WHAT rs THE EXPLANATION

The continued story Gambling Dens Wide
Open' is still running IN the newspapers, al
though most readers feel that it is dreadfully
monotonous and as far from the climax as
Il was when the first instalment was published,
away back ia some forgotten year. There is
still the same official theory afcat that 1.-The
pooIroom system is smashed forever" and the
same open secret that any youth who wants
to can find place within coin tossing range Of
his little iron savings bank where he may lose
his money on any real or imaginary steed. If
It were not so venerable the story might be
amusing But, whether novel or stale the anec-
dote published by The Tribune yesterday about
a Brooklyn magistrate, q patrolman and
gambling house throws upon some unpleasant
facts a light too strong TO excite the readers
risibilities.
To a patrolman who had dragged into court
two "crap shooting" youngsters Magistrate
O'Reilly, OF the Manhattan avenue court, said:
Instead of spending your time looking for
small boys who Willing away the vacation
afternoons shooting craps" why don't you go
around to No Debevoise street and arrest the
occupants of that house for gambling?
The policeman mumbled that be didn't quite
know why he hadn't visited the address given
by the magistrate, which Indicated that the
particular house and the practices Of its occu-
pants were well known TO the officer, who
would quickly have disclaimed all knowledge,
If possible.
The situation, then, is this: A city magistrate
knows enough about poolroom TO speak
openly about It In court; a policeman knows
enough about it TO leave its occupants unmo-
Tested; and the court episode has put the
gamblers on the alert, making capture and con-
viction doubly difficult. Is it possible that In
telligent citizens are utterly out Of sympathy
with anti-gambling laws and measures? That
hypothesis might account for the combination
of knowledge and laxity displayed in the Brook
lyn court episode. If the magistrate seriously
desired the capture and punishment of the
Debevose street gamesters he should not have
given them warning by public references TO
their institution. VIII some expert in conduct
Ing unveiling ceremonies kindly tell US whether
or not an honest belief in the propriety of gam
bling explains the incident?

No FEDERAL RIGHTS WAIVED.

RroakIvn correspondent whose letter we
rsubsisb In another column, asks us TO explain
why the preliminary injunctions granted by
federal fudges in Alabama and North Carolina
s1,spending the operation Of state passenger and
freight rate laws until their conshuuonality
should be determined were not enforced In
their full rigor by federal authority. He seems
himself TO think that the writs were modified
because Of some compulsion used by the states.
and that the federal courts yielded because
they were not assured Of support from the fed
eral government at Washington. This wholly
mistaken and unwarranted notion was, indeed,
exploited 81 certain quarters at the time OF
the North Carolina settlement But glance at
the record viii show that il is absolute mis-
construction Of facts. The federal courts have
yielded not an inch In their assertion OF federal

THE RFLFAST STRIKES.

The strikes at Belfast. which have become
tragic In their results, are from an important
point of view the most serious which have
occurred In the United Kingdom. They are
tyvofold in character and in either phase alone
would be sufficiently grave TO absorb the at
tention of the authorities With the two phases
combined, they rise from the status OF local
disturbances TO that of an episode Of national
Significance Some criticism has been directed
against the government for its lenity toward
the leaders of disorder at the outset. Whether
or not il is justiabe, there is reason to believe
that the government now realizes the gravity
of the situation and will deal with it in fit
ting manner.
The trouble began with an ordinary industrial
strike of coal handlers, draymen and others
The magnitude of that strike and the intensity
of feeling manifested by the strikers against
strike breakers were such as would have taxed
the temper discretion and efficiency Of the con-
stabulary to deal with them had the constab
ulary done its duty in the emergency. But the
constabulary did not do its duty. On the con-
trary, it took advantage Of the grave emergency
to go on strike itself. That was the second
phase of the strike which mmeasurably added
to the gravity of the crisis and that 1t was
which made 1t necessary to march thousands
OF troops into the city to take Tia place Of the
