Will MIR. McAdoo Resign?

The rumor that Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo intends to resign

to crop out with significant persist.
ency. To be exact, there are two diff
ferent rumors afoat One is that Mr..
McAdoo proposes to quit politics and
the public service altogether and &c
into business in New York. His place
in the Cabinet, in that case, it is said,
will be taken by Assistant Secretary
Hamlin, of Boston; and it is perhaps
more than a coincidence that the re-
port emanates from Mr.. Hamlin's
home town, Boston.
The second version is that Mr.. Nc
Adoo is constantly in touch with Al
bany, to which place the report of his
possible retirement can be traced. 1t
is to the effect that in case Mr.. Mitchell
is elected Mayor of Greater New York
Mr.. McAdoo will run for the United
States Senatorship.

ready brought about the signing of a
convention among the European coun-
tries prohibiting night work of women
in industrial establishments, and def
mite steps have been taken toward eff
fecting an international agreement pro-
viding for ten-hour maximum work
ing day for women and young persons
France, Great Britain, Germany, and
Switzerland already have in substance
adopted the ten-hour day. and it is the
object of the International Association
to bring other countries to enact SINH
lar legislation and to unite all by an
international agreement.
The fact that Federal jurisdiction
in this coSIntry does not extend to the
internal affairs of the States makes II
practically impossible for the United
States to be nSfty to such an agree
ment. This is a situation not provided
for in our constitutional system. We
should, however, take notice of the
spirit of the movement, and our States
should enter into an interstate agree
ment to improve the conditions of the
working classes. 1t should not be con-
fined merely to hours of employment,
but to wages, accidents, insurance, and
general conditions of labor. The labor
ing class must move upward in a mass
if it is to rise permanently. Unions
can help, but universal legislation is the
only effective remedy. Our States
should face this condition squarely and
take steps toward making effective the
public sentiment in favor of uniform
labor laws.

An Obstacle to Improving Labor Con
- ditions.

Those upon whom the responsibility
for the direction of industry falls in
America and Europe find frequently a
strange conflict between the necessi-
ties of our competitive society and
their humanitarian feelings. They find
at times that the ferceness of compe-
tition requires them TO oppose move
ments for the welfare of their work
men; it is not because they are not in
sympathy with such efforts, but be-
cause they believe that they win in
crease the cost of production and put
them at a fatal disadvantage in the
industrial struggle with rivals who do
not adopt measures for ameliorating
the conditions of employment in their
factories. They claim in the United
States, for example, that it is unfair
to permit a manufacturer in one State
to run his factory only fifty-four hours
week when his rival in the same busi-
ness IN another State may run his fac
tory hfty-six to sixty hours per week.
. They claim that they have to sell in
the same markets and that laws should
not make the conditions of production
unfair. From the capitalists point of
view there is much truth in this con-
tention, in spite of the statements that
all movements for the Improvement of
labor increase efficiency and benefit the
employer indirectly. This difficulty has
been also recognized in the COMPETE
tion between the countries of Europe.
Here is situation requiring an in

-seteement. The international Asso-
Cation for Labor Legislation has al

I had opportunity several years ago,
while spending a day or two at Con-
cord. Mass, Thoreau's home, to confirm
by visible demonstration Thoreau's state
ment that he was a pencil-maker upon
earth. I had made acquaintance with
James Gull, a citizen, who, while he
never knew Thoreau-he went to Concord
to live about three years after Thoreau's
death, in 1Ss2-became well acquainted
with Thoreau's sister Sophia
This sister. at the time Of her death,
about fourteen years after the death
of Thordeau, was the surviving menu
Der of the entire family. She discovered
that Mr.. Gull vas fond Of talking with
her about his books and his haunts, his
personal habits and his hermit life by
Walden pond.
I asked MT Gull II he had ever spoken
to Sophia Thoreau about her brothers
work as a pencil-maker
"Oh, yes he replied. many times.
She once told me that her brother was
regarded by the merchants OF Boston,
who sold his pencils. as the most expert
maker of leal pencils in the world. She
furthermore told me that her father had
discovered a process of making lead pen
ellis by using preparation OF graphite.
and that the process was a secret In the
family. All of them used to busy them
selves at times, and their father con-
stsntly. in the manufacture OF lead PEN
ellis"
asked Mr.. Gull IL Thoreau's sister
had ever told him why, after Thoreau's
fathers death. they practically gave up
the lead pencil manufacture. In reply
he said: Yes, she told me that the
business Of making lead pencils by hand
had been ruined through the introduction
OF lead pencils made by machinery. They

Judge Charles A. Prouty.

Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Charles A. Prouty will resign to be-
come Director of the Bureau of Physi-
cal Valuation of Railroads, which high
position is in the gift of the commits
sion. 1t has long been understood that
Judge Prouty would decline reappoint-
,ment as Interstate Commissioner for
the term beginning December, 1914,
when his present term expires. Though
Republican, he was appointed to the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
President Cleveland in 1896 He rep
resented the very highest grade of
ability. and his withdrawal from the
public service would be distinct loss.
The La Toilette plan of ascertaining
the physical valuation never has re-
ceived the enthusiastic Endorsement of
the members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, most of whom have
contended that, in view of changing
circumstances, a physical valuation
could supply no scientific basis for the
assessment of freight rates. Such an
investigation, it has been figured out,
will cost something like $eoooo,ooo and
cannot be completed for a number of
years. The work, at best, can be only
problematical Judge Prouty is the
only member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission who regards the proposed
investigation as great piece of work,
and the rare power of his legal mind
will tend to encourage public conf
dence in the procedure.
The resignation of Judge Prouty will
create vacancy in the membership of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
As he is a New Englander, his place
no doubt will be filled by an Eastern
man. Three men are known to have
aspirations for it Patrick J. Farrell,
of Vermont, chief counsel of the COM
mission, generally is regarded as with
out peer as a transportation lawyer.
David o. Ives, the transportation man
ager of the Boston Chamber of Com
merce, has had large railroad expe-
rience. Martin s. Decker, chairman of
the northern section of the New York
State Public Service Commission, has
seen considerable service in the Offices

sion as assistant secretary of the late
