Calvin Coolidge Says

(From his address to the Republi-
can State Contention, Boston,
October 4, 1879
1t is my purpose to maintain the
government of Massachusetts as it was
founded by her people, the protector
Of the rights Of all but subservient to
none. 1t is my purpose to maintain un-
impaired the authority of her laws, her
jurisdiction, her peace, her security
This ancient faith of Massachusetts,
which became the great faith of Amer
ica, she reestablished in her constitu-
tion before the army of Washington
had gained our independence, declar-
ing for "a government of laws and
not Of men" In that faith she still
abides. Let him challenge it who dares
All who love Massachusetts,, who be-
lieve in America, are bound to defend
It. The choice lies between living un-
der coercion and intimidation, the
forces Of evil, or under the laws Of the
people, orderly, speaking with their
settled convictions, the revelation of a
divine authority.

The Enforcing Of Constitutional
Amendments
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Many Republicans no doubt
read with interest in to-day's Tribune
Judge Mller's strong declaration for a
drastic prohibition enforcement act in
New York State
Judge Miller is quoted as saying at
the meeting of Republican county chair
men: "If were Governor I should sign
such an act, and, having signed it, would
use the power of my Office to see that
it was enforced"
AS infer from Judge Miller's state
ment he wants to have the prohibition
enforcement act tried out, and then,
it after a vigorous enforcement of the
Jaws and a fair trial the prohibition
amendment is as successful in the North
as the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments are in the South, the Republican
party should have the credit. That is
right. WILLIAM r. WILSON.

A Clear Look at the Wilson
League

1t was William James, with his
gift for philosophy in the vernacu-
lar, who classified minds into "ten-
der" and "tough." Reans of ar
gument for the covenant as drafted
lave been written by minds of the
former character-unwilling to face
the facts, swift to gloss over weak
nesses, antiquities, blunders, in
view of the ideal upon which they
fix their gaze. The fundamental rea-
son why the American people have
turned their backs upon this emo.
tional plea is precisely, we consider,
because the American mind is, by
the James classification, tough"
That is to say, it is essentially prac-
teal, definite and insistent upon
axle grease for its wagon, however
willing to hitch it to star.
This American point of view is
admirably set forth in Mr. William
D. Guthrie's analysis Of tn lc~~ue,
to be found upon page two of this
section Of to-day's paper. Nowhere
have we seen clearer, sharper dis
secting of the covenant. Especially
upon Article X is the analysis thor
ough and persuasive. The loose
thinking and careful logic of the
tenderminded center around this
weakest clause. Mr.. Guthrie lets no
guilty slushiness escape. The no.
tion that in the name of idealism
we must sign our name to a guar
antee which we have no thought Of
living up to is characterized accord
ing to its deserts.
The American people have already
made their decision upon the Will
son league, and further debate is
perhaps unnecessary. But as a con-
tribution to clear thinking upon the
larger problems which remain, the
creation Of league that we can
Fundamentally join and that will
work, Mr.. Guthrie's pamphlet is
most valuable.

