The peopie must and will have coal and transportation, and if there is no other way to prevent the ervible suffering which would result from a famine in these essential com- modities the evils of federal control ‘and operation must be endured, but even though the time be short and the situation growing desperate it still is to be hoped some other way will be found. Following a conference at the White Chaivman Cummins interstate commerce committee announced that “If there isn't a settlement in a few days 1 will introduce a bill authorizing the gov- ernment to operate the mines” and he added that the r would be ziven a “reasonable time” in which to demonstrate their ability to furnish adequate service, and that those un- able to do so would be taken over by the government This ought (o bring home to the an thracite mine owners and miners and the railroad executives and their <reiking shop the fact that the time for action has arrived, that they sodi ttle their differences the putier of a settloment will be taken out of their hands.

The demand wiil be that Congress put “teeth” in the transportation act. giving the Rail- road Labor Board power to enforce its decisions, and that some such tribunal, equally endowed with teeth, be set up tor the mining industry. Labor leaders are on record as op- posed to arbitration and as favoring collective bargaining” as a means of settling industrial disputes. But if it is shown that collective bargaining is incapable of averting a great national disaster, the opposition of labor lead- to arbitration will have little weight with the American people. ers Gen. Wood's Successor. When the time comes, who will suc- ceed Gen. Wood at Manila? It is an important billet, and may hecome more important in the next few y That part of the world is in a state of great unrest. China is rocking with domestic disorder. No- hody ventures to predict the outcome. Nobedy would be surprised if “a strong man,” possessing some occiden- tal charas . appeared and seized the opportunity to dominate the situ- ition. The empire, rich beyond caleu- lation in undeveloped resources, and contai four hundred million peo- vie, w be a great prize. Japan. while in a sense stable, is showing the effects, observable ‘where, of the recent world up- aval. The old order, hard pressed, i« giving way slowly. The new order, rot vet in rounded form, is advancing confidently. We shall see some ma- terial changes in that capable country in the near future. In the Philippines we are a near neighbor to China and Japan, interest- od in all developments In those great ates. We must keep ourselves in trim while we remain; and we are like- Iy to remain for some time longer. Hence the advisability. not to say the necessity, of having a strong man in chief command at Manila, represent- ing a definite American purpose, and assured of support here at home in the arrying out of American policies. Gen. Wood's successor should, and probably will. be of the Wood's kind. ——————— ‘The old showman might have been right in saying that the public likes to he humbugged.

Recent demonstrations in Europe with glider planes have caused a va- riety of emotions in different coun- trzes, intense chagrin in France, alarm in other allied lands and astonishment throughout the world. Two flelds of experiment ‘were set simultaneously, at Clermont-Ferrand in France and at Gersfeld in Germany. There were no GGermans at Clermont-Ferrand, and no Frenchmen at Gersfeld. But in a sense the two flelds were in competition. The results of the two shows are re- markably different. The French gliders scored records in terms of minutes, the German gliders in terms of hours. Ever since the writing of the armi- stice, by the terms of which Germany was forbidden to make any air ma- chines with motors, the sclentists of that country have been busy in seeret vpon a motorless piane, following in the lines laid down by Lilienthal, a German, who but for his untimely death In the course of his experiments Sunday..1yr., $8.40; 1 mo., T0¢; v 3 would doubtless have been one of the pioneers of practical aviation. In France as well some work has been done, but plainly not comparable with that done east of the Rhine. N ‘What does it all mean? Revolution in flying? Possibly. It is idle to dep- recate the glider as merely a scientific toy. That term has been too often ap- plied in the past to machines that have proved to be of the greatest practical use. It was given doubtless to the steam engine, as it was definitely given to the telephone. A ‘“toy” that can maintain itself for over three hours in the air without an ounce of | self-contained power is to be regarded as decidedly practical. Considering that the best that has been demonstrated at Clermont-Fer- rand is a flight of only a few minutes, it is obvious that the German gliders have been brought to a remarkable point of development. Can they be put to practical use? Can they be used in any airs. or sent to given objectives? Can they fly over fixed routes, what- ever the direction of the wind? Thesec are vital questions that eventually must be answered. Meanwhile, it is plain that Germany has gained a big advantage in the development of a machine that is wholly self-propulsive in favoring airs and, if given' an auxiliary engine, may prove to be the solution of long-distance flight. The demonstrations at Gersfeld prove anew that ‘‘necessity Is the mother of invention.” Hampered by the treaty, the Teuton scientists sought a way around its restrictions. Apparently they have found it. There is occasion in this matter for the in- tense chagrin felt in France and the alarm felt in all the allied countries {and the astonishment felt throughout the world. { —_————— i An Inherent Issue. i In their reply to the proposal of the {railway executives of conditions for the settlement of the strike and re- sumption of full service, the repre- sentatives of the striking shopmen made the following statement: The question of the standing of the men on strike as ratlroad employes was not an issue until injected by the railroad managements, and only be- came an issue when the railroad man- agements refused the terms of agree- ment proposed by President Harding. This begs the whole question. For seniority became automatically an is- sue the moment the shopmen walked ! gther view is taken of regular employ- ment. in any industry, the strike be- comes virtually authorized by the em- ployer as a means of coercing him into concessions. To waive seniority is to declare that employes have an established right lcnlle(‘\i\’el)’ to quit work without for- {teiting anything that may have been gained through loyal, continuous serv- ice. If seniority did not become a vital issue at the moment of striking its value would be destroyed. 1f the principle should be adopted in American labor relations that sentor- ity is not forfeited when a strike call lis obeyed it may directly follow that seniority will be abandoned in the in- dustries in which it has become a practice. For seniority is founded upon continuous service, as a means of keeping men faithfully at work, an In- ducement to abide by rules and to con- | tribute to and share In the prosperity of the employer and to gain the bene- fits of promotion rights and retention status at times of slack business, when reduction of force is imperative. Why should seniority prevail only | for the benefit of those who claim the right to walk out of the shop for any { grievance, real or imagined, to walk {back again whenever it may suit them? Such a system would be unfair {to those who do not strike and those {who are hired to carry on the work in place of those who quit. There is more at stake in this present case than i the resumption of full rallroad service, land the issue was not interjected after | the strike began. It was there at the start, inherent in the situation that existed when the strike call sounded. It inheres in every strike in an industry organized upon the senior- ity principle, which prevails today practically throughout American bust- ness. —_——————— Theaters may be short of coal.

