RESIDENT HARDING and Secretary Mel- lon are still busy with the all important problem of applying Prohibition to ships’ cargoes and stores. First it was ruled that if foreign vessels leav- ing their home ports after Oct. 14 bring liquor inside the three-mile limit they will be subject to seizure. Now Secretary Mellon is reported to have weakened on this ruling. Not the ship but only the liquor is to be seized. What would George Washington, Thomas Jef- ferson, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton and Ben Franklin have said if they had been told that one day a President of the United States and his Secretary of the Treasury would actually and in their right minds debate whether to seize or only to search a foreign vessel in an American port if proof were offered that it had a bottle of wine aboard? What would the Father of his Country have thought if he could have foreseen that it would grow up to entertain such notions of liberty and tolerance? : Stalwart, liberal-minded Americans turned into a Nation of fussy bottle-stoppers! Verily, the breed has changed. “Truth,” declared the sage, “lies at the bot- tom of a well.” But around New Brunswick, > N. J., the wells and the cesspools seem to be alike bottomle: ‘cence went || Freedom of the Seas! =:srrgt-= By John Cassel ||| Turning Points of coal so as to admit of an Increase of not more than 15 to 20 per cent. by sanctioning an agreement among mine operators as to the sell ing price, more than half the coal now lost would be saved to future generations, * * * This 1s one of the many Instances I could give you where 1 believe that Government regula- tiou would be of great value to Industry.” These views are interesting as recalling an atti- tude Mr. Hammond once held. One other quota- tion may be included. In a criticism of Congress Mr. Hammond once said: “Economics is too often subordinated to politics.” ‘That would be an excellent working motto for the commission Mr. Hammond now heads. DECENTRALIZING LABOR. ENSIBLE and sound are the remarks of W, G. Lee, speaking for his fellow members in the great international alliance of raflroad employees which has found it wise to decentralize in shaping its dealings with the lines. He says: “This whole business, with all railroad labor unions on one side and all railroads on the other, with the Ratlroad Labor Board in be- tween, got too big for any one man or a few men to handle. It was loaded with dynamite for the country as well as for ourselves and the execu- tives, No sane Government would permit any faction or class to paralyze the transportation business of the country and thereby punish the innocent, who are always in the majority. The only way out was to separate.” This is exactly true. That it has been so promptly recognized is a tribute to the reasoning powers of the leaders and a refreshing development in the great problem of adjusting organized labor so that it will fit prop- erly into the scheme of affairs, Another coal strike by April 1, 1923, is the talk at the American Mining Congress now in session at Cleveland, O. . The new Federal Coal Commission may find something in warnings as well as in facts. . THE MAYOR AND HIS BUS LINES. AYOR HYLAN has objected to the Transit Commission’s offer to legalize his munici- pal bus lines if the Board of Estimate will issue temporary franchises in conformity with the law. The Mayor says reliable operators would not take six months’ franchises. “That,” returns Chairman MéAneny, “is im- in History By Maubert St. Georges Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World), by Press Publishing Go, THE SIEGE AND FALL OF TRd (THE HOMERIC LEGEND), It was about 1500 B.
