made jealous and patriotic appeal
to the people Of this country to stand

Ashland, attracted by the promised

they had heard so much. Some, 1t Is

was hold-up. first at the White House
and then ON Capitol Hill, the President
showing the way down Pennsylvania
avenue. And another charge is that he
was too easy mark; that had he re-
sisted and stood out for inquiry and ar
bltration the threatened strike would not
have been called.
In Maine, where the Presidents friends
sought to capitalize this transaction, the
voters refused to accept the explanation
offered for the President. They decided
that he had played four hundred thou
sand people against hundred million
people, and in doing SO administered
blow at principle which roots deeply
in our national scheme of existence.
Hitherto labor had won all of it's con
tests through arbitration. And so the
two questions: Why did the four
brotherhoods refuse arbitration in this
case! and why did the President fail to
insist upon a principle SO generally
accepted and approved both by capital
and by labor, and so essential to the
preservation of the interests Of the pub
lic9
The Presidents reply should increase
curiosity. and very likely will give Mr..
Hughes additional points for argument
on the stump.

to the men who are thus brought into
the fight, many of them against their
will and all Of them against their per
SINAI interests. 1t is unfair to the en-
ployers of these men, who have salts
fed their requirements and are giving
them work Oh profitable conditions. 1t
is unfair to the public in that it disturbs
trade along many lines without any re-
lation, as far as the people are con
cerned, to the traction strike.
Already business men of Manhattan
are preparing to institute proceedings
for criminal conspiracy against those
who have brought about these sympathy
strikes. 1t assuredly follows that if the
directors of a corporation are liable to
prosecution for combining with others
to bring about certain trade conditions
unfavorable to the public, for the rails
ing of prices or the regulation of sup
plies, those who combine to bring about
stoppage of business upon which the
public depends for its accommodation
and even for its security are equally
liable. The New York strike may result
in some vitality important court proceed
ings.

The Sympathy Strike.

A sympathy strike Of unmeasured pro-
portions appears to be assured as re-
suit of the tie-up on the elevated, sub
way and surface lines Of New York. The
Central Federated Union Of that city has
adopted resolution. equivalent to a
strike order, calling out $4,000 members
of trades somewhat allied to tho street
railway workers. This resolution. it IL
understood, is but preliminary to the
calling ont Of the remainder Of the $780,
900 organized workers Of the city. Mean
while all union workers are enjoined to
boycott the traction lines.
1t was hoped that the injustice and
unfairness Of sympathy strike would
be so apparent to the leaders of labor
in New York that they would abstain
from their move in that direction. They
have, however, evidently determined to
throw their full strength into the fight
to compel the unlimited recognition of
the union by the traction companies. by
enlisting thousands Of workers whose
right TO organize is now recognized by
their employers, who have no grievances
Of their own, but who are by force Of
resolutions adopted at meetings, per-
haps packed, compelled to stop work as
q token Of "sympsthy."

An Ideal Armor Plant Site,

1t is stated that the Secretary of the
Navy has been impressed with the argu-
ment in behalf of Washington as a site
| for the projected naval armor plate
plant. and will include this city, with
| Alexandria, among those which call for
special investigation as promising the
| most advantages for this purpose Wash
ington welcomes such scrutiny Its
substantial factors 1t is within close
| range of the soft coal fields, the lime
stone region. the iron mills and the sea-
| 1t has ample transportation facilities,
| with wide opportunity for their extern
sion. 1t can receive raw materials as
cheaply, if given fair rates, as any other
seaboard city. 1t can ship its products
by rail or water as readily as any other
One of the chief advantages Of Wash
ington in this respect is the fact that
it lies Immediately within the range of
the Navy Department. under which an
| armor plant will operate. Supervision is
thereby rendered most efficient This
has been amply proved in the case of
the naval gun factory, which has been
successful in large measure because of
the proximity to headquarters.
The physical conditions in this region
are all conducive to successful opera
ton of the plant. The conditions under
which the operatives will live are IDEAL
The experience of the government at the
gun foundry and of the steel plant at
Giesboro Point in this respect prove that
it is easier to organize and hold com
petent force here than elsewhere. There
are no disturbing local political condi-
tons Workmen are content with their
environment.
Washington is as safe from possible
attack by foreign enemy as any other
city at which a great naval establish
ment could be conveniently and appro-
| priate1y located It is as secure as
Philadelphia, or Camden, N. j., or Bal
timore or Richmond. The defenses that
render those places reasonably immune
from assault apply with full strength to
Washington.
When the test of inspection is ap-
piled Washington is confident that it
will meet all requirements. If the &C.
lection is based strictly upon merit, with
out political considerations, the Capital
should be chosen.

The Passing Season,

When the 18th of September has pass
has gone and the autumn has come. AS
if to emphasize the transition yesterday
brought cool snap that gave finish
ing touch to the straw hat and made
crate fires comfortable this morning, and
turned the thoughts of the householders
to negotiations with the coal dealers.
Washington has had fairly comfort
able summer True, there have been hot
days-days when the air burned, when
existence was uncomfortable But every
other city has had such days, even the
northern cities. In truth, Washington
has probably had fewer dangerously hot
days during the past three months than
other cities, owing to the conditions
which here give the dweller an advan-
tage, the wide streets, the numerous
lack of congestion.
1t is habit with some to remember
only the heat and to declare that the
summer has been uncomfortable, whereas,
in fact, there were probably many more
cool, pleasant days than hot ones. Again
and again during the past season there
were days which caused all humanity to
rejoice days of clean air and clear skies.
health giving days without flaw. Those
are the ones to remember. not the ex-
ceptionsl ones Of intense heat that was
quickly moderated by breezes.
The autumn should be welcomed, not
as relief from bad time, but as a
change to a different condition. 1t is
the season of fruition, of gardening. Ma
ture is beginning to rest after the siren
uous e1ertions of the summer In a
short time the trees will begin to show
touches of color as the frost reaches
the sap and paints pictures. Every sea
son has its delights, and that which is
now beginning is rich in comforts and
pleasures.
