COST MILLIONS-ALL LOST.
Longshoremen Strike in New York
Comes to End.

New York, Nov. 6.-The strike Of
10000 longshoremen, which has tied
up port activities here for several
weeks, appeared to have been broken
today.
The deciding factor was the surren-
der of the ''insurgent" strikers who
promised Mayor Hylan yesterday they
would return today at the old rate of
pay, pending decision from the ma
tional adjustment commission for a
hearing.
Steamship owners would not. haz-
ard guess today as to their approx
innate loss. Early in the strike officials
of the United States shipping board
estimated daily loss of 81 900 900
to $1,500,000. On this basis the cost
would be between $25,000,00 and
$40,000,000.

with deadly drugs is to prevent the crea
ton of new generations Of victims. But
as regards those already ensnared by drug
habits, he is wrong.
1t is not true that only per cent OF
dope" victims can be cured, any more
than it is true that dope user is con-
demned to death in six years. Some ex-
perts say that it is quite feasible to cure the
majority Of addicts, by giving them defin-
tie and well known medical treatment that
deprives them of the drug hunger, and then
keeping drugs out Of their way thereafter
1t is always possible for them to form the
same habit again. But they can be freed
from the craving and given a fresh start.
Society owes it to these victims not to
deprive them of hope, but to provide means
for setting them on the right path again,
and then keeping temptation out of their
way.

how things come right when we'd exolaim, This

report-the pieces still are coming down. The dark

so true that in 1lffy the Yankee plane
was riddled with bullets. 1t. Coles
fought back as best he could, but the
odds were too great, and he turned and
made for his own camp with all the

Germans couldn't see their prey escape

The Luxury Tax"

EPHE so-called "tax on luxuries" IN
cluded in the new revenue bill will
undoubtedly make great deal OF
trouble and expense for the retail stores.
In this respect it is open to criticism. But
SO far as the basic principle OF the tax IS
concerned, its soundness and general falr-
ness must be admitted.
Everybody in the United States is al
ready paying pretty heavy federal taxes,
directly or indirectly. With most people
these taxes bear heavily on the necessares
Of life. They hit the poor harder than the
rich, because a larger percentage OF the
poor family's income goes for food ana
other essential commodities which have
risen most in price. 1t is right, therefore,
to raise additional taxes from goods which,
generally speaking, are not necessary,
but which the average citizen regards as
"luXury.'
Thus the new per cent tax is imposed
on shirts costing more than So apiece, on
umbrellas costing more than 81, on Wo-
mems hats costing more than $15, on shoes
and slippers costing more than $40 par,
on mems socks over 81 pair and women S
stockings over So a pair, on purses and
handbags over $3.50, on suitcases over $25,
on picture frames over $40, on lamps over
$25, etc.
In all of these items and the rest of the
20 named in the clause, it is quite evident
to the normal mind that good, service
able and perhaps also beautiful article can
be obtained within the limit set, and that
any man OF. woman who buys the higher
priced article does so from deliberate and
luxurious preference, and so can presum-
ably afford to pay for the indulgence.
The uniform per cent tax on jewelry is
more open to question, but to the general
application of this tax the public as whole
will hardly make much objection.

prepared by joint legislative committee
with the assistance of the bar associations

be an admirable compilation, which will

cedure, prevent justice from being thwart-
ed to so great an extent by technicalities,
shorten 1.-THE laws delay and make less
trouble for legal officers of all kinds ami
less expense for the public.
The same task has been undertaken in
some of the other states, with more or less
success. The reform is sorely needed in
every state in the union.
In no other country in the world have
judicial legislation and practice run to
such riotous and wasteful excess as in the
United States. The laws ought to be re-
vised and re-revised, until the principles
and processes of justice become so simple
and uniform that they can be easily applied
and easily understood not only by the legal
profession but by the general public. There
is little gain, even for lawyers, in continu-
ing to make the law mysterious maze.
