A Serious Labor Situation.

The labor situation in New York city
does not grow better. Yesterday the rock
men and excavators' union. which had or
dered a strike affecting not alone the great
subway enterprise. but almost every private
building construction in the city. repudiated
an agreement which had been previously
made TO return to work pending an arbitra-
tion of dispute over wages and hours
The union includes 1900 members. the
larger portion OF whom have until recently
been engaged on the subway 1t will be
difficult to throw an equal number of nom
union workers into their places in short
order because of the scarcity of experienced
men. Furthermore. the move is of doubt
full success even if the workers could he
found. for there is serious question
whether the engineers would serve the ma
chinery for the operation of the drills
pumps and other appliances necessary in
the work. A complete stoppage of the
rock excavation would practically tie up
the entire enterprise, for completion of
which New York is anxiously waiting Such
an event would involve a heavy loss to all
the contractors. but this loss would be
small compared with that suffered by the
constructors OF buildings now affected by
both this strike and that of the Transfers.

the modern system of construction and so
delicate are the relations between the en-

arbitration agreement already entered into
by it's officers suggests the need of the in
corporation of these organizations. to make
them more keenly alive to the responsible
ity which they assume when they vote to

The Front Doors Open Again.

Having impressed the riding public with
a sense of the benefits of open front doors
on the street cars, the local companies
which lately have been keeping those doors
closed have now yielded and restored this
means of entering and leaving the cars
But the public must not tarry on the front
platforms, else will the doors be shut again.
The reason for closing the front doors, as
has heretofore been stated in The Star
was the fear of the corporation directors
lest they might be held responsible for acct
dents due to the failure of the motormen
to manage their cars properly in conse-
quence of the jostling of passengers. There
was no desire to annoy the public and the
companies found that the closing of the
front doors in fact initiated against their
interests by checking the Roadway of the
cars and thus lowering the efficiency of the
service. Probably with this object-Iesson
In mind the people will be more careful in
the future to the front platforms and
doors merely as means of entrance and
exit. But at the same time the companies
might profitably take the warning from the
episode that they are not furnishing enough
cars to the people. Under ideal conditions
there would be no question whatever of
crowded platforms difficulties of en-
trance and exit. Washington does not ex-
pect to be given such service immediate
ly. but it does expect better service than
IS given on some of the lines. where the
cars are almost always crowded far be-
yond the limits of safety, to say nothing of
comfort. Cars seating forty should not
be crowded to carry one hundred and yet
this is often the case on certain of the
local lines that it is not regarded as note
worthy by the passengers. 1t may con-
fdently be said that during the rush
hours, between eight and nine in the morn
ing and four and six in the evening the
great majority of the passengers stand in
the cars. With a few more cars on the
lines which now are most poorly served
there would never be any difficulty about
the front door question. But in view of
the peculiar conditions which obtain here
with the greatest travel occurring within
comparatively narrow time limits it would
be well for the companies to seek some
method Of car construction which will give
a maximum of access to the doors and
securely protect the motormen from crowd
ing. The rights and convenience of the
general public should not be left to the
chance that a few rowdies or platform
crowders, deaf to the warnings of the
motormen and the rules of good behavior.
may precipitate a renewal of the door clos
ing order

Kentucky's Shame.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
If the assassination of James B. Mar
cum In the court house at Jackson had not
been preceded in this state by SO many
similar and unpublished crimes, 1t certainly
would seem that this outrageous deed
would arouse Kentucky to the immediate
necessity of crushing out the c,wardly
"feudists" who have so long cursed the
commonwealth. The assassins are towards,
made bold only through banded num-
bers, and then made only bold enough
to shoot down their victims from cover
1t is by such stealthy methods and impla-
cable spirit that they intimidate whole COM
munities. including the officers Of the law
and the courts of justice, the result being
that it is rare indeed that one of these
assassins and anarchists is brought to pun
ishment. How much longer does Kentucky
propose to stand this? 1t is idle to say that
only local sections are responsible for it.
The whole state, by submitting to it so
long, has become responsible for it. Neither
does it count any thing to meet these con-
ditions with any plea of politics. That is
a venial and in the main an irrelevant plea
Republicans and democrats alike are en-
gagged in these dastardly feuds, and be it
said to the shame of both parties, neither
republican nor democratic administra tons
of the state have made any serious effort
to put end to this reign of crime

The Race Question in Tennessee.