w. Murray Crane

w. Murray Crane was one of the
silent forces in politics. He had the
gift Of reticence in a high degree.
He didn't believe in spreading his
opinions from the housetops. And he
lacked absolutely the self-advertis-
ing instinct, although holding his
own in politics in an era of stupen-
dous self-advertisement
Mr.. Crane thus built up a tradi-
ton which somewhat obscured his
real work. 1t is known now that he
was the source Of the suggestion for
settling the anthracite coal strike of
1902 which President Roosevelt
adopted. The settlement greatly in
creased the Administrators pres
tige. But Mr.. Crane modestly avoid
ed seeking any credit for it. His re-
lation to the Roosevelt coup was dis
closed cly many years later.
In the Senate he became famous
as conciliator. There were few diff
ferences which he couldn't compose
He sponsored no measures of a his
own, but labored to perfect and pass
other peoples measures. He was
one Of Mr.. Aldrich's most competent
Eeutenants. He thus acquired great
influence In Republican inner coun-
ellis, and when Mr.. Taft came into
the Presidency was perhaps the
most trusted adviser in the White
House circle.
Mr.. Crane was innately moderate
in his views-if not always infex-
IDLY conservative. he fell conse-
quently out of touch with the move
ment Of protest which came to a
head in the last year Of President
Taft's term. 1t was beyond his
powers to compromise an issue like
that which split the Republican
party in 1912. He voluntarily re-
tired from the Senate in 1913, and
thereafter concerned himself only
with state politics in Massachusetts
and with the activities of the Repub-
lican National Committee, Of which
he was a member with a single
four-year break) from 1892 to 1920.
AS a Republican leader Mr.. Crane
had always to be reckoned with, al
though as a legislator and states
man he departed obviously and radi-
cally from the long g-established
Massachusetts model

Rattlesnake Mountain Fable

(Fron, Tho Ydls Reute,c)
ROUNDED to a wide-eyed clownish-
ness,
Crowned by the shifting bravado
OF his long, brown ears,
The rabbit peeked at the sky.
To him the sky seemed an angelic
Pasture stripped to phantom tram
quillity,
Where one could nibble thoughtfully.
He longed to leave his mild furtiveness
And speak to boldness puzzled by his
flesh.
With one long circle of despairing gracs
He flashed into the air,
Leapng toward his heaven
But down he crashed against snake,
Who ate him with meditative interest
And seasoned him with drops of evening
wind.
But from that day the snake was filled
With little meek whispers OF concern.
The crushed and peaceful rabbits dream
Cast cropping hush upon his blood.
He curled inertly on a rock,
In cryptic, wilted savageness.
In the end MS cry, gray body
Was scattered out upon the rock,
Like q story that could not be told.

to be done under what Is popularity
known as sweatshop conditions by a
very low grade Of labor-largely re-
Gently arrived or unassimilated foreign
ers, both men and women, most of
whom have been too physically or tech
nically inefficient to do other kinds Of
better grade work.
Unquestionably labor conditions In
the clothing field had been In crying
need of readjustment for many years
before the war. But the great sudden
war demand for uniforms and other
articles Of clothing, with its CORE
spending demand for labor, had
brought such a large measure Of re-
adjustment in this field that before
the end Of the war the chief evils of
the sweatshop system had disappeared
and the most ordinary clothing worker
was receiving from $25 to $35 a week.
Doubling War Wages
In October, 191s-during the war
the workers had struck for change
from a piece sale to a straight forty
four hour week, which had been granted,
although this would and did cut produc-
ton per worker just 35 per cent But
hardly had the workers resumed working
after this victory than the war ended
and they saw another opportunity for
getting far more than the mere doubling
Of wages and the shortening of pro-
had brought
With sudden peace, however, labor
leaders in the clothing field. realizing
that the demobilization of our 4,O0O,-
600 soldiers would mean sudden de-
mand for at least 10000 new suits
of clothes, Immediately called a strike
for double even their war wages.
Instead, therefore, Of the production
Of the 100000 additional suits of
clothes which were needed. this strike
cut the production for the year 1919
the production of the year before. or
nearly 100000 suits below what we
needed and knew in advance that we
would need. And it was this tremen-
dous shortage -inexcusable because
entirely forescen by both manufac-
turers and labor and deliberately pre-
cipitated by labor-which sent the
price of an ordinary suit of clothes up
to $55, $65 and s75 during 1919 and
the early part of 1920.
But this shortage and consequent
immense advance in price Is only the
first half of the result. The shortage
became so acute and the prices went
SO high that the clothing manufac-
turcrs yielded to the demands of the
strikers and paid this class Of labor
$50 to s85 week. In other words,
with this new wage scale plus this
new lower scale Of production, due to
the forty-four hour week, this class of
labor which had never been able to
earn more than $l2 to SIS a week under
normal labor competition, even for the
old rate of production, now received $50
to sS5 a week for the new scale of pro-
ducticn, which is equivalent to about

