Strikes as Warfare.

France Is just now in the throes of
serious labor agitation and French politics
is consequently in state of turmoil Pre-
mier Clemenceau, who has already given
signs of possessing the nerve sufficient to-
meet serious emergency. furnishes fresh
proof that in him France has capable
leader who can be relied upon to grasp the
situation firmly. In the chamber of depu-
ties yesterday the government was inter-
pellated by NJ. Jaures, socialist leader, as
to it's policy in the matter of the strike of
the electrical workers, which has plunged
Paris in darkness and threatened serious
developments. The premier was urged to
declare himself in terms to reassure the
working proletariat'' as to it's rights and
liberties. The speaker declared that a
strike Is a war and that the government
should not become partisan. NJ. Clemen-
ceau met the question boldly, and, adopting
the definition that a strike is a war, he
gave 1t application in terms which may
with profit be considered by administrative
executives in this country as we'll as
abroad. He said:
M. Jaures has told you that strikes are
war. They are war not between two adj
VerSarieS but between two adverSarieS on
the backs of the passers-by. No govern
ment, were it II. Jaures' own could permit
such war. He asks us to give strikers q
free course and would know b. what right
We intervene. L respond most imply: By
the right of society to existence.
In Louisville. Ky, a strike is now in
progress on the part of the employees of the
street railway system, who are demand
higher wages shorter hours or some
other concession, the public outside of that
city being uniformed as to and uncon-
cerned in the precise issues. These men
are not merely stopping work. but they are
trying to prevent others from working in
their places. They are undertaking to stop
the street car service, thus enlisting the
public as factor in their behalf. The
traction company objects to this procedure
and tries to continue the service. The re-
suit is a state of warfare, and the most
serious sufferer from the conflict is the
public.
Here We have a domestic Illustration of
the truth of NJ. Clemenceau's definition of
a strike which affects public utility. The
duty of the authorities in such a case is
plain. They must undertake to safeguard
the rights of the people, who need the
street car service and who are entitled to
peace and security in utilizing it. 1t may
follow that governmental Intervention in
cidentally aids one of the warning forces.
That is an inevitable result as long as the
crude method of referring industrial issues
which affect the public security and conven-
fence to the arbitrament of the strike is
pursued. The plain solution of this problem
is for both sides to bind themselves to sub
nit their disputes to arbitration and to
pledge acceptance of awards.
The sooner the truth is realized that
strikes are wars ION the backs of the pass
ers-by' the quicker will measures be uni
versally adopted to put an end to this
costly, dangerous, barbaric process of ad-
justing labor troubles

The President and Japan.

The President, 1t seems. was just in time
with his protest to the governor of Cali
furnia against the latest attempt there to
compliCate the Japanese question. Had the
legislature carried out Its program this
government would have been greatly en-
barrassed in its dealings with Japan on the
lines agreed upon between the President
and the California delegation which came
on at his instance to discuss the situation
Further Juggling with the school matter
should cease. Used as mask to introduce
the labor question, it was promptly thrown
aside as soon that object had been ac-
compIished. Less than hundred little
JaI.ancse shavers were held up as menace
to the school system of the largest city on
the Pacific coast! smaller spook never
before performed so large an office. For
several weeks all discussion was based
urOn the pretense that the education or
o.nld9en was at the bottom of the whole
diff CLlIy.
We all understand the question now, and
the President Is busy with it, Japan Is
willing to treat upon a basis respecting Jap
anese labor in America and American labor
in Japan. She is as little DESTROYS are
the people of the Pacific coast to see her
people flock to this country. She would
footsteps elsewhere. She would prefer TO
see them settle nearer the original base
And naturally. For should her surplus peo-
plr-there are but little the rise of forty
millions in all-ccatter over the world, the
power of the nation for great emergency
would be weakened.
The Presidents attitude in this business
has been a credit to the country. ven as
a; first presented he dealt with 1t in
spirit o. just Interpretation of our oblga-
lions and Japan's rights under the treaty
between the two countries. His tone may
be was a little too high. milder voice
would have been better, both for California
and for Japan. 1t was an instance when he
forgot his own combination. He f1ourished
the big stick without speaking softly
But that is over. He has the matter III
hand now as both sides confess 1t. and he
is Iaboring for terms of beneht TO poth
governments He should be assisted IN
every way by public sentiment all over the
land. The petty school question has peeh
EXPOSED. The friendship of two great ma
tons is at stake, and should be maintained.

By the River.

There is beatific CLEAN
In his observant eye
When he beholds the sparkling stream
And hears the waters sigh.
Like one whose soul is deep in thought
His eye doth heavenward gaze,
AS If his mind poetic sought
Some great and fitting phrase.
And yet within his brain doth dwell
No soft and rhythmic tune.
He's thinking up the yarns he'll tell
About his fishing, soon.

