Refusal of the miners to agree to arbitrate future disputes has resuited in breaking off negotiations for ending the anthracite coal strike, and the pessimistic report is sent out from Philadelphia that there is little pros- pect for the resumption of hard coal mining ' before or during the winter.” 1: is tise that the question whether the agraa-upon wage scale should ex- pire nef April 1 or April 1, 1924, was atill in 8ispute when the conference was abandoned, but this probably would have presented little difficulty had officials of the United Mine V\:ork» ers not taken an adamant stand against arbitration. Labor leaders professed to be in- dignant at the assertion of President Harding that the country was at the mercy of the United Mine Workers. The stand they have taken in the hard coal dispute is an admission that they believe they have the country at their mercy. They feel so confident of their organized strength that they prefer to rely upon it rather than submit to im- partial arbitration. In other words. they are not content with assurances that justice will be done their cause. They feel strong enough to enforce their demands, regardless of whether ihey are just or unjust. They throw to the winds an opportunity to assure peace in the anthracite fields and de- clare their preference for continuance of industrial warfare. 1t a course had been deliberately chosen for the purpose of alienating public sympathy from the cause of the miners their leaders could not have sclected a better one. The people of this country and of the world believe 1in the principle of arbitration, and are coming more and more to believe that | its application to all manner of con- iroversies is necessary to the welfare of mankind. In the past it has been one of the tenets of organized labor. In many trades it is in such success- ful operation that strikes are almost unthought of. But these things appear to be lost upon the leaders of the United Mine Workers. They have tasted power, and like it. Any agreed-upon system for arbitrating the wages of miners would 1ake power away from them, and rather than this they would drag their tollowers throggh a wageless ‘winter and expose the Public to the perils and hardships and certain suffering of a coal famine. The dictum of “The pub- lc be damned” was never more arro- gantly pronounced. The United Mine Workers are strong, it is true, and just now they may appear to have a strangle hold. But the American people as a whole are stronger. If necessity compels them to exert their strength it is like- 1y to fare ill with Mr. Lewis and his asociates, who, today, apparently, are so contemptuous of the public and its rights. i The ultimate consumers in the audi- ence are entitled to complain that in- dustrial performers now holding the stage are contributing too much dia- logue and not enough action. i Many Massachusetts republicans in- sist that as a senator Mr. Lodge has senfority rights that ought to be re- spected. 1 Motor vehicles were expected to put the horse out of business. The hand- book maker will testify that they have not done so. * Fortunately, no deadlock can be con- sidered complete until it blocks the way to further conference. Ireland’s Heavy Loss. Michael Collins dead! The word of the assassination of this brilliant, dash- ing, commanding young Irishman causes even greater grief among those ‘who hope for a free, happy, prosperous Treland than did the news of the pass- ing of Arthur Griffith. For while Grif- fith was a man of power and great ability, a statesman in the truest sense, Collins was an inspiring leader as well, magnetic in personality, in- trepid, indifferent to danger, a soldier and at the same time inspired by a vision of Ireland as a nation. His loss is a severe blow to the Free State or- zanization, greater, perhaps, than that of Griffith, for his work was that of maintaining the military campaign to establish the dominion government firmly against the assaults of the ir- regulars. Michael Collins, born on & farm, without family means, became a clerk in the London post office, quit that job because it offered few chances for ad- vancement and entered financial serv- ice. He learned the banking business, and it was into his hands that the Sinn Fein intrusted its monetary interests when that organization set up its op- position to British rule. Taken prison- er, he was released and later became one of the feremost figures of the negotiations that led to the establish- ment of the Free State. He was min- ister of finance of the new Ireland in addition to his post of commander of the forces. After Griffith’s death he became virtually the head of the state. The first question that arises is whether the death of Collins will check 'the establishment of the Free State. - He was marked for reprisal, it is + stated, for the death of Harry Boland,| t, 7. ah! died recently of wounds received in a skirmish. Republicans claim thet Bo- land was murdered by Free Staters when he was unarmed. But it is known that the irregulars have de- creed a warfare of ambuscades and in- dividual killings, and it is far more likely that Collins was marked down for death because of his prominence and the value of his services to the Free State. The plain purpose of the insurgents is to terrorize and