Sir Thomas Lipton's Nautical Crime"

The experts who have had look at Shamrock "
are one in their establishment. The great Nichol-
son, building under rule expressly designed to
penalize freaks has turned out one Of the most
extraordinary freaks among stable yachts. So run
al. the stories out of Gosport. She is a scow, a
skimming dish, a gravy boat. Her bows are blunt,
her stern chopped off, her sides roll in. \ freak

to these amazed reports.
Further details may modify this description some
what But there seems doubt that Nicholson
has elected TO take a big hazard in designing his
craft and has sought speed at great cost in time

one point of view, for It was ho,ed that good sea-
worthy craft would compete under the new rule
But rules made TO be evaded after all as plenty
OF our designers in the habit of demonstrating
year after year. And no one need ina CINE that
Designer Nicholson has built regardless of the penal
ties in sight An able and imaginative creator, he
has done the bold thing, and can be counted on to
give our best ship a hard race.
Our three defenders are far from freakish Yet
they are of widely vary,.g types, proving for the
thousandth time how eternaily nexact a science is
the technique of yacht designing. The HerreShor

believably tall and narrow rig To the Gardner
craft, the Vanite. of implanted bronze hull must
undoubtedly be awarded the palm for complete
yachtlike grace. All will have their chance TO prove
their looks by their actions and to show whether
an Engshman can drive through Ameri-

For yachtsmen the most important fact is that
the best summer Of yacht racing in the history Of
the sport is in the ofing.

A CRITIC OF THE CHURCHES
The New Testament Gives Him Basis
for Attack.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you kindly permit me a few
words in reply to Eleanor II. Sefton's
answer TO my letter OF the 2Sd. for the
question seems to me Of the utmost i'm
portance, and she quite fails to grasp the
significance OF il.
For example, she characterizes Bouck
White as "a fanatical person." etc, ut
tery overlooking the fact that it is very
evident from the most superficial reading
OF the, New Testament, that this is ex-
actly the way in which the chief priests
and pharisees regarded Christ, and. OF
course they were the church going peo-
pie OF those times. Mind you, am not
defending White, but | think, for the
honor OF Christianity. this matter should
be taken up.
Again, she says that every Christian
sect would welcome Him as He should
be welcomed. If He were reincarnated.
This is very shallow; of course they
would, IL His coming were duly adver-
tised. which she seems TO infer, although
| doubt that His welcome would outlast
renewal of His denunciation of the
scribes and pharisees and the rich men.
But how would it be did He appear as
lie undoubtedly appeared in the temples
and 10 the peoples of his day; an ordinary
workineman, "A carpenter, the leader OF
a little band Of fishermen a "stirrer up
OF the people," preaching a strange doc
trine most unsavory TO those in authority,
How about il, then? That's the question
the Church must answer. or be disgraced
IN the eyes OF thinking people.
Moreover. the lady says that Christ
would never have done anything similar
to " action OF Bouck White That may
be true. but it is impossible for a moment
10 think of the Christ who said Suffer
little children 10 come unto me" regard
ing with complacency the policy OF His
Church being controlled by people who
have looked with indifference upon the
slaughter OF little children, which they
by word could have prevented. or by
men who have wantonly wrecked great
railroad systems to the irreparable loss OF
the traditional widows and orphans To
think this is exactly tho blasphemy with
which the Church is charged. II is use
less for the Church, ostrich-like, 10 en-
deavor TO evade this question, for people
everywhere are asking. As the churches
are exempt from taxation. and We all
therefore have To assume more or less
the burden OF their maintenance, we think
-e have right to ask. In other words,
4 seems 10 me that Bouck White Is not
so much on trial as the churches them

The Dishonest Labor Union Clause

Tho White House defends the labor orgahiznlo''
clause a. the Clayton antitrust bill on the gro'"u
that II does not sanction illegal acts on the part Oh
labor unions. but only their bare existence lhe
original section stood as follows:
That nothing contained in the antitrust laws snaIi
no construed TO forbid the existence ana opeia,ioh
of fraternal labor consumers agricultural or horu-
cultural organizations, orders or associations oPeI

nose Of mutual help and not having captai stock V'
conducted for profit 20 forbid or restrain lnol-
vidual members OF such orders associations from
carrying out the legitimate objects OF such associa
tons.
This was not acceptable to the labor unions Wnat
force do these words add which make the language
now agreed upon acceptable to Mr.. Gompers;
Nor shall such organizations. orders or associa,
lions the members thereof be hein or Gu

trade under the antitrust law!
1t is plain that the addition either does not cnanse
the force of the provision 1t first stood or tnat
IL amounts to a fat prohibition that the labor unions
and similar organizations should ever be enJoined
AS in restraint Of trade, no matter what they do'
The real issue is what the labor Unions are to De
permtted to do No ir-mnded person would WISH
70 have the organization Of labor lie under the ran
Of the law II Is necessary that labor should have
the right 10 organize But we have never believed
that the Sherman law denied that right The courts
never lave so construed II. They have held that u
forbade certain acts Of labor organizations which
undlv interfered with interstate trade, but never
that it forbade the formation Of the organizations
themselves.
The labor leaders have sought TO get the acts
now under the ban OF the law legalized, under the
pretence Of merely legazing organization itself
The question is whether they are about to succeed
in this through the agreement reached with the
Democratic administration Frankly, we do not
know whether they or are not. No one can
tell until the courts have passed upon the tumble
Of vague words ITO which the concession Is cast
The language used is meant to cheat either the
public the labor unions. II it was necessary that
the right to organize should be expressly guaran
teed by law 1t could have been guaranteed In
unmistakabe language. But the last thing which
either side cared TO was unmstakable language.
The labor leaders wanted TO he able to tell their
followers that they had at last won license to do
whatever they choose. The administration wanted
TO be able to tell the public that it had granted
Iothng to organized labor than the harmless
and necessary right to existence, while 1t wanted
the labor voters to believe that a great deal more
had been granted. Both sides to the contract wished
to deceive And it is impossible to acquit the Presi
dent of taking part in the dishonesty

QUESTIONS IN CHURCH
Tremendous Jars Are Prescribed for
the Institution.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: think your correspondent in Sun
DAYS Tribune was wrong in thinking the
church was not a place where questions
could be asked. On the contrary, there is
no place where questions are more in
order than in churches. The people have
a right to inquire about what is being
done and what is being left undone in
these institutions, for they are exempt
from taxation. and We have to help pay
for them by additions TO our own taxes to
cover the deficit.
The church needs tremendous jar 10
arouse II from the condition TO which il
has sunk to-day. few more jars and il
may possibly sit up and take notice of
things going on around and inside of it,

ether members of the Rockefeller church

barrassing questions, and still harder is IL
on the ministers whose efforts 10 make
the church haven of happiness and for
getfulness for these men are interfered
