From early indications it does not appear that the meeting of the min- ers’ executive board at indianapolis is inclined to give favorable considera- tion to the proposition put forth by President Wilson or that it will call the officials of the minérs’ union have been calied for Saturday of this week. There ecan’ be no question but what the officials of the miners’ union has the authority to stop the strike just z much as they have to start it for it does not appear that the strike has been called as the result of the voie of the miners themselves. And the fact that the leaders are not favorable to calling the strike off does not nec- essarily mean that such would be dise closed if the miners had a chance te ballot thereom. The session of the exe young vet. Secretary of Labor Wil- son. who was at onme time an official in the miner: union, has stated that: e that & v action on the president's communication and warn-| ing will be delayed until the last minute. But even if there ig a refusal to re- tives iy scind, a defiance of president and| country, the government autherities | should, as the result of their meet- | ings, have their plan of action so well mapped out by this time that they can face such a situation as develops. Naturally the cabinet meeting was unwilling to divulge its intended ac- tion otherwise than to that the mines will be kept open and operating | if the strike is carried out. and in its| determination there is no question but what the government has the backing We have gotten is time to put an unjustifiable and unlaw- ful heldups. And if there has got to be 2 showdown it might just as well come now as any other time. to such SHOULD BE PROTECTED. H Dye manufacturers in this country appear to be @ bit' worried over the situation that they face. Business has to a certain extent been vesumed | this and other allied | ust as soon as the peace treaty is ratified it is to be expected | that the business will show a marked increase and in connectlon therewith, even as was the case before the war, it can be expected that there will be much trade in the German made dyes. When the war opened we were to a large extent dependent upon Germany for dyes and many of our chemical It was apparent that this source of supply would be cut off and there was a healthy scramble to set in motion the machinery that would provide home made dyes in sufficient quantity and in the proper quality to meet the domestic demand. There was no ques- tien but what it could be done. We had the brains, the money and the in- clination, but it was tife time in wh hg to meet the situation that hothered, for the industry had been frightfully neglected. It was considered that German goods were so good and| cheap that it would not pay to try to compete with them. Necessity, however, changed the situation and after large expenditures ! and diligent experiments we have got- ten to the point here we can pro- duce practically all the dyes that we need of satisfactory quali and are at the same time able to export a cer- tain amount. After the struggle to build up the industry, which will, if encouraged, be an important one, it is quite natural that those who have met the nation’s needs in time of stress should seek legislation that will pro- tect them from the foreign product. The situation has been so apparent that it ought to have been taken care of long ago but thus far the protec- tion that is needed has not been pro- vided. SLACK FILLED PACKAGES. Many 2re there who will be inter- ested in the outcome of the move for an amendment to the pure food law that would prohibit the use of what are called “slack-filled” packages and those of deceptive appearance. This is apparently ainfed at the practice of placing goods before the public in ! large containers for the purpose of selling that paiticular brand or giving the purchaser the impression that the | package is full and contains more than others when as a matter of fact such is net the case and the buyer doesn’t find it out until some time later. There are of course certain dealers who provide containers that hold more than is placed therein, the idea being that as conditions changed larger or smaller quantities of the goods would be placed therein for the same amount of monev. By such a practice there was a variation in the amount of goods obtained rather than a fluctua- tion in the price of a stipulated amount. But it is evident, however, that it is grossly unfair to the buyer to be confronted with a package that might hold a pound and a quarter to pound and a half when as a matter of fact it only contains a pound. { Such cases may not be a_swindle, | | fluence is manifested to such an ex- jtent that those who are refusing diers did percentage of discharges doesn’t tell | monthly, and a tri} through on duri ed after the emergency ment bill has been passed over president’s veto, the cellar supplies are going to be more valuable than ever. after drinking home made York than did at the pre: }it looks as if Incerest was waning as quickly everi as i: dul amongst these who arc allowed to vote provided there is furnished in the| package all that it is claimed, but it} nevertheless is deceiving from the standpoint of appearances and leans toward unfair practices. Those who are dealing straightforwardly with the consumer have good reason to sup- port legislation that is aimed at those who are engaged In in unfair compe- tition, and certainly -the opposition that comes from those who are en- deavoring to pull the wool over the eyes of the buyer is not entitled to very much consideration. The public is entitled to all the protection that it can get in matters of this kind. THE PROPER MOVE. As long as they were determined not to compiy with the demands eof the striking longshoremen, whose unjusti- fied strike has caused stagnation in water transportation in New York for the past three weeks, there remained nothing else for the ship owners and the shipping board of the United States to do but to,declare’ that any labor that could be hired would be used henceforth for the purpose of | unloading and loading ships and over- coming the deplorable situation, which already involves large losses: Every reasonable means has been used to bring about an adjustment. Many of th& union werkers have al- ready returned to their duties and are aiding in relieving the situation, bu there is a fizht amongst the longshore- men themselves in which the red in- to work under the new rate, because it did not amount to what they expected, are as ready to fight and assault their union brothers whe are working as they would be to tackle strikebreak- ers. Patience