Cay b') ' THE POWER OF THE TRUST, There is no evidence that the strike of the anthracite @0al miners is to-day any nearer to its end than it was yesterday. The mission of Gov. Stone to the great mag- nate of the coal industry has been as futile as the earlier efforts of the National Civic Federation. The coal-road presidents, who know what they are talking about, say ‘that there will not be any interference from any source ‘and that all talk about a 10 per cent.

The conditions of gambling in this city are too flagrant to be ignored and Commissioner Partridge has ‘een compelled to notice them. In addition to the trans- fors in the Tenderloin Precinct he has called for full and complete reports from the captain and Inspector of the gambling-house district and has instructed Capt. Titus to employ the resources of the detective staff to obtain evidence. He will have the support of the District-At- torney’s office, and altogether there is a great show of zeal and activity in the department. All this {s highly gratifying and we hope that {t will Iéad to practical results. At the same time we remem- ber having heard very much the same things on former pecasions without any practical results materializing. If Col. Partridge is able to get evidence now why has ‘he not gotten it before? If he has been unable to get ie before how is he going to get it now? Transfers ‘awd-shake-ups have heen tried and they are evidently fnadequate. Captains come and captains go, but the System runs on forever. Col. Partridge himself admits that he is hampered by his lack of authority over the captains, that he can merely bring charges and try them, and in the nbsence of a power of removal the captains have the whip hand of him. This is the real secret of the strengin of the gambling combination; it can be weakened only by strengthening the hands of the Commissioner. But in the meanwhile it will not do for the authorities to surrender to the law- Yreakors. The existing conditions cannot be permitted to continue, and an anti-gambling crusade from Police Headquarters can do no harm and may do much good.
