Want Strike Clause
In WOOllen Contracts
Cloak Manufacturers, Fearing
Walkout, Ask Right to
Cancel Orders

Because Of the possibility Of a strike
in the cloak, suit and skirt industry,
manufacturers in that trade are trying
to purchase their fall woollens subject
to cancellation.
Nearly every seller of woollen goods
for the womcn's wear trade has ,,een
approached on the subject, and some
OF them have taken orders with tho
strike contingency clause written in.
A few of the woollen selling agents
have rebelled at the idea and say they
will stand firmly on the policy that no
cancellations will be permitted except
for faulty delivery.
1t is suggested by some of the lead
ing. woollen sellers that concerted
action should be taken and definite
policy adopted. When the swing from
6. buyers to sellers market developed
shortly after the opening of the fall
selling season many of the larger
houses frightened up their selling
terms in an effort TO relieve them
selves of the cancellation evil. On
the other hand, the buyers of cloth saw
they have as much right to cancel and
revise orders as have the mills max
ing the fabrics. Most of the cancella-
oiOho anu IcNiSious OI OTCSFS so far
have emanated from the hands of the
mills.
Should the strike in the cloak. suit
and skirt manufacturing industry. ex-
pected about May 8, occur, it will find
the employers in a better position than
they have occupied in any previous
labor disturbance Few of the manu-
facturers are cutting any materials for
fall samples or merchandise. and the
bulk of the trade is finishing up it's
spring business es rapidly as possible.
While many of the large concerns in
the trade say they could take big orders
for spring and summer merchandise
for immediate or near delivery. they
are turning these orders down in order
that their factories will be clear Of any
stock "in work" If the walkout of en-
ployos takes place.
The only two possible effects Of n
strike now. 40 far as the retailer and
consuming public are concerned. will
be possible greater shortage Of snrine
merchandise and delay in getting
started on the fall season. manufaeturs

how well the fathers laid the founda-
ton.
It is true tnar removal to Americas
shores did not divest the Massachu-
sets settlers of all remnants of bigo-
try. More liberal thought came with
time, but it remains true that from
those New England settlements has
spread the dominant thought in this
nation. The ideas of freedom they
came in time to adopt are the ideas
mainly held today
Principles are more powerful than
numbers, else we might look to James
town as the greater force in the found
alton of this republic. The celebration
to be held next year in honor Of the
three hundredth anniversary of the
arrival of the Pilgrims will not only
pay tribute to that daring and hardy
band as individuals, but it will also
honor them for being the pioneers in
directing the thought of a mighty
nation.

AMERICA SHOULD HEED.

"Work and save" the old-fashioned
motto of an d-fashioned time when
industry and thrift went hand in hand,
is being impressed upon the people OF
Europe these days. 1t does not have
to be preached in France. 1t was the
practice always of the people of that
country and no other nation was so
free from actual poverty in the rural
regions and perhaps in the cities.
France became impoverished in the
invaded regions, but the country peo-
pie who were driven out are getting
back to work like ants. The Germans
are likely to astonish the world by the
way they come back in manufacturing
and in crowding world markets with
cheap products.
America may we'll watch its step.
The lack of money and credit will
stimulate Europeans to home produc-
ton and TO do without American
goods when their money is taken only
at small value. The trade prosperity
that came to this country, and high
wages, have started individual extrav-
agance by the masses of people. The
vogue for thrift to help win the war
no longer prevails,
European countries are staggering
under a burden such as Americans but
dimly comprehend. Yet it remains to
be seen whether this debt is an un-
mixed evil. Out of the American high
prices and low money exchange value
already has grown necessity over
there to cut down use of imported
goods. AS this is done. more home
goods will need to be produced there
to meet demand. Necessity will COM
pei industry and scarcity will impel
saving. There is at the very outset a
definite impulse for thrift which Am
orleans in comparative plenty lack.
Those Europeans, just by the SIM
pie process of working and saving,
may make themselves Independent of
America, and Germany especially, I'M
DER nlSn pressure, Will become marc
competitor in markets lost to this
country when America had no com
petition and could get her own figures
for goods made by high priced labor
and reckless spenders expecting flush
times to go on indefinitely.
The nation. as we'll as the man, who
works and saves is hard to beat in 6
commercial race.