Tt is suggested that Congress sit from immediately after election day. to the beginning of the short session in December. Why should it not sit also during the two weeks in December which are usually allotted to the holi- day season? Why not “pass up” all but Christmas day this year? The short session is usually too short for the business in hand. The appropriation bills are all marked ‘must,” and yet often have to fight their way. Other measures are brought up end pressed upon atten- tion. ‘The appropriation bills require more time now than ever before. They are much larger than hitherto, and carry a greater variety of items. Economy is more than & cry. It is a necessity. The people will stand for an adequate support of the government, but are in- terested in the figures.

We all know that our obliga- tionis are heavy, and nobody wants to shirk them, but it is importani that the whole story in dollars and cents should be told fully and properly while the bills are under scrutiny and dis- cuzsion in Congress. The session cannot be extended. The two gavels under the law come down for the last time March 4 at noon. Mr. Coolidge. Vice President Coolidge is returning from his visit to the Pacific coast, and will soon be in harness here again. * Maybe he will have something of in- terest and value to tell the President about conditions, political and other, in that section of the Union. He did not go with any such object in view, but to fill engagements, and take his first look at the far west. But while on his travels he has met many persons of note, participated in many functions of importance, and en- joyed many opportunities for com- merce with politicians, professional men and business men. In this way he must have gotten a line on things in territory likely to play an influen- tial part in this year's stirring cam- paign. i In politics, it is hardly necessary to say, Mr. Coolidge knows his way around. He learned his trade in @ state where politics is played up to the hilt and almost continuously. Un- til recently, a governor was elected in Massachusetts every year. One cam- paign tread upon another's heels, so fast they followed. So, when Mr. Coolidge foregathers with the cabinet, he should be able to tell all and sundry about what the peo- Dle of the great west are talking about, and express an opinion about what they are likely to do when they go to the polls in November. He will find, we may all be sure, a most attentive audience. The Campaign. The campaign will be short. Six weeks will cover it, even in the most hotly contested stat Short, but not sweet. Its character may be forecast from the debates in the Senate. Warm exchanges there have been taking place for weeks, and | probably will continue until the ses sion’s end. Whether or not to welcome this is & question. It is not edifying to hear men in high position charged with im- portant duties characterize one an- other's performances in strong lan- guage, and even impugn one another's {motives. Nor is it informing. It does I not assist in the shaping of right judg- ments, nor in the right marking of ballots. Still, it tends to wake things up; to draw crowds; to promote discussion among the rank end file. And, any- how, as a good deal of it is stage play. not intended to do, and not doing, real damage to established reputations, it can be forgiven as a sort of entertain- ment. The country will be canvassed from ocean to ocean. Even in the lower south, where the republicans seldom make a sign worthy of note in cam- paign years, the democrats here and there will be challenged this year. In Texas, for an instance, where for a long time republicans were as scarce as democrats in Pennsylvania, the re- publicans have nominated a state ticket and a candidate for United States senator, and will ask for votes for them in November. There will be something doing everywhere. —— | Strikers who have made arrange- ments to go back to work are jubilant.

