 q might state that the idea fore most in mind was to greatly improve the present welfare aid recreation features for our. 1900 employees. There will not be only four new manufac- turing hooss. but a whole new fifth floor covering the entire Grand street wing This floor will be reserved for the exclusive use of the employees during the noon hour and will be fit ted with the most approved appoint ments including beautiful lunch hall done in art tiling on walls, ceiling and floor reading and recreation room, and a special compartment in which the men may smoke.
 Another noteworthy development is special fire escape tower of steel and concrete with wide stairways' one enclosed section of which is devised to draw and confine all smoke and ames should there be a fire. It is expected that we shall occupy this new addition by Jan lst.

XNHEN the people of Camden first
w characterized the new Enclosures at
their trolley terminals as "bull pens the
zone-fare system, as it was originally
conceived by the street-car corporation,
was doomed.
The phrase reflected general senti-
ment, as such spontaneous and inspira-
tional phrases usually do, more wildly
than the report of a committee or set
of resolutions. 1t expressed resentment,
anger, fatal derision, a consciousness
of intolerable indignity. If the trolley
management had been wiser than trolley
managements usually are the system
would have been changed at once.
1t is not in long pronouncements, but
in an occasional happy or grinding
phrase, unexpected and colorful, that the
normally inarticulatc multitude reveals
its purpose and its feelings Popular
Judgment is oftenest expressed in frag
ment of slang that sticks in your mind
like a burr. 1t is thing created in
flash of feeling that may be rage or af-
fection, contempt or joy.
1t is by indirection that the crowd eX-
presses itself An almost feminine mys-
teriousness shrouds its subtler motives.
Whisky, for example, used to be whisky.
Now it is hooch, and the implied sugges-
tion of humorous contempt for thing
that was once dignifed and seemingly in
dispensable is plain.
Happy is the boss who becomes "the
old man" The crowd has approved him
and given him a title reserved for the
elect. Only the crowd produces good
slang. The made-to-order product rings
thin and hollow.

LIGHT ON TIE FEDERATION

VTTHAT does the Federation of Labor
actually look like when it is viewed
from within? Is it red or pink or merely
blue? Who are the real leaders? These
are popular questions of the moment
and lot of people who obviously do not
know what they are talking about have
tried to answer them. The federation
will soon have an opportunity to answer
for itself.
Mr.. Gompers, in calling for a national
convention of his organization has pro-
vided an opportunity for just assess
ments that ought to be welcomed by the
public and trades unionists alike. For
the first time since many of its con-
spicuous leaders have come under sus-
picion, the federation will have an OPP
portunity to speak its mind. to clearly
state its aims and to define it's purposes
clearly. Such definitions will be i'm
perative. 1t is not too much to say that
the destiny of the federation will soon
be decided in Washington.
Unquestionably the prestige of the or
ganization has diminished. Will the rep
: resentatives called by Mr.. Gompers try
to re-establish it? Or will they give aid
and comfort to their enemies by an ad-
vocacy of policies detested and discred-
tied by the country at large?

THE GREAT LET-DOWN

UT'VE sold her." said man who had
just parted with a cherished devil
wagon. 81 haven't time to tinker with
the thing myself when she needs it, and
you can't get anybody to do anythiug"
The normal human enthusiasm for
work and healthy effort and achievement
is at its lowest ebb There has been a
general letting down all along the line.
Good workmanship is rarer than it ever
was before. 1t may be due to a reaction
from the intense concentration of the
war period or it may be, as some people
believe, because of too much prosperity.
Certainly it is not easy to get anybody
to do anything well. The world is in a
loafing and rather negligent mood. 1t
isn't disposed to do more than it has to.
The trouble is not new, either. One of
its earliest manifestations, as lecturer on
household economies has just pointed out
was in the housekeepers, who, when tele-
phone service became general, began to
buy rccklessly by wire rather than take
the trouble to walk block to the grocery
store.
If people need hard times to stimulate
them to industry and ambition, they are
in fair way to create cure for their
present troubles.

every one who goes to New York from
Philadelphia will lose an hour on the
way and find himself sixty minutes late
at his destination. So it will be else
where.
If the whole country could be per-
suaded to unanimous action we might
still save daylight and the farmers might
have their old-fashioned time schedule
and everybody could be happy. 1t would
only be necessary to move the business
day forward bodily, start the wheels an
hour earlier, make II o'clock the lunch
hour and shut up shop at a instead of
5. That is actually what the country has
been doing.
But habits are fixed and half the people
would probably fail TO go along with the
progressive crowd. The daylight saved
under the old law was one of the few
good things that the public ever got for
nothing. and it will not soon be possible
to forgive Congress that spoiled the
arrangement because it feared the farm
erS' vote.

