had been averted. That the failure VIII
cause any loss of prestige is, however
not probable, since it is generally recog-
nized that the composing OF INDUSTRIAL
dissensions is work Of benevolehce
rather than a duty Of the government
for the failure of which it cannot be
blamed Political effect will, however,
be produced by the further steps wnlcn
are now forecast. If Parliament, at the
instance OF the government, enacts a
minimum wages law, 1t will be doing one
Of the most radical things ever attempted
in industrial and economic legislation.
It can undoubtedly do 1t If 1t wishes.
But whether the doing so would on the
whole strengthen or weaken the govern
ment party in popular esteem Is by no
means certain.

MORE "SEDITION."

OF the laws regulating automobile speed

Mayor intimating that its activities
along that line are "seditiOus." since
they lend support to the theory that New

ranked with the trouble hunters and

The lax watch kept for viOlatOrs Of the
Callan law is fully justified by the shock
ing total of accidents caused in this city
by reckless driving during the last
month
According TO the record Of the Ma

automobiles killed II persons and in
iured 81 in our streets in February.
That is too high a toll TO pay to obvious
negligence on the part Of incompetent
drivers and unobseryant policemen.
Were the average New Yorker who goes
about the streets afOOt not convinced
that eternal vigilance was the price OF
immunity and so accustomed to view
the average automobile steerer as only
less dangerous than a burglar with a
pistol or Black Hand operator with
bomb, our monthly death list from auto
mobile accidents would probably mount
into the hundreds. AS it is, women and
children are the chief victims Of reckless
driving, and it is altogether appropriate
that the Federation of WOmen's Clubs
should take the lead in warning upon a
peril from which the weaker elements
in the community are necessarily dis
proportionate sufferers.
The Callan law contains a wise pro-
vision requiring the driver of an auto
mobile TO slow down when approaching
a street crossing at which a surface car
Is discharging passengers. Passengers
usually alight facing ahead, and so are
especially subject to injury from an auto
rushing up from behind. But how fire.
