One of the most active building periods on record, steel and textile mills expanding, almost unprecedented demand for competent labor are some of the present claims on which the depart- ment bases its optimism. Wave increases in the steel industry are called “only one indication out of many that production is ready to boom.” “Relieve business from the threat of the coat and rail strikes and there would be no limit to its expansion within a month.” Pennsylvania is one of the States to which the skies always look rosiest in the dawn of a high ” tariff “Nevertheless, the whole country joins Pennsyl- vania in appeal for relief “from the threat of the coal and rail strikes.” Why in the name of reason and common sense should industry have to lie strangled and stricken whenever capital and labor in certain of the larger fields are working out new adjustments? Why should months of depression and missry for the whole country be the price of arriving at economic justice in one of the basic industries? Stagnation and suffering, tmmense losses in production, blasted hopes of prosperity for millions—merely because comparatively small groups cannot adjust their differences without taking it out on the many who are utterly inno- cent of wronging anybody! And the consequent burdens coming back in the long run to rest equally on the shoulders of those who sought to benefit themselves by stop- ping production! Civilization, at the point to which the people of the United States have progressed, ought 10 be capable of evolving some plan by which work- ers and employers in great public service indus- tries can come to agreement without periodically crippling the entire country, themselves included. People in Pennsylvania or any other State ought to be once and for all delivered from the humiliation of having to beg for “relief from coal and rail strikes.” The thing is barbarous SUBWAY BREAKDOWNS. NTERRUPTIONS in the operation of subway trains and equipment have multiplied +o seriously in recent months that it is no wonder the travelling public is becoming somewhat apprehensive. Our subway system as a whole is an extremely intricate mechanism. For years it has been worked on an overload. (Questions a good many patrons are beginning to ask themselves and their neighbors run something like unis Is the subway wearing out’ Is the system running down from lack of adequate replace- ment in advance of accidents? Between the poli- ticians on one hand and the 20 per cent. divi- dend milkers on the other, are we likély to go from bad to worse? At the moment, the Transit Commission could render no greater service to the public than to send competent engineers into the subways to make investigation of the whole equipment, find the weak spots where breakdowns are most likely to occur and order repairs and renovations in advance. Then tell the public the whole truth of what may be expected Many an industrial plant and railroad has been built over and renewed time after time with- out dislocating traffic. The worn parts afe di carded and the whole property kept in condi- tion, literally “better than new” and constantly improving. That is what New York has a right to expect. Meantime, New York must use.the subwavs. The patrons on their part can do no better than to cultivate coolness and calmness in trying situ- ations. No one has been killed by recent subway accidents. What injuries there have been re- sulted largely from panic. Keep cool and help keep yortr neighbors calm. PHOTOGRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY. UTOBIOGRAPHIES of several women fa- mous for beauty as well as for other attainments are appearing in magazines this summer. Interesting features in these articles are illustrations from photographs taken years ago. This pictorial biography seems to be a real test of feminine self-confidence ia the permanency of beauty and charm. Matched with modern costumes and modern photography, the pictures present a striking contrast. A girl flipping the pages in the subway commented to her com- panion: “Doesn’t she look funny?” The de- scription isn't precise, but it carries the idea, She—any one of them—was an acknowledged beauty then—and now. But-viewed by eyes trained to the styles of the day. the piled up hair, the full-length skirt, big sleeves. tight lacing and other features do look odd. The beauty would hardly be recognized as such if she appeared in that garb to-day. It takes courage and assurance to submit to the test of photographic biography. A genera- tion hence it will take no less courage for the mature beauty of 1950 to reveal pictures of flapperishly bobbed hair to a public that will call it “funny.” THE WEEK. UTUMN WEATHER is already with us and that, plus the insolent “no arbitration” ultimatum by President Lewis of the United Mine Workers, helps to account for the sudden CONCERN in CONGRESS over the COAL STRIKE. Unfortunately the heat of a leg- islative brainstorm will not keep up the steam in radi- ators.

