Neutral Commerce and the Blockade

The position which the Administration
is believed to have taken is that short Of
actual war any blockade Of Venezuelan
ports by Great Britain and Germany can
not be considered as affecting American
commerce.
This means. of course, that a pacific
blockade of the Venezuela ports concerns
only Venezuelan ships and possibly Brit
ish and German. There is no reason why
vessels of the United States should be
treated differently from those of any
other neutral country.
We suppose that this understanding of
the character of the blockade contem-
plated by England and Germany coin
cides with their obvious policy. whether
or not it agrees with the German an
nounCement Of purpose through DR.. Won
HOLLEBEN, year ago.
If those creditors hope to recover their
claims by the seizure Of the Venezuelan
custom houses and the collection of duties
on incoming cargoes, it is manifestly to
their interest that neutral commerce
should continue, not that it should be
stopped

The Pleasure Drivers Association appeals
to drivers generally TO assist in bringing
about proper regulations for the use Of
Brooklyn's Speedway. The association COM
plains that this grand stretch Of road,
excelling in many respects all others in this
country and designed specially for light
horse-driven vehicles, is constantly invaded
by large and heavy conveyances Of every
description, to the great distress Of the
owners Of fast horses. The city Of Brook
lyn, says the association, has done more
TO advance anG perfect the trotter than any
city in the world. and all that the horse men
need is protection.
Speedways. with their hard. smooth sur
faces, offer a strong temptation TO drivers
OF all sorts, and the Brooklyn course is no
exception. The speedway. though. is pecu-
liarly for the trotter, and traffic thereon
should be so regulated that he may have
free rein. Ii is to be hoped that the
Pleasure Drivers Association will receive
the help ii seeks.

The Cause OF the Strike.

At the very beginning of the coal strike
THE Sun said, on the strength Of evidence
thought satisfactory, that the real cause
Of it was not. as President MITCHELL
sought to have the public think, the de-
sire to escape from starvation wages. but
the demand Of the mine laborer for a
larger share in the relatively fat wages
of his employer, the miner proper. This
explanation was strikingly confirmed be-
fore the Gray Commission on Monday
by the testimony Of various miners
for example, JOHN DENKo and PETER
SCHIsCHAK. DEMOS receipts for eight
months, after he had paid his laborer,
were ss34se. SCHIsCHAK's net income
for year was $l,l3l05
Not unnaturally the laborer said to the
miner. the employer and capitalist i'm
mediately above himself in the ranks of
industry: Give me bigger share Of
your large earnings. But although this
demand came from those oppressed, if
any were, by the intoerable conditions
described by MITCHELL, the union men
turned deaf ear to them, The latter
precipltated the strike, not primarily to
obtain higher wages for their subordi-
mates but to avoid diminishing their
own.
DEMO and SCHIscHAK also tore to
shreds MITCHELL's pretence that the
miners poor wages drove them to the
inhumanity Of sending their children
from school to work 1t wasn't want
that made these well-paid laborers send
their young daughters to work twelve
hours every night.
Men Of JOHN MITCHELL's sharpness Of
mind and quickness of tongue may gain
for organized labor snowy and temporary
successes, but in the end unionism will
find. as other forms of business find, that
an honest leader is the best policy.
