As to labor, the New York public has also had ite opportunities for observation. It knows that labor ie always ready to demand the protection of public laws, to make full use of public approval end support. It knows all that labor expec But what about the guar- ‘eee that Jabor is willing to give? Has the public much reason at the present moment to believe the unions really caro what happens to it—whether it walks or rides, keeps a job or loses it, eats or starves? “Each for himself.” That is what managers on the one hand and men on the other have collectively cast in the face of the public. So be it. Only—the public cannot afford to be a fool. It, too, must adopt the policy to the letter. Let the corporations and the unions refuse to arbitrate. Let them fight it out at the public expense, Let them demonstrate to| « standstill. | Meanwhile the public will prepare @ demonstration of its own, | It will show as it has never shown before where ultimate power lies. | It will put upon its etatute books laws which men and managers must | obey. It will protect its public utilities once and for all from mis-| handling or interruption. It will assert ite rights and its power to enforce them in a way no corporation manager and no union leader! can ever again mistake. « All this the public will do if it is roused to action. And one of, the ‘surest ways to rouse it is to go too far in inflicting unjust and} utterly undeserved loss and suffering upon the 5,000,000 people of the| City of New York. | SS il | In his “Report to Voters” Gov.

T IS not uninteresting to recall that in September, 1683, a Turkish army 200,000 strong was besieging Vienna, from which an Aus- trian Emperor had departed with more haste than dignity. The Turks, invited by the Hungarians to assist in the job of ousting the Emperor Leopold, had marched through Austria to the gates of the capital, while Europe looked on aghast. The garrison— mostly citizens and students—saw no way of averting a triumphal @tzy. There would have been one had not the Grand Vizier in com- ‘mand of the Ottoman forces chanced to be a grasping person who hated the idea of sharing the prospective loot with his soldiers. He hesitated to order a final assault—which gave time for Sobieski, the Polish King, to get in touch with the Imperial armies.
