Spring Humors

Come to most people and cause many
troubles, -pimples, boils and other
eruptions, besides loss of appetite,
that tired feeling, fits of biliousness,
indigestion and headache.
The sooner one gets rid of them the
better, and the way to get rid of them
and 10 build up the system that has
suffered from them is to take

soundness of the contention, that the
per diem" technicality does not real
ly affect the ethics of the question of
half holiday pay in the particular
case of the Navy Yard employees, will
be generally granted.
1t is the custom Of the Government
to pay its employees full salary during
the summer, although they do not
work on Saturday afternoons. There
is, consequently, no reason why the
Navy Yard employees, simply because
they happen to be paid under a diff
ferent system, should suffer the loss
of a privilege which is granted the
other Government employees.

the fair conditions brought about by
labor unions. If his attitude and the
conditions making it possible are de-
feasible, l can conceive of a similar
defense being put up for the property
holder who, enjoying all the benefits
OF modern civilization, refuses to
pay taxes on the ground that he does
not believe in the present form Of
borough or city organization. that his
rights of citizenship are trespassed
upon by such organization and that
his conscience will not permit him
to support it.
The argument is well worth con-
sidering. PROFESSIONALLY things are
done by trade unionism, drunk with
power, which are wholly indefensible,
but before condemning utterly the
system of trade uniOnism on account
of the excuses of members o. a trades
union, it is well to recall the condi-
tions that brought the trades union
into being. These conditions were
the unbearable expressions and injus-
tees of employers as a class.
The trades union has combated
these successfully to some extent, but
there is nothing in the present aspect
of human nature to show that the
oppressive conditions, which have in
a measure been destroyed by the
trades union, would not Immediately
return If the trades unions were
abolished. 1t is no defense of the
trust of capital to say that the trust
Of labor is bad
AS long as individual greed and
selfshness control the mutual rela-
lions of men, the trades union serves
an essential and necessary purpose
Plainly the remedy for bad trades
unions is not the abolition of all
unions, but the substitution of good
unions.

MaChinists' Pay.

The controversy between Captain
PendletCn, of the Washington Navy
Yard, and the Machinists' Union as to
whether the men. as per diem en-
ployes, were entitled to pay for the
half-holidays granted them by the
Navy Department, has been settled by
giving the men the money.
The decision came quickly. even be-
fore the men had a chance fully 10
present their side of the case. The
resolutions adopted by the union on
Wednesday night were presented to
the President the next day, and he
Immediately started the machinery
which resulted in Comptroller Trace
well rendering his decision the same

be reasonably raised as TO whether
a man should be paid a full days pay

The Open Shop.

A workingman, in a letter to the
Philadelphia Public Ledger" COM
bats the popular notion Of what con-
stitutes the open shop" with the
claim that the only really open
shop is the union shop" He con-
tends that there are no barriers in a
trades union against the admission
OF skilled mechanics with clean moral
records. There are restrictions on
the score Of apprentices and child
labor.
His further arguments against the
open shop are that It prevents
agreement with employers covering
wages, hours. and arbitration. mas
much as the union cannot speak for
men over whom it has no control.
that it is not sound public policy in
that it ignores the labor organizations
which have admittedly been instru-
mental in raising the standard of Iiv-
ing of the working classes; that the
stanchest advocates of the open
shop" in reality conduct absolutely
closed non-union shops.
Il believe" says this union man.
that the honest advocates of the
open shop really hold to the view
that the name implies a shop running
under fair conditions, open to trades
union members and non-members
alike. In its practical application
nothing is farther from the truth
There is constant discrimination
against the union man"

Count CdSSini'S Contention,

1t is a trife difficult to determine
from the statement of Count Cassini
in regard to diplomatic consequences
involved in the Ryeshitelni episode
at Chefoo just what the amiable Rus
sian ambassador considers to be the
duty of the United States and other
powers at the present moment.
The count asserts as a positive fact
that IF nothing is done the great act
OF Mr.. Hay in keeping China out of
the confict-an act which we all
recognize as making for the peace of
the world-becomes absolutely null
and void" The Chefoo affair the
count regards as further evidence that
Japan went into the agreement in
tending to violate neutrality wherever
1t suited her purpose"
Because, as the Russian representa-
tive claims, the incident is far more
serious, in an international sense.
than any question which has been be-
fore the world since the adjustment of
the Boxer troubles" and because the
entire Chinese question, fraught with
danger TO all nations that have an
interest in that country, once more
lies open to all eventualities. the
count contends: TT would seem to
me to be a time for action by Europe
and the United States. / do not mean
the sending Of fleets, but l do mean
that some extraordinary step should
be taken"
Wen and good. Let it be acl1nowl-
edged that Japan has no defense and
that the counts extraordinary step"
should be taken. What "extraordi-
nary step" does the count think
should be taken in connection with
Russia's sinking of the ships of neu-
trail powers in violation of the pro-
visions of international law that all
captured vessels shall be brought be-
fore a prize court for final dispose
ton?
The count has his opinions on that
subject, too, but they are strangely
at variance with his views in regard
to the duties of the United States in
connection with the RyeshiteIni af-
fair. Asked about the progress of
the controversy over the contraband
and the sinking of the Knight Com
mander, he replied: .- ,-.-....-...
Il know little about it's progress
The United States has generally en-
forced neutrality, and we had expect
&c to see her hold aloof from the con-
troversy."
Puzzled American diplomacy, IN
skilled in the art as taught by the
Old World masters, may be pardoned
for asking that the count explain how
the United States, while holding aIoof
in the knight Commander case, where
an American cargo was involved.
could interfere in the Chefoo business
and still maintain a reputation for
consistency and fairness.
As a matter of fact, the counts in
terview reads like an exceedingly
specific case of special pleading. the
ultimate purpose Of which is to lead
to foreign interference in the Far
East and thus raise a huge cloud of
dust in which Russia may escape
with the remnants Of her prestige.
