American Legion Headquarters.

BY only narrow margin Wash
ington yesterday failed of selection
as the permanent headquarters of the
American Legion, in session at Min
neapolis. The plan to bring the cen
trail Offices of the organization
to the capital was strongly in
dorsed by the membership on
grounds of appropriateness, but evi-
IDENTIFY the argument for a more cen
trail situation prevailed. Possibly In
dianapolis offered inducements that
were lacking in the ease of Washing
ton. Whatever the reason. the capi-
tai lost the verdict. 1t may still be
hoped that eventually the headquar-
ters will be brought OF this city,
which has become the national center
of so many other country wide organi-
cations. Despite the decision against it
Washington takes the deepest inter
est in the American Legion, contribut-
ing to its rolls one of the heaviest

comes a law in this form there is no
appeal. The form of the employees
organizations must be- changed or they
must disband
1t is. perhaps, stretch of analogy
to put the civilian employees of the
government under the same ban as
that which applies to policemen and
firemen. The latter classes are in a
peculiar relationship to the community
and the government. Their services
are essential, and in the case of po-
licemen particularly they are of a
character possibly to bring them in
conflict with strikers. for whom labor
union affiliation might easily cause a
sympathy initiating against their eff
ficiency as police. In adopting the
prohibition as to fremen, the House
has undertaken to apply the same
principle. with unanswerable logic and
reason. Extension of the embargo to
civilian employees of all grades and
classes is justified by its advocates on
the ground that the government is
entitled to the undivided fealty of its
employees. without affiliations that
might at any time lead to suspension
of service.

made by bombs OF murder. The
American spirit does not yield tamely
to threats.
Close Identification of the Indus
trial Workers of the World and the
other radical elements now at work in
this country is generally accepted.
Whatever the personnel of these
groups, their aims are the same, the
destruction of property, the establish

Government Clerks Affiliation.

BY its adoption of an amendment to
the police pay bill. which it passed
yesterday, the Senate has broadened
the scope of the prohibition against
labor union affiliations already writ
ten into the measure in application to
policemen and made feature of the
firemen's pay bill passed by the House
and awaiting action by the Senate.
This Senate amendment applies the
EN- mbargo against such af1iliation to all
organizations of government employees.
Under the terms of the amendment it
prohibits affiliation with any outside
organization which uses the strike or
which assists any other organization
in the use of the strike in the ad
justment of grievances. No distinc-
tion is made on the score of non
strike clauses in the charters or con-
stitutions of the employees unions. If
this amendment stands through con-
ference and later in the House it will
sever all connection between the fed
eral employees organizations-and it
would seem also the school teachers
unions-and national bodies which ad
voeate or Justify striking.
The action of the Senate is certain
TO evoke strong protest on the part

An I, W. W. Ambuscade.

Such manifestations of murderOus
animosity on the part of the radical
element as that which turned the Cen
tralia, Wash, Armistice day celebra-
ton into a tragedy can have only the
enect of intensifying the peoples de-
termination to rid the country, if pos
sible, of these malevolent factors for
disorder and destruction. The attack
upon the marching column of exserv-
ice men was similar to the San Fran
cisco bomb outrage committed on Pre-
paredness day several years ago. In
this case little doubt as to the iden-
tity of attacking forces is possible

Bomb -throwers and snipers of the

the idea that by such attacks they can
win sentiment, possibly through fear
in support of their pernicious doc
trines. They reason just as did the
Germans in the institution of the war

Public Welfare Paramount.

