But One Fault in Great Parade.

To the Editor of the Evening STAR
While the big Labor Day parade of
yesterday was a model one IN nearly
every respect and worthy of a~city with
such diversified industrial interests as
Newark, 1t had one fault. That fault
was not very large one, and, perhaps,
1t may be overlooked because of the In
tense heat of the day. But it was a
fault, nevertheless. In other words,
those who managed the parade did
not keep their faith with the public,
which had so spontaneously turned out
to wish the workers well.
Instead of the whole line marching
to Washington place and qisbanding
there, according to the route laid out,
hundreds of the paraders, for some
reason unknown to the onlookers,
turned up Cedar street. The result
was that the thousands of men, women
and children who had gathered be-
tween that street and Washington
place were bitterly disappointed be-
cause they missed about one-third of
the parade.
When you turn out again, men Of
labor, give all of your friends show to
see you! DISAPPOINTED

How to Get Rid of the Strike.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The clergymen made organized labor
the subject for many sermons Sunday,
and the beautifully conducted parade
yesterday was an inspiration to all
friends of labor. What large army 1t
was that paraded the streets and what
a political power! If the union men
would only stick together on election
day as they do on Labor Day there
would be more happiness In the home
of the average worker.
Why is 1t that large body of intel
ligent men, a body of earnest men, will
on one day In the year concentrate all
it's forces and on another vote as did
their fathers or as told to by a political
spellbinder or ward healer?
Election time is drawing near; cool
weather will soon be here, and The IL
brary has a number of good books on
political economy which make excel
lent reading, being both entertaining
and instructive. The union man will
have no need for unions If he but vote
right. Let him use his brain on election
day and the strike will vanish from
the land. WORKER.

A few years ago many persons when
they saw Conservation" in print
thought the compositor had intended to
set up conversation" and had trans
posed the letters. The educational
campaign which included the Ballinger-
Pinchot imbroglio has served to make
impossible such mistake in this en-
lightened day, but it has also con-
vinced many that the words are syn
onymous. Be that as it may, the par
allel addresses on conservation by the
chief Republican exponents of the prin-
ciples which have split the party have
been read with interest and intelligence
and apparently no one has discovered
enough divergence of opinion to get
wildly excited about 1t.
