For on this day. it is expected, the leaders of the railroad ! unions now on strike will “decide whether or not to accept the latest proposal of President Harding, offered as a means of seitling the strike and effceting the resumption of wor history 1t is also a crucial day in th { of American railroads. For today the | ttives of the lines will on their part decide whether or not to accept the same proposal and by submitting | all questions involved in the strike to the legally established board of award 10 cause the resumption of work If cither side rejects the proposal the strike continues. If both accept, it ends i The case is complicated by the | carlier rejection by the executives of the President’s first plan. which pro- posed reference of all questions to the Tabor Board save that of seniority. ] and called for the restoration of | seniority rights to all the strikers. The union leaders had accepted this proposition. Now it is feared that the | unions will reject the suggestion to submit the seniority question to the Labor Board. while evidence appears of a decided division of opinfon among the executives on this question. If either side refuses to accept this plan for the submission of the whole case 1o the Labor Board. seniority in «cluded. the strike continues. And there 1= danger that it will spread to inciude other crafts than those of the shops. | Members of the “brotherhoods.” the men who handle the trains, arc being advised by their leaders that they may refuse to work if they believe that they are endangered by operating ot safe equipment, or by the presence of armed guards in the yards and around | i the termina placed there to prevent interference with the working skop- men. The case thus has gone beyond the question of seniority. The shop strike, it is plain. had not succeeded. The roads are still operating, on fair per- | centage of efficiency, though six weeks | have now passed. The shops are| Leing steadily more fully manned.| with new employes and with returning strikers. Were it not for coal short- age, due to the strike in that industry, the train service would be very neariy normal. The question arises whether the complaints of the brotherhoods re- garding safety are not inspired by sympathy for the striking shopmen and a desire to aid them rather than consideration for public or personal security. Upon that side which refuses to ac- cept the plan of the President for a complete reference to the Labor Board will rest the responsibility for the con- tinuation and possible spreading of the strike. If both reject, upon both sides will that responsibility rest. But the public will not be s ed by a mere | definition or by a distinct division of | the responsibility. If the railroads can | maintain service as the case stands,! and if the strike does not spread to include other crafts and unions. the | public will not be concerned. If, how- | ever, refusal of the executives today 10 accept the submission plan leads to a spread of the strike they will incur 1he odium of inviting a disaster, even | ihough the public may wholly agree that they were right in their refusal to yield the seniority principle in their rejection of the President's first pro- posal. If. on the other hand, the ex- ecutives accept and the unions reject | full submission, and the strike spreads, the people will hold the labor leaders 8& accountable for any troubles that may later develop, through the spread of the strike and through the applica- tion of such drastic measures as the | government must then adopt to in-} sure adequate transportation. ———— Like every other form ‘of capital. a | trike fund has to be handled with a ! certain amount of economical discre- tion. —_———— 1t is feared that the victory of M.-.i is rarely exceptional. Long time may pass before the truth is revealed, but eventually, save in those few. extreme cases, it comes to light. However carefully plans are laid or traces are suspicion, and with shrewd police work suspicion leads to the disclosure of facts and facts soon develop proof. Individual crime is harder to trace than gang crime, for the slayer may preserve his secret while among sev- eral participants one is almost certain to slip in act or speech and give & hint of the circumstances. But even the craftiest murderer, whether he has plotted his crime or has killed in a moment of passion, is likely to leave some slight mark or sign. It often happens that the very care taken to cover up traces gives rise to the in- itial suspicion that is the starting point of discovery. —_———— Reform in Court Practice. In an address before the American Bar Association at San Francisco Chief Justice Taft disclosed a condi- tion existing in the federal courts which is & matter for profound public concern. It is difficult to arouse a great deal of interest in questions of court procedure and congested dockets, but these matters come’ much nearer to the people in their daily lives than they realize. Next to exact justice nothing is of more importance than expeditious justice, and according to the Chief Justice expedition is the one thing conspicuously lacking in federal court procedure. de from his own experience as a federal judge. Mr. Taft is just back from a prolonged visit abread, during which he was afforded an exceptional opportunity to study court procedure, particularly in the English courts. He found methods in vogue there in many respects superfor to American methods, and the best legal minds in this country have been walting with keen interest to learn what recom- mendations in the way of reform he would make. The meeting of the American Bar Association afforded him a fitting opportunity to speak. Mr. Taft finds that at the seat of the trouble is the lack of a sufficient number of judges, and he is strongly impressed with the necessity that Congress shall pass the pending bill providing