WAR IN Pennsylvania.

That is a bad condition of affairs
at McKees Rocks, near Pittsburg,
where a dozen men were killed, in a
kind OF general warfare in a day.
From an impartial report made it
seems the men were not we'll used and
hence they; had some justification for
striking. The treatment OF the opera
tives was clearly unjustifable but
that does not license lthe operatives
TO wage war, 10 carry guns and shoot
down the officials or any working
men who may desire to earn wages,
II these rioters do not desire TO work
and II they are justified in asking for
better terms, as, we think they are,
they can go some where else and seek
labor and they should resort TO Legal
methods to redress their grievances
That is the right OF a citizen but ns
has no right to seek to redress his
wrongs by an appeal to force. The Of
ficials of Pennsylvania should put an
end to the intolerable situation at
Pittsburg. The press and pulpit forum
should unite 10 condemn the oppres-
sion OF the poor and the weak by the
string and powerful but even II that
is not done our country offers no
place for anarchy and rebellion
against lawful authority. 1t is time to
break up an intolerable and unlawful
situation and to have 1t understood
that differences OF opinion and indus
trial fiction must be settled in this

WHAT OF THE TARIFF CoNfNns
SION?

President Taft wants experts on
the tariff who can earn 100000 annu-
ally for Uncle Sam but who can only
expect a salary of $500. This tariff
commission is the elusive factor and
unknown quantity of the new tariff
law. It is desired by some of the
and heavy interests that 1t amount
20 nothing being a mere fgure-head
or fifth wheel.
Senators Aldrich, Hale, Lodge, De-
pew & Co., would make 1t last
years birds nest But The National
Manufacturers Association led by
John Kirby of Dayton, The American
Reciprocal Tariff League, The Car
riage Builders National Association
and two dozen other important busl-
ness societies have spoken for Per-
manent Tariff Commission and the
idea commends itself to common
fairness and justice. 1t would seem
that because It will get at facts and
serve to bring about revision, ul-
timately, is the very reason it Is op-
posed by the Aldrichites.
1t Is understood that the President
is watching the press to note the
tendency of suggestion and criticism
on the matter in the country. He
wants TO know what public opinion
is as to whether the people desire
to magnify this Commission or
whether they would perfer that 1t re-
main a mere phantom body. 1t is our
opinion that it would be wise pilicy
for the President to magnify this
body, that he place strong men on
this board that their work be i'm
partial and unfettered and that 1t
seek nothing but public good. These
men should examine such subjects as
sugar, iron, steel and other schedules
and report the fact to the President
and the country. If there are enor-
nous gouges in these schedules 1t
would contribute to our peace of mind
10 know II and not to be always CUES
sing about it. We are satisfied Aldrich
is an old pirate but we want TO see it
proven and this is a good way to
get it done at public expense. Moreover
II the government is unwisely and
unjustly levying tariffs it is the peo-
Piles rights to know it.
