More Work than Men.

It's a poor factory, however side-tracked
and forgotten, that has not been retur-
bished and is not running double shifts IN
these crowded days. Now even the good
old Noank shipyards come to life. There
on the Connecticut shore, by white, hill
ton town. some of the largest wooden YES
sells. steam and sail, have been built. For
decade the spot has been as idle as
the painted ship upon painted ocean; war
carving rates have at last sent favor
ing breeze, and a Charles w. Morse syndl-
cate has taken over the famous old prop
erty with promise of new equipment and
keels of steel as well as wood to be laid.
Meanwhile the cry for men goes up from
every quarter. The commuter with his un-
planted garden finds an echo In such an
appeal as emanates from the once placid
clam-digging town of Patchogue on the
South Shore of Long Island, now nothing
less than hive of the knit-goods industry.
It's Board Of Trade has sent broadcast
throughout the country an appeal for a
hundred families. Work for all the mem
bers of the families is guaranteed. And 1t
is safe to say that the wages will be at the
usual ascending war scale. The old sched-
ules will not attract workers nowadays
much less keep them.
What will happen when crop-movlng
time arrives it is hard to conceive. Casual
outdoor labor is making poor appeal
against the steady high wage of the muni-
ton factory and war contract shop. The
farmers will have to bid high. Their lot
promises to be only little less happy than
that Of the fixed salary clerk who sees the
cost of everything advancing and only the
nav check standing still.

Get a Man for Leader.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Much time and space were recently de-
voted by a New York daily in an endeavor &c
demonstrate that Justice Hughes could with
propriety" accept the nomination for Presi-
dent ridicu!ously unimportant question
it seemed to me.
At this critical time can the American peo-
pie afford to consider Justice Hughes p
possible Chief Executive? What do we know
of Justice Hughes TO recommend him for our
leader 1T this time? On the vital questions
Of the hour preparedness for national dc
fence, maintenance Of national honor, the
canker of pacifism has Justice Hughes eX-
pressed an opinion?
With the civilization OF the white races tot
tering in Europe our country to-day is cor
fronted by greater dangers to its continued
existence as a nation than it has ever befora
faced. and needs. as was never needed before.

awakening to find after the choice has been
made that the "Sphinx-like silence appar-

conclusion of the present war. assuming that
the Allies are victorious, what disposition
will the Central Powers make Of their vast
armies? / have frequently asked this ques-
tion, and the usual answer is: "Oh. they will
be so tired Of war they will be glad to lay
down their arms and 90 back to the plough

in the issues than in the candidate in the
next campaign. 1t would cheerfully sup
port Mr.. Hughes on platform OF Ameri-
canism as it has supported Colonel Roose-
welt for the nomination because he alone
has steadily and squarely championed the
principles and fought for the doctrines
which The Tribune holds vital in the pres
ent hour. But The Tribune regards 1T as
plain and real peril that there should be
even the prospect that the Republican
party's nominee may be a man selected
in advance by the Hyphenates and, up to
the moment he had obtained the nomina-
ton. silent on the question of chief i'm
portance before the nation.
Many months ago this newspaper ex-
pressed its conviction that it would be
better that Mr.. Wilson should be reelected
unanimously than that any alien element
should establish the doctrine in American
public life that an American Presiden.
could be punished because he failed to &C
cept alien dictation. This view The Trib-
une still holds. Because it held this view
it long ago called upon Justice Hughes, in
these columns, to make plain his views, that
the situation which has now arrived might
be avoided.
Mr.. Justice Hughes may be nominated
if he preserves his silence. He may even
as he seems to believe, obtain the nominG-
ton more easily if he fails to make any
declaration which will convince Amer
leans and German-Americans that he
does not purpose to serve Berlin in Wash
ington, nor to accept Potsdam dictation
while in the White House. But will this
nomination have the same value it would
have if the American electorate felt thar
it had to deal with a candidate whose ac-
ton had demonstrated that he placed a
principle above personal ambition or judi
cial precedent?

An Imprudent Prophecy.

