AGREEMENTS MUST BE KEPT

Samuel Gompers today issued a
statement, anent a strike of street
car employees, that deserves to have
the widest circulation. He declares
that agreements between employers
and employees mean just what they
say; mean just as much to the men
as they do to the corporations; and
that the American Federation of
Labor will not sustain union in vio-
lation of an agreement.
This pronouncement was made in
connection with the strike on the
Washington and Old Dominion rail-
road, which serves an important
suburban district in Virginia. On
April z the men struck, and very
shortly an agreement was reached
under which they went back, pending
negotiations for settlement of their
grievances, with arbitration as the
ultimate alternative.
While the negotiations were going
on, the men, yesterday afternoon
struck once more. They charged that

CAPT. BoY-ED's DECORATION

Captain Karl Boyd has been
decorated by Emperor William with
the "Order Of the Red Eagle, third
class, with Swords" according to
advices from Berlin, on account of
meritorious services in America"
- Captain Boy-Ed was naval attache
of the embassy here and was recalled
by his government at the demand Of
President Wilson. The record Of his
services in America" is measur-
ably known here; it was of the sort
that brought the two countries to
the verge Of serious difficulties; it
was utterly and scandalously i'm
proper service for a diplomat to be
giving. His government, in recall
ing him and thus repudiatihg his
doings, must be regarded as in eff
feet admitting all this.
Yet he is now given high honor by
his government.
Berlin has assured Washington
JndI tlc oupihdIilc COiiitHdHucr WIN
torpedoed the Sussex has been ap-
propriately punished. The American
State Department has inquired just
what was done to him; which is a
bit of impertinence perfectly justi-
fed by Berlin's record in such mat
tiers, for Berlin has way of spun
ishing" officers by kicking them up
stairs into better positions.
II is gross violation of decency
for the German government to pre-
tend to disavow the improprieties
of it's agents and then reward those
very agents. II tears down all con-
fidence in German sincerity. It
makes friendly relations more and
! more difficult every time It happens.

LOWERING BAsEBALL's COST

Z Once in a while, anyhow, a neces-
sary of life is reduced in price. Now
it's baseball.
Reducing the top figure for the
American League games in WASH
ington Is in line with what Boston
and Cleveland have done. In Bos-
ton, home Of a world champion team,
It has long been customary to re-
serve large share Of seats for
fancy prices on big days; the num-
Der Of reservations would be less on
ordinary days. The fans, not know
ing what their chances for good
seats would be, became Disguised
and made their protest felt at the
box Office by staying away.
Cleveland had much the same sys-
tenn, and it produced equally bad re-
suits.
These two towns adopted the plan
Of fiat dollar rate at the top; with
reserved seats strictly limited to a
fixed. number save on holidays and
opening days. Good results fol-
lowed, and Washington has got in
line. In Washington the three rows
Of specially reserved seats have sell
dom been filled, but the spectacle Of
these, unused and inviting, never
failed to inspire the hoi polloi with
sentiments Of anarchy. Seventy-five
cents looks reasonable to the grand
stand regulars; they are the people
who support the game, and they are
entitled to as good seats as there are.
They are going to have the privi-
lege Of the front rows at this figure,
il they get there in time. 1t will
prove good business, especially in
view Of the promise that even when
the home team is at the top of the
percentage column there will be no
effort to extract special prices.
More sound finance. The crowd is
expected to support the team when
it's in eighth place; and in this town
has been mighty loyal in that re-
gard. Why not some reciprocity, by
way Of letting the devoted retain
ers in on the good thing at the same
price? We guess il will pay.

Regents Outline Work To Be Done
This Season.

The further Identification Of the
Washington estate at Mt. Vernon is to
be one OF the important features of
the present season on the estate, accord
ing to a decision reached by the men,
Ders Of the board OF regents. now In
session.
The meetings OF the regents are being
held at Mt Vernon and will close today.
Reports have been received OF a num-
Der of gifts and the session this after
noon will be devoted to outlining the
work that Is to be done. Gifts OF money
and OF historic relics have been re-
ceived from a number Of sources during
the year.
The president OF the board OF regents
announced yesterday afternoon the re-
ceipt Of a gift Of 1900 to be used on
the garden and the greenhouses. The
gift IL made in the names of three chii-
dren. and II is the desire Of the donors
that the money shall all be spent in
further identifying the grounds at Mt.
Vernon.

