buzzing around the New York city
hall. A Hylan boom for something or
other would not be surprising out
come of this affair.
Meanwhile great part of New
York is walking, or struggling with
more desperation than usual for ac-
commodations ON the few lines of
transit now operating. A general trac-
tion strike over there is tremendously
serious thing, affecting the largest
group of people that can be reached
by a similar disturbance anywhere in
the country. Literally millions are
hit by the strike. Distances are so
great in the daily course of the aver
age New Yorker that a tie-up Of the
lines means actual inability on the
part of a great number to reach their
BUSINESS places at all. The prolonga-
tion of the strike for two or three days
is certain to cause very serious re-
suit. The very magnitude of the prob
lem is likely to force solution in
short order, whatever may be the eff
feet of Hylan's obviously political
play.

Our mob troubles and our reproaches
grow out of combination Of the reck-
less and the immature. Men of pas
sion and unbridled tongues "start
something" and growing boys with
out reflection swell the crowd and help
carry on. When successful, their num-
bers often explain their success.
Usually, they are lacking in true grit,
being in the wrong. In this New York
ease. one resolute officer, with a re-
volver and the right on his side, stood
off howling gang of two thousand,
and saved his prisoner.

A Plain Warning of Danger.

Conflicting accounts are given of the
accident at the grade crossing Of the
Marlboro road with the Chesapeake
Beach railroad, which came within an
ace of providing shocking tragedy
for the people of Washington yester-
day. The driver of the automobile
declares that the crossing was masked
so that he could not see the approach
of train Representatives Of the
railroad assert that the crossing is not
masked, that the train was visible and
that the wrecked car was driven upon
the tracks at high speed, going around
waiting motor in doing so. But the
fact remains that there is a grade
crossing at this point and that it is
not protected, save by signs. There
are no bells and no gates. 1t is just
the sort of crossing that prevails in
numbers in all parts of the country, a
plain intersection of road and track,
simply marked by notice board. It
is the kind of crossing that is almost
daily taking toll of life in the United
States, perhaps directly in consequence
Of the carelessness of motorists, per-
haps because of conditions that not
even careful motorist or driver could
meet in defense. And the miserable
part Of the matter is that these cross
ings are permitted to remain after
warnings such as that Of yesterday,
which clearly show that they are dan
gerous. Not until horrible catas-
trophe occurs, with wholesale loss of
life, is any move made toward cor
rection, and then only slowly, and
with poor success, as a rule. Will the
state Of Maryland take cognizance Of
this death trap now in the light of

New York's Traction Strike.

New York's big traction strike, com
pletely tying up the subways and ele-
waited lines, affords glorious oppor-
tunity for Mayor Hylan to demon
strate his overwhelming love for the
"plain people" He has addressed a
pronunciamento to the strikers in the
form Of an appeal to them to let him
speak to them personally at q mass
meeting. He tells them that they are
being used as catspaw for the Inter
borough Company, the receiver Of
which technically bankrupt concern he
accuses Of plotting the strike as a
means Of securing an Scent fare. He
says that the company financed the
strike literature and permitted the
free use of the company's phones for
the arrangement of the walkout. He
charges that if the Scent fare is
granted the company will not meet
the demands of the men. He accuses
the leaders of the brotherhood of col
lusion with the company. Altogether
q sorry mess.
Hylan is rather spectacular sort
of chap, who has contrived to keep
himself in the limelight ever since he
took Office. He is either shrewd him
self or has shrewd advisers. He poses
now a. the friend Of the "downtrod.
and his motive is not far to seek. Po-
litical preferment bees are always

The kidnapped Aviators.

