WHERE CO. OPERATION IS NEEDED.

The agreement reached by the special labor
commission, of which Mr. Taft and Frank T.
Walsh are members, contemplates adoption OF
la labor policy which is expected to prevent
strikes for the period of the war. That the
commission has been working along sound lines
appears in the announcement that its plans pro-
vide the mechanism for cooperation between
employers and employees. 1t is believed that,
with this machinery in operation, differences
will be adjusted without serious trouble. This
must mean that work will go on while peaceful
negotiations are under way. The strike danger
will be over when adoption of this simple plan,
based on recognition of the value of co-opera-
ton becomes general instead of exceptional.
The suggestion of cooperation is not new. {.
has been made many times in this paper and
elsewhere We have learned from Canada s
rather fortunate experience that legislative en-
actrnents can be made effective in lessening the
strike evil, but the most effective anti-strike
plan must take account of the Importance OF CO.
Operation in protecting the interests OF both the
parties to a labor dispute.
| The program drawn up by SIX representa-
tives of capital, six of labor and two men repre-
senting the public provides for the establish
ment of national war labor board, whose
| functions will be to ''bring about settlement
| bv mediation and Cancellation of every contro-
versv arising between employers and employees
and workers in the field of production neces-
sarv for the effective conducy of the war =
When the war is over, settlement by mediation
and cancellation will be important in the inter
est OF normal industry. 1t is not unreasonable
to believe that there viii be no return to the
strike method.

TWO VIEWS OF A TRADE PROBLEM

BurIyell S. Cutler chief of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, said the other
night at a meeting In Boston of New England
exporters that we need have no fear Of what
any competitor may accomplish to our disad-
vantage by legislation or by organization prior
to the actual declaration of peace. He added
that while there has been much talk in Europe
about plans for promoting trade when peace Is
made, little governmental action has been
taken
If he is right, so much the better for us: for
the question Of preparation for a9ter-war trade
is important, and some weI-infor1ned persons
in this country have felt that we were neglect
ing our opportunities There has been, in.
fact, ground for belief that In countries which
viii be our trade rivals after peace, much atten-
ton was given TO this matter. In an article, in
which it states some of the problems growing
out Of the war. New York City financial in
stitution says: ITO the solution OF these prob
lens every great nation Of the world. with the
exception Of the United States, Is already Civ
ing the thought of its most able men. Under
the auspices of their governments, fnanciers
manufacturers, traders and workrnen are being
organized for the purpose of investigating and
reporting on what will best serve to lift their
respective enterprises out Of the ruin Of war -
Reports coming from other countries tend to
confirm the belief that important European GOV
ernments are making plans for the benefit Of
manufacturers and merchants in their after
war business.
The United States tariff commission said in
its annual report that the Paris economic con-
ference recommended measures for the war
period transtory measures for the period Of
commercial and industrial reconstruction of the
allied countries, and permanent measures of
mutual assistance among the allies The
Paris conference was held nearly two years
ago. Certainly there is no reason to suppose
that European governments give less at
tention to trade plans than they gave then.
Legislation intended to promote trade may be
delayed till after the war; but the nation that
neglects preparation to meet new conditions in

RESTORING AMERICAN SELF
RESPECT.

Des Moines Capital: The in
yestigation in regard 10 the
German-American Alliance has dis
closed enough to damn that lnstitu-
ton forever If there is anything
disloyal that the German-Amer1ean
Alliance has not attempted in the
past few years, it would be difficult
to determine what it is. 1t is demon
strated that the American congress
out of pure compliment to our Ger
man fellow citizens, chartered this
national organization in order to give
it dignity and character. But the
evidence shows that the real purpose
of the organization was to prevent
Germans from becoming Americans
at all. The organization has demon
strated that its main purpose was to
cause every German in America to
love his old country and hate his new
country. This proved to be a bad
scheme We are glad that Senator
King had the courage to introduce
resolution 70 withdraw this ma
tional charter. II congress will take

Stacker with no visible means OF honest self
support can be reached under the vagrancy
laws The Stacker most difficult to reach is the
man who has an income Independent of his per
sonal efforts and who chooses TO spend his time
in idleness regardless of the needs of the coun-
try for the employment of every person able to
engage in some useful occupation. In the case
of the latter, clearly expressed public disap-
proral, even to the extent of social ostracism,
probably will be most efficacious. We have
heard and read much concerning the dignity OF
labor. but there has been too little manifesto
ton OF a real esteem for the man who earns his
living by his personal efforts. We can help
win this war by developing keen public senti-
ment which attaches real honor to useful oc-
cupation and real disgrace to idleness.

administration boosters says in re

there has been ten times as much
presidential politics played by the
democrats as by the republicans. The
republicans have been largely barred

ninistration measure. they are doing
it for politics. II they support an ad-
nlinistration measure, that Is also for
political purposes. In the eyes OF
administration boosters there is no
good purpose, no patriotic motive,
in republicans. On the other hand,
they see nothing but the purest waste

everywhere do to English. They have little
need 10 learn it and no desire to do go, largely
for the reason that the people who use it are ar
