a drift mine with no shafts. MAX

The men entrapped, three white

will suffocate from the smoke.
Any attempt at rescue thus far
had been without result and an ef-

Mr.. Gompers Plays Safe
~Auad.

r. The American Federation of La
ssor has readopted an old policy in
deciding to make partisan
campaign for control Of the next
Nongress. 1t is going to play safe
..and avoid showdown. This is the
ssstrategy which Mr.. Gompers has

The Need of Immigration

That the war would affect immi-
grafton in one of two ways was long
ago foreseen. Either there would be
a renewal of the oldtime flood or it
would come close to failing alto
gether. A recent statement of the
lnter-Racial Council, along with
other eviderce, shows that the lat
ter alternative has been realized.
A million workers have emigrated
from the United States since the
armistice, and as many more are pre-
pairing to leave. Not more than
100000 immigrants are expected dur
ing the present year, although as
many as 100000 more laborers
will be needed. 1t is obvious that
the labor unions are disturbing them
selves needlessly if they fear ruin
GUS competition from newcomers.
The shortage will naturally ex-
aggerate conditions already serious.
The need of production was never
greater than now. Yet labor is ap-
parently bent on restricting it's ou.-
put. With more work to be done
and fewer to do it, the cry still is
for greater leisure, not greater in
dustry. A normal immigration could
not dissipate wholly the effects of
this tendency. The great majority
of immigrants are in the unskilled
class of workers, and it is difficult to
imagine how the work they have been
accustomed to do will get done at all.
There are various reasons why Eu-
rope is more attractive than it was
to the workers who used to look to
America as the land Of promise. It
has suffered heavily, to be sure, but
its power of recuperation Is great.
The idea that it would depend upon

The Foundation of Our Success
New York, Feb. S. 1920.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Granting we are in luck by hav-
ing General Wood as our candidate for
President, he could start right in on
our Congressman and Senator'S and
make them give the country a full days
work. We have a far better outlook
for sound business and plenty of it at
the present time than at any other mo-
ment In the comparatively young life
OF the United States. Make it point
that every child must attend school and
see that the teachers are paid living
wages. They work harder and many
more hours per year than either Con-
gressmen or Senators. Education is
the foundation of our country's success.
Enact some legislation to assist moth
ers who are willing to bear children
by financial assistance over a certain
number of months, to give our country
a far happier and healthier lot Of
youngsters.

us for reconstruction seems to have
been mistaken. The statement of
the council calls attention to one
circumstance which has been ignored
to some extent--that the countries
which have recently won their indie
pendence will offer new attractions
to their own people.
No one can deny, in the light Of re-
cent experiences, that the character
Of immigration should be strictly
guarded. But some plan of selective
immigration is, as the council says, a
pressing need just now. A shortage
Of 100000 laborers Is menace to
the national prosperity.

or at the end Of trip, Is plain
breach Of regulations; is illegal and
will subject the driver to discipline
by the Department Of Licenses. If
the case is fragrant enough his H.
cense will be taken away. The
Commissioner Of Licenses will ap-
preciate the reporting Of any such
cases. The car number and the IL
cense number should both be taken
down and submitted by letter, to-
gether with the specifications of the
episode. The office of the Division
of Licensed Vehicles Of the Depart
ment Of Licenses is at SIT West
Tifty-seventh Street. Incidentally
we learn that most of this profiteer-
ing thus far reported has turned
out to be the work of drivers op-
Grating without any license what
ever. Such driving is wholly il
legal and subjects the guilty chauf-
feur to arrest and punishment.
Such is the law, and it is obvious
that it should be the law. Every
honest, law-abiding taxi driver is
glad to abide by it. The size Of the
tip is quite another matter. The ink
someness of bad weather can be
taken care Of by increasing this ex-
ira allowance. Especially when
snow-covered streets produce con-
ditions destructive of health, to say
nothing Of springs, tires, chains and
rear axles, it is no more than right
that passenger should consider
these items. We believe that all
fair-minded travellers do.

An Impartial Verdict

We hope that the reports from
Albany which represent Speaker
Sweet as considering the use of
prospective appointments to the
Board of Regents as persuasive
factor upon upstate Republicans
who have become restive listeners
to Socialist evidence that proves
nothing are unfounded.
The debit side Of Mr.. Sweets ac-
count in the Socialist trials is
already long. 1t was his own star
chamber fashion Of initiating the
charges and his own sensational
method of stating them that stirred
the widespread resentment and con-
| founded the whole issue at stake.
Out of such laundering beginnings
it is exceedingly difficult to obtain
a verdict which will satisfy the
public of it's business. To compli-
cate the problem further with rumors
Of patronage is to render the situa-
tion hopeless.
Mr.. Sweet should deny the re-
ports at once if he is in position
to do so, and the.appointments under
discussion should bear out his de-
NAL. A grave judgment is presently
to be reached by the Assembly affect
ing the substance of our government
and the political welfare of our state.
| Unless every effort is made to re-
move politics and patronage from
influencing that verdict it cannot
command respect.
We have not observed any large
evidence Of Mr.. Sweets statesman
ship in the past. But we should
think that even he could see that his
one hope of rehabilitation in the
public regard lay in bending every
effort toward securing an impartial
and fair verdict upon the five sus-
pended Socialists. To convict them
by a dragooning Of a party vote
would complete his undoing. What
ever the verdict, it should bear plain
evidence Of being the fair and
courageous Judgment Of the jury.
Neither the Republican party nor
the State of New York can accept