Brooklyn service has reached the LIMIT OF CROWDING, the Transit Commission evidently believes. The TARIFF has gone to conference and many Re Publicans hope it will stay there. One tariff bene fictary, the United States Steel, raised wages 20 per cent. and other companies followed suit.

To the Editor of The venting World: On Aug. 22 The Evening World published an article to the effect that I was attempting to evade subpoena service before the Kings County Grand Jury and that I had been “chased” all over the State to obtain service. Also, that when I appeared before the Grand Jury my answers were evasive and weak, showing In- competence, or worse, In order that you may be reassured as to my Integrity in this matter, al- low me to say that I did not in any way attempt to evade service of a subpoena before the Grand Jury. 1 give you my word of honor that, on the contrary, immediately I was in- formed that my testimony was need- ed I telephaned to the District Attor- ney and placed myself at his disposal and have been at his disposal ever since. The unpleasant insinuations with regard to my testimony before the Grand Jury are absolutely not in ac- cord with the facts, as reference to the stenographer’s notes will confirm, Tam ready and willing at all times to answer any questions and give all in- formation in fullest detafl in regard to my work in the Department of arkets, and this applies to all mat- ters which have come to my attention in the department. I believe you are aware, and, !f not, your records will show, that for some years past I have worked very hard to bring about market conditions which would be of great benefit to the masses of the people, and my idea in having accepted the apbointment of Deputy Market Commissioner was simply to carry on this work, 1 thought the position, with the aid of the press, would afford an excellent opportunity of forwarding the work. In conversation with ane of your editors this morning I was informed that in your entire investigation of the street markets in the City of New York you had found nothing discredit- able to me, Unfortunately the article to which I refer hardly reflects that statement Believing that The Evening World desires to be perfectly fair will give equal promin rticle which will place me in th same light as you have done in our interview.

We know that th police depatrment takes enough care of the peddlers without the super- visors; furthermore, we appeal to the city administration that the present supervisors, together with assistants be immediately taken off from the markets, because it is a fact that we are not being treated fairly, and we were abused from the beginning since the markets were organized. All our complaints were disregarded wherever we went to ask for justice, therefore, we wish that the Civil Service Com- mission object to the present super- visors being eligible to the test, and we do not want any political people interfering in this test.

GETTING OUT OF THE ROUGH. The game of golf is so much played nowadays by rich and not rich that its many lessons will be understood by most readers, It is needless to talk of the concentration and the self- mastery necessary to play it. Any old gentleman in a swivel chair or any young gentleman with a pen behind his ear will tell you all about that, as long as you will listen to him. They will also tell you volubly about the splendid shots they have made and how wonderfully they have got out of the rough from time to time. For the benefit of non-golfers we will explain that the rough is the long grass on either side of the short grass which is called the fairway. It is hard to see a ball in the rough and harder to hit it so that it will come ont. ; Brilliant shots sometimes take a ball clear out of this long grass and put it very near the green, whose little. flag in a cup is the place where every golfer wants his ball to land in the fewest possible strokes. So the followers of the game will boast about these shots, and tell you how people admired them, and how they saved a game by a stroke that seemed impossible, and what the professional said when he heard about it. The same lind of talk is indulged in by people who get out of any kind of trouble without as much difficulty as they expected to have. : . That sort of thing always excites admiration. But it is worth while to remember that good golfers don’t get into the rough very much, Not one of them cares about those brilliant shots, which too often get them into deeper trouble than they were in be- ore, The careful golfer stays on the fairway, where he can easily hit the ball. He does that by learning to drive it straight, which is much more important than learning to get out of the rough. Life is very much the same way, kind readers. Your ability to get out of trouble may excite favorable comment, but your ability to keep from getting into trouble will do very much more for you. You will notice that the important men in this country keep ont of the rough most of the time. } are important.