A war power act having been in,
yoked to send the bittuninous coal
miners back to work, Congress now
! should take heed of the situation in
which the country will find itself in
the near future, when proclamation OF
peace has abrogated the Lever act
and all other "period of the war
legislation Union labor has bowed
to an infexible manifestation of fed
eral power, but mingled with its patri-
otism is resentment. It believes that a
statute was construed out of its origi-
nal purpose and intention in order
that it might operate to block the
coal strike. and when that statute ex-
pires the government will be unarmed
against whatever measures of reprisal
union labor may undertake.
The overwhelming approval given
to the decision of. Judge Anderson
that the Lever act made the coal strike
unlawful is abundant evidence that
the people believe the government
should have adequate powers to pro-
tect them against disaster, from what
| ever source threatened, and Congress
can be assured of public support for
any fair and effective program of leg
islation which looks to permanent
arming of the government with some
such authority as it has been able to
exercise in this crisis only because the
nation is technically at war.
1t should be written into the statutes
that whenever, in the Judgment of the
President, controversy between capi-
tai and labor assumes the proportions
of national menace the government,
at least to the extent of eompell-
ing the arbitration of issues, shall
have authority to intervene with all
its powers and processes for the pro-
| lection of the people as a whole. In
every possible way the rights of both
labor and capital should be safeguard
ed, but neither party should be per-
mitted to place pretended rights or
imaginary rights above the rights of
the public.
It would not be necessary or desir-
able to provide for arbitrary govern
ment Intervention in minor industrial
controversies, but reason and logic
support the contention that when or
CARNATIONS of either labor or capital
grow so great that they are capable
of bringing about and threaten na-
tional disaster they should submit
themselves to national regulation

Two Noteworthy Triumphs.

Let us all todny rejoice III ,wo oc
~rrrorces and in the influences that
prevailed in both: (D The defeat :
week ago of the police strike IN Bos
ton and (cl the defeat yesterday OF
the coal strike.
In Boston the men who took on
their badges and laid aside thell
pirhtstieks had no proper apprecla
tion of their action. They lacked the
proper appreciation of their POSITIONS
They were sworn officers of the law
and charged with most important
duties. And yet they abandoned those
duties in an effort to better them
selves financially, and in doing so IN
ficted great Injury. They left the
community unprotected, and the law
less and violent classes Immediately
took possession, lpoting at their law
less pleasure. Fortunately, there was
a man at the head of the states at
fairs who knew his duty and had the
courage to do it: and last week the
people of the state. without regard
to party. indorsed his action in over
whelming numbers.
The men who ordered the coal strike
had no proper appreciation OF Their
action. They lacked the proper ap-
preciation of their responsibility. They
should have known and considered
that they were citizens of the United
States as well as officials of the United
Mine Workers of America. And yet
in ordering the strikes they put the
financial interests of their organiza-
ton above and in opposition to the
comfort and welfare of all their fel-
low citizens the country over. Prompt
", in response to the challenge, all
three departments of the govern
ment-the executive, the Legislative
and the judicial-rose to the occasion,
and asserted the national authority in
the national behalf. And if there
were a national polling tomorrow. with
that action the issue, it would be in
dorsed overwhelmingly in every state
of the Union.
The value of all this is not con-
fined to the present. 1t contains an
assurance as to the future. Men of
all organizations and in all walks OF
1ife-employers as we'll as employees
have seen public sentiment and pub
lie authority tested, and seen them re-
spond effectively when public inter
ests were menaced. And all may be
certain that the response will be re-
peated whenever, if ever again, the
menace is repeated.
There is a right way and wrong
way for redressing grievances. All
just grievances should be redressed !;
and in this country and under this
government where the machinery nee
it can be created. All men who labor
with their hands are entitled to good
pay, and to safe and healthy surround
ings while at labor. The American
wsge scales should not only remain
the highest in the world, but be re-
adjusted from time to time as chang
ing conditions in America make re-
adjustment inst reasonable and ad
visable

Unrest and Its Nightmares.

At least in certain portions,
And shapes that now confront us seem
To take on strange distortions.
And there are some who still assert

Save in imagination.

When shadows overtake me,

And hope that it will wake me
Into day like days of old,
With sunshine gayly cleaning,
Far from the stories that were told
By specters in my dreaming.
