THOSE DECEPTIVE SIDEWAYS
A Distant Soldier Makes n Plea for
Distinctive Signs.

To THE EDITOR or TIE SUN--ST: As
pointed out in your editorial article. the
trustful visitor to the metropolis IL apt
to be misled by the two subway systems.
Even the omnisclent Manhattanite may
sometimes go astray. Those OF a Stats
teal turn might calculate the thousands
OF years lost annually by those who go
into the wrong hole in the ground.
Would 1t not be n good plan to have
distinctive types of entrance signs for
the two lines? For instance. the en-
trance signs Of the marlborough might
be blue with white letters. The b.
r. T. signs might have white ground
with black lettering. The lettering. too,
might be distinctive. WILDWOOD.

BLAME MASTER. NOT MAN.
Mr.. Wilson's Responsibility for Every
thing That Burleson Does.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Why
critcise or denounce Postmastcr-G General
Burleson for his progressive mismanage-
ment Of his department, his autocratic
conduct Of the telegraph systems and
his other sins7 In a letter to Senator
Miles Poindexter, May %, 1918, proving
that Burleson countenanced un-Ameri-
can. even pro-German, newspapers that
hattered the Administration, and perse-
cuted loyal American newspapers which
ventured to criticise II, the lato Colonel
Roosevelt said:
deal with Mr. Burleson and his &C
tions purely because he is the represen-
tative OF President Wilson, exactly as
is Secretary Baker. exactly as 10 Mr..
Creel. President Wilson Is responsible
for everything that Postmaster General
Burieson and Secretary Baker and Mr..
Creel do or leave undone. Nothing that
any one of those gentlemen says. moth
Ing that any one OF them doee and
nothing that any one of them leaves
undone is of the slightest Importance
except because he is President Wilson's
representative. appointed by President
Wilson to q position of high govern
mental Importance in the great crisis
and serving as a medium through which
President Wilson carries out his poll
oles affecting this country.
Criticise Burleeon if you will, but
place the responsibility for him and his
misdeeds where it really belongs, and
where Colonel Roosevelt placed 1t, on
the shoulders Of President Wilson.

. At watervliet and ut Paris.

The Government gun works at
Watervliet are to be extended lmme-
diately In accordance with plans which
provide for "the greatest plant Of its
kind in the world, not excepting that
Of the Krupps in Germany"
Announcement to this effect has
been made at the arsenal and the
work will soon begin.
But We thought President WILSON
was forming league Of nations
which would make war impossible in
the future; that ornaments were to
be limited: that the business of pro-
ducing ploughshares was to undergo
startling increase coincident with
marked reduction in the output of
the modern equivalent Of swords.
At the new Watervliet there are to
be no facilities for the fabrication of
agricultural implements, but the ma
chlnery necessary for the construc-
tion Of eighteen inch guns Is to be
provided In abundance, the technical
authorities having decided, we are
given to understand, that guns of this
bore will be practicable and useful.
We do not pretend to understand
the details of the Administrators
policy, but we are willing to say that
so far as the safety and independence
Of the United States are concerned
we derive greater confidence from the
Watervliet project than from the pro-
gramme put forward in Paris.

War Board Damage to Business
and Jobs.

In submitting their designations to
Secretary REDFIELD the members Of
his Industrial Board take q sensible
view. They feel that II the Director
General Of Railroads will not accept
their fixed prices nobody else Is likely
to accept them. They are also cred
tied with believing that resumption
Of business on n large scale will be
impossible as long as the board re-
mains in existence, but that matters
will return to normal basis If the
board at once ceases to be factor"
1t Is true enough that the Indus
trial Board has done much more harm
than good in Its price fixing, because
consumers who might have bought in
a free market have waited to see
whether the board would not fix still
lower prices. 1t Is true enough also
that the board might fix prices till
doomsday and yet nobody buy steel
or coal or anything else at it's fixed
prices. But the board does itself an
injustice II it takes upon itself all
the blame for industrial stagnation
in one field and another. The mad
house War Labor Board has done Its
share--a very full share-in putting
the brakes on business that has
wanted to pick up speed, in even
shutting down business that was
struggling to keep on.
While the need of industry has been
buying orders and while the need of
labor has been jobs; while costs Of
production have been too high to re-
vive business that is dead or to con-
tinue business that Is still breathing
the breath of life-while everybody
has been trying to work out the prob
lem of reducing excessive costs so that
industrial machinery might turn and
wage earners might stay on the pay
rolls, the War Labor Board has con-
tinued, with award after award, to
slap up wages higher and higher. In
evltably, when an industrys costs
were already too high to sell its prod
ucts, still higher labor costs must put
1t out Of business altogether. Inevi-
tably the payroll which already was all
that an industry could bear must be
cut off entirely when decision Of the
War Labor Board made 1t insupport-
able by that industry.
So far as the industrial Board is
concerned it might easily come about
that an abandonment Of Its functions,
with its price fixing thrown into the
discard, might cause consumers to be-
gin to buy. AS they cleared up sur
plus mill stocks their demand might
send prices even higher than those
which the Industrial Board wished to
fix The law Of supply and demand
not only will let prices down when
they are too high for business to stand
but will send prices up when business
begins to bid actively for the growing
volume of supplies 1t needs as 1t gets
into full swing.
But piling wage costs on wage
costs when business is PROSTATE is a
throttle which will prevent 1t from
ever getting upon Its feet.
This isn't n question of cutting
wages before living costs come down.
Wages should never be cut, If wage
earners can be kept at work. until
excessive living costs have been forced
down. But when the great problem
of the day is to find work for men
who haven't 1t and to keep men at
work when they have 1t. to hoist
wages higher and higher. as the War
Labor Board has been doing, is sim
|! ply to cause a further &sssS0asD q

 Among the employers who would like 10 terminate the lockout They would like alone They do without sacrificing their membership in their association and the privileges which such membership brings to them
 Individual employers and workers equally helpless, Employers discovered that association akr it's advan ages and disadvantages together is better than independent action.
 Workers believe that association taking its benefits and it's evils into consideration, is better than going it alone.
 This situation ought to be understood regarding this and many other strikes In the recent machnists' strike the acted against the orders of their international They no strike benefits and subject expulsion from the union

Committee on Finance will be insep- , aTabIy attached to the coming Re publican tariff bill. which will proba- bly, be more widely known and dis cussed by our people than any other bill before the next Congress. It will be argued by the Democrats that you could not be a, chairman of so important a committee and in charge of so crucial a Dill unless the old Guard were in control of the Repubn- can party. This argument is likely l to be effective with great numbers O progressive Republicans, as well with Democrats disgusted with Will son and anxious to vote against him if they can.
 If you write the next tariff bill the people will believe and they are likely to be right that it is unduly favorable to special privilege and monopoly The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was fatal to the Republican party in 1912. What would Penrose tariff do to it in 1920?
 You are a liability. The undivided support Of all the forces you repre- sent would fall far short of carrying the Republican party to victory in 1920, even if the liquor interests had not lost their strangle hold on Ameri- can politics.
 On the other hand, the Republican party cannot win against the Demo- crats unless the farmers, the women, the progressives,- and some of the or Ganized workers vote with us. Your name as chairman of-the Committee on Finance would go far to insure their hostility to the Republican party
 The obvious fact is that you ought not to be chairman of the Committee on Finance. The mere possibility is q Republican misfortune. You know. better than any. other man, what a burden you have been to the Repub- lican party. You can not fail to know how much the success of the Republican party in 1920 means for the welfare of the nation, and how you are standing in the way.
 If you are not a gCod enough Re- publican. are you Q good enough American to withdraw your name?
