upon the workers and their union the
responsibility for the disastrous con-
ditions that are bound to follow their
action. They sllege that the union
had been threatening TO strike, with
the closed shop as the issue.
The union for more than a year
has made every concession to avoid
a strike
The unions only demand is that
the manufacturers should carry out
IN good faith the decision Of the
Mayors council of Cancellation. II is
not demanding the closed shop; the
closed shop has never been an issue
during the existence Of the agreement
which the manufacturers association
has recently abrogated.
"Thc present crisis has been ere
ated by the executive committee OF
the manufacturers association in de-
iiAnce Of the board of arbitration. the
Mayors council for Cancellation. the
Mayor himself and Of public interest
The entire responsibility for the suffer
ing that is bound TO follow their action
rests squarely upon the manufactur-
ers."
Union officials insisted yesterday
that they are still willing TO srbi-
trate. Manufacturers association Of
ficals said they would not submit the
question at stake TO arbitration; they
would not recede from their conten-
tion, despite union statements, that
the cruX Of the situation was the
closed shop.
In answer the employers say that
the possession of a union card is all
sufficient evidence 10 them Of union
standing. and il is not their duty to
see whether the holder has paid his
dues.
"The union wants US TO be a col
lection agency for their dues one Of
the employers said. They even have
tried TO force us TO collect the union
dues from the pay envelopes and hand
over to the union Dues are sixteen
cents week We have $4,000 en-
ployes; that would be $4,000 a week
for US to collect for them, to build
up their treasury to fight US with
when they got ready"
Executives of the general strike
committee spent the afternoon in ses-
sion at the Rand School Of Social
Science planning the strike.
Another attempt at Cancellation was
made by Rabbi j. L. Magnes. who tried
to get together conference of the
opposing sides at the Aston, but he
was unsuccessful.

THE CASE AGAINST HUGHES.

The New York World finds four obstacles to
the nomination of Justice Hughes for president
and would evidently like to find forty more OF
them, every one of which was insuperabie. The
first of the Worlds objections is the hypothetl-
cal opposition of the old-line republicans; the
second is Colonel Roosevelt, who seems to want
the nomination for himself The third obstacle,
which the World would have the country con-
slider very serious. is the fact that Justice
Hughes is on the supreme court bench: and the
fourth is the alleged fact that nobody knows
what Mr.. Hughes stands for and that TO elect
him would be leap in the dark.
The concern of the World lest Justice
Hughes receive the nomination is so deep and
real that probably nothing that can be salc
will wholly allav IT. Nevertheless it might be
pointed out that if the justice Is nominated at
Chicago he will Immediately quit the bench and
promptly proceed TO tell the people what he
stands for SO that they viii not be compelled
to leap in the dark. in making choice between
him and President Wilson
So much for those two bugbears, which are
not at all frightful when met face to face As
for bugaboo number one, the presumed prefer
ence of the republican old guard for some 9th
er candidate if it shall prove easier to unite
big majority of the delegates on Justice
Hughes than on any one else, we fancy the old
timers will cheerfully concur and great load
will be lifted from their minds Finally, as for
Colonel Roosevelts opposition, every man OF
every party who aspires to be president must
count on that, and Justice Hughes no less than
anyone else. We are not inclined to imagine
that the obstacles to the nomination OF Justice
Hughes begin to be half as serious as the New
York World wishes that they We're

A PRESENT FOR PASTOR.

Pleasant indeed is it to see brethren, especial
~ brethren of the church, dwelling together IN
amity. Few things are more deplorable than
a flock split into fighting factions; for a pc
culiar acrimony is engendered by such con-
flicts, whether they have grown out of creed
or choir singer, an old pastor new
edifce.
church in New Jersey town has for some
time been divided into camps neither of which
made any secret of it's belief that the other
was the hircinous crowd, and it was all &C
count of their pastor. He had been OF
much note In his day, having been at one time
sued for fifty thousand dollars by an actress
whom he criticized as nbecomingly tempera-
mental But this years ago. He has be-
come an octogenarian since then; and one part
of his flock considered him too old to keep
while the other declared that he was too old to
turu away.
Il seems to happen sometimes when the
stars are all at odds, that times Of dlscord
come upon a church and the members Will
fall to guarreing over almost anything. Per-
haps ii was 80 in the case of the New Jersey
ties; but they came to see at last that their IN
harmony was highly reprehensble and wholly
prcfitless, and gave the ungodly a chance to
grid at them, which is so avidly seized. So
ferences and get their pastor present.
What TO buy him they hardly knew but at
last as a delicate way Of letting him know that
they had resolved to keep him with them to the
end Of his days they bought him pleasant and
well-located cemetery lot. They meant for the
best and considered this a peculiarly appro-
pirate and timely gift, as indeed it was; for it
was tantamountt to telling him that they would
cherish him until his death. They were there
fore surprised and inexpressibly panied to find
that he read into the present meaning they
never dreamed of and took it a suggestion
from his congregation that he numbered the
ground and had better get ready to die
Few things IN life are sadder than to have
admirable motives misinterpreted; and MANY
of us can sympatlize with these excellent
churchmen who were so unappreciative and mis-
understood. AS for the pastor, we must also
make allowances for him If he was disposed
to be trifle peevish at the gift Of this memento
mort and perpetual reminder of the ''pall and
darkness and the narrow house, we must re-
member how different it was with him in the

DYEsTUFFs IN THIS COUNTRY.

According to quite elaborate report on the
dyestuffs condition in this country, published
in Commerce Reports, the situation is greatly
improved as compared with that of two years
ago. According to this authority, about thirty
three companies in the United States, some Of
which are comparatively small, are now occu-
pied with the manufacture of coal tar inter
Imediates for the production of dyes During
the calendar year 1914 the production of syn
thetic dyestuffs amounted to about 1890 short
tons, valued at about S., 900, 600 The importa-
ton Of dyestuffs from Europe for the fiscal
wear 1914 was % 700 short tons, valued at So,
100000.
One of the blocks in the. path of the cloth
manufacturers in this country during the pen
dencv of the European upheaval has been the
threatening aspect of the dyestuffs situation
and it's effect on the turning out of goods here
that stand the test of guarantee and will not
run when placed in contact with water
The fear of adverse conditions in this respect
is now removed, in measure, and the outcome
may be entirely to the satisfaction Of dealer and
consumer in view of the fact that the American
chemist has set his mind in the direction Of
finding way out for the troubled mill men.
It is declared that the recovery of coal tar
crudes from the by product of coke plants has
now been so perfected that the output is more
than sufficient to cover the needs Of a national
color industry The outlook for success is
most promising-providedp protection is offered.
There seems to be growing disposition
among those residents of Keokuk who have an

People do not trespass any more Plants and
flowers are so numerous that there is little
danger for them and the lawn Of the property

more or less of an eyesore. Away with it.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
I think it is the duty Of the people
of this city and every scity in the
United States to assemble in their re-
spective cities and discuss the ques-
ton Of preparedness of this country
for defense under any and all circum-
stances, and not be taken unawares,
as in 1861 and 1898. The people of
the world are stirred up to war. and
we, the richest country and people
