Mr., GOmperS y Ia
poIiCia de los E. u.
RozAMIENToS ENTIRE LOS CONF
sIoNADOS DE LA PoLICIA Y LA
FEDERACIoN.

A raiz de una orden terminante da-
da por el Comisionado de la Policia,
Mr.. Browlow, en- la que Sc notiicaba
a todos los policias que habian ingre-
sado en- la Federation" que Sc des-
ligaran por complete de todo compro-
misc contraido, de 10 contrario serian
despedidos del cuerpo, Mr.. Samuel Com
pers, presidente de la American Fede-
ration of Labor solicito una audien-
cia ante los Comisionados para pedir La
cancellation de Ia ordenanza que el con-
sidera autoritaria.
Durante el curse de las argumenta-
clones Mr.. Gompers explico el motive
de Ia campana entire los policias, y en-
trego documentos folletos con los
que quiso demostrar cue un policia al
ingresar EN- la Federation no con-
sraia compromise alguno contrario al
juramcnto que habia tornado antes de
formar parte del cuerpo policial.
Durants la conferencia-segin afr
ma el organo Official de la Fedora
ci6n''-los Comisionados no pudieron
aportar razon poderosa alguna, para
sostener su criterio de que los 900 po-
licias que habian llenado sus solicitu-
des deberian devolverlas.
Sc ha afirmado por los Leaders"
obreros,-yAel rumor no ha sido desmen
lido todavia,-que algunos de los je
fes de policia, es.aban conformes en-
que sus subordinados ingresaran en- la
nueva union pero que cambiaron de
parecer, tan prcnto como Sc enteraron
de que ellos-los jefes-serian exclui-
dos.
Anteriormente existieron "uniones de
policias,'' pero ell espiritu de los je-
fes Sc habia impuesto en- elias.
FL sehor Gompers manifesto que du-
rante mucho tempo los policias de di-
versas ciudades de los Estados Unidos
han estado solicitandc ser admitidos
IN la Federation" para disfrutar de
'os benefcios de la cooperation, Y fue
lebido a esa insistents solicitation ell
que la Convention de Atlantic City de-
cidio otorgar los charters.
De una estadistica recients Sc ha com
probado que Ia campana va dando re-
sultados y va hay mas de $500 MEM
bros.
Cuando Mr.. Gompers concluyo su con
ferencia con. los Comisicnados dc L.
Policia de Washington, estos, desaten-
diendo todas las argumentaciones ex-
puestas enviaron un aviso todos los
cuarteles afirmsndo que la orden ante
rior prohibiendo ell ingreso en- la "Fe
deracion," seria puesta en- vigor RI
gurosamente.
La noticia de este procedimiento, q
continuation de la conferences, ha he
cho que los funcionarios de la "Fe-
deraci6n Libre" busqrsn desagravic
en- los tcibunales de justicia. varios
abogados de la "Federaci6n'' han pre-
sentado un Injunction.

Opportunity and Responsibility

A great opportunity lies before, anc
a correspondingly great responsibility
rests upon, President Wilson's second
industrial conference, which held its
opening session yesterday afternoon.
The personnel of the conference is
of a caliber to inspire belief that it
realizes fully the responsibility and
will measure up to the opportunity.
This second conference is fortunate
in that its way is charted, at least to
the extent of the specific dangerous
rocks and reefs upon which its prede-
cessor came to grief. 1t has also in
the Presidents letter of invitation to
the conferees set of sailing direc-
tions, something the former confer.
enee lacked and which 1t sadly missed.
Carrying farther the simile of naviga
ton, the crew of the second craft has
been more happily chosen, and the
"artieles' they have signed are more
calculated to inspire good will and
teamwork. And this second ship, in
stead of three, is to fly single fla g
the flag Of the whole American people.
1t is to be hoped that the navigators
will steer the conference on a course
safely away from the borders of that
Sargasso sea of wrecked Utopian
dreams, where the derelicts 20 end
lessly round and round, and will keep
it headed straight toward such prac
tical things as have chance of being
realized in time to help the world get
well of some of its present ailments.
What the situation calls for is a
broad declaration of principles, fair
to those who work for hire. fair to
those who hire them, and fair to the
great consuming public, which must
pay the hire of the one and the profits
of the other. And when these prin.
ciples have been conceived and de.
clared,' there should be devised the
machinery, largely-planned and i'm.
pressive in its character. to make them
effective. 49,"
Those whom the President has called
to sit in the conference are practical
men, skilled in large affairs. Some
of them are conspicuous in world:
renowp- for practical altruism-ingre.
dients in which there is hope a cure
for social and industrial ills may be
found. Praeticability alone will not
suffice; altruism alone is a futility.
In the two there is promise. May the
industrial conference find the proper
combination. =.

The Attorney Generals Appeal.

Attorney General Palmer appeals to
the people. He adjures them not to
be stampeded, but to support the all.
thorities in the matter of the coal
strike. =.
The appeal is entitled to considera-
ton on two scores. Q) 1t comes from
an official who understands the ques-
tion from investigation. He has lis
tened to both sides. Representative
of the miners and representatives of
the operators have conferred with
him. Moreover, as a public official,
charged with heavy responsibilities, he
has kept the publie's interests in view.
He has thus qualified for the role of
adviser, and, as we may all believe,
speaks now, not only from informa.
tion, but from sober appreciation of
what the country faces.
(2) He has carried himself thus far
in the business with firmness and
courage. He has not taken sides as
between the miners and the operators.
His only aim has been to serve the
public, whose representative he is. He
wants coal mined in quantities to in
sure the comfort of the people and
the continued operation of all their
industries that depend upon fuel. He
wants the miners to receive good
wages for their labor, and the opera.
tors good dividends on their invest
ments.

good wages-not as well adjusted to
the changing times as should have
been, but an increase is offered in
sum sufficient to meet present needs.
The operators have been receiving
good dividends-better, it is asserted,
than always deserved.
The high cost of living enters into
the equation, as it does into every
equation of the day. 1t is a very real
thing. 1t affects all classes and con-
ditions. The aim, the keenest desire,
of all men. in public place who may
assist is to lower the fgures-bring the
necessaries of life in particular in
sustaining quantities within reach of
the average purse.
But, important as that question is.
there is one still more. important.
While endeavoring to lower the cost
of living, we must endeavor to
heighten appreciation of our gov.
eminent and what it stands
for. 1t is a government of the peo.
