We may assume. however, that one

There will be no promotion from the city

the sporting horizon.

that he has to face in a methodical. at

personal charge of the major features,
especially those connected with the SYM
pathetic visits of foreign rulers or their
representatives, and evidently means that
nothing which can be foreseen shall in
terfere with the friendly spirit of the
solemn occasion. And. especially he has
shown himself intelligently interested in
the daily concerns of the English people

Steel Work Conditions.

There can be no doubt that the con-
ditions of labor at the Bethlehem steel
works are such as to call forth indignant
protest from every friend of humanity,
every believer in the doctrine that man
mas a right to a reasonable chance to
earn a livelihood without self-destruction.
1t is set forth in Commissioner Neilfs
report to Congress on this question that
the conditions obtaining at Bethlehem are
excused on the score that they are COM
mon to the steel industry, in many in
stances steel workers being compelled to
remain on duty twelve hours day for
all seven days of the week. 1t is not ex-
traordinary that the workers protested at
Bethlehem, although their methods of
protest may not be regarded as wise or
just. They were struggling against in
tolerable conditions and ii is fortunate
that as result of their fight for relief
the matter has been brought into public
notice. Congress can reach the situation
only by indirect means. 1t can stipulate
that the government shall not buy steel
products from any mill where such in
humane conditions of labor obtain, and
inasmuch as most II not all. of the large
steel producing plants supply the govern

amount of money is spent in rents for
inadequate housings for divisions. bu-

United States is conducted into which no
self-respecting American citizen would
venture to escort foreign tourist. There
are offices that enterprising merchants
and business men would regard as
shameful confession of bad mana cement
or of poverty.
1t should not be too much to hope that
Congress will soon take this view of the
governments own necessities and hasten
the proposed legislation that will enable
the United States, as the greatest busi-
ness institution in the world. to equip it