for appointment of twenty additional district judges. But this will not alone provide an adequate remedy. Some judges work seives to death trying to keep their 1dockets clear, while others take things ea. accepting hopelessly congested doc as inevitable. This condition would be remedied, he thinks, by the ten members, to consist of the Chief Justice and the senior associate {justice of each circuit. to meet in W ington once a year to consider reports from each district judge as to the character of arrears in his court, these reports to be the bases for de- termining what districts needed ext judicial force. This tem not only would result in providing help for overworked judges, but judges who are dilatory would be shown unfavorable a light that they inevita. bly would be spurred to greater energy. Justice Taft proposes certain other reforms in court procedure more or less confusing to the lay mind, but of the utmost importance in enabling the courts, and particularly the Supreme Court, to keep abreast of the ever- growing business which comes before them. However dry reading his recommendations may make to the average vcitizen, even those of non- legal mind must realize that here is a Chief Justice playing & new role. In addition to his great talents as e lawyer and a judge, Mr. Taft is shown to have a constructive mind of the first order, and he brings to considera- tion of the important problem before him wide experience as an administra- tor. The combination gives us a new type of judge as interesting as it is promising of benefits. ———————— Lloyd George's declaration that the next war, if a next war is permitted. will be more terrible than the war preceding is rendered more impressive by the fact that such predictions in the past have invariably come, true. As civilization progresses, the” faclli- ties for destruction progress with fit. i It is unfortunate that all controver- sies cannot be handled as promptly and authoritatively as those arlsing {in base ball and the pictures. l Knickerbockers have about disposed of the old theory that women regulate their attire with a view of being at- ractive to the masculine eye. * i There will always be a contention that the league of nations would be a great success if it could be put in practical working order. “Mercy” at Moscow. Evidence of changed conditions in | Russia is afforded by the action of Teed of Missouri will make discipline more difficult than ever for the democ~’ racy. i A Murder Mystery. Another murder mystery awaits ®olution by the police of the District| &nd Maryland. A dead man, obviously slain by the infliction of many stab wounds, is found partially hidden in a culvert alongside a road in Maryland. | His hat is discovered some distance *away, and blood spots leave a -trail from that point to the hiding place. Deductions from the known facts sug-, gest that one man did the killing, that the motive was vengeance, and that the body was first carried in @ motor to a remote spot and then dragged into | hiding. Fingerprints may possibly lead to identification. But the clothing is almost certain to yield a clue to identity, while the body.itself was found so quickly after death—here again the enterprise and curiosity of the small boy are to be recognized as the factors of discovery—that there the central executive committee at Moscow, which is now virtually the government, in ordering an indefinite stay of execution in the case of the twelve social revolutionists just sen- tenced to death for “high treason.” Thirty-four were on trial. Three were acquitted, fourteen were convicted and sentenced to death and the others were given prison sentences of from two to ten years. The death sentences of two of those condemned were modi- fied by the central committee. The twelve whose death sentences were approved will be held as hostages. If the social revolutionists cease their counter-revolutionary - activit; these men will be spared. But if apy move is made toward the overthrow of the soviet government they will be put to death. Formerly there would have been no such temporizing or bargaining. Sum- mary executions were the order when the bolsheviki first gained control. Possibly it will never be known how many were slain in this way. Grad- should be no difficulty in ascertaining “the name and station of the victim. From that point on the search for the elayer is facilitated. Who had reason to wish him dead? Who was last seen in his company? Who had the oppor- tunity as well as the motive for killing him? These are the preliminary ques- tions in such a pursuit. The chances -l@are all against the slayer. Once in a ‘while murder temaine unsolved, but it ually the soviet has been modifying its policy of cruelty and ruthless re- pression. This has been in keeping with the change of economic policy forced by the complete failure of the bolshevik plan of rule by absolute state control. Strong pressure has been brought to bear upon the soviet government by socialists in ell countries for the’ lives of the thirty-four accused per- a them- | proposed creation of a judiclal council ! in 80| |smm Resolutions, huve been adoplcd!’ iby organizations t were in some | cases couched in térms of strong de- nunclation of the policy of reprisals by death. Others were pleas for ..August 11, 1922 ., 0jey, some slight cluc leads to|mercy. But,in whatever terms. it has been evident that the sccialists out- side of Russia are altogether out of sympathy with the death policy of the soviet. Does the yielding on this point signify a real change of heart or merely a shift of tactics to preserve the sympathy and support of the radicals of other countriés? If the former, there is reason to hope for progressive modification of bolshevik rule. If the latter, there is ground to fear continued propagande by the soviet against established 'govern- ments elsewhere. \ —_———— The President at Home. The republicans of Ohio mustered at the polls in much larger numbers !on primary day than the democrats. { Will they repeat the performance on election day? Mr. Harding has special claims on his fellow Buckeyes. He has served them In several high offices, and is! serving them now in the highest office | to the hest of his conceded ability.