A NEEDLESS LABOR WAR

The acts of violence at Lawrence.
Massachusetts, last week were the in
evitable accomplishments to the evil
practice OF applying the methods of
war instead of those of Cancellation to
labor problems. Lawrence would not
have seen riots in her streets, nor
would 1t have been found necessary to
repulse raging mobs at the point of the
bayonet, had the question at issue
been calmly considered by an adequate

A GOVERNOR AND TWO COLONIES

In lonely places, where people have
not much of Importance to talk about
they talk about one another. And, as
rule, what they say is not very
agreeable A stranger who had. fol-
lowed the course of political discus
sion in the newspapers last week
would have reason for imagining that
the United States was a very lonely
place. The chief subject of political
discussion seemed to be what Colonel
Watterson said that Governor Wilson
said to Colonel Harvey about what
Colonel Harvey had been saying about
Governor Wilson, and the manner
which Colonel Watterson, ascribed to
Governor Wilson when he made his re-
mark to Colonel Harvey. This seems to
have RELOCATED the discussion of the
revision of the tariff, the presidents

the question as to the proper regula-
ton of trusts, and other such cues
tons to position of secondary i'm
portance. 1t seems that .Harper's
Weekly" which is generally supposed
to be an independent paper with Re-
publican antecedents, has been urg-
ing upon the Democratic party it's re-
commentator that that party nomin-
ate for the presidency Governor Wood

nation, "Harpers Weekly" dropped it's

In the Louisville "Courier-Journal," OF
which he Is the editor, issued state
ment as witness OF the interview be-
tween Governor Wilson and Colonel
Harvey, editor of "Harper's Weekly"
In this statement Colonel Watterson
assures the public that nothing dis
courteous or unfriendly passed during
the interview, although Colonel Wat
terson undertakes to characterize Gov
ernor Wilson's manner as austere. The
one important fact that Colonel Wat
terson states is that the initiative did
not come from Governor Wilson In
deed, Colonel Watterson himself, ac-
cording to his own statement suggest
ed that Colonel Harvey ought to mo-
derate his advocacy of Governor Will
son; and at this particular interview,
according to Colonel Watterson's own
statement, it was Colonel Harvey who
put the direct question to Governor
Wilson whether the support of 'Har-
per's Weekly was doing him an in
jury When Governor Wilson gave
his answer, Colonel Harvey, according
to the other Colonel, was grievously
wounded" In the light Of these two
statements by the two Colonies, it is
difficult to see why Governor Wilson
should be, as he has been, accused of
ingratitude. One the published state
ments of facts, there is nothing in Gov
ernor Wilson's course that is incom-
patible with sense of gratitude to a
friend and appreciation of his SER
vices. If Colonel Harvey did not want
his question answered, he should not
have asked it; and since he did ask it,
it is scarcely fair for him to give the
impression that Governor Wilson
made a statement" rather than an
swered question. The delight with
which certain Democrats, as we'll as
have welcomed this Incl
dent as an injury to Governor Wilson's
is a measure of the impress
sion which Governor Wilson has made
on the American people as progress
sive leader-The Outlook.

A WARNING TO CUBA.