Holyoke. April 4.-The case of Catcher Herman Schincel who Is on the outs with the Holyoke club over the salary question is still unsettled. The latest reports couple the catch er's name with the Ware and West field teams in the Bi-State league. The Ware team Is reported to have made him an offer to manage the team and he also has a chance to go into the westfield team with Alfred J. Miller who has acquired the fran chise from Tom Dowd.
 If Schincel should break into the Bi-State it is more than likely that he would 90 to Westfeld for 1t would be more convenient to him a during the summer months he conducts . boxball bowling alley at Hampton ponds betwen Holyoke and Westneld and he could play in the Whip City without interfering with his bowl ing business to any great extent. As the Bi-State league does not counte- nance the signing of national agree ments players held by other clubs, Schincel would probably have to se- cure his release from Holyoke.

 WASHINGTON, April Excellent sport marked the racing at Bennings. Three favorites and one heavily back ed second choice won in the six events. In the fourth race, four and half furlong sprint, Superstition, the odds. on favorite, got away badly and did not figure. Easter Belle, who made the pace, was challenged by Servile in the last furlong, and the latter won by a neck.
 The handicap, which concluded the card, brought together Holscher, Lord Beanerges. Marster and Bulwark. Bull wark got away in the lead, but Mar ster, the favorite. closed up and won handily by a length and half

No Rival Polo League.

Thompsonville, April 4.-The talk of rival polo league next season is without foundation in fact. The promoters of the new deal state they will place a team in the towns of the circuit of the old professional basketball league which include Thompsonville. Dan O'Neil and Fred Winkler of Holyoke of the Con- necticut Baseball league are fighting hard for the franchises already granted to different persons. It can be stated for an absolute fact that no teams will be placed in Chicopee, Westfield, Ware and Thompsonville, as Managers Duggan, Holcomb, Will COX and Hullivan in the places named, will have nothing to do with polo.

 NEW YORK. April 4.-Walter Well. man, who arrived here on tho Kaiser Wilhelm IT.. expressed himself as well satisfied with all of his Arrangements for his proposed trip to the north pole in balloon. He informed the friends who met him at the pier that he would start surely in July.
 II am informed" said MT. Wellman, 'that Commander Peary thinks my plan Is not practicable. He thinks 1t will not be possible to reach the pole in balloon by reason of the weather conditions showers of icicles and heavy snowfalls In answer to his comment want to say that Peary has no idea at ali about ballooning \ My balloon is constructed to meet all the arctic conditions. and I have full confidence in my ability to reach the pole in it. When I set out from Spitzbergen in July, I shall think of nothing but success for my undertak- ing.
 T shall carry with me 1000 pounds of gasoline to supply gas for the balloon and 5000 pounds of rations. shall take with me also twelve Eskimo dogs for possible use. If do succeed in finding the pole, fully expect it to be nothing more than the center of the open polar sea"

 Commander Robert E.. Peary's ex- pedition to the far north is to set out about the last of June. The Roosevelt, the ship which was designed especial ly for arctic exploration, will carry the party.
 Anthony Fiala, member of the New York Arctic club, who went to the frozen north with the Baldwin ZiegIer expedition, is planning a quest of the north pole and has the backing of two capitalists.
 The navigator will be Captain George Conner, skillful ice pilot and mar iner, thoroughly conversant with the polar seas.
 As preliminary advance Mir. Fiala proposes to go north in June to within the arctic circle and land on the coast of Greenland. using sealing schooner equipped with auxiliary engines.

BASKETBALL.
Winsted Becomes Champion By Beat
 ing Bristol.

New Britain, April 4.--The strong Winsted basketball team which claims the championship of New Eng land, held on to its laurels last even ing by badly defeating the Delphis of Bristol, who wished to snatch away the title. The crack five from the Bell City did not show up as well as expected and only made two field goals during t.e game, the score at the closing whistle being Fl te II, in Winsted's favor.
 Referee Thomas Riley of Webster, Mass, put the ball in play about 9:S0 and both teams went in with 8 rush. It was soon apparent that the Win sted. boys were more clever than their opponents. The game was hardly under way when the ball was caged from the floor by Winsted. Winsted kept easily in the lead and at the end of the half the score was 12 to z in her favor.
 In the first half Thompson gave place to McConochie and both teams took the floor at the commencement of the second half without further change. In the second period Watch CT and Sears got into a mixup and were ordered of the floor. They left reluctantly and Captain O'Connell of the Winsted team and Lawton, an old Middletown player, went on in their places. Both were given round of applause.
 Bristol played desperately but was outclassed and its efforts did not bring results in the way of caging the ball. Most of It's goals were made from fouls.

Springfield. April 4.-Although he proved himself as clever middle weight wrestler as any man who has appeared in Springfield. Ed Dickson failed last night In his attempt to wrest championship honors from Jim Barnes. The Canadian took the first fall in 20:40, and the second and third went to the Springfield crack, the respective times being 12:4O and 0:3S. Some grand wrestling was shown, particularly in the second bout when the superior mat tactics of Barnes began to tell.