} They helped to put him in it by & ma-1 jority of nearly four hundred thou- sand votes. The republican tide rose high in Ohio in 1920. He entered the White House in cir- cumstances of great dificulty. He in- | herited a man’s job for fair. Both our foreign and domestic relations were in & mess. Tt was impossible for him to turn in any directlon and take up any question without facing confusion and embarrassments. But he did not hesitate or draw back,j He called Congress together in spe- cial session, made his report on the state of the Union. and asked for ac- tion on the more pressing questions. He has not escaped criticlsm. He could not have hoped for immunity. But that, in the main, he has carried himselt well in office s not open to doubt when the record is fairly and fully examined. “The folks back home," therefore, towe it to him and to themselves to give him a square and generous deal | at this first opportunity to pass upon {his work as President. i i Racing River Steamers. | The attention of the police, or nu-l supervisor of this district for steam- jboat inspection, is directed to the dis- j position of commanders of two Potomae river steamers to engage in races on their final evening trips. Two | of these boats, coming home from | down-river excursions the other night. iwere raced for several miles. When one of them was overtaken, below Fort { Washington, bells were rung for full | speed ahead. and the two craft were pushed to the limit to the Alexandria dock. There is danger in this practice, and lit is hoped that it will be promptly checked. The risks involve the safety of hundreds of people. The boilers may |not endure the heavy pressure. The {eraft may be steered, for advantage, {too close to the channel banks. Fit- teen years ago one of these same | steamers was run aground during a {race up the river. Rivairy between crews and between }m-senxera may induce these competi- {tions without thought for the conse- | quences. But it is decidedly too dan- gerous a game, and if warning, of- ficially given, is not heeded prosecu- | i ! | | tions should be instituted to bring into court those who are responsible for the practice. This is the time to act, before disaster occurs. ——————— | Mexican bandits evidently regard [themselves as engaged in a time- | magic { evidence THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, HERETOFORE unprinted ex- ample of & man's high regard for his word and his faith- fulness to a friend is the story of James E. Watson, United States senator from Indiana. Several months before President Harding was chosen the standard-bearer of the republican party Watson was approached by two men. One of them represented forty of the most influential citizens of the country. The other man bore a mes- sage from personal friends of Wat- son who pledged any sum that might be needed for preconvention activ- ities. Hoth men stated to the senator that the parties they represented at- tached no strings to the offer. The two men represented groups of in- dividuals that might have landed the nomination for Watson, and yet be- cause of his friendship for Harding he turned down the proposals. A severe test, indeed. * * ¥ X T A recent meeting of publishers two of the leading spirits whiled away some of the leisure hours in matching coins. One of the party, the editor and publisher of a well known Pacific coast paper, appeared to have phenomenal luck, much to the chagrin and discomfiture of his assoclates. That same evening they were given a special performance by Malini, the n. who was in Washington last winter. Malini greeted the west- ern publisher most heartily, explain- ing to a number of the crowd that they had been friends for a number of years and that he had taught him several tricks with coins. Now they're wondering just what tricks Malinl taught him. * k% k \IUMBEREU among my acquaint- LN ances is a very sweet young woman who, like many other maidens, durinz this year became obsessed with the desire to have a little gar- den of her own, and being like most young women veey fond of pickles, she tripped gayly one day into a store where they sold garden and flower seeds and wanted to know if they kept any pickle seed.

Has the business of keeping the American people amused developed into a great industry, so great, in- deed. that it needs its powerful di- rectors and overlords just as steel does? This is the question that forms the chief interest. in the editorial mind, of the announcement that the Producing Managers' Association, an organization comprising practically all the worthwhile theatrical pro- ducers of the country, has made Au- gustus Thomas the controliing head of the legitimate stage. Following as it does the creation of a “dictatorship” in base ball and in motion plctures, this latest de- velopment is regarded by editors as that the three principal means by which we as a people find our amusement have, indeed, as the New York Globe sa of the most importan have,” and as such must employ the same methods that obtain in other successtul industries. Granting this premise, the American press is unani- mous In approving the choice of {honored industry with which new no- | tions of government have no right to ] interfere. —_——— | The remarks of the katydid hailing the gradual departure of summer ! { arows more plaintive as they suggest | { reflections on the coal situation. | —_————— | If the tariff makes clothes as expen- lsive as many economists fear, the popular use of overalls will again be advocated.

