STRIKERS START A RIOT
Pickets Greet Workmen With Hail of
Bricks and Stones.

Youngstown. Ohio. Jan. because
of strike rioting at the plant of the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube company,
Sheriff J. c. Umstead telegraphed to
Governor Willis today to inquire
whether state troops were available in
case they are needed to preserve order.
The sheriff at noon, however, ex-
pressed the belief he would not need
the troops.
Rioting occurred here early today
in connection with the strike at the
plant of the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube company III East Youngstown.
One man was injured. Strike pickets
refused to permit workmen to enter
the plant. Those who attempted it
were greeted with showers of cobble-
stones, bricks and clubs. Street cars
were stopped, workmen on board
dragged off and placed on cars going
in opposite directions. Stones were
thrown through car windows.
Today it was reported that a con-
siderable quantity of fuse had been
stolen from a stone quarry near the
steel plant and officials fear dyna-
miting may be attempted. The strike
forces have grown to 5000.

The Teutonic Warning.

1t now appears fairly obvious that information
impaired to the Washington government in ad-
vance of formal notification, of the intention of
Germany and Austria to sink armed merchantmen
Of enemy nations without warning inspired the ef-
forts OF Secretary Lansing to bring about agree
ment among the belligerents that unarmed mer-
chant ships not attempting to escape from subma-
rines should not be destroyed.
Considering what has been the fate of scores
of their unarmed vessels in the past, and the
present status of the Lustana negotiations. it
may be taken for granted that the allies will not
undertake to remove all guns from their merchants.
men nor to order them to heave to at sight Of a
submarine. They will no doubt prefer to depend
upon their Of defense rather than upon
Teutonic promises
The outcome promises to be the disclosure of
how much diplomatic representations had to
do with the abandonment of submarine atrocities,
and how much credit the ships OF the allies are
entitled to for the protection OF the lives of inno-
cent women and children on the high seas.
There is every reason to believe that these atroci.
ties have ceased because British waters have been
made too hot for submarines
If Germany is not simply bluffing but has de-
likely find the allies prepared to capture. destroy
or scatter her undersea boats again But in is.

commander should mistake unarmed vessel

The Washington herald., 1916-02-12


The government won its suit against the Stand
ard OIL and the Tobacco Trusts. The Supreme
Court condemned both of them in unmeasured
terms as being combinations in violation of the
Sherman law. 1t ordered each of them 10 d1soand
SO that normal competition might be restored. The
Supreme Court intended the dissolution of these
trusts to result in restoring conditions in which
independent dealers by the exercise of energy and
ability could hope to succeed even with moder-
ate capital. The court must have had in mind the
condition which President Cleveland expressed in a
message to Congress In 1896, when he said:
| refer to the existence OF trusts and other
huge aggregatons of capital the object of which is
to secure the monopoly of some particular branch
of trade and to stifle wholesome competition
Their tendency is to crush out individual inteli-
gence and to hinder prevent the full use Of
human faculties and the full development of human
character.
The intention of the Supreme Court to restore
normal conditions by the dissolution of these two
trusts was, however, defeated The administration
then in power permitted both of them to dissolve
in most peculiar way. The Standard Oil Trust
was allowed to separate itself into thrty-six diff
ferent companies The capital stock of these conf
panes allowed to remain in the hands of the
same stockholders who had formerly owned the
STOCK OF the trust uSef. moreover, these thirty
six companies each of enormous size. The
result that normal conditions were by no
means restored.
The same thing happened in the dissolution of
the Tobacco Trust. There, too, the admnstra-
tion permitted the trust to be separated into four
major companies and fourteen minor companies
each of them of huge size, and. moreover, permit
ted the capital stock of all of these companies to
remain in the hands of the same stockholders who
formerly owned the stock of the trust itself Again
the result was that normal conditions were by no
means restored. In many branches of the tobacco
industry independent competition is impossible be-
cause of the huge financial size Of the dsintegratcd
trust companies. They are so strong that COM
pcttors with moderate capital cannot compete with
them.
The result of these farcica1 dissolutions was
that storm of protest throughout the
country
The Washington herald., 1916-02-12

The time camo when, early In AprlF
1861 word was sent from Washington TO
the governor of South Carolina that Fort
Sumter would be reinforced and provis-
ioned against seizure. The message was
sent on April 8.
On the 18th fire WAS opened upon the
fort; on the 14th, ere reinforcemsnts
could reach them. Its little garrison sur
rendered.
On the 18th MIR Lincoln called, by proc
lamation, for sevcnty-fye thousand vol

upcn that signal, four more southern
states seeded: Arkansas on the 9Th OF
May, North Carolina on the 10Th. Vir-
ginia on the sd. and Tennessee on the
Sth Of June.
Issue was made up, and all men knew
what it meant-not compromise. but war.
The southern leaders had not at hrst
expected this. They had thought to
bring on a constitutional crisis, but not a
civil war.
They had mes mt at any hazard to make
good their rights under the federal ar
rangement. and had deliberately resorted
to secession because they thought that
better terms could be made out OF the
Union than in II: but they had expected
their opponents at the North to come to
terms.
Their people had followed and upheld
them upon that expectation, and would
not willingly have followed them on any
other. But when the sound OF the guns
at Sumter was heard 1t became at once
another matter.
Tho thrill of a new purpose and pa ssion
shot through the country, north and
south.
1t was with the one side as with the
other. The southern people would not
at the first choice have deliberately set
themselves with open eyes to bring a
war of revolution on: the people of the

right as the men of the South. drew

An Example of Unfairness.

In its zeal to be first in defense of the Presi-
dent, even in advance of any criticism Of his
course which preceded the break in his Cabinet,
the New York World is unfair to Mr.. Garrison
As matter OF fact there is neither reason nor
excuse for an attempt to find fault with either
side: and when the World says that Mr. Garri-
son abruptly deserts the administration and
leaves the country in the lurch,' it gives signs
that the pain caused by a blow at the Democratic
partv has for the time benumbed its sense of ius-
tice 1t has been made clear to every one who
can read and understand that Mr. Garrison re-
signed the office of Secretary of War because he
was not permitted to be the Presidents actual
representative in that office and his own self
respect would not permit him to remain as the
Presidents seeming representative"
Both striving to prepare the nation to de.
fend itself, the President gave his approval to
the plans OF his Secretary Of War, and when
those plans encountered opposition in Congress
he believed it possible to achieve the desired end
BY compromise. When Mr.. Garrison announced
it as his firm belief that compromise meant utter
failure he did not succeed in convincing the Presi-
dent who, in steadfastly following the course
mapped out fer himself. deserted his Secretary
