Result of Hot Head When Cool One
Should Govern.
The strike of the freight handlers
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad was started be-
cause the company's officials refused
TO discharge a foreman at the Fall
River line pier in New York The
foreman promised to join the union,
but did not
The right of men to organize is not
now questioned by anyone. Nor
does there appear to be any just
grounds for questioning the right of
other men to keep out of the organi-
cation. Looking at the matter dis
passionately and impersOnally, it
would seem that such right was
among the mathematics.
Indeed, the officials of the freight
handlers union must have felt this,
for, after making an issue of the point
by ordering a strike, they offered to
withdraw all demands, waive even
the non-union foreman. if the com
pany would take the strikers back as
a body. This the company, wisely or
unwisely, refused TO do.
Every controversy which arises be-
tween capital and labor could be am
icably settled ii the points at issue
were examined with a view TO ascer-
tanning, not how much one side can
get, but what is right for both sides
and the vitality concerned general

It is not disagreements over eco

strikes. It is the hot-headed deter

LIFE AGAIN ANIMATES
JUDGE PARKER'S BOOM
Alabama Convention Endorses and Tennessee Insuc for
New York Jurist-Ohio Leaves Matters in Doubt

The Parker boom received some en-
enlargement yesterday. II has been
rather sluggish for the past ten days.
and yesterday was the first time since
the Indiana convention that anything
happened to give Il new life and re-
newed vigor
The Alabama convention indOrHd the
New York jurist's candidacy for Presi-
dent in no uncertain or equivocal Ian
guage, and II was done practically with
out opposition. as the consensus OF Opin-
Ion among a very large majority Of the
delegates TO the State convention was
that Judge Parker is the most available
man for the nomination and the man
best calculated 10 win. Still they did not
go 50 far as TO Instruct the twenty-five
delegates to ST. Louis from Alabama TO
vote for him.
In view OF the strong Endorsement
1t is to be expected. however. that the
vote Of the entire delegation will be cast
for him, since the unit rule vas adopted.
ualess there should be a radical change
in the situation. Therefore. unless the
bottom drops out Of the Parker boom
between now and convention time. which
is not likely, Alabama will cast twenty
two votes for Parker. Should anything
happen which in the opinion OF the
members of the Alabama delegation
would make Judge Parker an undesira-
bic candidate. they arc free 10 vote for
whomsoever they wish.

After all. it appears that the first
cause of whatever disturbance there
may be at the Government Hospital
for the Insane is more lack of tact
than any especial delinquency on
either side It is never the easiest
thing in the world for an outsider TO
fit in as the boss of insiders. who
know or think they know all there is
to know about a certain situation.
Another time when DR.. White be-
comes the superintendent of an insti-

value of making haste slowly. Mean
while, the Board of Visitors seems to
be disposed to approve of his inten-
tons and disapprove of his method,
which probably sizes up the case ex-
actly.

Is He Really Getting the Worst Out
Of Life?

Is He Really Getting the Worst Out
OF Life?
What one may think of George F.
Baer. head of that combination of
capital known as the Coal Trust, as
philanthropist, should not blind
his eyes to the gentleman's ingenious
frankness as regards his business
methods. Whether Mr.. Baer is too
honest or too insolent to deceive; we
know not. But deceive he does not,
and even the devil is entitled to his
due.
Mr.. Baer illustrates how far astray
man goes when he attempts 10 meas
ure his responsibilities by the mer-
CHESS standard of human justice.
Baer told the Congressional Com
mittee meeting in New York that ne
would not reduce the price of coal as
long as people WOULD buy coal at the
present price. in other woAs, mans
duty to himself consists in preying
upon his fellow-man's necessities to
the utmost farthing of selfshness.
We frankly acknowledge that, ac-
cording to the commonly practiced
business methods of the day, Mr..
Baer's position is absolutely unassail-
able. He asserts his right to buy in
the cheapest market and sell in the
dearest, and he usHtes the right of
any other man to interfere with this
right On his plane he is entirely
justified. though some may consider
it mighty pocE pane
AS a matter Gf fact, Baer's trouble
amounts to this: He lacks breadth
of view Honestly or otherwise he
has mistaken the end and the aim OF
life. He thinks the best that life has
for him is material success. He does
not perceive that material success
which is unaccOmpanied by develop
ment of character and expansion OF
sympathy, is merely the peanut
shucks which litter the ground ate
/ the circus has gone.

Yesterday was a quiet day in the
freight handlers strike in New York
city, though there were suggestions
that the position of the strikers was
not any stronger when night came.
Firemen left the transfer boats Mary
land and Express, and a small num-
Der quit work in New Haven. There
were threats of sympathetic action
by the Atlantic Coastwise Seamen' 5
Union. On the other hand, President
Curran and other officials of the
Freight Handlers Union were mani
testify anxious for action that would
place matters where they were before
the strike. Arbitration was refused
by the railroad, but the Civic Fedora
ton, after talking with the strikers,
agreed to try again. President Cur
ran was ready to put his men 70
work while the points at issue were
being considered. It is to be hoped
that the railroad company will meet
the strikers at least half way. Being
stiff-necl1ed never does anybody any
good. II the company has a good
case, # certainly cannot afford to be
the one 10 refuse to submit that case
