good thing that the ornaments Of the world should DO re-
|duced. Also. It has been quite generally admitted that
there can be no substantial reduction without internation-
al agreement to that effect. The League constitution.
proposed reduction through common sreement
The clause covering that feature provides that a plan
Of reduction shall be formulated by the League; that this
plan shall be framed with a view to suitable provision for
the actual needs OF each nation; and that the adoption
of this plan shall not be binding ON any nation. But II
lis further provided that a nation having once adopted the
plan and brought its forces to the strength prescribed,
shall not thereafter increase them within ten years with
out permission from the League. That is the substance
OF the whole matter.
In the formulation of the plans to be made the
United States will have an equal voice with the other
great nations, and its assent to any plan proposed will be
necessary before that plan can be submitted even as the
recommendation Of the League. The congress OF the
United States will then Use its discretion as to the adop-
ton of the plan. The only restriction which is placed on
our freedom Of action is that after we have accepted .
plan which~we have aided in framing We shall abide by
its terms for ten years unless the other participants-who,
BY the way, may be supposed to have some rights are
willing to accept a modification at an earlier date.
OF course there comes up the old question Of the re.
lnquishment Of sovereignty. II by sovereignty is meant
freedom Of action, there would be a form of relinquish"
ment in the acceptance Of such an agreement There is
a REIMBURSEMENT of freedom of action in every agreement
made among human beings. Men agree with each other
that they will do certtin things. Thereafter they are bound
to do those things unless released by the persons to whom
their promises have been made. Every treaty between
nations involves that feature. But we do not consider it
reasonable ordinarily to make treaties.
One fact which has often been cited is peculiarly
pertinent in this connection For more than a century
the United States has been bound by a treaty not to main
tain battleships in the Great Lakes. Great Britain IS
bound by a similar treaty. The treaty has been faithfully
observed. Yet nobody has worried about the sacrifice of
our sovereignty. t&'

STRIKE BREAKING
There is usually eYi

There is usually evident a note Of apology, or at least
Of defense, in: connection with the employment of what
are known as strike breakers. And this attitude is moi
without reason. On too many occasions in the past large
employers Of labor have sought to evade the demands OF
their employees for fair treatment by employing profes-
sional thugs, not to perform. the labor which has been
discontinued. but to provoke riots and force the regular
employees into submission. In many of these cases the
men who rebeled were men who had been imported into
this country under false promises. and who had been re-
duced to a state of desperation by the acts Of unscrupu-
lous men. Hence the'strike breaker has not been held In
very high esteem, nor. in most cases. did he deserve to be.
There has been a decided change in the attitude OF
employers and employees alike. There are still the stand
patters and irreconcilable ones on both sides, but the pro-
cess Of enlightenment has had its effect There is less
tendency to employ the professional thug than formerly,
and less color Of excuse for his employment.
Because OF sentiment and tradition, largely, employ
es; do not like to be charged with employing strikebreak-
es, and the name still arouses strikers to anger. Gov
eminent troops are being employed to unload some ships
in New York harbor which have been held up by the long
shoremen's strike. but the army officials wish it to be
understood that these men are employed only in the un-
loading Of government vessels at government docks.
But as = matter Of common sense, why should SOL
diers not be employed in the unloading of other ships if
the occasion arises? 1t is conceded that the armed forces
of the nation should not be used to bring about by force
any settlement Of. controversies between individuals
which should be settled by the employment Of reason,
or, possibly, by the authority of a competent court. But
emergencies arise: The ships that lie in the harbor are
loaded with goods that. the people need. The ships them
selves are badly needed for the carrying of other goods;
And soldiers would be as appropriately employed in aid
ing this to supply the peoples needs as in any other work
to which they could be assigned.

CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

The basic fact that in business authority and re-
sponsibility must so together is well set forth in this
clipping from an eastern publication
1t is a very wise saying that you cannot eat your
cake and have it too" or as they say In England, you
cannot have it both ways" The workman cannot at the
same time exercise the authority of a proprietor and also
be free of all responsibility and risk in the outcome. Of
the business. Somebody makes a large investment to
workmen that he intends to carry on the business per-
manentfy and upon the common, prevailing conditions
as affecting labor. He cannot well promise more, and
he would be foolish to make the investment if he did not
expect to do this. He may fail and the workmen may
be thrown out of employment, but in that event he has
sunk his capital in the effort and there is every reason
furnishes the equipment, which represents labor done
in the past, assumes the responsibility Of paying fixed
wages and takes the risks Of loss against the chances of
profit. If he wants to use more capital than his own,
as Is usually the case. he enters into the same kind Of
a bargain for that as he does for labor-agreeing to pay
a fixed return. which the lender accepts without asking
sponsibility go together. When any party to- the under
taking insists upon a guaranteed return he necessarily
comedies some compensatory condition to the guarantor,
and naturally it is that the latter shall have, tif not the
full say, at least the chief say in the management Of the
business. NJ

THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 80. 1913.
NOT AN INDIVIDUAL MATTER

A strike is not an Individual matter. OF the right OF
the individual to quit his employment at his pleasure.
assuming that he has fulfilled whatever contracts hc may
have made. there can be no question. And this un-
doubted right to quit is often confused with the right
to strike, which Is a separate and very different matter.
Striking is a joint act, performed in pursuance to a
common understanding. and. in nearly every case. with
out any intent that the severance Of relations between
employees and employee shall be permanent. 1t is a tenn
porary cessation OF work for the purpose Of enforcing
certain demand. and the method Of enforcement en-
ployed is that. Of inflictins injury on the employer.
Added to this there is often the deliberate purpose to in
fnct injury on the general publii in order that the public
may bring pressure to bear on the employer and force
him to grant the demands which have been made.
We have an example of the application Of these
two motives in the threatened strike OF coal miners.
Should the strike go into effect, its effect will be felt first
by the mine owners. whose property and equipment will
remain idle. They will suffer loss of business while the
strike lasts. But there is also an appeal to q more po-
tent agency. the general public The strike is. called
at the opening Of the winter season when the demand for
coal is greatest The expectation is that the public will
be SC, greatly inconvenienced and subjected to such great
suffering that from all sections Of the country will go up
the demand that the mines be operated on any terms
and at any cost. The expectation is that the owners will
be SO importuned that they win be forced to yield. the
miners. meanwhile. standing firm. and relying for their
own security on the indisputed right Of the individual
to quit.
1t viii be noted that one Of the demand made by
the miners is that in the future contracts shall expire
November 1 instead of April i, as at present. Tho OBJ
sious purpose Of this is to fix the time Of making new
wage agreement at the very moment when any, cessa-
ton Of mine production would be most disastrous. Mr..
Lewis. acting as spokesman Of the strikers. also explains
that II the strike were deferred until spring large stocks
would have been accumulated and the strikers would
then be unable 10 enforce their demands. Some people
may be inclined to wonder. by the way. why any en-
phasis should be placed by the miners on the dating and
termination Of contracts when the proposed strike would
be a direct violation Of contracts already existing, and
violation would be equally easy at any other time.
A strike is the result Of a common agreement to
work injury to others to enforce demands regardless Of
their reasonahleness and justice.
If the demands are just and reasonable there
ought to be other ways OF enforcing them. If they are
not just and reasonable it ought not to be possible for
any body of men to enforce them.

Almost What .-His-Name', Turn

One of Mark Twain's famous characters became so
incensed at the people of his community that he cussed
them all, severally and: collectively, cussed them up hill
and down dale, backward and forward, and then, for
fear that he had omitted any of them, started and did it
all over misunderstanding by name those whose names
he knew, and, where Was uncertain Of a name. referring
to the victim of his wrath as Whats-his-name.
Mark Twain was fond of exaEseration, and.rost peo.
pie consider this passage az an amusing bit of exasgera-
ton. But just look at the Grand Forks American. The
other day, in one article. it lanabasted the Grand Forks
business men generally, the. merchants particularly, a
majority of the university faculty, most of the university
students, and the wonen's clubs Of the city. That seemed

CHAPTER xxx1x-continued.

But Marie was not looking at him
She stood with chest heaving and rest:
less eyes searching the veranda. Sht
looked at and through the groups that
were approaching. When a club at
tendant ran down the steps ahead Of
the oncoming crowd. and hurried ur
to them, her face lighted. 1s
"Ah, he comes to tell mel" she said
softly.
She pulled her hand from Mendall't
and went to meet the boy. Mendall
followed her mechanically. "Mr. Mac.
Allister has Gomez" she asked quick
ly.
II don't know 'um," the boy said
IA messenger boy brought this while

Marie tore open the envelope. Men.
dali felt rather than saw, her stiffen
and, before her hand crushed the pa
Fper, his downward glance saw tn.
Spanish words which were 81 bodily
printed that they were easily legible:

Marie stood quite still, looking
down at the crushed paper in hel
hand, and Mendall} saw the gray tin
creep over her face and throat, turn
ing her ashen. He could not guess tn.
meaning. Of the note, but Marie's ter.
ror sobered him completely.
What is 1t? Anything
