CREDIT GIVEN FOR
STRIKE SETTLEMENT
Newman and Blackman Named by
Labor Department.

Commissioner Oliver p. Newman and
Conciliator William Blackman are given
credit by the Department of Labor for
the settlement OF the recent car strike
In Washington.
The credit Is bestowed by the depart
ment In a supecial report in which eN-
pcrts haev compiled the causes Of the
strike. circumstances leading up to the
presentation of the demands to the two
local traction companies. and the terms
of the settlement agreed upon by the
conferees.
The experts have figured that. al
though the wage scale of the Wash
inGton Railway and Electric Company
was from 22,l cents to % cents an hour,
1t actually averaged from 22le to ?5K
cents an hour. including the profit
sharing plan.
They also assert that while the Capt.
tai Traction Company maintained a nat
wage scale of 221s cents an hour, the
bonus paid employees brought the aver
age up to 21.S to 25.S cents an hour.
The new wage scale on both lines,
under the strike settlement agreement,
Is 23h to q cents an hour.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company has already discontinued
its profit-sharing plan. The Capital

they're not represented as madder

important in gown or q hat, why

IL they're made so.
It took long time for the manu-

shoe possibilities properly analysed;
but they certainly have succeeded
latterly; and, as usual, the women
get the benefit. Men are still wear

Prices of mems shoes have gone

THR SUSSEX: MURDER PROM
AMBUSH

There has not been a word in thu
dispatches thus far to indicate
whether the British packet Sussex
sent to the bottom by torpedo, was
armed. Nor is It very importan,
whether she was; the Germans
would be acclaiming their respon.
siblity for the deed IL they were
able to prove that she was armed
Evidently they do not know she
was armed. She was torpedoed
without warning, and American
lives were probably lost. The case
is peculiarly aggravating, if reports
shall be borne out by further de-
velopments.
1t is testified by a Belgian gentle
man who was a passenger that
the submarine was not seen, because
she was screened by a ship that
bore the name Of Nieuport XIX.
This, it is explained, was a Bel
gian vessel that the Germans
had seized and were using, in its
character Of neutral, for this pur-
pose.
Thus the Sussex case presents
some new aggravations. There was
no warning; the submarine used the
cover of merchant ship as an am
bush. Americans were on board,
and some of them were sacrificed.
Altogether, in view Of the acute
state of the submarine issue with
Germany, it would appear that this
case brings affairs nearer than ever
to the point of the diplomatic i'm
passe.
Since the opening Of the new Ger
man campaign against merchant
men, it has been made apparent
that it is not a campaign against
armed, but against all merchant
men; not a campaign against mer-
chantmen of belligerents, but against
merchantmen of belligerents and
neutrals alike. Dutch, Swedish,
Danish, and Norwegian vessels, at
least, have been attacked. There
is no logical reason why an Ameri-
can vessel should not be. Seemingly
any vessel in the waters nf the "war
zone" is regarded as probably en-
gagged in commerce advantageous to
the allies; and that constitutes all
the justification that the new Ger
man policy requires for destroying
it without warning or safety.
We shall, therefore, probably see,
before long-some more diplomatic
correspondence between Washington
and Berlin!
The Washington times., 1916-03-27
NOT. ARMED BUT ALL SHIPS
SUBMARINE TARGETS

Our State Department has re.
ceived from the allies a refusal to
take up with this Government the
negotiation of a modus vivendi in
regard to armed merchantmen. But
II they were willing to debate the
subject with our State Department
there wouldn't be any sense in going
on with it. The thing for us to
do is to drop it and forget it; for
the real question just now, on the
submarine record itself, isn't armed
merchantmen. That's a pretense
it's a fraud.
The problem as yet isn't the tor
pedoing Of armed merchantmen. II
isn't the torpedoing of belligerent
merchantmen. The problem is the
torpedoing of unarmed merchant
men--neutral merchantmen.
What's the use of talking or
thinking about Strengthening out
this matter of armed merchantmen
Of belligerents when every day the
cables bring US reports of the delib-
crate torpedoing, without any notice
whatsoever, without the slightest
regard for the property, the rights,
and the lives of neutral noncombat-
ants?
Now it's Dutch ship, again it's a
Danish ship, next time it's a. Nor
wegian ship, some other time it's a
Swedish ship. Nothing like that
makes the slightest difference to the
submarine. 1t doesn't care whether
the ship is armed or not. 1t doesn't
care whether the ship is under bel
ligerent flag or under neutral flag.
1t doesn't care what or who is in the
ship. 1t just let's drive and tor
pedoes the ship.
Before we. waste any more time.
or ask the allies, or expect any of
the neutral powers possessing mer-
chant marines to waste any more of
their time on determining the status
OF the armed merchantmen, specify
ing what constitutes offensive or de-
fensive armament, we'd better settle
the question of what rights under
heaven a noncombatant, a neutral
man, woman, or child--in his own
ship, under his own flag, has in the
presence OF run-amuck submarine.

RECORD PRICES OF FOOTWEAR

Shoes are going up. One NAV OBJ
serve the evidence, IN the case OIL
women's shoes, by looking over the
afternoon parade in the shopping
district. They are getting higher.
perhaps to keep in speaking distance
OF the skirts.
But 1t isn't this phase of the mat
ter that gives particular concern to
manufacturers, dealers, and buyers.
It's the upward tendency of the
price. The ladies' boots especially
are going up in cost as well as
otherwise, and the variation in their
colors is getting more and more
picturesque.
From Broadway comes TIE assur-
ance that smart dealers in the white
light district carry lines of women's
shoes nowadays that sell as high as
$S5 the pair, and that it really isn't
much of a shoe that gets under SIS
NOT If one would be really well
dressed. Oddly enough, too, the dear
things pay the prices and don't
seem peeved about them.
Come to think of it, there is no
reason why shoes should so long
have been regarded as rather stand
ardized in price and style. Why
should a shoe be merely a shoe,
while a hat may be anything from
$1.75 to $175-and then some--on
occasion? Why shouldn't there be

Radio Waves DETECTED

COLUMBUS, N. M, Match a.
Enormous ore deposits in the noun =
tains o: northern Mexico have been
responsible for much of the trouble
experienced with the army wireless
apparatus. according to the BELIEF of
army operators here.
They say that ore. acting as mag
net, defects the radio waves, thus
weakening the capacity of both The
sending and receiving stations.
II Is said also that the receiyinp q
instruments at the Casas Grandes sta :