Multiplying Costs

In making cotton goods one mill
will spin the thread, another viii
weave it into cloth, another viii print
it, etc. Such different mills are some
times under the control Of one man
agement and sometimes separately
controlled. But in either case a
strike in one mill seriously interferes
with or stops production of the 9th
ers. If they are not to stop producing
these other mills must 90 out in the
open market and compete against
one another for the limited supply Of
the particular product the striking
mill usually produces. Strikes last
spring, around Providence alone, in
this way advanced the mill cost Of
scores Of millions of yards of cotton
goods 100 per cent.
Cotton goods are finished up into
hundreds of different kinds Of cloth,
which are sold through factors and
jobbers and many different kinds Of re-
tailers to the public, all OF which adds
u UtfiLlle percentage 1OT NdNutlNS anu
profit to the prices they pay. This
means that the price the public pays
is not merely the 100 per cent more,
but the 100 per cent added to in geo
metric ratio.
In other words, strike works Ike
a stone thrown into the water. If the
stone is small the sixth or seventh sue
ceeding circle, which represents the
price to you, the ultimate consumer, is
only 50 big. If the stone is 100 per
cent bigger each succeeding circle may
be only the same proportion greater
than the one before, but there is tre-
mendous difference in the size Of the
sixth or seventh circle.
If you want to get real idea of the
high cost of strikes to you try this ex-
pertinent with such different sized
stones.

500 week per worker for the old rate
Of production.
On tho basis Of this immense in
crease in costs, the manufacturers
then started in to try to catch up
with the demand. But prices had al
ready been forced so high that by the
spring Of this year the public refused
to pay them-the manufacturers and
retailers have had to dispose of i'm
mense stocks at less than cost, and in
July, at the height Of the producing
season, over 80 per cent Of all labor
in the industry was out OF employ
ment.
This Ponzi get-rich- quick idea
which was the basis Of the clothing
strike In the spring of 1919 had not
only cost the general public, includ-
ing millions of tbs labor public, from
SO to $50 apiece on every suit they
have had to buy, but it has now for
several months been costing over half
the entire clothing workers of the
country themselves the $35 q week
double what they had ever been able
to earn before, or perhaps even $40
or s45 a week-which they might still
be earning steadily and indefinitely.
Moreover the end is not yet The
scale Of living Of American labor ought
to go steadily up. Wages ought to go
steadily up. Labor believes this, and
is right in believing it. But wages
cannot be doubled one year and doubled
again to four times the original wages
the next year The public, including
the labor public, cannot pay four times
as much, including the 35 per cent re-
duction IN efficiency actually six times
as much-to any special group of labor
for making any absolute and universal
necessary. That the public, including
the rest of labor, will not pay such
rates has been amply demonstrated in
the last six months in the clothing field.
And when the clothing workers see
their get-rich- quick bubble hopelessly
burst there is sure to be much bit
terness and recrimination, and perhaps
further strikes, which can only mean
still further needless cost to both
the workers and the public
Shirts ard OueralIs
Change the word "suits" to "shi-ts"
and the figures in proportion, and the
story of what has happened in the suit
industry will tell almost word for word
what has happened in the shirt indus
try also
There were the same 100000 SOL
diers, and as a man probably buys
about four shirts to one suit of clothes,
this means that about 10000, 900 more
shirts were needed to supply the Amer
lean market than were needed that last
year of the war. AS a matter of fact,
series of strikes in the shirt and
allied industries actually cut the pro-
! duction Of shirts by 15.886, 800 below
that of the year before, which meant
. total Of about 100000 shirts fewer
than America needed. OF course, under
such circumstances the price of shirts
went 90 or 100 per cent higher than
the increased cost of labor or material