destroy, and thus, it possible, to prevent the maintenance of government at Dublin. A call for a meeting of the dail - | eireann has been issued. This body has been kept out of session, because it was hoped that the work of pacifica- tion would be completed soon, and it was desired to get all military matters out of the way before the parliament began its discussion of civic questions. But the death of Collins, following so quickly upon that of Griffith, presents an emergency. New leaders must be named. Tt is likely that the slaying of 0¢ | Collins will react quickly egainst the republicans, for he was easily the most popular figure in Ireland. The con- structive work of the past- half year will not be undone by this crime, even though it may lead to further suffer- ing and losses before the state is stabilized and Ireland has straightened out on the road to peaceful self-admin- istration. Next Month—Perhaps! Some light is thrown upon the puz- zle of the failure of justice in the mat- ter of race gambling cases in the course of an interview with the as- sistant district attorney in charge of such mattersat the Police Court, print- ed in yesterday's Star. It seems that all of the defendants in these cases demand jury trials, and only one day in each week is set apart for such trials. The result is that seventy-one accusations are now on file in court, and there is no prospect of action until next month. Wait until then, prom- ises the prosecutor, when the jurars, now on vacation, return, and we'll have action. Maybe so. Perhaps there will be some action. Certainly it is long over- due. These cases have been piling up for months when jurors were not on vacation. They piled up before one of the judges began to sit in Traffic Court. They piled up before prohibi- tion went into effect and before liquor cases were the mainstay of the con- gested docket. They seem to have a habit of piling up whatever the condi- tions. 1f the Police Court cannot handle these cases, why has there been no call for help? It has been notorious for some years that the police found difficulty in getting action on the prosecutions for the violation of the anti-gambling laws. Perfectly good evidence went to waste. Witnesses drifted out of the jurisdiction. The gamblers went on with their business, somewhat under cover, meanwhile making money enough to pay for their bonds when arrested and for their legal advice and leave a substantial profit. If the court costs of operation became too heavy it was always pos- | sible to take a heavier toll from the {easy-mark addicts who daily begged for chances to be stung. Now the job of the police is to make ]mo congestion even heavier, to pile up more cases in the Police Court, to increase the cost of operations and thus to force a show-down in Septem- ber or later, or else effect a demon- stration that the court itself is the prime cause of the nullification of the law. A Strong Slogan. The Ohio republicans could not easily strengthen their slogan for this year's campaign—*'Stand by the Presi- dent and the national administration,” | The appeal is made after a service of eighteen months. It is based upon the record, which will now undergo a discussion of two months and & helf. i Nothing has been done in a corner, either at the White House or on Capi- tol Hill. The President is Ohio born and bred. The people know him, and have re- peatedly given him their confidence. Two years ago they essisted by a ma- jority of nearly four hundred thou- sand—the largest in the history of the state—in his election to the presi- dency. Thus, partly at their instance, the President took up in March of last year the burden bequeathed by the Wilson administration. It was heavy and complex beyond precedent. No man upon entering on the duties of the presidency ever faced greater con- fusion in our public affairs. The home- ly old word ‘“mess” most accurately describes it. Not all has been done that the Presi- dent hes desired and recommended. A topheavy majority in Congress has militated against teamwork. Faction- ism has at times been a clog on the ‘wheel of progress. But a great deal has been done, and the most of it under the President's divection. He has been diligent on the job, not sparing himself at any time. And now he turns to “the folks back home” and asks their approval of his labors. And their answer will be so important it may have a bearing on the campaign of 1924. ———— Lenin has had a long convalescence. His ultimate recovery may depend more on conditions as announced by the politicians, rather than those noted by the doctors. ————————— In all its history the I. W. W. has not yet been able to contribute any constructive suggestion. ——————————— A Lively Primary. The primary campaign in California does not lack for ginger. This is from Sacramento: A riot call brought a patrol wagon load of detectives to quell a disturb- ance last night at & meeting where Thomas Lee Woolwine, district at- torney of Los Angeles and™vandidate heckling. iwine start- ed to tell of his activities involvin, the Ku Klux an in Los Angeles scores persons began hooting and tion, but sometimes takes its course from fiction. Note the striking re- semblance between this Pacific coast episode and the old story of the man at a political meeting who when the