To the new Chief Engineer there is promised an appropriation
for street work that will virtually be a new broom in his hands. To
the new Deputy Police Commissioner there has been promised no one
knows what, but the chances before him are many. Of the new Fire
Chief there is an implied promise that he will live up to the example
and the precepts of his predecessor.
Prospects of reform and improvement are good. There will
surely be change upon change. 1t is not likely any of them will
make things worse. Moreover, there is always the possibility of the

n further cause for qualification in the announce

sion of men in whom organized labor has full. confidence.
Dynamiting is n cruel and reckless crime. 1t strikes primarily
at property, but is regardless of life. To destroy the building or the
bridge or the mine of some hated capitalist, the dynamitcr fires n
bomb that may blow a score Of workingmen to death.
The commission Of these crimes has become common. They
menace society at large. The argument that they are committed in
the interest Of organized labor must he met. American law holds
no man guilty until he has been convicted after a fair trial. But
neither will American sentiment permit dynamiting to pass unpun-
isHed because Of a plea that to arrest a suspected criminal is to make
an attack upon organized labor.
