FEBRUARY TONNAGE LOSS
781,50O, BERLIN CLAIMS

BERLIN, Friday. March 16, by wire
less to Sayville, March 19.-Merchant
ships of an aggregate gross tonnage
of 7S1.50o were destroyed in February
as a result of war measures of the
central powers, the admiralty an
nounced today.
The statement follows:
"In February 36S merchant ships Of
an aggregate gross tonnage of 7Si,50O
were lost by the war measures of the
central powers. Among them were 292
hostile ships, with an aggregate gross
tonnage of 1900, and seveAty-six neu-
trail ships. of an aggregate gross tom
mage of 137.500. Among the neutral
ships sixty-one were sunk by sub
marines, which is 16.5 per cent of the
total in February, as compared with
29 per cent, the average of neutral
losses in the last four months"
There is wide disparity between the
official German figures of the destruc-
tion of shipping in February, the first
month of unrestricted submarine war
fare, and the figures given out in Enp-
land. 1t was said authoritatiyeIv in
London March that in February Ger
man submarines sent to the bottom in
round numbers, 100000 tons of shin
ping. No mention was made of ships
destroyed by mines.

PRAISES STRIKERS CONDUCT.
Captain of Strikebreakers Believes
Union Men Will Win Out.

'If these fellows behave as they have
done in the past week they will win
this strike" declared a captain of the
strikebreakers today.
II have been through a number of
strikes with the organization with
which I am connected, and can say
that this is the most orderly crowd of
strikers I have ever run up against"
he said. "If the men will keep away
from the barns and not interfere with
the operation of the cars. or cause
trouble. or do damage to property they
will win out. 1 have never seen it to
fail. They will win the confidence Of
the public. and that goes a long way
in a strike of this kind.
IA strike In New York in which I
worked was lost just as soon as the
men started to destroy property. The
public had been with the men, but
when one of the stations was dyna-
mited and other damage done the pub
lie turned and the men lost the strike"

assumed that the legislative power to
fix one thing. the standard OF hours
could be enforced by exerting the
power to do another. fix the wages, al
though there was no legislative au-
thority to exert the latter power. The
doing Of one thing which is authorized
cannot be made the source OF an au-
thority to do another thing whlcn
there is no power to do. II 10 deprive
employer and employe OF the right to
contract for wages and to provide that
a particular rate of wages shall be
paid for a specified time is not fixing
Of wages. It is difficult to see what
would be.
However. there is this very broad
erted. The first. the eight-hour stand
ard. is permanently fixed. The second.
the fixing of the wage standard re-
sulting from the prohibition against
tied to the time specified in section two.
1t is. therefore not permanent but
temporary, leaving the employers and
employees free as to the subject OF
wages to govern their relations by
their own agreements after the speci-
fed time.
''Concretely stated. therefore. the ques-
tion is this: Did Congress have power
under the circumstances stated-that is
in dealing with the dispute between
wages-to provide permanent eight
hour standard and to create by legis-
lative action standard of wages to
be operative upon the employers and
employees for such reasonable time as
it deemed necessary to afford an op-
portunity for the meeting of the minds
of employers and employees on the sub
ject of wages? Or, in other words,
did 1t have the power, in order to pre-
vent the interruption of interstate
commerce, to exert it's will to supply
from the disagreement as to wages be-
tween the employers and employees and
to make its will on that subject con-
trolling for the limited period provided
for?

General Considerations.

Coming to the general considerations
by which both subjects must be con-
trolled. to simplify the analysis for the
purpose of considering the question of
inherent power. we put the question as
to the ejght-hour standard entirely out
Of view, on the ground that the author
ity to permanently establish it is SO
clearly sustained as to render the sub
5ect not disputable.
That common carriers by rail inter-
state commerce are within the legisla-
tive power of Congress to regulate
commerce is not subject to dispute. 1t
is equally certain that where particu-
lar subject is within such authority the
extent of regulation depends on the ma
ture and character of the subject and
what is appropriate to it's regulation.
The powers possessed by government
TO deal with a subject are neither in
ordinately enlarged or greatly dwarfed
because the power to regulate inter-
state commerce applies.
This is Illustrated by the difference be-
tween the much greater power of regu-
latton which may be exerted as to liquor
and that which may be exercised as to
flour, dry goods and other commodities
1t is shown by the settled doctrine sus-
tanning the right by regulation absolute
ly to prohibit lottery tickets and by the
obvious consideration that such right to
prohibit could not be applied to pig iron,
steel rails or most of the vast body of
commodities.