speaker began to score heavily egainst his side nudged his friend in the next seat and said: “Call him a lar, Jack, and start a fight.” And note also that this interruption at Sacramento came from & Ku Kluxer—a member of an organization boasting of .its devotion to law and order, and of its desire” to assist all regularly constituted authorities in law enforcement. Heckling in good temper and for a good purpose is & good thing, and e well established political custom. Many stumpers enjoy it. S8ome invite it. It is & sort of fencing match, and sparks fly. A heckler who knows his subject and a hecklee equal to an en- counter can afford an audience not only entertainment, but instruction. But e heckler who has no other object than to start a fight is a nuisance, and should promptly be given the gate. The Herrin Massacre. In expressing his pleasure at the news that the Illinois authorities were at last moving in the matter of the Herrin massacre, President Harding, in a letter to the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, said: al public did no the federal government was to act in the matter, and it Was unbearable to have a widespread impression that the federal govern- ment was willingly or purposely ig- noring that inexcusable crime. There is, of course, & conscience in Illinois which will not tolerate such a dis- raceful thing. It will be very ple: fi& to me and reassuring to the wh country to know that this conscience is finding expression. The Herrin infamy stands out from other lynching infamies for a fiendish- ness all its own. Working off a human being at the end of a rope; or filing his body full of lead from a hundred smoking muzzles; or even tying him to @ stake and roasting him alive, car- ries a suggestion of wild passion con- trolling the low mentalities of the crea- tures so employed. But at Herrin the lynchers, cold- bloodedly and with calculation, jeered their victims in the latters’ dying mo- ments and taunted them with their fate. The wonder is they did not form a ring with joined hands, and, in the old Comanche fashion, now out of date even among Indians, dance around the prostrate persons, and add the last fiendish touch to a fiendish perform- ance. They may have done so, and the detail escaped the chronicler in the ‘midst of so much excitement. Not one of the perpetrators of that exceptional crime wore e mask. All of them defied the law in the boldest way, and seemed unafraid of punish- ment. But let us hope that punish- ment now is close at hand. Apparently Poincare fears that the eventual settlement will not leave Ger- meny conscious that she really lost the war. Both the great political parties re- flect the spirit of the country’s indus- tries In admitting the need of some recrganization. Conferences inevitably fail when participants have their minds irrev- ocably made up in advance of the meeting. Lenin is not disposed to interrupt & comfortable convalescence by under- taking official cares of delicate re- sponsibility. The producing and consuming pub- lic are at present less interested in political band wagons than in freight cars. It is generally conceded that while the primaries prolong the interest of an election they do not simplify. Of the lessons of the war, Germany finds the lesson in arithmetic the hardest. SHOOTING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOBNSON, The Muse's Compromise. I love the little birds that sing. 1 love the blooming flowers. 1 love the summer skies that fling A rainbow through the showers. The pretty butterflies and bees Evoke my edmiration. I fain would glive to things like these Poetic celebration. "Tis true, & muse, however mild, Should strive for serious measures; But when the world is running wild Amid the jazzy pleasures, And even putting Jazzy stuff, In matters economic, It's hard to mdke a tragic bluff That doesn’t turn out comic. ‘When men are plainly at a loss For methods of decision On who shall work and who shall boss, Our system needs revision. No slender muse can take a care Of problems which thus go forth. And so I sing the blossoms fair, The birds and bees, and so forth. Slight Modification. “What is the difference between a politician and a statesman?” “There isn't much,” replied Senator Sorghum. “During a campaign a statesman is a politician, and after a campaign & politician is a statesman.” Jud Tunkins says people are always in favor of reform, but always con- fident it is the other fellow that needs it.

C, WEDNESDAY Here and There in Washingt BY “THE B UMEROUS automobilists who had parked their cars along the Speedway a couple of days ago beheld an unusual aight when a man and woman drove up in a good-looking sedan, in the in- terior of -which was & large lavender balloon. Some thought, perhaps, it was just a fad for the young woman to carry a balloon in the car; perhap again, it was her idea to have the balloon of a shade to match her fetch- ing summer hat. The man alighted, glanced at his watch, unfastened the balloon from its moorings in the car, sent it aloft, keeping an eye on his watch until his companion stated that it had passed out of range of vision. No, it was not a new fad; it was not an advertising dodge; it was merely & former officer of the air service ex- perimenting with air currents. * % ok x AMES J.

