ARBITRATION THE THING.

The trolley strike in Holyoke lasted
but eight and a half days, but in that
time it is estimated on a conservative
basis that the loss sustained by the
men, the business houses, the company
and the public in general Is not less
than s125, 200.
1t was a most sensible action which
was taken when the dispute was sub
mitted to arbitration. That is the
course which should have been taken
at the very start before the large item
Of losses was rolled up. 1t is but a
small part of the amount which actu-
ally falls upon the strikers, their
wages for that period being figured at
s4,250, but as is always the case, it
is the public who must bear the bur
den. They are the innocent sufferers
both as to money and inconvenience,
and unfortunately they are the last to
be considered at such a time.
There is qualification. however, in
the evident appreciation of the worth
of arbitration. 1t is the one sound and
sensible method for getting down to
the real facts in the matter and the
settlement of the difficulties in accord
| ance Herewith. The resort thereto in
stead of depending upon force shows
the trend of the times and the quicker
| the time comes when 1t will be adopted
at the outset of such disputes the bet
ter 1t will be for all concerned. Rea-
son should prevail In such matters as
well as in everything else and the
| sooner this is recognized the sooner
| will industrial strife cease, and the
| imposition upon the public end.

German Textile Industry,

Since the importation of textile raw
materials into Germany has been al
most entirely stopped, the army au-
thorities have perfected a plan or
economic schedule. by the terms of
which the textile industry of Germany
will be regulated and controlled 1t
has been worked out with q careful
consideration of the supplies of tex
tiles now on hand and with a view to
making them last as long as possible
This is to be accomplished, in part
by forbidding for the time being the
production of luxuries, and suiting
production Of all other articles to the
supply on hand Such a regulation in
connection with cotton goods already
exists and is working well.
No general prohibition of textile
production has been laid down, but the
list OF articles which may be made has
been restricted so far as possible to the
absolutely necessary-as for Instance
personal and bed linen, clothes and
Innings. 1t is also stipulated what kind
OF material these things may be made
OF. the coarser being substituted fol
the finer heretofore In use Also the
use of cotton is to be enlarged some
what so that the list Of textiles may
be accordingly circumscribed.
Regulation OF wool production is also
in prospect, probably differing some
what from the rules governing cotton
but IN any event prescribing what
kinds OF wooden maybe used for given
articles.
A restriction Of the fax ana hemr
industry Is also planned
Army contracts are not to be gov.
erned by any Of the new rules. Those
who have already made contracts with
the military or naval authorities may
carry them out whether or not the
production Of the articles in question
is forbidden.

cult to understand
That five OF the seven who were first
to have charges preferred against

many others against whom suspicion

shows how unjust were some Of the
charges, but when the Investigators
recommend that the inquiry be con-

the evidence submitted has brought

A BLOT ON GEORGIA.

By the lynching of Leo Frank, Geor-
gia has added another to the many
disgraceful exhibitions of disregard for
law and order which have taken place
within its borders. 1t is all the more
glazing because of the facts which sur
round the case and the manifest de-
termination of the mob that the life
of Frank must be taken regardless of
the doubt which existed concerning his
guilt.
The people Of Georgia are respon-
sible for this deplorable state of af-
fairs. Lynchings are by no means new
in that commonwealth. They have
existed there through a long period
of time without public opinion rising
to the point which would put an end
thereto by the seeking out and pun
ishment of the participants.
The lynching of Frank was one of
the things which the authorities of
that state should have made impos-
sible. 1t has been evident ever since
Governor Slaton saw the injustice OF
the proposed execution of the man and
COMMITTED his sentence that a certain
element at least in that state was not
satisfied. 1t was manifested in the
attacks upon the governor and later in
the murderous assault upon Frank in
the prison. These instances were suf-
f1cient to have secured for Frank the
best protection possible and such thai
would have been adequate to have
overcome the organized effort which
resulted in his murder.
The lynching of Frank is a blot
upon Georgia which it will have diff
fculty in removing and the authorities
of that state should never rest content
until the participants have beer
brought to the bar of justice.

THE WAR PRIMER
BY National Geographic Society

wilma is one of the most important
immediate detectives OF the Teutonic
drives in Russia, for it's capture and
retention by the Germans would not
only threaten the communication Of
the Tsar's armies, but would also
cripple the second line of Russian de-
Tense. along the Bug, or the Brest
Litovsk line. The holding Of Wilma
would practically cut the northern
communications of the powerful fort
ress and military entrepot upon the
Bug, and bring with it a more start
ling change in the eastern campaign
than even the capture OF Warsaw. A
description Of this important railway,
trading and manufacturing city Is
given in a statement on war geogra-
ply issued today by the National Geo
graphic society. 1t reads:
''Vidna is a city Of 10000, an in
dustrial and trade center, situated in
the midst of a region of tangled for
ests, almost impossible marshes, and
low-lying lakes at the intersection Of
the railways from Warsaw to Petro-
grad and from Libau. the Baltic port,
to Rostof, at the mouth of the DON
1t lies nearly midway between the cit
les OF Grodno and Dvinsk, the other
points upon the Warsaw Petrograd
railway threatened by the German
invaders Petrograd lies 436 miles
away to the north-northwest of VII
na- and the country in between is a
| labyrinth of lake, morass, woodland
and wet meadowland. 1t is more than
ITO miles from the German frontier,

which fact its appearance bears every
testimony. for its irregular ground

NEEDED,

Although the efforts Of Secretary Of
Commerce Reddeld to probe into the
facts surrounding the capsizing Of the
steamer Eastland with such a great
loss of life were curtailed at Chicago
there appears to be no reason why
he cannot fulfill the promise which ne
has made in his report upon that in
vestigation that there will be a search
ing inquiry into the whole admfnistra-
ton Of the steamboat inspection ser
vice. It must be generally recognized
as needed.
When the General Slocum was burn
ed in New York some years ago there
were revealed frightfu1 conditions con-
corning which there was little suspi-
cion. The disclosure resulted in steps
being taken which resulted in a COM
plete and much needed revision of
the service which the inspectors were
supposed to render but which was
glaringly neglected. That concerned
the equipment OF the vessels with
proper appliances for safeguarding the
lives of the passengers and the sea-
worthiness of vessels. It was a ter
rife price to pay for the securing of
this service which the government de-
partment was supposed to render and
it Is an equally high price which has
been exacted from the people Of Chi
cago in bringing attention to the high
degree of inattention which is given
to the method of constructing vessels
which are intended for passenger traf-
fc.
Nothing but gross negligence could
have resulted In such a disaster as
| shocked the whole country and even
| though 1t is late it points the way to
a much needed reform. AS in the case
| of the General Slocum the public
should be protected against any more
Eastlands.

Stopping Exports to Holland.

l Diligent efforts are being made to
restrict the export, via the Rhine into
Holland, of the fruits that grow so
plentifully along the great river. Dutch
merchants, it has been established,
have been taking out of Germany
great quantities of cherries and ber-
ries. which it Is suspected are shipped
on farther to England.
Local fruit merchants have Just
stumbled upon the fact that contracts
already exist under which the best of
the late fruit has been sold to Dutch
men. The quantity is greater than
all Holland would need or use. This
fact, along with the fact that England
always has imported German fruit,
leads to the conviction that Germany S
enemy is still being fed by German
fruit.