enough has been manifest- ed in endeavoring to straighten out the tangle. Business cannot be allowed to-go to pieces, shins cannot be kept tied at their piers, foodstuffs cannot be allowed to rot ard mail cannot be per- mitted to go undglivered just be- cause a certain nulnber of - piermen have decided to take a vacation until they can get what they demand. The strikers are gradually returning but there are still enough out to handicap transportation badiy. Such being the case and they refuse to work there is certainly justification for employing any who are willing to do so at the same pay that the others have re- fused. And workers under such condi- i tions are eutitled to the adequate pro- taction w SURPLUS CLERKS. A matter to which due should be given by thne administration is that which concerns the large num- attention of clerks that are maintained in Washington where they were called in order to handie the business in con- nection with the war but which has undergone a decided decline without affecting the number of em- greatly ploye: 1t is pointed out that since the signing of the armistice nearly a year 2go the war department has dis- charged 92 per cent. of ihe enlisted men. These were the men who were called to fight and who were paid $30 a month, but in the same time only 32 per cent. of the army of clerks in “Washingto® have been discharged, these cierks being the ones who stay- ed at home and received in all proba- a week more than the sol- in a month. But even that bility in the whole story for it is declared that almost as fast as the clerks are dis charged from one bureau they are placed by the civil service commission with another. ch might excite no comment if the | fighting was going on and it was nec- essity to fill shortages in various bu- reaus in order to take care of war work, but that isn't the case for the same force of clerks is being main- tained to take care of mailing 20,000 allowances a month to soldiers as did the work of getting out 2,000,000 the bu- reaus shows that a large number of the clerks being kept have nothing to do. Whatever help is needed in carrying the government’s business should be provided, but where the objection comes in is where the help required an emergency is being retain- is over and no worlk for them to do. With re is the frequent calls for economy in ap- propriations attention ought to be turned in this direction long enough to overcome the apparent waste. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Youll excuse me if I hurry.om, won't you. I am extremely busy,” she said leaving me. before I had. time. to ask her to coms to see me. I am rather glad now that I didn't ask her, because she was snippy in her manner, and the icy quality of her voice reminded me af the last time she spoke to me in New York a year ago when we were both waiting to sail. 1 fear she has that unfortunate meag- erness of soul that leads to remem- bering and magniying small griev ances.

IN THE DAY’'S NEWS Switzerland’s Army. In connection with the frequent agitation for universal training in the United States, it is_ interesting to study the systems of other countries where such service has been testd. The National Geographic Society has issued a bulletin concerning the citizen army of Switzerland, based on a communication to The Society, which says. “Universal compulsory military ser- vice in Switzerland dates from 1874, when the old system of requiring eacn canton to raise an allotment or three men for every hundred -men of its population was done away with, and the system oi requiring every abie- bodied man to meet ior training was substituted. The new system worked with very little trouble or friction from the beginning, and the Swiss people are very proud of their citizen army. “In its fundamentals the idea of the citizen soldier laid down by the man who framed the Constitution of the United States is tne same as that followed in the organization.of the Swiss army. The Swiss do in prac- tice what’we do in- theory. Ivery able-bodied man in America is sup- posed to be a member of the militia, and yet how few have ever shouldersd a gun or marched in company for- mation? “The Swiss boy at the age of ten, is put into the gymnastic class at school, and begins learning the ele- ments of the soldier drill on the school house playground Long before he is old enough to be called upon for ser- vice he has learned to do the manual exercises and to go through much of the drill that afterward fits him for a soldier. “When a boy reaches 17 years he is lmble to service—a liabifity which | continues until he is 50 years of ‘age. “ven after that he may be liakle, if s any other army as baker, verterin: or otherwis “Yet with all this universal training, the only people in Switzerland whno make arms an exclusive profession are the Commander-in-Chief, selected by ihe Federal Assembly, and the General Sta. These form the brains of the army. The rank and file belong to the cantons, jusi as the militia do to the States in this country. “Entrenched behind its native rocks, the citizen army of Switzeriand con- tais every element of the nation. The man of wealth and the peasant are found shoulder iv snowder. No man is compelled to spend the crucial vears of his life away from home in the army, ang yet every man is re- quired to contribute his share to that army’s mainteannce and the nation’s safety. “At the age of 20 every able-bodied Swiss youth becames a member of the ‘Auszug’ anq every one who lacks the neceskary qualifications regrets that he is unable te cooperate with other young defenders of his country. Dur- ing the first year of liability he must serve 75 days or more; and 11 days for each successive year he is called to the standard. It is no excuse that he has brothers already in the army, or that he has a wiZ¥~ed mother de- pendent upon him. The burden of preparedness spread over a nation, becomes no onerous task for any one, and the average - young man in Switzerland looks upon this time spent in training camps as a pleas- ureable vacation, profitable to the safety of his country. “Service in the Auszug,’ or Elits,’ continues until the citizen reaches the age of 32. Thereafter he passes into what is known as the ‘Landwehr’ or First Reserve, where he remains until he has completed his 44th year. He must give in that time nine days of surgeon, belongs to the ‘Landwehr’ After he has passeq 44 he goes into the ‘Land- sturm,’ or Second rve, ‘where he stays until he is 50, and even béjond that if national-necessity calls him. “At the vanious stages in his ca- reer proper ‘exemptions become the lot of the soldier.

