yersal strike. calculated to paralyZe the
functions of government. is one OF It's
favorite agencies. Thus the present cor
lierv strike was fomentcd by SyndlcallSts
because il was seen that general con
strike wOuld mean something IKE UNI
versal interruption Of industry
The object of Syndicalst strikes Is not
however. simply TO improve the coIlu'-
lions Of labor, to increase wages OF 10
shorten days. but rather 10 enforce Ine
nrinciple that the state or society OF
somebody owes every man Il living A.
cordingly. the hours Of labor are 10 De
shortened so as to make 1t Impossible TOT
the nresent number Of men 10 90 the
vorl; which needs 10 be done. mat 81
course. will neCeSSitate the employment
Of more men. and that process IS 10 De
continued until all men are employed.
Meantime. there Is to be no decrease OF
wages on account Of shortened hours ana
lessened efficiency. For example, II
million men are now engaged in mining,
and by working eight hours day are
able TO produce just enough coal 10 meet
the demand. and there are million more
men who are out Of work, the SyndlcaIlst
demand is that the million now at work
eight hours shall he reduced to only four
hours a day, at the same wages when
they now receive for eight and that the
other million shall he set at work at the
same wages for the other four hours
day. That would double the number OF
laborcrs and double the wage cost OF
production. hut would not In the least IN
crease the volume Of production.
Such. in brief, appear To be the aims
of Syndicalism. which are To be attained
not by Parliamentary means but through
more or less violent agitations. strikes
and the Indictment Of class warfare ana
mutiny against governmental authority.
II has fourishcd. if indeed 1t did not
have its origin. in n widespread disap-
noIntmcnt at the failure of the Parlia-
mcntary Labor party promptly to fuIiil
MI its promises and achieve all its pur-
| noses. II has TO contend with the de-
sircs and ambitions Of Labor leaders
especially Socialists. to enter ParIia'
ment. But It has already demonstrated
its ability to create a disturbance OF the
industrial and social system sufficient
to warrant something like the formal
consideration which it Is proposed to give
| il in the House Of Commons.

NEW FACTORY LEGISLATION

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: You state that eighteen bills are he
fore the Legislature. providing for stricter
factory legislation These bills will affect
the majority of the nine million residents OF
this state. so I hope there will be hearing
before any OF them are reported.
on February 81 bill to make the tene-
ment house law apply to apartment houses
was introduced, and by means OF an emer-
rency message II reached the Governor In
six working days, without notice TO the
parties interested. This measure anected
perhaps 1900, 100000 worth of property In
New York City, and yet the owners and
agents of the apartment houses did not
have the opportunity of being heard!
Every real estate man knows that 1t is a
great hardship to apply the tenement house
regulations TO first class apartment houses.
for suites of rooms in such buildings can
not be rented unless they are In perfect
condition, and these rich tenants can take
care of themselves. Every rght-minded
nerson will admit that some of the eighteen
hills 10 amend the factory laws are de-
sirable. but II is only fair to give the own
org and agents OF buildings used as fac
tories an opportunity 10 be heard In opposi-
ton before these bills are rushed to the
Governor | do not think that any reader
nj The Tribune favors either snap or rush
legislation. Therefore. | suggest an extra
session, on ten days notice, for factory
legislation only. Then something will be
done, and with fair publicity.

SyNDICALISN

One Of the most disquieting details OF
the present labor upheaval in the United
Kingdom is the appearance of new
factor known by the somewhat indef-
mite and unilluminating name of Syndi-
calism. That word, which might mean
almost anything, has in fact a particd-
larry definite and ominous significance
50 much so that a resolution has been
placed on the calendar of the House of
Commons for consideration as the first
item Of business tomorrow night to the
effect that in the opinion of the House
the growth and advocacy Of the policy
Of Syndicalism constitute grave dan
ger to the state and TO the welfare Of
the community.
Syndicalism may perhaps he we'll de-
scribed as bearing the same relation Ia
the Labor party that the Physical Force
faction in Ireland bore years ago TO the
Parliamentary Home Rule party. Ii is
opposed TO Parliamentary action and to
a Parliamentary Labor party. 1t is con-
Sequently opposed 10 the Socialist party.
Its policy is TO act by cXtra-Parlamcn-
tary If not extra-lesal means. The uni

A SupGTannuated Hercules.

As far as history relates this country
is the only one in which college
professor, after applying for a pension
provided for the superanuated, sudden
ly changed front and asked to be
placed at the head Of a government
carrying vast responsibilities and head,
ing the list Of nations in expansive
development. Prof Wilson few
years ago felt sufficiently advanced in
age to appeal TO the trustees OF the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment Of Teaching, an institution dat
ing from 1906 and endowed with SIS
100000 by the man most prominent
in starting the steel trust. In request
ing this retiring allowance Prof. Wilson
must have thought it was time TO be
old, 10 take in sail, TO turn from a life
OF action to one Of contemplation, to
settle down to the slippered pantaloon,
rendered less lean by the bounty Of
the well-known ironmaster.
For technical reasons the pension
was not granted. So Prof. Wilson, in
stead Of going into the twilight Of the
superannuated, decided to run for
president Of the United States. What
does Prof, Osler think about that?
The facts are material for a weird tale
Of magic rather than one Of sober fact
connected with the year 1912. II
Prof. Wilson himself decided some
time ago that he was entitled to 20 on
the retired list, fortified with a Car
negie pension, is he quite sure now
that he is fitted to be the chief magis-
trate Of l0O,000,00C Americans, COM
mander in chief Of the army and navy
Of the United States, invested with
many other weighty constitutional
functions, and with congress on his
hands also? The story Of Prof. Will

Selling AlpleS.

The state board OF horticulture ex-
poets to continue the work begun last
year Of helping apple growers to find
buyers for their crop. Many growers
were materially benefited through the
efforts Of the board last year, although
the work was taken up quite late in the
autumn. 1t is the purpose Of the board
through its secretary TO keep list OF
all growers who desire assistance, and
to try to induce buyers to 60 into those
districts where apples are TO be had.
Any grower who desires this aid has
only TO write TO the secretarya al Colum'
bia, stating quality and number OF bar
rels or acres he has for sale, and every
thing possible will be done TO find a
buyer for the crop. Those having
small orchards are particularly urged to
take advantage Of this opportunity, as
the only expense to them will be the
cost Of writing TO the secretary's Office.