Cuba, like the United States, has be-
fore 1t a presidential campaign There,
as here, politics rise at such a time to
a high point of excitement. 1t might
be wished that the coming campaign
in Cuba should be fought out on re-
cognized issues relating to the future
progress and advance of the country
1.-THE abolition Of the national lottery
ought to be one such issue), but it
must be confessed that at present the
be personal or ultimately to revolve
about questions as to who should hold
the offices. The present fierce quarrel
is not between Liberals and Conserva-
tives, but between President Gomez,
himself Liberal, and the radical sec
ton of his own party, who are dissat-
isfied with his disposition of the Of
fees, and who declare also that his
administration has been marked by
greed and tainted by fraud. In parti-
cular, the veterans of the war with
Spain complain that he has allowed
men to hold offices who were guer-
rlllas or were Spanish in sentiment
during the war, and that he has done
this contrary to law. They demand al
so that more offices be given to veter-
ans, that the preference in their favor
recognized by law should be more full
ly observed, and that army officers be
forbidden to take part in active poll
the Liberal party into two factions
one led by Gomez and one by DR..
Zayes-no longer exists. The factions
were reconciled before the presidential
election Of 1908 by recognized under
standing that DR.. Zayas should be vice
president under Gomez and the party's
candidate for president at the next
election. Nevertheless, it is now gen
orally believed that Gomez will again
be the candidate for president. The
cause for the remOnstrance of last
week by our government was the viru-
lent denunciation of President Gomez
by the veterans association Appar-
emily the authorities of Washington
were convinced that there was actual
and serious peril in the present situa-
ton. Our relations with Cuba made it
perfectly right for us to issue such a
remonstrance on proper occasions, and
1t may well be that this warning of
possible intervention will restrain the
agitators from violent measures. On
the other hand, it may be pointed out
that 1t is bad policy for the United
States to make threats of intervention
too often or without the graves cause.
To act otherwise might either precipi- |
tate quite unnecessary intervention,
or, on the other hand, weaken the eff
feet of remonstrance on our side. And
1T must also be remembered that Ian
guage that may sound revolutionary at
distance may not really indicate |
pressing danger, for the Cubans are
given, under political excitement, to
fiery and threatening words. President
Gomez has small but efficient army
at his command, and has declared his
perfect ability to maintain order and
enforce the law.-The Outlook.

Board OF Cancellation and Arbitration.
Under the law OF New Zealand a strike
would have been impossible until after
the capitalists and workmen had sub
mitted the question at issue; and if
either had refused to do so, or to abide
by the decision, the law provides ade-
quate punishment. Under the less
stringent law of Canada every possible
incentive would have been offered to
the contending parties to present their
case. In Massachusetts the Board Of
Cancellation offered it's services, but
not, as we understand it, until the war
was on. The mill-workers promptly
agreed to submit their side of the case
the mill-owners declined to do So Eff
forts to come to terms are now being
made by the two hostile forces. How
ever these may result, it is regrettable
that the whole matter has nots been
laid before the Board of Cancellation,
for principles and questions are in
volved of more than local or temper
airy significance. A new state law had
reduced the week of the mill en-
ployees from fifty-six to fifty-four
hours each. At the time of an earlier
reduction from fifty-eight to fifty-six
hours the mill-owners had continued
the wages at the former rate, but at
the last reduction the mill-owners re-
fused to pay their men the same
amount for fifty-four-hour week as
they had paid for fifty-six-hour week.
Thereupon the men went on strike,
and, after going out, they enlarged
their demands to include an increase
of fifteen per cent in wages from the
old sum and demanded other conces-
sions. The two points of view are OBJ
vious. The mill-owners feel that they
ought not to pay the same amount as
before for reduced amount of work;
the wage-earners, on the other hand,
hold that the entire purpose of the
people of the state in advocating and
passing the law was not to reduce
what the men considered their already
insufficient wage, but to establish a
work-day which shall be in time rea-
sonable and humane. Here is a SER
ious question, with much to be urged
on each side. 1t may at least be fairly
asked whether, when the state estab-
fishes hours of labor, it should not also
keep controlling hand on the adjust
ment of wages to the new situation.
But the matter of highest public mo-
ment is that such questions should be
settled before there is precipitated a
bitter conflict, involving great loss of
money, great waste of time and labor.
often continued suffering to the work
men, and involving Also in town fill |
ed with fifty thousand workers and
their sympathizers, deplorable yio-
lence. 1t is equally certain that the
state and city are to be upheld in their
sharp and stringent checking of vio- |
lent demonstrations. When the Italian
flag-bearer at the head of the mill
workers procession shouted to the Of
icer of the militia, "The American flag
can go anywhere" that officer did the
1t and right thing in first ordering his |
nen to salute the flag, and then or
lering them to fix bayonets to enforce
ais orders.-The Outlook.