STRIKE HURTS NEW MEXICo.

Three hundred men at Hanover, in
the far end of New Mexico, hundreds
of miles from the strikers in Colorado,
are out of work and not by their Will.
The community is minus probably
$500 per day in wages. The loss to
the owners of the iron mine at Han
over from having an expensive idle
plant must be considered. although
the ore remains in the ground and will
be wanted later when the Pueblo
plant again desires to purchase. Thus
is illustrated that strikes are far
reaching in the distress they cause to
persons and families who have no
voice in causing or ending suspension
of industry The eastern strike lead
ers who directed the move against
steel plants will, however, shed no
tears over the loss of jobs by 900 men
in the New Mexico mine where labor
is not organized. Nor will the owners
of steel plants who declined to allow
the unions to organize employees at
the works.
AS the whole country gets swatted
in such interference with industry,
the nation should have a method of
prevention. Though arbitration laws
may not have proved all that is de-
sired, as labor men now hold, COM
! promise ought to be secured in some
manner without either side being al
| lowed to crowd the other to the wall.
The most of the people are not cap
italistic operators, nor yet wage en-
ployes of any line of work. and should
not be made to suffer because of quar-
rels between factions.
The rule of reason and tolerance
the doctrine of the square deal-need
to be respected more by all men.

PIONEERS IN NATIONS THOUGHT,

An investigator estimates that there
are row about $4,000 living descend
ants of that group of 101 persons who
came over in the Mayflower 500 years
ago next year. When we consider
that of the more than 100000 600 peo-
pie within our national boundaries
this number constitutes such a slight
proportion of the whole. 1t is neces-
sary to look to other than numerical
figures to explain the impress the
Pilgrims have left on our institutions
Doubtless to the settlers at Plymouth
has been given credit that should be
divided among the New England colo
mics. Because the Mayflower COM
pany was the first to arrive and theii
history is more indelibly stamped or
our minds may be charged the ten
dency to ascribe to them fame thai
should be shared by the Puritans al
we'll.
While those first settlers possessed
the narrow views of the time. 1t was
because at Plymouth Rock was lait
the foundation stones Of the principle!
Of American free government that tn,
Pilgrims have attained an Importance
in the history of this nation that fal
surpasses what their numbers then OF
now would warrant. That the sue
ceeding millions of diverse races AND
creeds have not changed in principle

PROMOTIONS IN THE ARMY.

The announcement of General
March. chief of staff, that the war
department has abandoned the old
plan of making promotions accord
ing to seniority, in favor of advance
ment by selection, will be hailed with
satisfaction by those who feel that all
other considerations except capability
should be waived in choosing officers
to fill vacancies in higher ranks.
Under the monthly rating system per-
fected during the war, which provided
for reports from each commanding
officer of the work and fitness of his
subordinates, the selective plan Of pro-
motion was found to give good results;
and if it worked well under chaotic
war conditions it should be still more
satisfactory in peace times.
The objection will be raiss~ ,a.at
the selective plan will give opportu-
nifty for display of favoritism; that on
the pretense that he is better qualified
an officer with influential friends or
political connections will be Jumped
over the head of another officer, his
senior, and equally or more capable,
but having no pull" This will have
to be guarded against. There will be
heart burnings in any event, and even
though the charge be untrue 1t will be
temptation to an officer who has
been passed over to attribute the adj
vancement Of his competitor to politi-
cal intrigue.
The feelings of the individual Of
| ficers will have to be subordinated to
the good of the service, and If youth
full lieutenant shows a quicker grasI
of military science, more energy, and
the ability to handle men, in a greater
degree than one who has been longer
in the service, the former should b.
promoted in preference to the latter

End army had to fall back-a little.
South of the river it succeeded in
forming a cintinuous. if thin. line.
These troops fought considerably
better than the divisions between the
