The Union and tho Unions

Prof WILLIS LUTHER MOORE, Chief
of the Weather Bureau, is profession
ally sensitive to atmosphere conditions.
Certain currents Of hot airrin the region
of the White House and Oyster Bay have
not famed his cheek i-lvain. "Ibelieve,
he. tells the delegates Of the lnterna-
tional Typographical Union at Washing
ton, that there is no power that has
done more to strengthen the Union Of
the States than the union of labor
A Union of hearts, Union of hands
and Union of unions forever! Doubt
less il is a sense of the centripetal force
of the labor unions that has so endeared
them to Chief MooRE's chief; and some
of them have shown themselves ready
TO guarantee a union government to
every State. Wherever union has
ordered it's members not to serve in the
National Guard of State, the order
must have been prompted by desire
not to increase the power of State at
the expense of the Union of States; and
wherever interstate commerce or the
mails have been interfered with by a
union, the object has clearly been to i'm
prove the state of the unions, If not the
Union of the States,
1t is gratifying to know that an official
who may be said to attain to something
Of prophetic strain is alive to the great
conservative and unifying power of the
labor unions. In view of the compar-
alive smallness of their membership,
their importance as a force OF national
Conference is the more interesting.
1t has been clear for some time that
the labor unions are very large part of
the system of checks and balances. At
times they seem to be the Government
itself. The present tenderness for them
must rest on profound apprecia-
ton of their activity as factor in
the Government. Since they are such
a factor, and since, as the weather. wise
MOORE tells US. they are powerful
strengtheners of the Union of States,
ought not the Constitution to be adj
justed to the facts, and the actual I'M
official power of the unions have due
constitutional recognition?

spirit topsail to be hoisted from the deck.
Both steer with a wheel.
In fact, each party in the struggle for
the Cup has learned from the other till
their representative yachts are Of the
same kind They are racing machines,
pure and simple and this is urged against
them by short-sghted persons, whose
ideas of yachting were formed twenty
years ago and have made no progress.
But these yachts are built to sail races,
not for cruising. The young gentleman
who takes his best girl out for Sunday
row takes her in skiff, but he does not
try to beat the man who comes along in
single shell. Our racing machines
have led the way to the adoption in
cruising yachts of more rational model.
We have sounder and swifter yachts
since we learned how to diminish the
beam of the old Swimming dish, to ease
her hard bilge, to lower her weights and
to fine away her fore and aft lines. All
these things are made possible by the
use of outside ballast and the long over
hangs of the racing yacht.
The designer has landed at last on
terra firra in his art. What lies before
him now consists chiefly in detail. What
effect will the modified scow bow of Re-
lance have? What will Shamrock's
midship section do for her? Such ques-
tons as these are questions bearing on
speed. All that relates to the healthi-
ness of the modern type of yacht seems
to have been settled and we owe its set
Element chiefly to the experiments made
with these same racing machines.

Yacht Race Problems

A good deal Of learned discussion of
the problems to be solved by the ap-
preaching yacht contest is just now
being wasted on the desert air.
The truth is that the larger problems
of yacht designing have been solved,
and we owe their solution to the strug-
gle for the Americas Cup. The Ameri-
can type Of yacht is no longer wide,
shallow hull with inside ballast and q
sail plan founded on q great hoist of
lower sails and short topmasts The
British model is no longer a plank set
upon edge and kept there by load of
lead on it's bottom, and propelled by a
set OF sails Of which the main one is low
and wide and surmounted by long
topmast.
The two models are now as much alike
as any two peas that ever were shelled.
Both are fairly deep and fairly wide.
Both have minimum OF underbody and
a maximum of overhang. Both carry
an abundance Of outside ballast Both
have enormous sail plans, with high
lower masts and tall topmasts. Both
have club topsails whose yards stand
straight up alongside the topmasts and
act as prolongations of those spars.
Both are built as light and easy of hull
as engineering skill can make them in
view Of the tremendous strains to be
withstood. Both have standing bow
spirits and set their jibs on jib stays.
Each has mainsail with the foot laced
to the. boom. Neither one carries

The Chicago Tunnel and the New York
subway.

To THE EDITOR OF The SrN--Sir. / have
noted with much interest some OF the recent
| articles in The Sun concerning important
engineering questions, more especially those
relating to the proposed Erie Canal improve
ment and the rapid transit subway under
Broadway. have been much impressed
with the sound common, sense pervadng
these articles. After all. engineering Is
largely matter of common sense.

length has been completed under the streets

procluiming its constructors as the greatest
modern exemplars Of engineering science
and skill.
While conditions as to depth. size Of cross
section and character of material encountered
in this tunnel are quite different from those
existing or the New York subway, the differ
ence in methods of construction is notable.
In the Chicago work several miles Of tunnel
had actually been built before the general
public was aware that work had been started
Access TO the tunnel was had through base
ments of adjacent buildings. in which were
stored construction materials. and where
air compressors and concrete mixers were
installed The excavated material was stored
during the day in specially constructed bins.
on the edge of the sidewalk or at the rear of
the building. and was carted away at night
without interference with street traffic. Such
methods are in violent contrast to those
in vogue along the New York subway, which
result in discomfort and danger to the pass
ers-by, in stoppage and detention of traffic
and in loss and damage to adjacent property.
The Sun deserves credit for opposing the
probable continuance of such methods in
the proposed Broadway extension.

The Venerable Swiss.

II is not every republic which can
celebrate the seven hundredth ami
versary of it's establishment. The
United States dates its Fourth Of July
celebration from 1778. The French Re-
public dates it's 14th Of July celebration
from 1880. The republics Of South and
Central America, large or small, date
their establishment from some time in
the past century.
The Swiss residents Of New York
celebrated in New Jersey last week,
in genuine William Tell style, the 7l2th
anniversary Of their national birth In
cosmopolitan New York most such an
niversaries pass without much notice;
but in the case of the Swiss, the event
is worthy of attention.
There are about $500 natives of Switz-
erland resident in New York city. There
are about 25, 600 residents of the Greater
New York of Swiss parentage or descent,
the larger number of Swiss newcomers
being attracted to other cities than this,
for the reason that the two crafts in
which Swiss workers excel, silk making
and watch making, are carried on out
side of New York more extensively than
here in town.
The Swiss in New York, as elsewhere
have proved to be good citizens indus
trious, thrifty, charitable, little inclined
to controversy, litigation or disturbance
and stalwart in their defence of order
and authority In New York the Swiss
colony is valuable element in the great
conglomerate population of the town.
