sharply forced yesterday before the
Senate Committee on Commerce. 1t
supplied the sensation Of the day at
the Capitol.
1t came Unexpectedly. Senators
Nelson, Harding and Sherman devel-
oped 1t through questions asked Vice
President R. B. Stevens, OF the Ship
ping Board.
He had outlined the whole situa-
ton in dealing with labor since his
service began on March l.. He had
summarized all delays through labor
troubles as reported by JOG COM
panies under the board. They had
lost time equal to that Of 10000 men
for a month. BY voluntary agree
ments the troubles had been over
come. Over 100000 men, he said, are
now at work in eighty plants. With
100000 probably now at work in all
shipbuilding plants, between 200. 900
and 100000 will be needed to COM
plete In a year the whole program
outlined by Chairman Harley, of the
Shipping Board
Mr.. Stevens testified that bonuses
or premiums" had been offered for
speeding up" to men who work six
days a week. He admitted that with
high wages on piece work, Young,
unmarried men, who make enough to
live on in four or five DAYS, NAV not
work the full week. II was hoped
the offer of bonuses might overcome
this.
When first asked if it would not
be better TO commanders" labor
than TO negotiate with II, Mr.. Stevens
was diplomatic. In fact, he lodged
the issue" as long as he could. But
when the Senators backed him to
the wall" he squared himself and
met them on every question with
what may be best summarized as
"shOrt-arm jolts."
He would not undertake IN decide
the historical question Of vhy men
should not be forced to work as they
are forced to fight. lie toId the
Senators that they could not change
the sentiment against sIaye-driying
by legislation, and that he had not .
advocated driving American work
men, because it was not practical
and would not give practical results.
Why not and what then? he was
asked. Would 1t be revolt and civil
war. II Congress passed a law for
compulsory labor? Not at all. The
law would be repealed rather
hastily" And If not? Then there
would be a general cessation Of
work" and it would be found i'm
practical to put from half a million
to five million people in Jail! There
would be no disorder. but there
would be no work.

PREVENTION, NOT REVENGE.

While the authorities are within their
legal right in prosecuting certain mer-
chants, at this late date for cigarette sales
to minors in February, nevertheless IN
view of the fact that they are not commit
ting the offense now, the propriety OF the
practice is open to serious question.
No one has taken a more irreconc1lable
stand against the illegal purveyors OF n1co-
tine than The Journal; but Our purpose has
been more to safeguard the children's
health than merely to punish the offenders.
Is the spirit of the law revenge, or is it
prevention?
If the authorities were able to get any
evidence that the merchants in question
are selling cigarettes to minors now, they
would not press the February charges
Conviction of an offense in February
therefore, is the strongest proof of limo

Says E. D. Beggs:

Says E. D. Beggs:
OF the many reasons which may
be urged in support of the establish
ment of the special tax school dis
trict for the city of Pensacola and
its environs, there are two outstand-
ing ones. One is that the funds be-
ing derived from the state and coun-
ty are insufficient to meet the or
binary and usual expenses of bzila-
ing, equipping and maintaining the
schools on a par with schools in pro-
gressive and up-to-date cities of like
size and Importance as Pensacola.
The additional amounts needed for
these ordinary and usual expenses
could be met with the funds received
from the annual levy which could be
made in the newly established dis
trict.
The other reason for creating the
district is that "a condition" and not
"a theory" confronts the city. Before
the. late burning of the high school
building the capacity of the school
buildings of the city was more thar
taxed to accommodate the pupils, and
now since the burning of that build,
ing the high school is being main.

tanned by the use of the Clubbs gram
mar school building during part of
the day, the pupils of that school
only being permitted the use of the
building during the other part of the
day. This is, OF course, only make
shift and only temporary arrange
ment at best. There must be provid-
ed at the earliest possible date suita-
bic and ample accommodations not
only for the high school, but for the
other schools with their present
needs of each recurring year with the
continuous increase in pupils.
The amounts needed for the cree
ton of building for the high school
and extra expense of erecting and
charging buildings for schools of the
lower grades, could be provided for
by bond issue by the newly estab-
lished district.
The necessity is here and is a
pressing one, and appears no other
way to meet it than by creating the
proposed district The school chill

administration and many this seems
a sur Prise.
First, | wish to say it is not so
much a lack of patriotism as it is the
common man can not see any neces-
sity for soldiers. The average Amer
lean can not see how Germany, with
the destructive forces against her can
possibly affect America. Whatever
dangers lie through Germany, Mexico
and even Japan, have been kept hid
den from the average man. IF dam
gers exist, they should be made plain
and then enlistment would proceed

people.
