stranded miles from home and the ocean rolling between, and even
funeral professions stopped on their way to the cemetery. An ap-
palling situation had developed without the slightest warning, and
nobody could predict how long it was to last. As a matter of fact, it
lasted officially about six hours-but the horror of it is not over yet,
the indignation is still seething, and the dread of further "happen-
sings" Of similar nature is all the time hanging over our heads.
The city surrendered, and the situation was saved. Now the thing
-.s beginning to be talked over and investigated, though in a gingerly
way, because there is really no law to prevent a recurrence of the
strike. Dock Commissioner Tomkins is understood to have dismissed
the strikers delegation with vague promises and the awful threat that
If there should be another strike on the ferry lines owned by the
city the men who walked out would not be taken back" Is this
dire enough to restrain them?
40 Timothy Healy, president of the International Brotherhood of
stationary firemen, to which organization some Of the strike leaders
belong, told the Commissioner of Docks and Ferries that the strike
chad been plotted by a group of politicians for the express purpose
of giving municipal ownership a "black eye" and putting it out Of
competition for the new subways.
TO- This, If true, is a new and sinister complication in the subway
- squabble, which was bad enough without it. In any case, whether
irstthe municipality has its optic damaged or not, the community at
large gets a body blow that is pretty hard to stand.
A public job is n public trust. The men who accept EMPLOYMENT
from the city owe it a special loyalty, and they stand in a different
relation as to grievances from that of employees of private CORPORA
sl lions. In fact, they are in a sense working for themselves. SINCE
they are presumably voting members of the community that EMPLOYS
them and prescribes conditions. To desert their posts at the cost

from Pennsylvania arrive in Washing

Parties from Pigs Point, according to
