the injunction only enjoined the leaders against ordering a strike despite these defenses, Labor has just cause for surprise and griev- ance. And to give man who is in the wrong a just grievance goes long way toward justifying his position to himself We do not need to stretch the law or legal practice to deal with the Labor situation. There is inherent strength in the public to settle the problem without it.
 Let us by all means use every proper method to rid ourselves of the Reds, but let us keep as un- heated, fair, and generous an atti- tude toward Labor as possible.

 Mr Lenox-Simpson says that in theory Bolshevism could not really declare war upon a non-capitalistic country where the millions toll as

 late Emperor Nicholas have not

 "because Japan is leaving no stone unturned to inherit those agreements and arrangements"
 The author sees a possible cause for a declaration of war on China by the Bolsheviki in the fact that the old Russian diplomatic and con- sular establishment in China has been supported by Chinese funds from the Boxer indemnity account. 'It is quite likely" he asserts, "that the Russian revolutionary govern ment, as it penetrates farther to the East, will consider that this is something more than an un-neutral casus belli and a reason to strike at the regions of He predicts that Japan will attempt to come to an arrange ment with the soviet government of Russia and that ''the price Japan will ask will have to be paid by China unless she acts quickly"

WAGES IN PORTO RICO.

Complaint that wages "as low as GO cents for II hours work" are paid in Porto Rico was made by Peter J. Brady and Anthony Nc Andrew, representatives of the Am erican Federation of Labor, in a
 letter they sent recently to Acting
 Governor Jose E. Benedicto, de-
 manding "a living wage" for Porto Rlcan workers. Messrs. Brady and Me Andrew were sent to the island to investigate labor conditions. Tn their letter to the acting governor they denounced the situation there |as being of such character as to make Porto Rico a Giving grave
 yard"
 The investigators asserted that in some rare instances wages as high
 as $1.50 had been paid for II hours
 work, but only where the best and strongest men could be secured,
 The rate of pay for women for
 the same number of hours was 30
 ito 60 cents, and children get from
 10 cents up," they informed Signor
 Benedicto. "Mahy of these children are far below the legal age for en- ployment. Necessities of living be-
 ing so high, it is impossible for
 these unfortunate people to live as
 human beings should"
 In asking the acting governor to
 call a conference of the sugar inter- ests. the labor investigators request ed that the minimum wage of all
 male workers be set arbitrarily at s2.5O per day of eight hours. and at sl.25 for women and boys, but that when the work of the latter was equal to that of the men, the rate of s2.50 be paid. They added :: "The sugar profits are enormous, so there should be no excuse for these soulless individuals and cor iporations and Porto Rican states men. This starving condition of the people of Porto Rico should not con- tinue moment longer. The very men who sit in the Porto Rican leg islature are the worst profteers and the most heartless."
 It was after the receipt of the
 foregoing letter that many of the sugar operators agreed to advance wages 30 to 50 percent, with $1 to $1.5O day as minimum wage.

PUBLIC ATTITUDE TOWARD
 LABOR.

The more conservative elements in Labor circles seem again to have gotten back some of their courage to oppose the Reds, for it has be- come plain enough that no matter how much trouble it takes to do it, the public is, determined to rid itself of the Red element and its teaching. This being so, points out the editor of Worlds Work, there is no reason for the conservative Labor leaders to continue to fear them. On the contrary, it is cer- tain that any union that accepts Red leadership will have to accept with it such an amount of public hostility as will make it powerless. Consequently there is every incen- tive for the conservatives to assert even luS SISduS acceptance of union demands that obtained for the past few years cannot be continued For Labor is facing new kind of test. During the past twenty years, the public has had the general purpose of making Capital behave, no matter how much it cost the public. With the public in this state of mind, it usually gave Labor a generous need of sympathy in its struggles with Capital. But Labor overplayed it's hand. It asked too much. It threatened strikes regardless of the public comfort, even of the public safety. It played with the enemies of the Republic The public began to get mad Its sympathies began to turn toward any one who would curb Labor. The political phenom- ena of the present time mage this abundantly plain. The attorney general, a candidate for the presi- dency, stretches the situation to use an injunction to stop the coal strike. The governor of Massachu- setts is reelected because he beat the police union.
 Perhaps the analogy between the public's animosity toward predatory capital (if not all capitaD during the last twenty years and the pres ent swing of opinion against Labor may not be very close. Neverthe less there may be a useful lesson in the comparison. In curing capi- talistic abuses, the public did itself a great deal of unnecessary harm. There is no benefit to be gained by doing a similar injury to our selves in trying to get Labor to get a better perspective of it's re- responsibilities and rights.
 When the Clayton Act was passed it was announced that it began d new epoch in which labor was no longer to be considered as a com modity and that the right to strike could not be curtailed by injunc- tion. Whether labor is commodi- ty or not is somewhat matter of definition. It is subject to the laws of supply and demand as con,modi- ties are. But, unlike commodities, it has a memory. It is not either wise or safe to treat it except as group of human beings. for that is what it is. Now, Labor very probably remembers the talk at the time of the Clayton Acts passage. It knows also that, despite the tech nical defense of the injunction based on the fact that state of war still legally existed and that
