The Senate and the Steel Strike,

The members of the Senate labor
committee who have gone to Pitts
burgh in furtherance of the Senate's
Investigation of the steel strike are
justified in their visit. They will re-
main but few days, but long enough
to. sense the situation from the local,
the. intimate, point of view. And that
is important.
Sessions, it is true, might have con
tinued here. More witnesses from a
distance might have been summoned,
and have contributed to the store of
tie committees information. But
the visit to the scene Of the commo.
tion, and the informal, as we'll as
the formal, talks with strikers, with
those who have remained on their
jobs, with employers, and with inter.
ested neighbors and lockers on, sh ouId
be Of substantial benefit to. those
charged with reporting to the Senate
on the business. ~ :: -,1

the conference was conceived or the
realities Of the task it has in hand.
A congress Of transcendent power, re-
moved from the necessity Of dealing
with actualities and committed only
to the IDEAL might, as old Omar wish
ed to do, make DER this sorry scheme
Of things entire; but unhappily, may
be, the actualities Of the situation can
not be thus lightly brushed aside.
Man has not yet attained that perfect
form where he is willing to forego
all selfish things and labor only in
the common veal.
The group headed by Mr.. Gompers
was selected to defend and further
the interests of labor. The group
headed by Mr.. Wheeler is in the con-
ference to render a like service to
management and capital. Either
group would be derelict in its duty if,
in order to appease the other, it sac
rifced any vital interest. The third
group, representing the public and
which DR.. Eliot adorns, is charged
with responsibility to see that capital
and labor, in composing their differ
ences, do not do so at the expense Of
the people as a whole. In this group
are captains Of industry and con-
trollers of capital in mass, but, hav-
ing accepted appointment by the
President as representatives of the
public, they are in honor bound to
subordinate the interests of their in
dustries and their capital to the gen.
eral good.
And in the rules governing its pro.
ceedings the conference has made the
further wise provision that no two
groups may unite to override the
third. No program of any sort may
issue as the product of the confer
ence unless all three groups have sub
scribed to it. In that way, and in
that way only, could it be assured that
justice would be arrived at. For,
while the burden of talk is Of justice
as between capital and labor, the real
purpose Of the conference is that jus.
tice may be achieved for all. A struc-
ture erected upon any other founda-
tion would not long endure.

ton might serve only to complicate
matters already complicated.
But the Senate decreed otherwise !;
and now that it has taken the matter
up it should 60 through with the
work thoroughly.
The steel strike, in its full bear
ings, is the biggest thing of the kind
yet staged. The money interests in
volved are enormous, and reach in
many directions. 1t is appalling to
consider what the inevitable results
would be of a protracted interruption
of steel production.
The number of men employed in
the business is very large, and many
are skilled laborers Of high class.
The pay rolls are long, and carry huge
sums. The wage -earners live and sup
port families on their daily employ
ment. No work, no pay; no pay, no
human comfort. Hence the inestima-
BILE value of busy mills and steady
work. -. '-t-
The strike is so big thing, indeed,
it has been introduced into the indus
trial conference, where it may add to
difficulties which were already great.
On every account, then, since the
Senate is to express itself on the ques.
ton, that expression should be based
on all the facts available; and the
Senate has the power to 60 far after
facts. And, presumably, there will be
no delay about the committees report,
or the Senate's disposition Of it. An
early settlement Of the dispute is de.
sirable in the interests of all, and the
Senate's action, whatever it may be,
will, Of course, figure in the settle.

Motor Thieving.

