The strike in Sweden Is not yet universal
but II is much nearer being SO than most people
expected II 10 be and is causing an enormous
amount of suffering. Apparently, it is more
nearly universal than any other strike which
has occurred in any European country, and IL
threatens TO become worse with the involvement
Of the other Scandinavian countries as aiders
and abettors of the strikers If not as sufferers
from extensions of the strike across their
borders.
The scarcity OF food and other supplies causes
not only inconvenience and suffering. but also
no doubt, some deaths for there are many
invalids TO whom any material interference
with their diet may prove fatal We hear also
OF the dead being left unburied because the
gravediggers will not work. and Of towns and
cities threatened with pestilence because the
scavengers and employees in sanitary establish
ments are on strike. There come reports also
of an attempt TO destroy a city lighting plant,
and thus to add darkness to the other distreSses
of the people. Violence is being used TO com
pei men 10 Join the strikers, and counter
violence 10y the police and troops may be resort
ed To at any time
And all this rather than submit TO authorta-
tive arbitration a petty dispute over wages in
Il few shops. Or, as II seems fair TO say, all
this rather than let the government get the
credit OF settling dispute amicably and equi-
tably and in order to arouse animosty against
the government and so promote the cause OF
socialism There are those who deprecate the
use OF force and the killing of men in war,
for no matter how desirable an end. Certainly
there is at least as much reason for deprecat-
ing the infection Of this widespread suffering
upon innocent and helpless people for an end
Of doubtful or worse than doubtful deslrability.

REFORE AND AFTER.

President Taft signs the Payne Aldrich bill
and makes II law. although il is worse than
the Dingley tariff and imposes many duties
higher and more burdensome than those ii re-
places-New York Times, August 6.
OF the bill as originally reported by Mr.
Payne from the Ways and Means Committee
of the House of RepresentativeS-that measure
differing only slightly. so far as the dutiable
schedules and the free list are concerned, from
the new law-"The Times" said, on March 10:
It 1.-THE Payne bill is a more reasonable bill
than any that has ever originated with the
party of protection. II is the very opposite Of
tho Mckinley bin and the Dingley bill, and so
far as can now be judged it is a much better
bill than was sent to the Senate in 1888 on the
basis of the tariff commissions report of that
year The significant and profoundly
encoura ging fact remains that sound principles
have been, in a practical manner and 10 an
effective degree, recognized by a Republican
committee, and will hope. without impair
ment be recognized by Congress.

THE AMENDMENT.

Dispatches from Atlanta attach considerable
importance 10 the action Of the Georgia Senate
IN refusing 10 make the income tax amendment
a special order for immediate consideration, but
IL is not at all clear that the significance is not
exaggerated. The situation seems nebulous. The
amendment was introduced only few days ago,
and referred 10 the Judiciary Committee.
On Wednesday the Senate voted TO take the sub
ject out of the hands OF that committee the
result being 10 bring il directly before the Senate
itself. That action was distinctly favorable TO
the amendment. The following day the Rules
Committee refused 10 make the amendment reso-
luton special order, that il might he brought
up Immediately for passage, and the Senate sus-
tanned the committee The utmost that this ap-
pears TO mean is that the amendment is not
going 10 be rushed through IN Georgia as
swiftly as it was in Alabama. Perhaps action
on il will be postponed till the next session OF
the Legislature.
Neither the Georgia Legislature nor the public
has had time to consider the subject, and there
is evidence Of lack of definitely formed public
opinion on and public interest in it, Examination
OF the Georgia newspapers which reached us
yesterday shows that not one Of them contained
an expression Of editorial opinion on the income
tax question. In the news columns of all but
one the legislative consideration of the amend
Inent received only the briefest and most per
functory mention In only one OF them was
there a headline containing any reference 10 the
subject. Obviously, with the popular Judgment
uniformed as il is. the action Of the Georgia
Senate In refusing 10 rush through the amend
ment was only natural and proper Alabama
having succeeded in being first TO act, there is
no reason why any other state should be I'm a
hurry.
No really significant action upon the amend
ment is 70 be looked for until next January
when the whole group Of states where opposition
- Il is likely 10 be strongest hold legislative
sessions. Tho tactical advantage Of early action
rests with the opponents Of the measure for
only Alabama. Georgia. Tennessee and Texas
win have been heard from when the legislatures
Of New York, New Jersey. Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts,. Maryland and Ohio con
vcne. This group Is made up exclusively of

Of Germany to surpass England, but insists
that AN agreement for limitation of ornaments
can be considered only when Germany has be-
come equal in power to England on the sea, or
at least that the agreement must permit Ger
many To attain such equality. So there they
are, at an absolute deadlock. Each of the two
protests doubtless with entire sincerity, that
its armament is not meant to be menace to
the other and each insists upon its right To
build as many ships as it may please to build.
The problem Of finding a ground of agreement
between the two which will stop the rivalry,
which threatens to be ruinous. may not be in
soluble but the solution of IL may we'll be the
despair of all save the most hopeful of peace
