WOE TO THE vICToRsl

If defeat Of the treaty of peace
by republican senators was a vic
tory for their party, leaders o.
zhe G. 0. p. are assurely not de
meaning themselves as yictors
They are growing cautious, timid
apologetic Chairman Hays of the
republican national committee has
ordered that soundings of public
sentiment be taken in every baili-
wick of his partisan congressman
to determine the extent Of the re-
action following the treaty's re-
lection He is showing fear that
the people s verdict ma hold him
and the senatorial reactionaries
responsible for prolonging indus
trial unrest, the high cost of liv-
ing, burdensome taxation, the
danger of international complca-
tions and all the other concomit-
am evils Of war,
There are evidences, then, that
The senator's who strangled the
treaty and prevented formal
conclusion of peace have least Of
all found favor with the politi-
cians Of their own party. 1t is
not too much to believe that,
when the signs Of popular disap-
proval begin to multiply, these
senators may be blamed by the
very leaders including Will II. |
Hays-who inspired and encour-
aged them to make ratification of
the treaty a game of politics in
stead of momentous duty in be-
half of their country and the en-
tire world.
1t is already manifest that Sen
ator Lodges proposal to make
the treaty an issue in the presi-
Dental campaign has caused ire
pidation among the practicals"
Of the G. 0. p They do not wei
come the prospect of so plain and
specific question being referred
to the people They prefer to
stake their hopes ON generalities
md platitudes They know in adj
vance that the voters could easily
iecide which Of the two parties
spoke the will and sought the
Welfare of the country during the
light to adopt the treaty and end
he war.

FUEL OIL HoLD-Up

Last summer fuel oil, which is
the residum after gasoline and
other valuable products are ex-
tracted from crude oil, was sell
ing at % cents per barrel. Later
the price went to a dollar and as
the fuel famine began to pinch it
was raised to $3.50. The latter
part Of last week, the refiners
were asking from "a to $3.50 per
barrel. AT a meeting Of refiners
IN Tulsa this week it was decid-
cd that $500 barrel was a fair
price to ask for it, Gear shortage
and shortage Of gasoline and 9th
er commodities being given as
the reason for the tremendous
hike in price.
Now there may be some deep
mysteries about this thing. which
the mind Of the layman cannot
fathom, but, Oh face of it. who
can see anything in it but a hold
up OF the rawest sort2 If the
coal miners are to be thought
heartless in making outrageous
demands and attempting to freeze
the country into submission, no
less can be said of oil refiuers
who at such time would make
capital Of the dire necessities of
the situation. The attorney gen
eral is threatening to take hand |
in the matter and it is to be hoped |
that the government proceeds |
with the same vigor that il has
manifested in dealing with the
miners.

Labor's Bill Of Rights.

The nine principles embodied in the
.'bil of rights for labor" submitted TO
the Peace Conference by the Interna-
tional Commission on Labor Legisla-
ton for inclusion in the peace treaty
present nothing radical in view of the
course Of labor legislation and prac-
tice in the United States, though they
may appear revolutionary In some
countries.
They call for recognition Of the
right of association by employers and
workers "for all lawful purposes" for
special protection Of women and chill
dren In labor; for wages adequate to
maintain a reasonable standard Of
life; for equal pay for men and
women doing work Of equal quantity
and quality; for the eight hour day.
the forty-eight hour week and a
weekly day Of rest for all workers
wherever these are possible; for gov
eminent enforcement Of laws to pro-
tect labor; for equal treatment Of
alien workers lawfully within any
country; and declare that "in right
and in fact the labor Of human be-
ing should not be treated rs merchan-
disc or nm article of commerce"
The theory that the state has no
proper interest in the conditions I'M
der which Its citizens labor has been
pretty generally abandoned In civilized
communities. When dispute arises in
them over proposed legislation for the
protection Of workers 1t has to do
with the practicability or necessity of
the projected reforms, not with the
principle on which they are based. In
this country We have laws limiting
the work hours Of women, anti-child
labor enactments, minimum wage acts,
eight hour laws, State inspection sys-
, tens. a mass OF legislation regulating
intimately the relations Of employer
and employee. Some States have
progressed more rapidly than others
In such matters, but In none of them
Is the obligation or the Government
to protect workers denied.
When the machinery advocated by
the International Commission on
Labor Legislation to raise the stand
ards of labor throughout the world to
the plane attained In the most adj
vanced countries Is examined 1t ap-
pears to be clumsy and pnwieldy,

1t is Of course too early yet TO judge
Of the value OF the Marshall Stillman
club enterprise hopefully launched last
week in Harlem clubhouse. but the
plan OF the practical men who are
backing the scheme Is likely to gain
wide sympathetic interest. A we'll
equipped gymnasium, athletic instruc-
ton with boxing prominently featured,
locker rooms and baths are the chief
attractions other entertainment than
that afforded by athletics may be pro-
vided by members who can sing or
play the piano. No lectures, no sermons,
no religious instructions: any young
man is eligible for membership who
prefers to pass his evenings in such a
club rather than in saloons, dance
halls or pool rooms; basis of support
dues payable by members who can az
ford to pay them. or payable for those
who cannot AFFORD them by "friends
down town" Tho rules and regulations
for members seem to amount to about
this: Mind your own business and
be mannerly." We heartily wish great