It is no great wonder that Mr.. Balfour's
letter to the Mayors Of Lowestoft and Var
mouth is interpreted in Germany as "an
attempt to produce calm" among dwelers
on the east coast of England, and ulti-
mately as evidence of the great uneasi-
ness Of the British population His an
nouncemont, as il has already been OBJ
served seemed 10 imply q concession Ia
popular clamor. After the first naval
bombardment in the winter Of 1914, the
Admiralty stood firmly against any modi-
ication Of the naval policy hitherto pur-
sued with such manifest success. The
people in and about Scarborough and the
/ Hartlepools had, not unnaturally, eXhib.
tied considerable anxiety and even indig-
nation. Where was the British feet at the
time? How was it possible that an in
ferior enemy could with impunity insult
the English coast? What did control OF
the sea mean if such things were possible?
/ These were some of the questions put by
the outraged inhabitants of East Anglia
but the Admiralty very wisely refused to
be moved by them. and let it be under
stood that no changes in the disposition of
/ the naval forces could by any means be
considered.
1t is natural, therefore. that the First
| Lords public assurance that naval forces
including submarines and monitors, are
now guarding the coast, and that attempts
Of this sort will be henceforth far more
perious to the aggressors," should be re-
garded in Germany as, in effect, an ad
mission that the raiders have forced the
| British Admiralty TO devise new plans of
defence. After the first two attacks II
was commonly conjectured that one of the
/ objects of the Germans was TO create q
popular panic, and thus TO force a change
in the naval dispositions; and, however
that may be, there is at least justification
/ for the belief that such a change has been
forced
Mr.. Balfour, indeed. explains that Brit
aims maritime position has improved,
and that accordingly it is possible to pro.
vide further defence Of the threatened
coast without in any manner weakening
the Grand Fleet. If, however, additional
protection was provided in response to a
local demand, there is no saying where
the changes will end, and it is significant
that an urgent appeal from Scarborough
has already elected the official assurance
that the reform applies to the whole Of
/ the east coast

Starving the Garment Workers.

When they ordered the lockout of their
employes the cloak and suit manufactur-
ers declared that they were smashing the
agreement under which they had been
working and substituting violence for arbl-
tration ON a question of principle. Now
that they have abandoned the lockout and
are inviting their former workmen to re-
turn, they demonstrate that 1t was merely
a question of eXpediency. The proof lies
in the fact that evictions have become fire.
ouent. that the strikers treasury is sadly
depleted. that actual suffering and want
among the workers families are TO be
found on every side, that committee OF
citizens. knowing this, is seeking funds
from the public to help these sufferers.
The manufacturers calculate that they
have about starved out their former em-
ployes and are, in effect, winners OF the
fight
In that they arc mistaken. The issue be-
tween the employers and workers remains
inst where it was; and the issue between
EMPLOYERS. workers and the public remains
lust where it was. The employers dellb-
eratclv violated an agreement which they
had signed, and which still had year to
run. and abandoned the arbitration of dis
nuted questions to which they had pledged
themselves. They can only have the sup
port of any right-thnking member OF the
public, which pays for all industrial dis
putes, when they give up that false posi-
tior and show themselves willing to renew
arbitration instead of persisting IN "
vicious. wasteful almost criminal trial OF
strength with the workers.
The removal of the lockout order IS
meant 70 breed dissension in the union, to
weaken if. and to enable the manufactur-
ers. by employing "scab labor and seces-
sionists from the union, TO do a little bust
ness in preparation for their busiest sea
son. II is almost inevitable that the at
tempt to open the shops will produce vio-
Ilcnce. rioting, all the evils attendant on use
Of strike-breakers. This the community
must suffer because the latest protocol was
treated by the manufacturers as scrap
of paper" But the general public cannot
be expected to suffer it without feeling
keenly the misfortune of having one of the
largest industries in the country controlled
by a group of men with so little public
spirit. so little sense Of what is due to their
own employees and the community at large
in this present era as those responsible for
the present misfortune.

"DAlRY MAN X"

Inc report Of the state epidemologist
at Newton where an epidemic of ty-
pnold has been in progress attributes
the epidemic to contaminated milk bot
ties distributed along a milk route by
'.Dairyman X"
In algebra * is the unknown guam
tity. So Dairyman X' is the unknown
dalryman. No doubt in Newton they
| now know who Dairyman X" is. Bu,
there are without any doubt hundreds
Of Dairymen KS" scattered over the
state who need only the cooperation
of the Eberth bacillus to start an cpl
demic of typhoid.
Aren't they all 'Dairymen Xs?"
What do We know of, the conditions
about the barns and milkhouses and
neighborhood of the dairyman who
supplies us with the daily milk? Are
those premises inspected by capable
persons in authority? If so, what do
they find? Did you ever drive out to
the dairy and look it over for your
self? Is there any report on file or pub
lished that you can look over and sat
isfy yourself? How does the milk
man sterilze his bottles? Where does
he get water? How close is the water
supply to the barn and the outhouses?
What do you know about the milk that
comes into your home except as to
whether the cream rises thick or thin
on it? And in the light Of the Newton
incident. which is common incident
in the history of typhoid. hadn't you
ought to know something more? The
guardianship Of the water supply is, an
important responsibility. And it is
first only as a carrier of contagion.
The milk supply ranks next.
All the epidemologist can do is to
tell where epidemics come from. He
can't make laws and ordinances and
see that they are adhered to. That's
the business of those who buy milk
and desire safety and the business of
those who have the health of cities
and communities in official charge.
