THE GARMENT WORKERS’ STRIKE. ERHAPS the most surprising feature of the garment workers’ strike is that the employers dared to force it in spite of public opinion and the successful, fight by the men’s clothing workers last spring. , In that strike, as in the present trouble, the ac- tion was forced by agreement-breaking employers who hoped to seize on a period of unemployment to break the union. It ended with capitulation by all but a few die-hard employers. The two unions are similarly organized. They are in close sympathy and aid each other. They have similar backgrounds of sweatshop work and wage conditions The employers in the women’s garment trade are like the employers in the men’s wear. They have a record of profiteering as bad as the profiteering of the union workers. The Amalgamated Clothing Workers won their strike. The Ladies’ Garment Workers ought to win, as a lesson to employers that they must keep contracts and agreements or forfeit public sympathy and support. ‘The way to limit armaments is to limit them, The United States has cut the debate and come to the point. THEY KNOW THE MARINES. BCRETARY DENBY’S order to the marines assigned to guard the United States mails is in itself a protection. Secretary Denby says: “There is no compromise in this battle with bandits. If two marines guarding a mail car, for example, are suddenly covered by a rob- ber, neither must hold up is hands, but both must begin shooting at once. One may get killed, but the other will get the robber and save the mai]. When our men go as guards over the mail, that mail must be delivered or there must be a marine dead at the post of duty.” . This may sound cold-blooded and heartless. It isn’t. It is life insurance for marines. Bandits know the record of the marines. They know the corps’ tradition of courage and obedience to orders. It will be a hardy robber who will try to “shoot it out” with the marines. New stylo of cordial greeting from one nation to another: “How's things? Scrap another bat- - | tleship with me?” COSTIGAN AND ENRIGHT. T IS not surprising that Police Capt. Cos decided to retire. “Honest Dan” Costigan, the Inspector name and whose deeds were twin terrors to the New York underworld, has taken his medicine under Enright. But it is too much to expect him to serve for four years more in the way he has had to serve since Enright came to power and vented his personal jealousy of a better man. Enright will have his way. from the “goat pasture.” He will get out of the department. Enrightism triumphed last Tuesday So Costigan might better go. So long as Enright and Enrightism reign in the department, “Honest Dan” is in a blind alley. Enright wins in as petty a personal quarrel as ever disgraced the police force. Enright wins. New York loses. has Costigan will go om tn tam peo ‘The Police Department has set its boliday | ead lines” anew, Merchants within the | lines are hoping they will prove more deadly | than in last year's holiday carnival of crime } NOVEMBER 11 IN FUTURE. | PONSORED by the American Legion, a bill has been introduced in Congress to Make Nov. 11 a permanent national holiday The Evening World has advocated such a holiday to include our present Thanksgiving celebration. Mr. Leon Whipple ef New York University ap- proves this recommendation and in a letter to The | Evening World gives some constructive Suggestions for observance of the day that will commend them- Selves to the sponsors of the plan. | Mr. Whipple believes the United States and, if | possible, the world should celebrate Nov. 11, Armis. | tice Da | “By devoting it to a sort of festival and memorial in honor of the advance and achieve | ments actually made in the year ending at | that moment, | | “The ideal would be that on this day the corner-stones of great charitable or social in atitutions might be laid; that the gifts and benevolences of each city be published in a kind of Grecian emulation; that medals for leroism and rewards for unselfish public ser- vice be then bestowed. Great discoveries in medicine or science might be proclaimed ’ ee ‘ x / ' ‘The winners of wide human recognttion such as the Nobol prize might be published. In every village (here are lesser but not meaner honors that could be given. “Tae day would have something even better than the fine hopeful spirit of college com- mencements—a commencement of, by and for the people—the diplomas signed by the human race, summa cum laude, “I can think of no other way in which the sacrifices that were made to bring Nov. 11, 1918, to pass can be commemorated. This is no day for tin horns or skyrockets. This year we are fortunate in the beautiful ceremony of the Unknown Soldier, But we must think as veautifully for the future, In the hearts of most of this earthly generation Nov. 11 is the ingle common anniversary, the most solemn and moving of their lives. Shall we not use the vast surce of this common human emotion to carry us on?” This letter was written on Nov, 11. It is a fitting part of “the vast surge of human emotion.” It should help the United States to “think as beautifully for the future.” A GREAT START. ECOGNIZING the intensity of popular desire in the United States for reduction of arma- ment, the Harding Administration has come to the Washington Conference with a leadership and initia- tive worthy of the Nation, Ungrudging praise is due Secretary Hughes and his advisers for a naval-reduction plan which in scope and specificness provides an inspiring start. Arthur J. Balfour, head of the British delegation said last week: “It we do not spin out the time in talk, I sce no reason why we should not finish the conference quickly, We have all come, no doubt, for work, and, although there Is a good geal to do, I am confident taat we can do it quickly. “Mr. Hughes, with his talent for making a quick beginning, will no doubt assist in ar- ranging the work so that we may get along rapidly with it.” Mr. Hughes was there Saturday with one of the quickest beginnings on record. It was so quick as to startle even Mr. Balfour. Before the conference had risen from its first sit- ting Mr. Hughes ‘had put before it, in the name ot the United States, a concrete proposal for a ten-year naval holiday, preliminary to which the three chief naval powers of the world—Great Britain, the United States and Japan—shall agree to scrap sixty six capital ships aggregating 1,878,043 tons. In this proposal the proportional sacrifices of ton- nage to be made by the three powers are carefully worked out. The sacrifice contemplated for the United States is far in excess of the losses that would be sustained by Great Britain and Japan. America backs the plan by willingness to give up most for it. Ships to te scrapped or retained by each of the three powers are specifically named, the disposition of auxiliary combat craft (submarines, airplanes, &c.) is covered, a replacement programme to follow the ten-year holiday period is outlined—in short, a detailed plan of naval reduction that the Washington Conference might have taken months to evolve is presented to it the first day it convenes, All this appeals strongly to American instinct for directness in “getting down to business.” The people of the United States were already heart and soul with the purposes of this conference. Their enthusiasm is a hundred-fold increased by the electrical start-off provided by their own Gov- ernment. This ship-scrapping proposal means a saving of* $200,000,000 to American taxpayers merely in bat tleships under construction that will not have to be completed—to say nothing of the billions of dollars of tax burden spared them by freedom from the necessity of competitive building in subsequent years. Nor is enthusiasm among the peoples of Great Britain and Japan likely to be less. They will put 1 strong pressure upon their representatives at the con ference either to agree to this much or offer bette still. To the whole spirit and purpose of this momen- tous gathering Secretary Hughes's plan came as an instant accellerator, The conference rs on a lirm road, with the way ahead mapped out and no speed limits TWICE OVERS. ee W* cannot doubl the success of the confer- ence.” --Prince Tokugawa. 66] RATHER think I'll hace my Christmas dinner at home.'’--Member of the British delegation to the Arms Conference. ee MAGNIFICENT beginning.” ~~ Senator Borah. ©6 & TICK your nose out of the door before we get away and you'll get a bullet in the face.” Common form of farewell in'New York Cily at present. 4, 1921, ~ eget From Evening World Readers What kind of Jetter do you find most readable?

We know of one man who spends at least an hour a day thinking about the shortcomings of other people in the same profession, and wondering how they get away with it. If he used half that time correcting his own shortcom- ings he would be getting away with it better himself. We cannot do much about the faults of others. We can about your physical do very little about the injustice and unfairness in the world. They are there and we are here.
