Flags as Symbols.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | read with interest your article OF
July 3 upon Bouck White and the cause
which brought him to jail; and upon fair
consideration 7 believe the authorities were
in error that his intentions are not proper

is no crime, and the dangers from his teach
ings are somewhat exaggerated.
I read newspaper card a short time ago
from conservative writer and therein he de-
fined patriotism as "a misconception of the
importance Of territorial lines"
When John A. Dix during the Civil War
issued the famous order, "If any one hauls
down the American flag shoot him on the
spot" it received the approval of every loyal
supporter of the government. The mere
hauling down Of flag is not capital offence,
or even a crime. II is the intent with which
it may be hauled down treason which is
and should be punishable with death.
The flag is but a symbol, and the destruc-
ton Of the material of which it is composed
is not treason, though it may be made so
By the manner of its disposal. symbolic

driven by necessity to preparedness and

Wanted: A New National Song.

national song which will adequately
express. the spirit of America 1t is a
curious comment upon American democ-

nation stands for a popular ideal unique
among the nations we have no national

merits may compare with the "Marseil-

Willing to Arbitrate.
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir Your editorial entitled "Arbitrate 4"
appearing in the issue of July 4, is mislead-
ing in that il does not discriminate between
manufacturers.
As is well known. the Protective Associa-
ton, consisting of some four hundred mem
bers declared "a lockout in April. and in re-
taliation the union called a general strike
against all the manufacturers in New York
and the surrounding country upon much the
same strategic principle that Germany in
ysded Belgium, and thus struck at neutrals
IN order TO hurt their enemies.
The Mutual Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manu-
facturers' Association has tried bv every
means to effect an arrangement with the
union, so far without success. The members
OF this association did not lock out their
work people. but on the contrary were struck
against by the union. We have appealed 70
the Mayor. 20 the citizens committee and to
other bodies
Why this effort 10 make the public think
that all manufacturers are members of the
Protective Association
II II was such an outrage for the Pro,ec.
tive Association TO refuse 10 arbitrate with
the union, how is it any less an outrage for
the union TO refuse to arbtrate with the
Mutual Association?
Since you so insistently urge arbitration
OIL the Protective Association, WHY should Won
not equally insistently urge it upon the
union?
ask you 70 publish this letter with a
view to showing that there is an organiza-
ton Of manufacturers willing to abide by the
terms o. a public arbitration, and who have
gone so far as to offer to leave their inter
ests in the hands OF any number of the rem
tlemen whose names appear on the list o.

United States needed great statesman

need is most urgent in this crisis Of th2
worlds history.
Nobody disputes that President Wilson is
honest We all know that he is amiable

his instability in being brought more than
once needessly TO the verge OF war that
would never have threatened had the Presi-
dent been man Of greater irmness and reso-
luton and foresight. The President did well

cerned he vas in a fighting mood But II
ne had been in that mood little more than
. year ago the Lusitania would never have
been sunk, nor would any of the other out

the American people since then.
We need n President whose wisdom and

stationary character. The trouble with this
Administration is that its foreign policies
have been too much mere transaction in

The Foolish Shipping Bill.

II really is becoming joke. Here is the
Administration bending all its energies, us
ing all its influence. 10 induce the Senate to
accept it's shipping bill because there is such
a dearth of vessel capacity and rates are so
high. while vessel owners are running around
seeking cargoes and cutting rates right and
left when possible cargoes appear in sight.
A few days ago "The Express" called at
tention TO the fact that there was lot of
space offered at rates between fifth and a
half of what they had been, and the outlook
was that there would be an increase in avail
able tonnage. with even lower rates. Reports
now show more tonnage and further reduc-
tions in carrying charges. II is true that no
one knows how long this situation will last.
IL may end IN a few weeks or il may run
through the entire summer or longer. But
whether 1t ends next month or six months
hence the lesson is the same, in so far as
he Administration government ownership
scheme is concerned. II there can be such a
quick increase in free tonnage and such a
slump In rates In the midst Of war. what
will come when peace is restored? Hundreds
Of vessels which are now engaged solely in
the transport Of war supplies and hundreds
Of vessels which are interned, and thus taken
entirely out of the carrying trade. will be
Immediately released LOT general use. IL Will
then be case of hunting hard for cargoes,
and. OF course. the harder the vessel owner
has to hunt. the lower will go his carrying
rate.
Can the Administration have the hardihood
20 continue 20 urge that the government be
thrust into the shipping business with such
an indication before II OF what will come
after the war? Can the Senate be induced TO
support il in such a foolish course If it does
persist in demanding government ownership

Jobs Hunting Workers.

No greater contrast to employment con
ditions two years ago could be shown than
in the statement of the manager Of the
BROOKLYN branch of the State Employment
Bureau to the State Industrial Commits
sion. In June his establishment found
employment for 1873 persons, and could
have placed many more. There is urgent
need for skilled mechanics in almos. every
trade. for laborers to do heavy work in
factories. for male clerks and stenogra-
piers and, Just now, for kitchen workers
in summer hotels. In fact, it is now case
of the Jobs hunting the worker, where only
eighteen months ago the Mayors Commit
tee on Unemployment was endeavoring to
find Jobs for thousands Of eager applicants
and relief committees were busy keeping
life in the bodies of those who by no posi-
biity could find employment.
This condition is true throughout the
state and in other states. In Pcnnsyl-
vanls. for instance, farm labor is so diff
cult TO obtain that schoolboys who want
country vacations and some practical In
struction in "back to the farm lore find
no difficulty in landing jobs. Our West
farmhands can obtain So day and board
and the farmers are eager to get them on
those terms.
Just how much of this prosperity is due
to war business no one can determine with
any accuracy. 1t is significant that moth
ing resembling general demand for
workers occurred until after the war be
gan. and II is pertinent that some busl-
