PANTS CROP WILL BE SHORT,

10000 Men Go Out In New York.
largely Curaailing Output.
New York. July 13.-Ten thousand
men who make trousers went on
strike yesterday. According to an Of
ficial OF Amalgamated Garment Work
ers of America this means reduction
lin the output of 100000 pairs of
trousers a day.
The troubles of the pantsmakers are
entirely separate from those of the
In er a t o nal Carmen Workers
Union. II the threatened strike Of
operatives In the latter organization
develops a dearth of women's clothes
will result, but both employers and
employees were hopeful tonight that
this would be averted Much con-
Ifidence is placed in the Mayors con-
Citation board, which meets tomor-
row
There is less optimism among the
manufacturers OF mems garments and
the operatives. There seemed pros.
poets tonight that within few days
the strike which started today might
spread to all workers on mems
clothes, and even evade. though not
to a great extent. the realm of work
ers on women's clothing. In that case
approximately $4,000 persons would
be affected, divided approximately as
follows: 1900 pantsmakers. $4,000
coatmakers. $4,000 makers Of chill
dren's garmens, $500 cutters and 81
900 dressmakers.

can be learned, the young lady was not

The report Of the Council 1nvesti-
eating Committee presented last night
70 the Board of Aldermen is q great
victory for the cause of morality in
Richmond 1t presents the official ver-
diet OF men who sat In long and
4 thorough deifberation on the vital
questions OF civic interest involved Id
the administration of the police de-
parfment of Richmond and its atu-
tude towards law enforcement. The
report is certainly not the least that
could be expected, as it is not the
most that might be desired. But II
il a report that has the two cardinal
virtues Of placing responsibility de-
fnitely and Of offering constructive
legislation to remedy conditions that
have not been in the past such as the
city had a right TO expect, did expect,
and will demand for the future.
No feature of the report Is more re-
markahie than the absolutely COM
plete manner In which Is corresponds
TO The virginian's exclusive outlines
of It's contents. No feature. that ia,
unless II be the equally remarkable
manner In which the report conforms
to the suggestions OF The virginian
from time to time as to what should
be done. Moro OF this anon---~but for
the present 1t suffices to say that with
one very small exception the report,
while it does not contain all the meas
ures suggested by this paper. con-
tains none The virginian has not adj
vocated.
The report of the committee is OF
such q nature. is founded on such con-
siderations. and carries recommended
tions of such far-reaching import. as
TO demand the earnest consideration
of the members of the Council. The
virginian does not see how there can
well be strong opposition TO the re-
port. for the logic of its conclusions Is
inevitable. That men should be re-
tanned in ONCE who have been guilty
OF the grossest personal misconduct,
who have interferred with the en-.
forcement of the, law. directly or In
directly: or who have been so care
less in their conduct as to be not above
censure for official and personal
actions, is upthinkable. The commit
tee deals quite Ieniently in only re-
guessing designations
The virginian thinks the city win
I realize why it is necessary and proper
TO censure the Mayor. the Chief of
Police, and the whole department,
when it was manifestly evident not
only in the investig CATION of this COM
miftee. but in the report of the Vice
Commission and In general knowledge
before that report, that neither the
law nor regulations were enforced.

THE SINGLE TERM PLANK.

There has been SO much discussion
az the single term plank In the Demo
cratic platform adopted at Baltimore
thnat IL Is well to recall just what thai
plank declares. The Raleigh News ant
Observer quotes the plank. which Is al
follows:
I'VE favor a single Presidential
term, and to that end urge the
adoption of an amendment to the
Constitution making the Presi-
dent OF the United States ineligible
to reelection. and we pledge the
candidate OF this convention to
this principle"
The Raleigh paper then comments:
at is not possible to divide the
y plank into parts as one may de-
sire but the entire plank, which
ID In one sentence, must be taken
I ~ whole. The plank states that
single term IL favored. that an
amendment to the Constitution
4 should direct this. and that the
Baltimore nominee Is pledged to
the principle. What principle? A

SIGNAL VICTORY FOR MORALITY.

We recommend to the very careful
consideration of those who are seek
Ing to secure changes In the charter
of the city, the recommendations of
the committee in regard to the police
department. The recommendations
for a single police Commissioners. for
branch police stations. for the three
platoon system. and matters of u
similar nature, are necessary for the
better discipling of the city. All Of
them The Nirginian approves, and
congratulates the committee for cham
pioning them.
A word for the committee itself
is not amiss. 1t is difficult for men
of many ties. both personal and Of
ficial. to pass calmly and dispassion-
ately, without prejudice. on the
actions of fellow officers. The very
fact that this report to the Council IS
a report made under such conditions,
demands for 1t. the respect of every
citizen. 1t does not impugn the sin
cerity, the good intentions. nor the
ability of the investigating committee
TO state that it was natural to expect
that the committee might be inclined
to pass lightly over the misdemeanors
of public officials. provided the men,
bers consulted only their personal
/ feelings. That the report Is of such
strength under the conditions, makes
| 1t unquestionable that 1t represents
THE wise course Of action for the city.
Although the committee declares that
| II did not in the strictest sense act as a
court, IL did observe the rules of a
court and the rules OF evidence. On
! this basis 1t arrived at its conclusions.
Thus both because Of what might have
been supposed to be the preconceived
leaning of its members, and because
of rae procedure through which II
came TO its conclusions the investi-
eating committees report, we do not
hesitate TO declare. marks very
signal victory for moral and civic bet.
