rREsPAssERs AND wREcKs.

Regardless of the steps taken and the sffort made to keep people from tres passing railroad property, railroad racks nevertheless seem to act as magnet upon certain people and regard less of the danger that is to be found there and the harm that they may do there are those who persist in making -ailroad property a thoroughfare, a playground or pick it out for a free bed
 As the result of the investigation of Inc recent wreck of an express train at Meriden 1t is found that it was caused not by the effectiveness of tracks or equipment, not by the failure to regard signals or a lack of due regard for the lives of the many passengers transport sd on the part of the engine crew, but to The act of two boys in placing stones on The tracks for the pleasure of seeing them crushed. To the youngsters 1t seemed innocent fun but it cost the lives 1f the engineer and fireman and injuries 70 many others.
 There can be little question but what those boys have had an experience that will sticl, with them the rest of their lives, if i7 fact they are. able to realize The full meaning of their act But how many others will be sufficiently inn pressed by the results of their act to re- Train from the same or similar acts un- fer Ike conditions?
 The fact of the matter Is that the railroads cannot take chances as to what others may do. For the protection 'f their property, their trains and their passengers they must insist that those who are inclined to trespass or to play 1pon railroad property must stop. As in Inc case of the Meriden wreck, or in many other cases it is a case of proven ion. If those who do not belong on rail road property are kept off the chances f their getting hurt or killed or of wrecks or other damage being caused by hem will be eliminated. There are cer. .ainly enough deaths and injuries on -ailroaas without those which can be .ermed absolutely without expense

IS IT roo LATTE

From the efforts being put forth by International President Mahon for the settlement of the railway employees strike in Brooklyn it would appear that had his advice and methods been em- ployed at the start there would not have been such a situation as prevails there today. He has plainly stated that the men were not guided by the rules of the organization and the contract under which they were working and in depler- ing the action which they have taken he has expressed the regrets that they were not more prudent. He is now do- ing his best to bring about an adjust ment of a bad situation but it is a ques- tion whether he has taken action early enough.
 The situation is one which has failed to get the sympathy of the public fol the strikers. They have antagonizet those whose help is invariably sough and not only have they caused the peo pie of Brooklyn great inconvenience 1T getting to and from work or from one point to another but they have engaged in acts which have resulted in numbel of deaths and injuries to many more And these things have developed iron breach of contract and strike whicl the head of their organization has de clared to be unjustifed.
 1 And while these conditions nave beel developing against the strikers, thos who really do not deserve the ba exiny 0 their organization in view of the cours they have pursued. the railway com pany has been making excellent progres towards the restoration of the servic and at the same time fixed a limit il which the men could return and ore serve their seniority. Thus in view o the failure of the men to live up to thei i agreement. indications that the road cal get along without them and the firm at titude taken by the judge and receive it is question whether the interna tional president can smooth out tn matter.

ITALY-s PROBLEM.

A situation has developed in Italy which cannot fail to attract attention far beyond its borders. It is one that differs from others where there has been trouble between employees and employers inasnuch as there appears to be more high handed action and an attitude on Inc part of the government which seems heyond explanation. Whether this in- dicates a recognition of weakness will he revealed in time, bus with such an unusual situation it is possible that it must be tackled in other than the usual ways.
 According to the reports the metal working plants in Italian cities were closed because of a lack of raw mater ial and fuel This not only stopped pro- iuction but 1t threw the employees out of work with the result that they have seized the property, taken possession of he plants, barricaded themselves in without regard for ownership or the rights of the proprietors. They have taken this course with the idea of do- Ing what the owners maintained they ,ould not do, not through cooperation with the owners but in defiance of them with the idea of running the plans for heir own benefit.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

