Justice for Workers the Best Policy

His guarantee to "make men" out Of ali Sing
Sing inmates by the operation Of the working
conditions put into effect by his company is about
as strong declaration of belief in himself and
his methods as Henry Ford could have given to
the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations.
This automobile maker, who presented to an as
tonished country its most sensational proft-shar-
ing scheme, calls his ideal condition social JUS
tice" The burden of his testimony is not greatly
different from that Of Daniel Guggenheim, just
as the trend of the Ford company's performances
in social work is similar to what Mr. Guggenheim
has tried TO do for his men. The two men are
entirely in accord in holding that workers deserve
more of the product of their labor than they have
been receiving, that they will do more work and
better work if they have money to pay for better
living conditions, and that 20 better workers in
Gvdually betters the community.
Mr.. Fords testimony about the striking results
of the proft-sharing and social service work in
his factories ought to be an incentive TO other
large employers Of labor TO follow his example.
That much can be done without any excursions
into the realm Of applied socialism through state
employment, health and old-age pensions and the
other remedies which Mr.. Guggenheim discussed.
There is no question that employers are studying
these questions seriously Gust as are empoyes)
and not alone from the purely selfish point of
view Of increasing output through increased eff
cheney of workers and so of Increasing profits.
However, that is as certain to follow shorter
hours and higher pay for employees as anything
can be certain in the business world On that
score alone, what Mr.. Ford calls justice for work
ers should be the best policy.

HELPING GERMANY
A Reader Cannot See How This Nation
Can Do So.
Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: can see very well how Ger
man or one who sympathizes prlnci-
pally with the Germans can want our
government to buy German or any
other vessels and send freight or any
and all goods, either contrabsnd or
otherwise. 10 such ports that they will
eventually find their way 10 Germany.
But | do not see how any good Amer
lean citizen who is a lover OF Chris
tianity and desires this war TO cease
at an early date can wish TO have any
freight OF any kind sent to Germany or
10 such ports that il will eventually
reach Germany, because any or all
such help given the Germans must GER
tainly tend to prolong this cruel, out
rageous and wholly unnecessary war,
which the English, Belgians and French
must necessarily fight TO a finish 70
save their lives and protect civiliza-
ton.
II a decent American would not do
this, how can our government in de-
cency and honor lend its aid in amy
way TO buying vessels or shipping
freight OF any kind which will event
ually reach Germany and so help TO
prolong this war? This is a kind OF
neutrality that ! cannot see as decent
or honorable or that can be done in
spirit of Christianity.

A Debt Due the Life Saving Service

The House of Representatives. has recognized
the admirable work of the Life Saving Service by
passing bill consolidating that service with the
Revenue Cutter Service and giving the life savers
the benefit Of better pay schedule and Of retire
ment allowances. 1t is to be hoped that the Sen
ate will find time to concur in the Houses action.
No federal service has better record for heroic
performance of duty than the life saving corps,
which for the greater part Of the year works
under the most trying conditions, for long hours
and for very small pay
Discipline and faithfulness are the rule with
this splendid body of men. The increasing eff
cheney of the service is shown in the fact that the
ratio Of lives lost to the number of persons aboard
wrecked vessels decreased from ! TO 10 in 1890 to
to 207 in 1912 The present rate of pay for surf
men-$65 months extremely low, considering
the labor and risk attaching to this arduous pro
fession Congress should discharge dett Of
gratitude to the Life Saving Service which is long
overdue.

Matrimonial Warfare.

Marriage is the latest institution to be added
to the list Of "wars that never end" Mr.. Justice
Crane, of Brooklyn, who has a pleasant and
courageous liking for the root of things. re-
marked to couple seeking separation: Most
married people quarrel There is nothing I'M
usual about that"
An obvious truism, frank veterans will say.
Yet how much bather has been wasted in up
holding contrary view! How many young souls
have been surprised and grieved at the astonish-
ing discovery that matrimOny did not abolish hu-
man nature and that hot tempers survived the
hottest VOWS, No well regulated melodrama IS
complete without crackly old couple who have
Tived together nigh onto eighty year without
cross word" And for the sentimentalists life
has pretended to the same whopping lie.
We hope the refreshing truth spoken by Justice
Crane will have its deserts The workable old
institution of marriage is still doing very well,
thank you, and it will do even better if the
maudin nonsense can be knocked out of it. The
meodramatic notion Of it belongs with the old
fashioned view Of heaven as a place where saints
sit about and play harps. Life is life, after mar
rage as before and may we all thank our stars
that Il is.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE STRUGGLE
No Peace Until Germany Has Been
Democratized.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The viewpoints of the great
oversee contest are not yet exhausted.
Perhaps the following may add to
them:
Is il not a fact that the common peo-
pie Of Europe are getting just what
was coming TO them? When the peo-
pie let the soldier, the priest and the
politician do all of their thinking for
them, have they any excuse, tor crying
when the logical consequence hurts
them? II the European people did
their own thinking, realized their own
human relations and obligations ana
obliged their soldiers and governors to
serve instead of dictate the common
needs and wishes even as they par
TALLY do in America would they now
be suffering such awful punishment for
their folly?
Another thing: Should We not con-
denim the foolish crying for peace at
any price from behind our Atlantic
bulwark? The wisest men of England
in all their anxiety of death and raw
age, have nerved themselves TO the de-
mand that the war shall not stop until
Germany at least is democratlZed and
its people have taken their destiny and
tQelf relations Win the NOllu nv
their own hands. France and England
could and would agree TO work with a
German republic for disarmament and
an honest arbitration, while the speed
with which the new sobered Russia is
fitting itself to work with them for the
same purpose is one OF the great social
phenomena of the time.
To make peace now with Germany

and caste arrogance. contempt for hu-
man. life and its dependence upon ter

neighbors would be as great folly as il

any-price advocates preserve slavery
ty the old policy of cowardly COM
promise TO the present time.
