WORRYING THE WRONG WAY.

Council of New Orleans 1t controls
me handling OF all freight that rcachc $
that port from the time 1t arrives in
New Orleans until it has been loaded
on the ships. There are ten or more
unions affiliated with the central coun-
ell. and they control the whole bust
ness, from the unloading OF bale OF
cotton from the train to the hauling
OF 1t to q cotton compress, TO the com
pressing of 1t, to the hauling of it TO
| lie chips, to the marking OF II and TO
The loading Of it. and the organization
is so strong that the business OF the
port can be handled only through 1t
and its affiliated societies
The other day a jury in the United
States Circuit Court at New Orleans
returned a verdict OF guilty against
James Byrnes. former President Of tho
| Council. and now State Labor Commits
sioner OF Louisiana: Philip Pearsaw.
former President OF the Local Coal
Wheelcrs' Union, and U. S. Swan, for
,ncr President of the Longshoromen s
Union. the two last persons named be-
ing negroes. Two years ago there was
a strike among these people because
the Coal Whcelcrs' Union would not
coal q steamer then in port, non union
longshoremcn having been employed to
load the vessel. These representatives
OF the Council were charged with con-
spiracy to interfere with foreign COM
mercc. in violation OF the provisions
Of the Sherman Antitrust Law, and
the jury found them guilty.
There will probably be some an
nouncement from Gompers on the sub
ject. and doubtless many protests
against the infamous oppression OF the
law, the Sherman law having been main
ly intended as many persons thought
at the time Of its passage, for the reg
ulation Of organized capital, without
any reference to the conspiracies that
! might be formed by organized labor in
restraint of trade; but the laws must
be uniform and equal before they can
be just, and they must BIO administe cred
equally If they are to have full force
and effect in protecting the rights OF
both capital and labor.

icernod, but he has noted. probably,
! that there has been a most insistert
( demand in New York that Governor

certain circumstances at least. in the

proper for the Executive to get down

However that may be, and declaring
! our own deliberate opinion that Lori
mer is i'll no sense fit for a scat in the
Senate. we would remark that tie most
striking and coura geous passage in
Senator Payntcr's speech was his dig
nifed response to the dcmand" made
upon him from his own State to OPP
pose Lormcr. in these words:
In tile consideration OF the judicial
question that is before us. If knew TIA t

1t does not matter about the rest. so
far as Senator Paynter is concerned
VIC think his judgment is at fault in
the conclusion he has reached about
l-orimer; but we have only#admiration
for the courage with which he has de-
clined TO be influenced in his conduct
as a Senator by the pressure from his
own State, and pressure exercised
doubtless by those who have given lit
tie attention TO the merits Of the case
and who certainly have no responsi-
hility for ii. Senator Paynter need not
fear the effect of his indc pendence or
Judgment upon the people back In X
lucky: they Will think more highly Of
him for having the courage to do what
he thinks is right in this case and
there is probably not a man, woman
richild in his State who will not thank
him for IT, not because they believe
Lorimer should he seated, but because
they have faith in the integrity Of their
own Senator.

impressed with his effective work
feared that it would not be possible
for the President 10 find anywhere a
man Of like genius and ability 10 take
his place. Mr. Pinchot is now deliver
school OF Forestry. and we have no
doubt that they Will be very excel
lent lectures, because plnchot is a very
able man. In an interview on Wedncs-
day, Pinchot spoke in enthusiastic
terms of the wdrf' of Professor II. S.
Graves, Of the Yale School OF Forestry
his successor as Chief OF the United
States Forest Service. In his opinion.
Graves met situation which no
other man in the United States. in my
Judgment, could have handled as sue
cessiully as he has done With Pro
fcssor Graves al the helm the service
has retained its spirit unimpaircd The
very serious attacks which We're being
made upon il by men who should have
been the frs, 10 protect it were defeat
cd, and the service as a whole has
come through tho trial period Of the
last year just as strong as when I was
removed"
1t appears from this statement. made
by Mr.. Pinchot himself, that the For
estry Service Of the Government lost
nothing whatsoever by his retirement.
The only criticism We would make
| about what AIR. Pinchot has said of
his successor is contained in the rencc-
I"tion which he makes upon himself in
I he words, Just as strong as when |
was removed" We do not think this i,
quite true. Nj. Pinchot, if We are not
greatly mistaken. in effect ..rcmove,l''

as to terms. We are glad he has
found, after years retirement from
the Government service. that the work

been carried on with him

1t would be practica bic as The Times

say because Of the long trip by the

ming OF automobiles it Will require
TO make the run from Richmond to
Norfolk and the slower the better
because there will be SO much on the

not as a speedway for auto cars There
