Teach the Children to Be Careful!

A boy was killed in street in this
city the other day in circumstances that
should be brought home to every parent
in Washington. He was riding on the
rear end of wagon and suddenly
jumped off and ran directly into the
course of motor car, which could not
be stopped or turned in time. and the
child was hit and fatally injured. Acct
dents of this kind are occurring con
tinually. Children at play in the
streets are in constant peril, not as
result of the earelessness of motorists or
drivers, but because the children do not
realize that their sudden erratic motions
expose them to injury and death. The
practice of riding upon the rear of
wagons is especially dangerous. Boys
who do this really take their lives in
their hands, for when they leave the
vehicles they cannot see the condition
of the street.
Parents have been adjured again and
again to prohibit their children from
engaging in these dangerous tricks and
pranks in the streets, and yet the acci
dents continue. Is it because the par
ents have no influence over their chill
dren or because they do not take the
warning themselves and drive the truth
home to the youngsters7 If the fate of
this little boy were made the subject of
parental talks in every house in Wash
ington where there are children tonight
the lesson would undoubtedly be learn
ed by many hundreds of boys and girls
who are now careless in this respect.
Street safety work cannot succeed ur
less the individual users of the streets
are persuaded of the dangers to them
selves and to others which result from
speed and heedlessness. The pedestrians
and chauffeurs, the vehicle owners, the |
parents, all must work to this end by
constant admonition and care. Wash
ington's total Of street accidents is
mounting appallingly, and general CO.
operative effort is necessary to prevent |
a shocking loss of life and limb at the

Capital, Labor and the War.

Labor conditions throughout the coun-
try are to be investigated by special
commission, with Secretary Wilson of
the Department of Labor at its head.
1t leaves Monday, on a two-month
tour. The President has given the nee
essary instructions, and will receive the
commissions report when it is ready.
This announcement is made:
"The commission during its two
months trip will visit Arizona. Cali
fornia, Utah, Montana. Wyoming, Colo
RADIO and possibly New Mexico. BY
public hearings and private converse
tions with workmen. industrial leaders.
state officials and leading citizens. the
commission hopes to bring to light the
causes of strikes, l. W. W. activities and
other industrial troubles hampering the
country's war program. The governor
of each state will be visited and his
cooperation sought Particular atten-
ton will be paid to the charges
of organized labor that L. W. W..
activities have been encouraged and
financed by corporations to discredit the
extension of labor organization. In this
connection. the deportation of workmen
from Arizona towns will be investigated
early in the tour"
No more important work could be
done And it is pressing work. 1t is
no secret that labor unrest is deep and
widespread, and affects many branches
of industry Every days dispatches tell
of strike here, or a threatened strike
there, or a parley between capital and
labor yonder In nearly every case a
demand for an increase in wages under
lies the difficulty.
Two reasons are given for the de-
mand: O The cost Of living is high;
and (2) capital is harvesting profits of
unprecedented size. Wage-earners not
only want to live, but to share more
literally in earnings they are helping to
create.
These men are not Intentionally un-
patriotic. There is no sinister purpose
on their part to hamper production at
the expense of the country at this time
of peril. They are obeying feeling
which in ordinary circumstances would
be justifabie. Large profits suggest
high wages, and when living comes high
the poor mans wallet fattens.
But some of these men are forgetting
that the circumstances are not ordinary.
On the contrary, they are extraordi-
narily extraordinary The country is
modified, or is mobilizing. for war.
Capital and labor must do their part
If they fail, the men in arms will suffer
They must keep the soldiers we'll sup
piled with all necessary to perform the
soldiers task.
Hence, the farmer who abandons his
pillow, or the miner his pick, or the
weaver his loom, or the smith his sledge
and anvil, or the carpenter his plane, or
the steelworker his hammer. because of
prices or wages, may be Gkened to a
soldier who in time of battle throws
down his gun and refuses to go forward,
or runs away.
This special commission has mes
sage for capital as well as labor, and
should deliver both in pleasant but
plain terms.
