The New York Strike.

The New York traction strike was de-
clared last night affecting the lines of
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany. controlling the subways and the
elevated roads. These lines carry a ma
iority of the people of New York. so
that complete tie-up of service on them
would greatly demoralize the business
interests and cause untold discomfort
and heavy losses to immense numbers of
people. The surface lines of the city,
even if not affected by the strike, could
not possibly care for the traffic ordi-
narilv borne by the overhead and under
ground ears. These lines, however, are
also likely to be tied up, as the strike is
already spreading to them. They were the
ones that were affected by the strike
few weeks ago, which was quickly ad-
justed by conciliators, the mayor and
Oscar Straus.
OF course, the traction company has
prepared to maintain service on the
lines notwithstanding the strike. The
engineers at the power stations have
men and guards have been engaged for
the trains. If this strike follows the
usual course there will be disorders. pos
sibly bloodshed. 1t is virtually inev-
table that a strike should be accom-
panied by violence as the men who quit
work try to persuade" those who take
their places to leave their posts and to
impede the progress of the cars operated
by strikebreakers. An unusual condi-
tion prevailed in the New York strike
in that the lines affected are overhead
and underground, offering novel condi-
tions. 1t would seem comparatively easy
to maintain service on the subways at
least, where the tracks are safeguarded
from invasion. In the case of the ele-
waited, however, there are many posi-
bilities for the interruption of traffic by
the throwing of distractions on the
tracks from buildings along the line
Police provision has been made to
maintain order. for it is realized that
his will be serious struggle unless
settlement is reached within the first
two or three days. The disposition ap-
pears to prevail on both sides to fight
the issue of wage contracts and union
recognition to finish, and in this case
New York will be visited by turmoil
that cannot fail to have disastrous eff
fects. The industrial arbitration prin-
:iple has once more failed.

The School Opening DELAYED.

The postponement of the school open
ing until October is undoubtedly in
the interest of public safety. While
there is at present no imminent dan
ger of local spread of infantile paraly-
sis, the chance exists. and as long as
there is a chance it is unsafe to take
risk. The bringing together of over
5000 children in closely crowded school
rooms. thousands Of them coming from
distant parts where they have been
spending the summer vacation and pos
sibly exposed there to the disease, would
be highly conducive to an outbreak of
this mysterious malady, which, in such
circumstances, could not fail to claim
great numbers of victims. The post
ponement Of the school opening cuts off
a fortnight Of teaching, but the chill
dren's health is Of greater importance
than the two weeks work in the school
rooms. As long as the disease prevails
here the school board is fully justified
in its action Of yesterday, and its course
will be approved heartily by the com
munity.

New York and 1920.

Politics in New York is played with
SO much energy and system aud skill,
players look a long way ahead. Some
of them today are already looking as
far ahead as 1920.
The appeal in behalf of Gov. Whit
man is entirely local He has made. as
his supporters claim, an excellent execu-
tive, and deserves a second term. His
name figures in no speculation about
the presidency. All agree that if Mr..
Hughes is elected he will if he lives. be
renominated Gov Whitman, who as
sisted in his nomination this year. will
assist in his Endorsement then. The
Whitman candidacy, therefore. relates
only to the goyernorship of New York.
The appeal in behalf of Judge Sea
bury is different That has a national
phase. His friends are urging his nomi-
nation, and presently will be urging his
election to the goyernorship partly on
the score that if he is successful he may
prove a strong factor in the presidential
equation four years hence. New York
will retain her Importance in the ma
tional calculations, and the democracy
will aspire then to furnish the party
with its national standard bearer.
The supporting reason is this: If Mr..
Wilson gets his second term he will be
barred in 1920 No matter how strong
he may be at the close. he will have to
step aside The unwritten law against
a third term, and even a nomination for
a third term, holds. Gen. Grant was
denied in 1880, and Mr.. Roosevelt this
year. Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination in
1912 was not by the party which had
given him his two terms in the White
House. And as bolter, seeking to
violate the unwritten law, he was de-
feated.
If Mr. Wilson is reelected President
and Judge Seabury elected governor, a
question may arise as to Mr.. Wilson's
preference in the matter of the White
House succession. The chances will be
as hundred to one that he will try
to name the man. Gen. Jackson named
his successor, and Mr. Roosevelt his
Why should not Mr.. Wilson make an eff
fort to equal those two records, and es-
pecially as in some particulars as an
executive he has been ikened to those
two men'
The Seabury supporters take this into
account, and believe that if their favor
ite Glands" this year along with Mr.
Wilson he will so conduct himself in
Office as Il win Mr.. Wilson's favor, and
therefore, become the Wilson candidate
for President in 1920.
But will this speculation help Judge
Seabury with Tammany Hall, without
whose support he can do nothing now,
and could do nothing then7 Tammany
and the President are not very warmly
attached to each other.