UP TO CONGRESS

GIT is not only unjustifiable,' said
President Wilson Of the proposed
soft-coal strike; at is unlawful"
The President is not biased judge.
When he characterizes the plan Of the
miners leaders as "a grave moral and
legal wrong against the Government and
the people of the United States," he is
not overstatng the case.
An invading army would not easily do
more damage than the miners unions are
plotting in cold blood 1t is odd to real
ize therefore that there is nothing in the
civil law or in constitutional provisions
or in any act now contemplated by Con-
gress to protect the nation against this
sort of menace from within.
Mr.. Wilson's courageous proclamation
to the soft-coal men and the nature of
the crisis with which he has to deal in
formally give new validity to the sug-
gestion already made in these columns
for new legislation adequate for the con-
troll of the reckless mnorities at both
extremes of the economic dispute who
threaten the peace and stability of the
United States.
Congress must do what the industrial
conference had not the will or the courage
to do. 1t will have to establish new laws
to meet issues that are new. To rail
against one side or the other will be
futile. Bigotry and prejudice must be
left to the snarling beligerents them
selves. One-sded laws cannot stand.
Congress will be the first to declare
itself powerless in the face of consti-
tutional limitations. 1t will be said that
the rights of property and the rights of
labor cannot be interfered with in any
degree. But in the name of the country,
Congress may at least do what the in
dustrial conference was expected to do
1t can give official form and sanction to
an industrial code devised to establish
justice for labor and for capital, but
above all to protect the public's inter-
ests. Thereb.i the trend of public opin-
ion would Immediately be directed per-
manently in support of those whose aims
are reasonable and just. The way would
soon be clear for such constitutional
amendments as are necessary when new
and powerful forces are plainly directed
under subterfuge of one sort or another
by those who wish to override the coun-
try, to set aside the familiar rules by
which we live in peace and to seize
authority in the name of clique or
class.
Only rank cowardice can keep Con-
gress from giving to Mr.. Wilson and to
future Presidents the power that is
needed to fight the newer enemies of
civilization-the anarchists of labor and
the anarchists of capital.

ALBERT AND THE BELL

A LBERT, king, but democratic
"A AS a soldier needs must be,
Here's welcome most emphatic
At the shrine of liberty.
We are kinsmen by this symbol
And its note Is sweet and clear
For you made it ring in Belgium
As our fathers rang 1t here.
Freemen joyously assembled
At the ringing of the bell.
Tyrants faltered, paused and trembled,
For to them it was a knell.
Still its note rang out insistent
With message ever dear!
And you heard it ring in Belgium
As our fathers heard 1t here.
Albert, knsman by your actions,
In time of cruel stress,
We, disdaining cliques and factions,
Proudly brotherhood profess.
All you've done has made us grateful.
All you are evokes a cheer,
For you heard that bell in Belgium
AS our fathers heard it here.

whole armory of greed than the fist OF
the greedy. What has sometimes been
called enlightened self-interest was SO
far forgotten that it did not shed the
fantest glimmer of spiritual radiance
about the heads of the men in confer
ence
If the blind continue to lead the blind
there is no uncertainty about where they
both will land.
When Albert gave his famous answer
to the Germans the whole world was
thrilled by its splendor.
The Germans have admitted that their
case was morally lost when they at
tempted to punish him and his kingdom
for their loyalty to their plighted word.
1t will take Germany century to wipe
out the blot on her own honor, if it can
be done in that time.
She had the power to invade Belgium
and she was so mad as to use 1t.
There are groups here in America who
think they have the power to get what
they want regardless of the rights Of
any one else. And they are plotting to
use that power ruthlessly and with no
regard to the rights Of any one else.
If they persist they are bound to suf-
fer the fate of the man who seeks to
save his life and yet loses it, for the
spiritual law is immutable and acts with
precision, though it sometimes seems as
if it did not act at all because its proc
esscs are so slow.

The problems that
Tip From the Shore faced the international
trade conference were
as great in their scope and Importance (if
not so imminent in their application as
those which faced the industrial conference
in Washington 1t is interesting to note in
this connection that the delegates did not
take snap Judgment on any specific subject
but panstakingly sought to formulate a
code of principles to guide them in the
future. With this example before them. it
may be that the delegates to the labor con-
ference could do better if they only had a
chance 10 try aEain.
