either owners or workers from render
ing whole hearted service In this de-
partment of national defense work.
We are not advised OF the merits
of the contentious OF the New York
workers. We do not know how much
or how little merit there may be in
the employers contentionj that they
would be ruined by yielding.
We know but one thing-and that
is this-that neither employer nor en-
pioye should place his own financia
interest above the interests of the ma
ton.
Should agreement not BE forthwith
reached we confidently anticipate the
proper exercise OF war powers by the
federal government to the end that
work shall Immediately proceed upon
all ships building for It's service.

THE VALUED CLAUSE.

That is an interesting, though un-
sound, discussion of the fire insur-
ance situation as presented by Mr..
VIM. N. Graydon, whom recently we
have welcomed as new citizen of
Columbia. Mr.. Graydon objects to
the thought of South Carolina being
made to serve the insurance compan-
les. And so would we. But there is
no such danger.
The Record did suggest that Mr..
Manning's recommendations be- taken
on faith. We think it would be
dangerous to have numerous amend
ments offered from the floor of the
general assembly, confusing rather
than clearing the situation. And Mr..
Graydon's letter is the strongest
proof of that. The weakness of Mr..
Graydon's statement consists in his
attack upon the integrity of insur-
ance companies, inferentially class
ing them with offenders before the
law who "bitterly resent the passage
of prohibition laws" With citizens
in that frame of mind, no argument
in behalf of justice to the insurlng
companies can be effective.
The fire insurance company can
not appraise the value Of all risks
when written. This would require
more machinery and would make the
business Improbable. No honest man
will suffer by the repeal of the
valued policy law. A company can
not afford to face public resentment
by making frivilous contests: At the
same time, if there should be a fire
upon which suspicion rests, as to
the generalization of the property,
the company should have some elas-
ticity in making settlements.
A policy is contract, and under
the law the company is bound under
that contract to pay the amount stl-
pulated, even if the named .valuat-
ton be in excess of. the real. The
insuring companies contend in their
justification that they have lost heav-
lily under such conditions.-Coiumbla

Embargo Began July Is

Government control of American
exports, authorized in a provision Of
the espionage act, has been ordered
into operation July Is, by President
Wilson, in proclamation putting
under license shipments to all coun-
tries of the most important export
commodities.
In statement ACCOMPANYING the
proclamation the President declared
the governments policy will be first
to give consideration to American
needs; next, to meet as far as pos
slble the requirements Of the Allies;
and lastly, to supply the neutral
countries wherever practicable. It
is made clear that every effort will
be made to see>that no supplies reach
the Central powers.
The commodities named in the list
put under control are coal, coke, fuel.
oils, kerosene and gasoline, in
Guiding bunkers, good grains, flour and
meal, fodder and feeds, meats and
fats, pig. iron, steel billets, ship
plates and structural shapes, scrap
iron and scrap steel; ferro mangan-
exc, fertlllzlers; arms, ammunition and
explosives.
The inclusion of foodstuffs in the
proclamation lends color to state
ments that the administration is
considering the advisability of a
complete embargo for so days on all
food shipments to give the country
time to ascertain the amount of it's
supplies and to give allied and neu-
tral countries an opportunity to pre-
sent full programme of their re-
quirements.