A bill is now pending in Congress
to increase the penalties for the steal
ing of automobiles and to constitute
as a federal offense the taking of
stolen cars from one state into an
other. The passage of this bill, il
is believed, will help greatly in the
suppression Of motor thefts, which
have become serious evil through.
out the country. The present penal.
ties are not adequate for the punish
ment Of those who steal cars. The
chances Of detection are slender and
the gains are rich. Cars that have
been stolen can be easily run out of
reach and marketed. That there is
a well organized business in the buy
ing and selling of stolen automobiles
is definitely understood, and every
possible effort is made by the police
to locate and identify those engaged
in it.
In Washington motor stealing has
gone 80 far that the auto owners are
in constant dread Of finding their ma
chimes stolen, even from garages. A
car that is left unlocked in q parking
row is at the mercy Of watchful
thieves, who are alert to seize oppor.
tunities for loot. Locks are broken,
doors are forced. Orders for cars
kept in garages are forged.
In these circumstances the best way
to fight the evil is to make the penal
ties as stiff as possible and to increase
the number Of policemen charged
with the special duty Of watching 70.
motor thieves. A special tquad has
lately been organized here for that
PURPOSE and has. already had consid.
cradle success in rounding up the
thieves.
This is no longer a matter of meSe
"joy- riding as the phrase once ran.
The motor thieves, as q rule, do not
take cars without owners permission
for the purpose Of riding about and
then abandoning the machines. They
are professional thieves, seeking prop.
erty to take and sell. Stricter watch
of license tags, better records Of own
ership, the institution Of intercity
lists Of car owners, these devices will
aid in the prosecution Of. the cam.
paign. In some cities every car owner
must carry about with him constantly
clear proof Of his right Of possession.
Such system would help here.

Why Conference Il Grouped.

At yesterdays session Of the Presi.
dents industrial conference, DR..
Charles W. Eliot, the distinguished
president emeritus Of Harvard Uni
versity, voiced protest against the
plan Of organization which divided
the conference into groups. one group
representing employers and invested
capital, second labor and the. third
the general public. It wss his idea
that the conference should function
as a delegate assembly, each delegate
an integral unit and a free agent,
privileged to VOICE and vote his own
convictions regardless Of the interests
he had been chosen to represent. He
believed they should concsrn them
selves only incidentally with the af-
fairs of those from whom they held
credentials"
With all due respect to DR.. Eliot.

Industrial Issues Joined.

With submission to the Presidents
industrial conference this morning Of
the proposals of the employers group,
representing the views Of capital and
management as to what constitutes
industrial justice and how it may be
maintained, the issues between capital
aud labor, would appear to be drawn,
so far as they concern the purposes
of the present conference.
When the employers proposals are
read alongside those submitted yes
terday from the labor group by Sam
'uel Gompers, it is not possible for a
third party not directly interested to
discern where there are differences
sc fundamental and so vital that they
are incapable of reconcilement.
Both capital and labor agree that
the worker should have living wage.
They agree that the hours of labor
should be such as not to constitute a
menace to health and that the worker
should have time for recreation, home
life and acknowledgment. They agree
that working conditions should be as
tolerable as the situation in given
industry will permit. They agree that
women doing work equal with that Of
men under the same conditions should
receive the same rates of pay and
should be accorded the same oppor-
tunities for training and advance
mont.
The employers declare for the prin-
ciple Of the open shop, but admit the
right Of individual employers to- agree
with. their employees that the shop
shall be closed, either in favor Of or
against members of labor unions. The
labor group does not make any de-
mand for the 3closed shop" in the in
terest Of unionism. The labor group
demands the right of collective bar
gaining through chosen representa-
tives. The employers give at least
partial recognition to that right in a
proposal that "each establishment
/. should develop contact and full op-
poftunity for Interchange of views
between management and men, through
individual or collective dealing or a
combination Of both,n but they insist
"no employer should be required to
deal with men or groups .ofn1en, who
are notshis employees or chosen by and
from among them"
Here,y then, is an issue squarely
drawn. The employers are willing to
deal with union officials provided they
are employees in the shop where dis
pute has arisen, but not otherwise.
The labor group insists on the right
of the men to select their spokesman
regardless Of his employment. If this
differences can be compromised, there
remains onsthe issues Joined no other
obvious obstacle to some sort of an
amicable agreement.

'sWell Enough"

AoA0As
Both plump and pink was Ezra scrim.
The fields were fair about his door.
The barn was big and neat and trim.
It held choice and plenteous store.
And as he looked about the place,
He said In a contented tone,
"Let others run tho rapid race.
I'll just let we'll enough alone.
Then Ezra's feet began to lag,
And less productive was the field.
The old barn roof began to sag
Where once the floor bent meath
the yield.
The scene serenely he surveyed,
And said, "At least, It is my own.
Though few Improvements have been
made,
I'll just let well enough alone"
While reapers sing in lands nearby,
No echoes rise in Ezra's heart.
The rafters in confusion lie.,
The fields do but q feeble part.
And wintry brsezes seem to bring
A message where he sits .slonss,
TITS thrive ar fail! There's no such