NEW Works. PEACE PARADE

Something like 145,000 New York.
ers, men and women, are marching
today as an appeal for national pre-
paredness. With flags and banners
and patriotic inscriptions Of senti-
ments, they are tramping through
the streets Of the metropolis; a big.
ger force than the regular army of
tina nation.
II is an impressive showing not
only Of the numbers but of the
earnestness Of the people who, insist
that the nation must face, soberly
and understandingly, the crisis that
looms before it. To pretend that
there is, even now, no national dan
ger, is folly; to pretend that that ma
tional danger is not Of the gravest
kind, with instant menace Of involv-
ing us in a foreign war, is sheer
blindness.
This country has been awakening,
in recent weeks, to realization Of
what 1t faces. From every section
come reports which leave no room for
doubt that there Is great apprehen-
sion about the immediate future. It
has taken long-a discouragingly
longtime to get this testimony to
national awakening; but we have it.
Seemingly there is a more ac-
curate realization Of the nations
necessities almost everywhere than
among certain political elements that
are still determined to do the least
possible by way Of making the coun-
try ready for whatever may happen.
The politicians need to take account
of their stock in the national conf
dence. They will find, with a very
little trouble, that the people back
at home are feeling much more
deeply and earnestly than they were
last December, when Congress came
here for its long session. They will
find that this new sentiment is
going to influence people very de-
cidedly in tie coming political cam.
paign. They will learn that the
best patriotism and intellect Of the
country, quite regardless Of sympa.
thies or predictions for any side OF
element in the world war, is fast get.
ting to be a solidarity in favor OF
putting this country in posture to
take care Of itself, whatever may
happen.
The New York parade for pre-
paredness might well be initiated
in the present condition Of public in
terest 1t could be-in every impor'
tant center of the country.

there were undue delays in getting
together, and that the company was
not pressing the negotiations in good
faith. II is unnecessary TO consider,
at this time, the justification for
these charges. The facts seem to be
that postponements were agreed
to on both sides, and that the head
Of the American Federation Of Labor
believes there was entire good faith.
At any rate he has made plain that
organized labor must stand by its
word as punctiliously as organized
employers; and the Old Dominion
employees viii get no aid and comfort
from the federation unless they stand
by their arrangements.
This is proper attitude. The pub
lie, as has been said a good many
times, Is entitled to the first consid-
Grafton in such matters. The COM
munity must have transportation in
order to live; and the interest of
neither employer nor employe Is
paramount to that of the public.
When a labor organization, in recog-
milton Of the public's rights and con-
Germs, enters into an agreement, 1t
must stretch the letter Of that agree
ment, il necessary, in the purpose Of
accommodating the community. II II
declines to do this 1t will lose public
support, and that means certain de-
feat.
Mr.. Gompers has given organized
labor q platform on which it will
win every case it deserves to win.
Efforts to hold up the public, or to
use its necessities as means to black
mail employers, will not win any
thing in the long course Of events.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CONFESS
SION ABOUT NEUTRALs

DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the
German imperial chancellor, may not
have said to an open or to secret
session of the Reichstag what news
dispatches credit him with having
said in regard to the necessity Of
avoiding war with the United States.
But II he did not say it to the Reichs-
tag he must have said it to a private
few several times and he must have
thought it many times. y
II is true that IL the German gov
eminent permitted its submarine
policy to force a breach with the
United States almost inevitably the
other powers which are still neutral
would follow us. It is no more
secret in Berlin than it is in the capt.
tails, of other countries of the Old
World and of the New that both
neutral nations of the Eastern Henri
sphere and neutral nations Of the
Western Hemisphere have been more
eager to come to an issue with Ger
many than this Government has.
It has been all the more extraor-
binary, therefore, that the German
government has been willing to per-
NIT it's submarines to imperil its re-
lations with all the neutral peoples.
For again 1t is true that the subma-
rines have not been able to influence
the course of the war a particle.
They have not been able to starve
out Great Britain, as they set out to
do. They have not been able to dis
courage the shipping of the allies
from traffic with Great Britain,
France, Russia, and Italy. They
have not been able to discourage the
shipping of neutrals from such traf-
fic, although, relatively, neutral ship
ping has suffered more heavily from
submarine lawlessness than belliger-
ent shipping has suffered.
But this submarine policy Of
frightfulness, its principal achieve
ment being merely the murder of
men, women, and children in cold
blood, has stimulated recruiting
throughout the British empire, has
confirmed the allies in their resolve
never, to make peace until they have
smashed the Prussian military ma
chine, has alienated the civilized
world from the central powers and
has brought neutral nations like the
United States, Brazil, Argentina,
Holland, perhaps even Spain and the
Scandinavian countries, to the very
verge Of making the alliance OF
Great Britain, France, Russia, and
Italy world league against the
Teutonic powers.
II has been very madness of the
Prussian militarists that they have
been willing to use their submarines
80 wantonly to shed helpless and in
nocent blood when no possible goo6
could come of such course as a wal
measure and when persistence in il
as brutal provocation Of the wrath
cf humankind would have spelled tn,
