N his speech at the Syracuse Fair this week Gov. Miller said much about the duty and power of the Government to declare that “ ‘bt ited no association of individuals whatsoever, either of employers or of employed, shall be permitted to conspire entirely to stop the production of any essential article of commerce.” A wiser thing the Governor said, however, was this: “The truth is that the strike is an archaic weapon for the settlement of industrial disputes, though in the past it may have been the only available weapon, Those who engage in it and their fellows suffer most.” That's the line of thought that will get us furthest. Stop threatening workers with Government ac- tion to forbid their striking. men to work. You only irritate them by talk- ing of it. to against it. When workingmen feel You can’t force They have the Constitution to appeal themselves wronged they have and always will have a right to fight. The thing to do is to give them a kind of fight that does not take them from work and to prove to them that this kind of fight gets them as much and more than a strike, while it costs them less. How? 4 Well, begin by offering them an arena as big and conspicuous as any the Nation ever pre- pared. Invite them to take one one-hundredth of | per cent. of the money they lose in lost wages and the money they spend on leadership during a strike and put that one one-hundredth part of | per cent. into hiring the best lawyers the country holds. with public opinion exerting its full force and the whole power of the Government to see justice . done. results- Then let thet the and bills The zest of a struggle, the best possible pres- compare the entation of each case—but with halted produc- tion and general loss only a last resort in the background The way to show workers that the strike is “archaic” is to provide them with up-to-date weapons and opportunity to fight more effec- tively. In spite of local discouragements, the Indus- trial High Court is still the line to work on. The failure of the railway shopmen’s strike is a timely and impressive demonstration of how much more workers may pay for a strike than it’s worth to them Make the most of the time and the lesson. But take the right path. Hoover says the present prices of bituminous coal are an “outrage upon the American pul- le.” That doesn’t lower the prices. But it's a state of mind and therefore a beginning. MISGIVINGS. ENATOR CALDER was kind enough to as- sure Brooklynites this Week that the Ford- ney-McCumber Tariff is, on the whole, O. K. He said to them at a luncheon: “Iam convinced that when the American peo- ple understand the situation as it actually exists they will support overwhelmingly the action of this Congress and President Harding in passing the pending Tariff Bill. “It is the result of endless toll by the ablest men in the country, and I am here to say to you in all sincerity that this bill will not only safeguard labor but {t will insure us an era of Nation-wide prosperity and it will assure the world of the ald of a prosperous America.” This is a great relief. . Because after. the way perfectly good Republi- can members of Congress have been holding their noses and throwing fits over this Fordney- McCumber product, even Brooklyn folks might reasonably think there was something the matter with it. If the Fordney-McCumber Tariff is all right, it’s all right. But the country would be less jumpy about it if about half the Republicans in both Houses of Congress could be induced to suffer in silence while the deed is done. There were plenty of loose ends in the post- war treaties. But nobody expected such quick and bloody advantage to be taken of them as now eppears in Asia Minor.

WHOSE BIRTHDAY! SEPT. 16—LOUIS XIV,, King of France, was born at Saint Germaln- en-Laye, Sept. 16, 1688, and died Sept. 1, 1715. In 1643 he succeeded his father, Louls XIII, under the re- gency of his mother, Anno of Aus- tria, with Magarin as Prime Minister. In 1659 Louta marrted Maria Theresa, the daughter of Philip LV. of Spain As the King's early education had heen sadly neglected, It was thought hat he would not become a vigorous ruler, but when Mazarin died, In 1661, j Lous assumed control of the Govern- ment with such energy that he soon The street car conductor who ag on a trolley car got but little rest. changes his environment, sees thoughts, gets the most resful vacation.
