IouS, Asserts Correspondent.

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
You say, editorially. that the Attorney
General is likely to be a pretty good
lawyer. This may be true enough. He
may be, like the Secretary Of State, a
mighty good corporation lawyer; and
both OF them may be as short" on
constitutional law as their antics in the
Glen Echo matter would seem TO indi-
cate. while both Of them may be so
long on international law as to con-
stitute them regular pundits.
In the Glen Echo case, both care as
little for Collins, or Garrett, or John
ME" Lutz, as does the Shah Of Persia.
What they are both after IN this case
Is 10 stab the police powers Of every
State in the Union.

that $1 ,OOO, ,OOO week is paid in wages or $50, 900, 900 year. From that they are figuring that the building expenses of the year have been over S1OO, OOO, GOO. They are figuring that in 10 years the city will have wholly recovered from it's disaster and that at that time 1t will have population of ,OOO, 900 peo- pie. One of the curious things that may be seen .in the city is a whole block of houses out on California street made up of made-over street cars set up on brick foundations, The bank clearings for this year are over $1OO,- GOO, 900 more than last year and the orange export more than 2, 1000 carloads beyond the export of 1905. The fire and earthquake attracted many people to the city and there bas been such an abundance of work that there was employment for all who desired to labor. The prospect is that San Fran cisco is to become the great city of the West Coast.
 The A very serious strike Railroad Strike. has recently been averted by government mediation, when 50, GOO trainmen and conductors who are working in the West were able to settle their differences with their employers by the help of Martin A. Knapp ot the Interstate Commerce commission and Charles P. Neill, com missioner of labor. How much was involved one may in a measure realize when he knows that A railroads be- tween Chicago and the Pacific Coast were involved and nearly 500, 900, em- ployes. The differences between the men and the railroads were settled by granting 10 per cent advance in wages, which means about S5, SOC, ,OOO year more than they had been re- ceiving. The fact that 5O,OOO men banded together could hold up half the country in wage dispute has led to some pretty serious reflections on the part of the thinking people of the country. It raises the question as to whether the government will not be obliged to take more account of the strike question and the rights of the strikers and their employers. To stop every wheel on great trans-continental lines and to tie up all the transporta- tion of food and fuel is rather serious business. It means not only loss of property but also loss of life. It looks as though it was about time to begin labor for others good.