For that influence, editors are certain. | will be so strongly exerted toward of thoroughly clean drama that the movement toward official censorship will fail for want of anything to build on. What this move on the part of theater men means, the Springfield Republican thinks, is that “another ‘big-business’ group has chosen a big man of high standing in his profession and in the public confi- dence to co-ordinate its activities, reduce its frictions and ald it in giving public service,” for, as the Lansing (Mich) State Journal says, ‘it is a serious business, this cater- ing to the public, as we are giving constantly more attention to the value of the joy of living: It this trend toward “industrial des- potism” which _the _appointment of Judge Landis in base ball, Will Hays in the movies and Augustus Thomas in the theater suggests ‘scems a denial of American principles,” the Cleveland News suggests that “the answer may be in the reputation for efficiency borne by monarchies,” and further, “that the dic- tators are being taiied upen to direct realms hitherto without central govern- ments of their own.” In a word. the Dayton News adds, “the proposition is centralization of authority,” a necessity in this country, “where too many cooks have invariably spoiled the broth in various lines of business.” the production In the case of organized base ball and | the motion picture industry, however, the man chosen for the post of djctator had to be found outside the fleld, while the theatrical producers, as the New York Evening World points out, “were more fortunate. There was one man— and only one—for the’ job, Augustus Thomas. If any one can do what needs doing he promises te be that one.” The New York Times objects to the use of “overlord” or “dictator” to ex- press the relation of Landis, Hayves or Thomas to the work each is trying to do in his given sphere. Particularly with reference to Thomas, it believes “guide, philosopher and friend would be better, though the order of the words should be reversed. Friend this new type of executive must be, or he would not be asked to take the post. There is an equal need of philosophy if he is to continue in it. The net result, it is hoped, will he guidance in the way those who appoint him wish in their hearts to go." Certainly “the new appointee's quali- fications for the post,” the Baltimore American feels, “approach as near to the ideal as sensible human hearts could desire,” since, in the words of the Allen- town Chronicle and News, “‘Augustus Thomas knows the theater inside and out from every angle; literary, artistic, interprétative and managerial. He served his apprenticeship as actor, play- wright, producer, manager and director. “Being a playwright, town (Pa.) Herald, “he understands the incentive of box office receipts as well as does the manager,” and hence will be in tune with the productive end, while at the same time, the Milwaukeo Sentinel asserts, “he knows the Ameri- can theatergoer and what that person- age wants” and, the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette adds, “has the com- plete confidence of the American public.” In view of his eminent fitness to control the destinies of the theater, Lis appointment, the Decatur Review “will bring hope to those who would like to see the day of healthy, vigorous, clean American drama re- turn,” for, as the Loulsville Courler- Journal, in common with many. notes, in his own dramatic writings Thomas “has never soiled his pen with an un- clean play”; rather “his treatment of hi themes has been altogether whole- some."” The Utica jObserver-Dispatch has faith that “Mr. Thomas will endeavor Here and There in Washington -BY “THE MAJOR” become “three | industries we t says the Unlon- D. told how on Sunday after the morn-l would go out to the blackberry patch, and gather great big tin buckets full of the luscious fruit.

Helen of Troy was not more talked about than are the young girls of this age who are made to regard them- selves as flappers. They have not un- naturally come to feel that it is neces- sary for them to talk and act and dress the part. QGirlhood is denied them. As soon as they are out of the nursery. the world calle them flappers and begins its interminable comment on their dress. their conversation, their social habits and the thoughts that are supposed to be in their head: Thus has the flapper come to be social institution and to mean any girl and any woman of almost any {age who dresses near enough to the prevalling_ modes to escape conspicu- tougness. It's an unfortunate Instit tion in some ways, for it hi to quite young kirls & very exagg ated notfon of its importance, and of their own.

It muat be painful to have to pose all the time, and to have to do and say the things they are supposed to do and say as flappers. when they'd rather be girls if only the world wasn’t look- ing.—Kansas City Star.