Just what has become of all these graduates, who, in June, had fond hopes of rapidly carving a name for themselves in the world's affairs? How many of 1them have fallen by the wayside, dis: couraged and disheartened by the rebuffs they received when seeking employment—refusals of work be- cause of lack of experience? Let us not judge too harshly because of their, know-it-all manner—time will mellow that fault. Let us, on the other hand, give them a friendly pat op the shoulder, a word of encourage- ment—or, better still, stretch our or- ganization a little bit that we may find a place for them to work. They may, after all, in time, prove to be a valuable addition to our force. ERE Y one of those odd twists of fate that sometimes happen, two men, both of whom have achieved prom- inence, were first thrown together through an automobile accident. George Harvey, at president ambas- sador to the court of St. James, a number of years ago was the editor of Harper's. During a week end journey he was motoring to Atlantic City. The car in which he was riding barely escaped being dashed to pieces through the quick thinking of the chauffeur, who ran it from the road- way to a bank adjoining the road. Editor Harvey was thrown out and suffered severe injuries. Frederick 1. Thompson, then a newspaper own- er, at present a commissioner of the United States Shipping Board, barely escaped the same fate. This was the first time that these two men, Who were afterward to occupy prominent positions In public affairs, had ever met. While an occasional letter has been exchanged, the two men who have achieved renown met since that time. Commissioner Thompson, who is sailing for Europe this month, is not only making the trip in the interest of the Shipping Board, but also for the purpose of renewing his acquaintance with Am- bassador Harvey *ox % x HAT the radio activities have passed the “craze” stage and are now firmly Intrenched as one of the necessities of American life i3 best evidenced by the action of Chairman Lasker of the United States Shipping Board, who has given directions that the glant steamer Leviathan, which made so many trips during the late war, Is to be fully equipped with radio sets. In fact, every first class statercom, numbering 600, is to have its own individual instrument. This will permit the traveler to sit in his |or her stateroom and communicate directly with office or home. The common belief is that the Leviathan is a German-built ship. Such is er- roneous, as there are only two pleces of mechanism aboard this giant liner ship having been built in British shipyards. EDITORIAL DIGEST Trouble With “Shuffiin’ Phil” Mental Rather Than Moral. Expulsion of “Shuffiin’ Phil” Doug- las from the ranks of organized base ball was indorsed unanimously and warmly when the initial announce- ment was made. There were paeans of praise for John J. McGraw and for High Commissioner Judge Landis for their action In keeping the game clean. Since then, however, a note ot wonder has developed in the discus- sion. [Editors, rather, are question- 50 great as it was made to seem in the initlal proclamations. A decided difference is seen between the big pitcher’s action and that of men who actually betrayed their birthright for a mess of pottage. Typical of the new point of view s the utterance of the Pittsburgh Lead- er, which, asking whether, after all, it 'was not “just a brainstorm.” sug- gests that “L2 is more to be censured for getting drunk than for what he did when muddled by the effects of alcohol mixed with powerful narcotic It is all very well to strike a ru nobody conscientiously concerned in|nhighly moral attitude and summarily | condemn the man who has fallen overboard, but if the rule against drunkenness had been followed with- out discrimination the New York team would not have its present membership. He is not the only member of the team that has been in the public eye for what is not sanctioned by law and common de- cency. It, of course, Is “orookedness doesn't pay,” as the Day ton News expressed it becaus; “Douglas was even more stupid than others, because he had an example be- fore himi that should have served to keep him straight” And the very fact that he had been “forgiven car- Iler 1apses from the road of sobrie and the straight and narrow way should have been a lesson to him. in he view of the Norfolk Ledger Di patch, but “being what they call rum- dumb’ from his debauch, not in po: session of a normal mind, it is not surprising that he wanted to dodge the issue and go fishing, especlally if some obliging pennant contender would be willing to pay him money to do so.” But the Springfleld Union is inclined to Insist that the expulsion “gdds another to the convincing dem- onstrations recently given of the earnest endeavors of the magnates of the game to Insure unimpeachable honesty in the sport and thereby jus- tify the support that is given to it by the tens of thousands of followers.” After all, “the trouble seems to be as much mental as moral,” the New York Post asserts, and it believes that the incident suggests that Judge Lan- dis “might hasten the cleaning up of base ball by forcing all candidates for the big league to pass Binet-Simon tests graded for age sixteen. John McGraw is being complimented for promptly putting Douglas down and out. As a matter of fact, John, being brighter than the average, saw a chance to be right and popular at the same time.” While “base ball is_the better” for the expulsion, the New York Evening World feels certain that the management “should tell the whole story. The obligation of si- lence to other players and other teams cannot compare with the obligation to tell the whole truth to the support- ers of the sport” However, no mat- fer what revelations are to come, the Scranton Times is convinced that “it gserved Douglas right” and that “it would be & good thing for the game if fans refused to support teams in- sulting them by playing Douglas or other players who have been banned from organized base ball by crooked work.’ 5 The “wonder is that there are not ‘more players bought and more games sold,” the Binghampton Press sug- gests, because “these men work for Mmoney, and their working years are soon gone. raded about from club to club, with their services auctioned oft to the highest bidder, they have no incentive to loyalty. The revelation “must have a very disquieting effect upon the base ball public,” the Waterbury Republican thinks, because “if such cases co! tinue to come to light, what confi- dence will it be possible for the fans to have in the game?” Somewhat similar is the conviction of the Phil: delphia Bulletin, which points out, in nd‘u.m. that, while “attendance at Ge es i8 running at low fig- rés, attendance on amatéeur and semi- | professional ball games is greater than it ever has been.

In the midst of so much restlessness there is fnescapable the impression of the persistent stirring of an under- current of radicalism. The feeling is almost as. un-American as is the af- fliction, but is none the less convinc- ing for that reason. For the feeling is by reaction to the fact.
