own for the first time the occa- sion will take on a significance deeper than that usually attached to the oc- cupation of an organization’s new quarters. The meeting will mark the second great atep in the history of the post— a step which, while perhaps not so far-reaching as the first, is neverthe- less calculated to exert a steadying influence that should be felt by every post In the American Leglon. The in- itial step, of course, was the forma- tion of the post in 1919, the ploneer- Ing effort that crystallized into a movement nation-wide in scope. In the words of Gen. John J. Per- shing, & member of the post, as ex- pressed In a recent telegram to Col. E. Lester Jones, organizer of the post and chairman of the committee which arranged the purchase of the new home, which is located at the north- east corner of 19th and I streets, “As Post No. 1 has always taken the lead in upholding the broad, conservative principles upon which the leglon was founded, 8o will it, by example, lead in further stabilizing the organiza- tion by the purchase of a home.” * % ok ¥ It is expected that the move made here In the National Capital by the leglon's pioneer post will inaugurate a general program for placing the various posts throughout the country on the basis of permanence signified in a home-owning pollcy. A number of the larger posta in other citles al- ready have quasters of their own, It is true, but these are exceptions, rather than the rule, The leglon is only a few years old, but its members realize that now Is EDITORIAL DIGEST, Reduction of Freight Rates Re- ceives General Approval. Newspapers approve the 10 per cent horizontal reduction in freight rates ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission. There are many, how- ever, who do not think that it goes far enough. Others express sincere regret that passenger and Pullman charges were not also acted on. But generally. it is conceded that a start was made which will go far toward restoring normalcy to the business of the nation. A few papers profess to gee political motives behind the action, but they are far in the mi- nority and for the most part there 18 a concerted ignoring of politics n the editortal comment. That the commission allowed its in- tention to “leak” to President Hard- ing and Senator Watson is the charge of the New York Evening World (democratic), claiming that “there is too much evidence of political prés- sure” in the timing of the announce- ment. The paper belleves, however, that “until lower rates have been tried no one can be sure they are un- reagonable. The lower rates may mean better business for the country and better profits for the railroads Give the new schedule a trial.” The present plan, also, in the view of the Boston ~ Post (independent demo- cratic), probably is temporary and “the general idea of running the ral- roads on the ‘service at cost' plan therefore, being continued. With t longer period of triul it is to be hoped that more satisfactory resuits wil be obtained than in the past two years.’ Even if the horizontal reduct not “scientific,’ the New York ing Post (independent) appealed to the commission as rect, quick and practical way ot dealing with an unsatisfactory situa- While the decision is “a gam- the Post thinks it shows the necessity of the roads securing “re- lief in the matter of costs. Cheaper transportation is a public necessity.” By coupling the cut with a reduc- tion of the net fair return the com- mission “kills two birds with one stone,” the Newark News (independ- ent) aseerts, and in doing o “it has submitted to no dictation or moral pressure by either the President or the roads.” There is no chance for national prosperity, the Lynchburg News (democratic)’ adds, excepting with reduced rates, and the roads can “well afford to sustain the slight re- duction in view of the larger good that will thereby be insured to in- dustrial Americ: And regardless of dispute as to whether a flat reduc- tion was the proper method the In- dianapolis News (independent) ar- gues that “there has been an ap- preciable reduction of rates that af- fects everything, and the buying pub- lic will, in consequence, expect a corresponding recession of prices to accompany the expected increase of business.” That there was no immediate ne- cessity why the question of passenger rates should have been passed upon at this time 18 argued by the Syra- cuse Herald (independent), because they “affect the relative few, whereas freight rates are a matter of concern to every consumer.” Not only that, but “there can be no return to normal times while freight rates between southern and eastern points,” the Birmingham News (democratic) says, “and between northern and western points make prohibitory the ship- ment of commodities essential to the comfort of the American family.” The action s welcome because “public sentiment has long favored and ex- pected a rate reduction order by the commission, the Chicago News (inde- pendent) declares. “At the same time the feeling is strong and widespread that at least some of the raliroads will be unable to earn fair returns on the value of their property under the lowered rates unless the Railroad Labor Board orders substantial wage readjustment.” Such an order a few months ago would have thrown the “stock market into a panic,” the Cin- cinnati Times-Star (republican) re- calls, adding that “the fact that such an order is possible today without immediate unpleasant results speaks well both for the effort to restore railroad efficiency under private man- agement and for the basic soundness of economic conditions in the United States.” The commission should have taken action to reduce at least Pull- man rates, the Savannah Press (demo- cratic) believes, because to the “men who ‘fly by night' a sleeping car is not a luxury, but a necessity.” (That the existing rates have “im- paired the prosperity” of the rail- roads is the opinion of the Appleton Post-Crescent (independent), and the reductions “will unquestionably in- crease volume and we may expect to see before the end of the year a substantial increase in the gross earnings of the railroads.” This posi- tlon is squarely indorsed by the Buffalo Times (democratic), which 1s convinced that “with, freight charges approaching normalcy traffic all over the country will respond. The ac- tion of the Interstate Commerce Commission is the most encoureging news that business, and the great public whose interests in the ulti- mate analysis are eynonymous with those of business, has had for a long ‘while. But, while business will welcome the reduction, the Raleigh News and Observer (democratic) believes that far enough, as “there to bafore =|pen honeyed lines, or improve upon | velopment plans—while the purposes} and ideals of the organization are yet fresh in the minds of the people.

Grant himself, at times. The structure also was occupled in the past by the Russlan embassy, and during the world war housed the Itallan high commission.

It used to be considered funny when a hypothetical resident of Chi- cago was quoted as saying that his home town would yet “make culture hum." The older centers of culture used to think that this remark was quite too deliciously indicative of the middle western attitude toward belles lettres and the arts. But, as it has turned out, the joke was the other way around. Chicago {s making cul- ture hum, and this time there is nothing funny about it. It turned out the other day that Chicagoans do not leave the pursuit ; of art to the professional artist, nor the cultlvation of literature to the writer who doues nothing but write. There are in Chicago successful busi- ness and professional men who are painters, poets, authors and com- posers, and good ones, teo. Outside of business hours these men seek neither the golf course nor the caba- ret, but woo the several muses to good effect.

A _story comes from New York that will strike a responsive chord in the heart of every mother and father in America. Children in one of the chief hos- pitals of the metropolis were tried with all manner of dolls—walking dolls, talking dolls, dolls with real hair. They joved them all, mothering them with the tender care little women always shower on their do But the one of them all most prized —the one hugged tightest to the little | breast, the constant companion of the ull‘!;xg youngster—was the homely rag oll. Do you remember when you, too, loved a rag dollie—when you took it it under the covers before you went to sleep? If so, you will recall that you picked it up as soon as mother had dressed you and combed your hair and washed your face. It had a place on the chair by you when you ate breakfast. You probably kissed it a fond good-bye before you duti- fully trotted off to school. ang it was the first plaything you sought when you came home. You may have a little daughter now in your home who has followed in your footsteps, who has her own rag dollle, which she rocks to sleep at night, her own curly head meantime sinking lower and lower until the sandman comes and carries her away —away—away to that slumberland where all good children are angels and all children are good. And mayhap again, when father picks her up in his arms and carries her to her little bed, yo» go along to tuck her in—and ‘put the rag dollie beside her, that she may find comfort in its presence if she wakes during the night and may have it beside her when she greets the morn- ing sun.