His political sagac- ity is acknowledged by republicans and democrats alike, but his claim to fame does not rest alone upon his political acumen. He has many other attributes that stamp him as being a man of unusual attainments. It is not generally known that Senator Mc- Cormick, in addition to being an ex- cellent writer and speaker, is a first- rate judge of horse flesh, but such 1s a fact. Professional horsemen of Illinois bhave long since come to the conclusion that it is a waste of time to try to sell the senior senator from Illinois a steed that does not prove to be perfect upon examina- tion. Perhaps one of the reasons that he keeps physically fit is due to the fact that nearly every morning, just after the sun has commenced to shine on our beautiful city, Sepator Mc- Cormick is to be seen riding a favor- ite mount through Rock Creek Park. € x % %, HAT the evils of gambling have not diminished to an appreciable extent is best shown by & conversa- tion that I happened to overhear while walking down Pennsylvania avenue the other day. Two young men, or rather two youngsters—they did not look over fourteen or fifteen years of age—were discussing with gusto the merits and demerits of the horses that were running on the sum- mer tracks. The language they em- ployed was similar to that used by stable boys and touts on a big-town track, and it is doubttul if any of the well known race horse owners of the country ever spoke with as much as- surance as did these lads, who should have been home cutting the front lawn or going to the store for their mothers. EDITORIAL DIGEST Lord Northoliffe’s Death Loss to Entire World. The entire world suffered a loss in the death of Lord Northcliffe. On this point American newspapers are unanimous. As a journalist his posi- tion was entirely secure, it is agreed But concerning his political career there is a disposition on the part of many to reserve decision. For the most part his actions are ac- cepted as having at all times been influenced by an overwhelming love of country, and this is acknowledged, but_the inevitable comparisons are made between his course and that of other British statesmen and the sub- ject finds editors at extreme variance %0 far as their conclusions are con- cerned. His frienuship for America is conceded and his great work for the allied and associated cause in the world war universally is comme: d. He was “unique” and was the sort of man that can be classi- fled and labeled for all times” the Richmond News Leader is convinced and “from first to last he displayed courage, independen a thirst for power and a knowledge of newspaper methods that was uncanny.” How- wannzh Press is convinced t work was in behalf of England during the war. His gn since the armistice has been violent and abusive. powerful and picturesque journalist who, if he had followed his original plan of not aspiring to office, would have been a greater power and a more successful man.’ It was “as & journalist that he will command by far the larger degree of attention when one contemplates his life and worl the Lynchburg News asserts, “but he was a patriot of high order, a man of positive convictions, of dynamic energy, of definite pur- pose and daring disposition, who, in dying, leaves behind him a deep and honorable impress upon the history of his time.” Where he was right and where he was wrong ‘‘now goes to the impartial verdict of history,” the Buffalo Times says, and “England has lost a potent influence and a mighty man.” Likewise, he was will ing to stake his all on the righteou ness of his position, as when he as sailed Kitchener, the Milwaukee Jour- nal recalls, and; later as a “friend of | Ireland, he used the influence of his| papers to further a settlement which would bring peace and justice be- tween the two British isles. He could not hope always to be right. What he did was to fight for what he thought| was right. His life proved that on such a foundation a man who be-! gins without any backing may win| great battles and become a leader nl{ influence and great usefulness.” “The story of his rise to fame and ‘wealth and influen points out the New York Times, romantic, almost incredibly so. His daring, his re- source, his fertility in invention, his uncanny divination of the tastes of the British lower and middle classes, ware almost beyond belief. He per- haps incapable of creating a - great newspaper such as is the London Times, but at least he recognized its prestige and successtully sought to| acquire it. All in all, he was One of the most remarkable figures of :lut' day. Journalistic myths will in time come to cluster about his name, but none of them can excite more wonder than do the plain facts of his aston- ishing career.” But the New York Tribune feels that “he used his power much less for money-making than for the exploitation of ideas which bors the stamp of his eager and restless mind and his vigorous personality.” “He was not afraid to attack a pub- lic idol or an ancisgt precedent,” de- clares the New London Day. “He be- lieved in letting the people know just what was happening and did his full share in furnishing the information. The death of such a man is & tremen- dous loss to his own country and the world.” But the New York Post points out that “the verdict of his- tory upon his career in journalism wiil be mpre quickly given than upon his political. The healthy new forces he {ntroduced into, British {oumnhm far outweighed the evils e did with his sationalism—quite different from the American brand—| and his lack of principle. But it 1s teo soon to appraise his work in the political sphere. His feryent fon- alism on the Boer question, his long campaign to arouse distrust of Ge: many, his attack ‘on Kitchener, his Jemand for high,explosives, and his influence in the overthrow of —As- uith, his more recent duel with (‘Aoyd George and champlonship of the French policy—all this cannot be properly weighed.

To the list of heroes of the sea add the name of James C. Corrigan, senior second engineer of the steam- ship Adriatic. Among the first to reach the hold where the explosion on the liner occurred, he darted into the smoke with the cry: “One of my men is in there! “Don’t go in yet, it's full of gas and you'll never get out!” his captain called. “Damn the gas!” was his reply, he disappeared. Not only did he bring out a victim of the accident, but he also joined the bucket brigade and stayed with it until the fire was extinguished.

The City Peaceful. In a far western city the mayor, presiding at the meeting of the city council and saying that he was greatly annoyed and deprived of needed rest by a saxophone player in his neighborhood, thought that in the future of city soning the sones should be drawn on such lines as would place such amateur perform- ers all in one part of town. But if the saxophone, why not the slide trombone, the cornet—anything in the way of a musical instrument in the hands of a beginner? Would it be possible, without sacrificing the City Beautiful to the demands of the City Peaceful, to reduce the num ber of lawns and so to segregal them that the ambitious citisens using the lawn mowers early in the morning, while the dew is on the bluegrass, would not disturb others wanting to sleep at the matutinal hour? Or can the mechanical musical instrument, pilano or phonograph, be zoned?