Two American Army aviators, while
ON patrol Of the border, have fallen
into the hands of Mexican bandits,
who are holding them for a ransom Of
$4,000. The circumstances of their
capture are not known. They may
have mistaken their course and flown
over into Mexico and been there forced
to land, or they may have landed on
this side Of the line and been taken
by the outlaws upon American. soil.
Whatever the facts, they are in
jeopardy of their lives if the sum de-
manded is not forthcoming. 1t is indi-
Gated that the gold will be sent and
the mems liberation secured, if pos
sible.
kidnapping for ransom is favorite
enterprise Of the Mexican bandits who
infest the border, apparently working
with little interference from the fed
eral government. This case is the lat
est Of several which have occurred
within few weeks. American patience
is already strained to a tense point,
land the capture of two Army flyers
while on patrol comes near to a climax.
The Carranza government may seek
exculpation from blame for this out
rage ON the familiar ground that the
country where it occurred is in state
Of disturbance, and that it must not
be held accountable for the lack of
order or the activities of outlaws,
whom it is constantly endeavoring to
apprehend. Repeated instances of in
ability to control the Mexican people
or to maintain order in Mexican ter
ritory serve to indicate the futility of
the government at Mexico City, with
which alone this government has rela-
tions. -fs -,
If the United States makes an issue
Of this case it win merely have adopted
it as climax of. long series Of out
RACES and ofenses. The usual excuses
are to be expected from Mexico City,
phrased in familiar form. In tho light
of the recent warning given to the
Carranza administration that change
Of policy might be forced by the repe
titien of offenses against our nationals
in Mexico it is not difficult to conceive
that this affair may become the turn
ing point in the long course Of patient
submission to the plain incapacity Of
the government Of Mexico to guaran
tee security to life and property with

Mobs, and the Mob Spirit.

In an alteration in New York Sat
arday night between negro and a
white man, the latter was slashed about
the face and neck with knife, and
sfeh to the pavement bleeding profuse-
]y. A crowd, estimated at two thou

negro. who protested his innocence.
Nevertheless, cries of "Get a rope !"
and Hang him " were at once raised,
and the officer. pistol in hand, had
great difficulty in protecting his pris-
oaer-
Is there anything unlikely in the
as--=aption that probably not one of
the men who raised those cries had
witnessed the alteration? They sim
ply saw bloody and bleeding man
lying on the sidewalk, and another
man in the clutch of an officer Presto
The mob spirit. Nothing more than
the bare spectacle was necessary to
raise it.
Suppose the officer had been of in
ferior mettle, had surrendered his
prisoner, and the mob had done him to
death. Would his executioners have

A Strike Fever.

Has the governments machinery fol

lapsedl From the frequency with
which great numbers of men walk out
of their semplOyments and tie up in
dustries and public utilities, in differ
ent parts of the country, it would
seem that the federal governments
measures for adjusting labor disputes
have come to be confined wholly to
efforts at arbitration after the fact.
There is in truth no bulwark to pro.
.tect society today from the impulsive
actions Of strike promoters. Several
of the strikes that have lately occurred
have been started without preliminary
negotiations upon the expressed de-
mands. Some of them have even been
begun without formal strike votes OF
. orders. A fever of impetuous wage.
grabbing is sweeping through the coun'
try.
In New York the entire subway and
elevated railroad system is tied up be-
cause the operatives demand so per
cent increases. Railroad fremen and
,Iardmen are demanding heavy ad.
yvances. Heretofore 10 per cent in
creases were regarded as large, but
now such boost of compensation is
looked upon as trifling. The race seems
TO be for the largest possible incre-
ment,
Of course, this process cannot con-
tinue without bringing crash Of some
sknd. These repeated wage demands,
Accompanied by strikes and threats of
violence, are certain to result in a
crisis. Every dollar added to the pay
rolls adds to the cost of living, already
SO high that the full power of the gov
ernment is being exercised to bring
about a -readjustment for the relief of
the overburdened public.
- A moratorium is needed, a period Of
= stability in which to seek and secure q
restoration Of normal prices, wages and
costs. The strike method will not pro-
dnce it. Rather is it calculated to
.hfing about collapse Of every sort
of value, wages with the rest.
An appeal from the highest author
'ity te. the workers Of the country not
to precipitate the evils of financial
crisis through hot-headed and unrea.
senable actions may be helpful ct this
sczitieal time. The most vigorous ap-
phcation Of such strike-prevention
methods as the government may pro-
vide is demanded to maintain as far as
'.possible the balance Of industrial con-
: ditipns.
