The guess may be hazarded that they

business men TO accept any unguaran-

grand phrase; II embodies an ideal all
would like 10 see realized: but it pro-
vldes no safeguard against industrial
disturbance. Indeed, the wranglings
among the co-operators would perhaps
be more fierce than between employers

So 1t is doubtful whether the brother
hoods mean business. They probably
are staging a gesture rather than sub
mitting an offer. They ignore the inti-

hood chiefs have adopted TO induce all

experiment with are, Of course, calcu-
lated to arouse hot resentment. Moth

this country since railway magnate
oblurgated "iThe public be damned" "
Indeed, there seems TO be a throwback
TO the mood of the plutocrats who re-
garded themselves as the owners Of the
earth and thought when they spoke
humber folks were TO obey.
But indignation over the threats and
throat-grabbing which garnlsh the plan
should not prevent calm consideration

It has been made plain that our gov
ernment as now organized is afraid Of

tlon. IL is doubted whether any po-
ltlcal power would be able 10 resist
the pressure that one militant mi

THE E%LBERFELD CASE.

President John d. Martin, of the
Southern league, has been forced TO
suspend Norman Elberfeld, manager of
the Little Rock Travellers, indefinitely
on account Of a runin Elberfeld had
with Umpire Harry Johnson in Little
Rock Tuesday.
The league president took no hasty
action, but waited until he had reports
from both umpires as well as a number
of spectators at the game in which the
Little Rock manager is said to have
stepped on the umpire's toes with his
spikes and otherwise contributed to the
discomfort Of the arbiter. The actions
of the Kid in Sundays Little Rock

which he was led out Of the park by a
bluecoat, were expected to lead to a
suspension, but the league president de-
sired to be lenient with the Little Rock
pilot and not suspend him II It could