An excellent selection was made when Senator George P. Mclean was chosen for the keynote speaker at the republican convention of delegates for the nomination of state candidates ard presidential electors.
 In a manner characteristic of our junior representative in the upper house of congress he clearly pointed out the weaknesses that have stood out during the democratic administration at Wash ington, the failure to make the most of the opportunities presented and the req sons that exist today for bringing about a change of administration. Pointed were his references to the manner in which the democrats have fought shy oC Wilson policies and the way in which the democratic candidate is keeping away from the danger points of the league of nations, the Wilson view of which he so readily endorsed at the white house conference.
 With telling effect did the, speaker touch on the high spots in the record of .he democratic congress which he term sd quite as discouraging" as that of the chief executive, and with fitting sar- -asm did he declare that after "s1 years of democratic law-making and eight years of democratic law enforce meat We find contentment coming to ui as a river and prosperity as a flowing stream
 Pointing out long list of condition; Senator Mclean declared with gooC judgment that as long as they exis denocratic supremacy is danger tc tne great industrial interests of the na ton as a whole and that it is time tt bring to an end that political expedien cy which has been responsible for ou unscientidc taxes. our lame legislation and our weak law enforcement.

AIRPLANE REGULATIONS.

There are some regulations which it has Teen found necessary to establish in connection with the operation of flying machines but like everything else as the number increases and the danger not only to the opera tors but to the peo pie over whom they are flying grows greater the need becomes apparent of striving for greater safety. It is there fore not surprising that demands are being made for the establishment of re- strictions which will mean a greater de- gree of protection to crowds that are helpless to safeguard themselves. or to the ordinary number of people passing along city Street.
 Emphasis is given to this demand by the tragic death of two aviators at For est Hills, L. T., where the machine crashed to the ground because of an ac- cident and came within a short distance of landing in the midst of a large mum Der watching a tennis tournament So unexpected and so unlocked for was the presence of the machine that it would have heen impossible for the crowd to have done much if anything, to have es- caped from underneath it had the fall occurred but a few feet short of where it did. Many lives would have been snuffed out along with those in the ma chine.
 It is not to be supposed that the pilot of the machine would have been where he was had he thought any such thing was going to occur. but it is this very uncertainty which needs to be guarded against. In the interest of safety first those who are navigating the air have reason to consider those below The same danger exists where flying ma chimes pass over cities, beaches or places where there are large assemblies Regulations will not of course eIimi- nate accidents or danger. This is clear ly shown in the case of automobiles, but efforts to reduce them to the minimum certainly to be expected, and along witt | the safety efforts in connection with the flying machines are those in opposition to the noise.

The American Prune Abroad.

The American prune evidently gained the permanent friendship of the Europ- cans during it's war experiences. The quantity exported from the United States | in the first fiscal year after the war the year closing June 30, 1920, was double | the average of the war period and the value in 1920 two and one-half times as much as in 1928.
 Most of this big increase in the expor- tation of prunes, says a statement by The National City Bank of New York, occurs in the movement to Europe from which we adopted the prune half een- tury ago and have acclimated 1t and de- veloped it's production until the Unhed States now produces not only more than Europe, but. in fact, more than all the world outside of our own country. France, Italy and the Danubian area were the worlds chief producers of prunes until the adaptability of the Pacific coast soii | and climate to it's production and curing l became apparent, and the production of | prunes in California, Oregon and Wash | ington reached 100, ,000, ,000 pounds in 1900, 150,0OO.eeo in 1919 and 210.o0o,o in 1912 and approximately 35o,o0o, ,0oo in 1913, valued at S40,00o,o0 at tns place of production.
 All prunes are plums but all plums are not prunes. It Is only certain type of plum which can be dried in the natural state and a sufficient amount of sugar developed by the drying process to rend- l CT them suitable for fo oprpudo. CT them suitable for food purposes, and it is in the combination of soil and eli mate of the Pacific coast and especially the state of California that the class oi plums designated as prunes have reach ed their highest perfection. California produces about three-fourths of the pro
 duct of the United States and more thar all the balance of the world put together
