By T Seventh Are ted Press Bervice Franctece Special Represe on re New York offios rbune I Dollars Ascendant THE Adamson case the United States supreme cc asserted that men engaged in public service neces sarily surrendered the right to strike. The court stated that such workers were as soldiers, obligated to serve the public regardless as to the justness, or adequacy, of their wage. But in the Eastern Texas railroad case the same court avers that a railroad serving the public is not obligated to continue on the job, but “if it at any time develops with reasonable certainty that future operations must be at a loss the company may discontinue operations, and get what it can out of the property by dismantling the The dollar may strike any time it desires, regardless of whether or not its strike is against public interest, but the worker in public service may not strike, even tho he be receiving a wage below his actual family needs. The supreme court of these United States may consider this good law, but most of us consider it injustice. Simpletons in Sport et are going to bar Bill Tilden, the greatest tennis player of all time, from the amateur game because “he trades on what he knows.” In other words, -Bill writes about tennis for the newspapers at a price, the while he plays tennis as an amateur for cups and Saucers and things. His offense lies in his acceptance of pay for his writings and the eminent and discriminating judicial minds at the head of that branch of sports look on such conduct as professionalism. It is silly enough to invite guffaws, Amateur sport, Which is sport without pay, does not bring its devotees their living. On the contrary, it makes them pay heavily for the privilege of being amateurs, Hence, they must have incomes from other sources—they must work if they will “trade on what they know,” as that is about they have no inherited wealth. If they work, it naturally follows that they will “trade on what they know,” as that is about the only way, outside of banditry or bogus oil stock, that a man may get money for his living in this harsh world. Only simpletons would attempt any other method, and, come to think of it, only simpletons would Suggest or insist that a man attempt to trade on what he doesn’t know. The tennis judges seem to belong to this latter class. The Way to End War TINETEEN MILLION workers of 22 countries will be represented in a demonstration against war_next September 21. It'll be staged by the International Feder- ation of Trade unions. Demonstrations, however, will not end war. We have democracy—except in war, when we need it most. The quickest way to prevent war is to pass laws draft- factories and dollars. They could, of course, be ised” that nothing would be too good for them the war—eh, doughboys? Our China Market HINA sold America nearly 107 million dollars’ worth of goods last year, final report shows. Nearly half of this money was for silk. We also made huge sales to China. Our foreign trade future, both imports and exports, is in Latin America and the Orient, rather than Europe. In both markets we'll encounter sharp European compe- tition. The young man who expects to “take up” foreign trade should study at least three languages— Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese.

For here are royal battles where excitement grows intense, when youngsters in Seattle schools are having track events. I saw them run their races, and the other things they're in; and stamped upon their faces was the eager will to win. There wasn't any slumping, and they gave the game their best; in throwing, running, jumping, each one tried to beat the rest. And if you saw them running—running bard, with all their might —you'd see no need of gunning for a more exciting sight. Their eagerness would get you; it would make your pulses beat; and I'd be glad to bet yousyou would find it quite a treat, And where the kids were meeting, when they ran the other day, a boy who's been competing there was overhenrd to say, “Your mother didn't see you?