Ten or a dozen ruffians in Sumner county,
Tennessee, decided that negro mail car
rier over rural route should give up ms
Job. They armed themselves with guns,
divided up into squads of two or three, ana
awaited the carriers approach. He came
along with the days mail in his bag, and
squad number one halted him. The sltua-
ton was explained. and he was advised
to turn back and stay turned Advice en-
phasized by odds of three to one and the
odds equipped with deadly weapons is
usually taken. The carrier turned back,
reported the affair to his immediate supe-
rior who IN turn reported it to the Post
master General. 1t is now under considera-
ton here at headquarters Shall the United
States government or the ruffians. prevail?
The spirit of the Indianola episode is here.
The mode of procedure is a little less for
NAL At Indianola the opponents of the
colored official held meeting in public and
adopted resolutions. No guns were dis
played, no physical violence directly threat
ened. But a woman was the official In
Tennessee, the official being man, the
choice presented was obedience or cold
lead. In both cases the ruffans had their
way.
The case of this mail carrier brings what
is called the race question down to q fine
point. The man does not owe his place to
political favoritism, but to his capacity as
demonstrated in a competitive examination
held under the civil service law. 1t cannot
be charged that he is "creature'' Of Mr..
Clarkson. put forward in the play for
Roosevelt delegates for next year. He was
appointed because the law made his ap-
pointment imperative. A refusal to ap-
point him would have been violation of
the law. He had won the place according
to the forms of law. And there is no allie
cation that he has not discharged his duties
conscentiously and well.
Here. then, is Mr.. Tillman's proposition.
Education and qualification must have
nothing to do with the negros status in
this country. The better educated he may
be, the better qualified for public office, the
more objectionable he becomes in our politi-
cal equation Voting and holding are
not for him in any circumstances, at any
stage of the game. The Constitution of the
United States and the civil service law say
differently. What says the country?

MI. Quay.

VIII Mr.. Quay succeed himself in the
Senate? 1t is early for Tie question, but it
is already under discussion in Pennsylva-
MIA. This mans career is extraordinary.
In some particulars 1t eclipses for success
under difficulties that of Simon Cameron.
Mr.. Quay learned his trade under Mr. Cam
eron and copied him in many things. His
distinction grows out of the ability he has
displayed in bringing the Cameronian poll
cies up to date. 1t required a master of
the art of politics to do that. He has not
had an easy time, by any means. He has
had some very close shaves But he is still
on deck, and, with his friends in Office,
from the goyernorship down, throughout
the state, his hold on power would appear
to be firm. The machine is his and he
made it. and 1t ought to be good under his
direction for another Legislature friendly to
his aspirations.

Insolence and Automobiles.

Firm the Chicago News.
Once more the season is at hand when
owners of automobiles insist upon breaking
the speed regulations established by the au-
thorities in the interests Of public safety.
There ought to be no hesitation on the part
of the police and their superiors in COM
polling respect for those regulations. Few
things are more disgusting than the inso-
lent assumption of the average automobile
owner that his offensive machine, because
1t cost him lot of money, should have the
right to make whizzng terror Of itself
upon the public thoroughfares Why do
Automobiles covet the distinction OF being
dangerous nuisances? The man in the rae
ing machine has no more right to put other
people In extreme peril with it than an an
archist has to throw dynamite bomb into
a crowd. Let the automobile owner come
down off his high horse-or his lofty ma
chine-and recognize that he has no war
rant for the arrogant assumption that he is
entitled to take liberties with the lives and
limbs Of the rest of the community.

from the fnlduelpnla PreSs.
If a state chooses to impose any qualifi-
cation on suffrage it has passing over the
effect on its representation, a constitu-
tional, political and moral right to do so;
but 1t Is bound to use no discriminate in
applying these tests to all American citi-
zens alike. 1t has no more right to vary
the application of these tests between black
men and white men than 1t has to vary
their application between black-haired men
and red-haired men, The southern negro
today Is ready, taking the opinion of his
best leaders. to accept as wise, desirable
and just any such tests. provided they are
applied to both races alike. In the end
the south itself will see this. 1t will take
time. but the sense of justice will at
length assert itself. No community, no
public and no state can indefinitely endure
the spectacle and consciousness Of injustice
Irritating attacks, social perils or personal
prejudice may for season blind the eyes
of men and silence their political con-
science. But the voice of justice can never
be wholly stilled.