The Polish government is compil- ing the story of the atrocities commit- ted under the bolshevik reign in the city of Minsk, now occupied by the Poles. The latest, brought by an American Red Cross worker who has just returned from a relief assignment in that newly occupied city, concerns the murder of a woman hospital as- sistant who was rash enough to ex- press the hope that conditions would improve when the town fell to the Poles. i The director of the hospital in ques- tion, smarting under an ill-deserved rebuke administered to him by a surly official of the Red regime, warned the latter that the arrival of the Poles would" bring a change for the better. For this he was depotred to Smolensk. His woman assistant, who ventured a little further in expressing her opin- jon, was shot into a grave on the dawn before the taking of the city by the | Polish army. i When visited by workers of the American Red Cross Commission o Poland. the hospitals and orphan- ages of the city were found in such pressing need of food that many of them had been obliged to close. One home for war orphans had been with- | out so much.as a crust of bread for, more than a week. Many others had suffered similar privations. According | lo renoits of investizations, only out-| i side aid can rescue these people from the chaos of terror and suffering in which they are submerged. Unclaimed | Looking for Paronts of Children. Names and faces of streams of re- turning refuzees are being eagerly scanned by Red Cross workers in every city in Peland each day in search for the parents of ten thousand unclaimed children, lost in the chaos of the Ger- man drive of 1918. Every day, from ameng the starved ranks of the wanderers, some worn or brokef woman father clasps: the thin waife from whom they were, mercilessly torn almost three years ago—a reunion that takes place as often as not in some Red Cross refugee station. There are thousands who will | never be claimed, for their parents, | driven away when the Germans came, found only temporary safety in Rus- ! sia, where they were caught in the | we bof anarchy and suffered ‘death in ! the Gays of Russian terror. | All of the children are now under the care of the American Red Cross | and such supplies as are available have | been devoted to their needs. But for the thousands who will never again be united with their parents. more than temporary aid is needed. Some permanent institutional scheme will have to be devised, but this must wait more normal times than the present. Unless rescued from actual starva- tion and nakedness and mothered by the outside world until they are strong again, these children will bear the marks of war for the rest of their lives. Anaemia, rickets, tuberculosis and kindred diseases, fast becoming chronfe, will forever handicap them.

The Courant venturers to say that the loss will 'be more than balanced by the gain in- volved in ceasing to be condemned and disliked by the whole great body of travelers by automobile. It seems that the ferry carries foot passengers across for three cents each and the toll by the bridge will be five cents for foot passengers. The idea is inot that foot passengers will not walk a half-mile out of their way to pay two extra cents. This is very likely in the case of those who are not run oves at the deadly grade crossing which all must use to reach the ferry boats. . It is safe o assume that cvery au- tomobile will take the bridge. This will avoid the crossing and the delay and the risk. It is assumed by The Day that the automobiles pay about a third of the receipts of the boats and the profits can stand that detline and still be worth having.

There are some dealers who buy the cheapest makes and place their own fictitious name on the instrument, eliminating the manufacturers’ names. This is usually done so that the dealers may hide its small ;alue and place their own price or the instruments. This method has been used for years on pianos and now unscrupulous dealers are doing the same thing with phonographs. - When buying your PHONOGRAP H or PIANO insist on seeing the maker’s name.