Ohio. The President won largely

Ohio. The President won largely
because the split in the Republican
party was not entirely repaired.
1t is extremely difficult to organize
and maintain a Labor party in this
country. We have no labor class, in
the European sense. Those who
labor constitute q vast majority.
But they have no class consciousness
and no common interest They be-
long to all classes, all parties and
all economic groups. They think as
citizens. They resent being labeled
economically.
By avoiding the effort to label
them for political purposes, the
American Federation leaders escape
the embarrassment Of a count of
noses. Indorsing a Republican here
and Democrat there, they hope to
elect Congressman who will be CRATE
full for support which may have
turned the scale in close districts.
Thus they stoop to conquer. 1t is
a counsel of prudence.
Mr.. Gompers and his associates
see that any labor party appealing
to the country to indorse such
vagaries as the Plumb railroad
Specialization" plan would be over
whelmingly defeated. The country
is dead set against governmental
paternalism, with its inevitable
wastefulness, inefficiency and injus-
tice. So the Plumb plan supporters
have recognized the inevitable and
descended into the bombproof.
The old parties will apparently
have the field pretty much to them
selves this year. In the economic
sense they are both American and
Bolshevist- Mr.. Gompers has
discretion enough to realize that in
the present state Of public feeling a
separate radical labor party move
ment wouldn't have the ghost of a
chance. He is too experienced in
politics to allow himself to be made
the goat" of a forlorn straight
labor party's hope.

The Balky Taxi Driver

A number Of our readers are re-
porting trouble with taxicab driv-
ers who have refused to carry save
at an exorbitant rate. Some
drivers are blunt and brutal. "T'll
take you for dollar or you'll have
to walk" is their ultimatum. Others
are more tactful, especially one
philosopher at a steering wheel, who
is described as defending his ac-
ton upon the large ground that he
believed in the law Of supply and
demand; and weren't there 1O0,-
100000 other profteers in America,
anyway?
Touching all these episodes we
would state that the position of
the Department of Licenses and the
status of these greedy chauffeurs
are certain and clear. The taxicab
driver gets his license to operate
upon the condition that he shall
carry at the legal tariff any one
who offers. Rain makes no diff
ference. Neither does snow, in the
air or upon the streets. Neither
does a passing moment Of monopoly,
due to shortage Of cars. ! He must
carry any citizen who offers, and at
the legal rate. The one restriction
is that the citizen shall be and ap-
pear to be>a respectable member of
society, in fit condition to be car
ried.
So the demand for more than
the legal fare, seithsfr m advance

The President Analyzed
An lntcrnationalist, Who Sought to
Set Up a Super,Sfatc
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: What did Woodrow Wilson
mean when he said in speech, re.
ferring to the league Of nations, sub
stantially as follows: "We are now
ready to make the supreme sacrifice
that of casting in our forces with the
fortunes of men everywhere"?
What was the "sacrifcc" that he con.
sidered supreme" for the United
States greater than the sacrifices during
the war?
What was his object In appointing
himself plenipotentiary to the peace
conference, unaccompanied by any real
statesmen from within or without the
Senate, and surrounding himself with
an encourage no one of whom dared
to oppose his will?
What was his object In keeping the
Senate in almost total ignorance Of his
efforts to commit the United States to
a most radical foreign policy and then
when his plan was made known, in in
sistlng that his work be accepted with
out mature consideration and without
the crossing of 1T" or the dotting Of
an "i"?
And, more recently, what did Wood
row Wilson mean by saying that res
ervations would "nullify" the treaty
and that any alteration of Article X
would "cut the heart out Of the cove,
nant"?
And, finally, what was the object OF
his campaign Of speed, intolerance and
abuse of those who could not agree
with him, of his insistence that black
was white, Of his fraudulent reasons
for his stand, as evidenced by the
Grey letter, and for the inconsistency
Misrepresentation and camoufage that
have characterized his attitude from be-
ginning to end?
TO the impartial and interested
American the answer is becoming daily
more apparent, and is merely this:
That Woodrow Wilson is an interna.
tlonalist; that he went to the peace
conference for the paramount purpose
CnC
avowed intention, alone and without
mandate, of committing his country
to this policy of super government, ir
which we were bound to lose at least
portion of our sovereignty; that he
knew the issue upon which he was
last elected was the very antithesis
of this, hence intense opposition woulc
develop, and that he was we'll aware
his only chance Of converting the
American Eagle into an internationa
buzzard lay in having his work at the
peace conference adopted and approved
before the sober second sense of the
American people could be aroused b,
having the light Of day shed upon the
issue.
Am l right?

The Ne1o Interrationalis,,,

The blame must rest upon American
policy at Paris, upon the mistaken re-
lance upon abstract principles. Pres
ldent Wilson believes that the Italian
people would rise against their gov
ernment, if their government insisted
upon imperialistic policies at the ex-
pense of justice and American friend
ship. But the Italian people, by con-
trast, were and are prepared to unset
any ministry which complies with the
Presidents ideas in the Adriatic.
Some of the worst consequences of
the Paris Conference grow out of the
championship of just solutions of dis
puted questions, unaccompanied by any
effective support of the principles. In
international relations it is rarely DOS
slble to persuade any nation to resign
claims, which it believes to be lust
solely by demonstrating to your own
satisfaction that the claims are .un-
just and leaving the rest to fate On
the whole, even the old fashioned Sc.
crct diplomacy made better fist at
things by its methods than the new
lnternationalism has with its processes
Fiume is the patent. and, unfortunately
the lasting example of the truth of
this.
