basis they are certainly not calcufated
to make for equitable Adjustment
Nothing has developed to justify
change of position on the part OF the
Commissioners in this matter GA the
ground that the agreement of a few
years ago with Gen. Knight establish
ed a permanent arrangement whereby
the navy yard scale was to govern auto
matically in the settlement of District
per diem pay. those who are now pro
noting this agitation hold that the
present board of Commissioners have
no option but to proceed on that basis.
and to make adjustment accordingly.
1t so happens. however, that the agree
ment of 191S-which could not i'll any
case be binding upon all subsequent
boa rds of Commissioners-was in eff
feet set aside when representative
of the per diem men urged the ap-
pointment of q wage board. If the
navy ward scale was automatically to
govern in the fixing of the District per
diem rates there was no need of a
wage board. The appointment of such
a board, with representatives of the
workers organizations upon it, estab-
lished the principle of annual adjust
ments in the Districts scale.
Public feeling in this matter is un-
doubtedly strongly with the Commits
Sioncrs. An appeal from the Commits
sioners to the people as the real en-
plovers" of the workers is certain to
fail when it is made in terms of a
suspension of the necessary services
which protect the public health.

A Canadian Challenger.

Sir Thomas Upton having announced
that he will wait another year before
rechallenging for the Americas cup in
order to give others a chance, a Cana
dian competitor has promptly appeared
with definite challenge for race
next summer. A. C. Ross of Sydney,
Cape Breton, has proposed to build a
boat to be manned by Canadians. If
this challenge is accepted-and there
seems to be no reason why it should
not be-this will be the third time
Canadians have attempted to redeem
the Americas cup from the New York
Yacht Club. In 1876 the Royal Cana

The Public PAYS.

An increase of $l,400, 100000 year
has been added to the public transpor-
tation bill by order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. at the instance
of the railroads. This increase is JUS
tilted by the advance in all the costs
entering into transportation. chiefly
the advance in wages. Recently wage
board added 1926 100000 to the pay
rolls of the roads. Other items have
increased. all materials are higher IN
price and the commission now com
putes that the total of freight and pas
senger rate increase necessary to en-
able the lines to operate with reason
able profits to their owners reaches
the sum named. 1t is an immense
amount. and it will inevitably add to
the cost of living. But the roads can
not be expected to operate at loss.
They must make at least their ex-
penses, or go bankrupt. And bank
ruptcy for these companies would
mean tremendous losses to the public,
in service and in costs.
For the increases asked and now
granted the railroads are not at all to
blame General conditions, prevalent
during the past six years. are respon-
sible. The operatives demand higher
wages and they are granted, not to the
amount asked, but in equitable adj
justment of the scales to the present
living costs. In all the industries this
rule has prevailed. 1t is now up to
the public to pay the bill. There is no
calculating the final effect of this ad-
dition of $1,400000.000 to the years
transportation cost. 1t will affect all
classes of people and all sections.

Cancellation and Coercion.

An extraordinary spectacle was pre-
an officer of the Department Of Labor,
one of the "coneiliators" in the dispute
between the District Commissioners
and the per diem employees who are
asking for a higher scale of wages,
made the following statement at a
meeting of the workmen:
"You are wholly and completely en-
titled to the full rs cents day. This
matter could have been amicably set
tied on the basis of raise of only so
cents day to begin with, as suggested
by your association. Last Saturday
night the Department of Labor gained
an additional week of negotiation, but
you have not been given a square deal.
Nevertheless, j urge you to take the
high ground. Remember that the Dis
trict Commissioners are not your real
employers. Your real employers are
the people of Washington. Take the
high ground, no matter how much the
District Commissioners have broken
faith with you. Give the Commission
ers TWO more days. 1t Is now up to
them. They have acted without any
justification in faith or honor"
This is remarkable language from
one who is supposed to have been act
ing in the interest of the public as a
"conciliator," in effect, an arbitrator.
Denunciation of the Commissioners in
sidering the question of striking on
essential public work is calculated to
prevent full and free consideration
by them of the public welfare, which
is Of first importance. If the "concilia-
tien" tactics of the Department of
Labor are Uniformly conducted on this

The Russian-Polish Crisis.

Apparently the arrogance of the
soviet government in the dictation OF
terms of armistice has prevented a
conference between the allies and the
representatives of the government at
Moscow. Nothing further is heard of
arrangements for such meeting and
meanwhile the Russian armies are ad-
vancing until they have reached a
point within seventy five miles from
Warsaw. -Brest -Litovsk. held by the
Poles, is invested and possibly has
fallen, perhaps with disaster to the
Polish forces there. Meanwhile.
numbers of French and British Off
GERS have reached the Polish front
and are now engaged in reorganiza-
ton of the defense, particularly seek
ing to correct the faults behind the
lines, which have seriously initiated
against the success of the armies.
This new factor. it is reported, has
stiffened the Polish resistance, and 1t
is the opinion of French Observers
that the tide is about to turn and the
red forces will soon be checked.
No arrangements so far as known
have been made vet for the dispatch
of French and British troops into
Poland. A suggestion that they be
permitted to cross German territory
has aroused opposition at Berlin. 1t
will not be necessary, however. to
send them across in ease an expedl-
tion is organized, though that is the
nearest way. for they can be trans
ported by sea to Danzig and thence
to the front.
In case the Polish resistance is suf-
fciently stiffened to hold the reds IN
check the soviet government will per
haps modify its demands and accept
mediation on terms that Will be ac
eeptable both to the Poles and to the
allies
There are signs of some dishar-
mony between the French and the
British in this matter of dealing with
Russia on the Polish question. The
French favor a military campaign. 1t
is decidedly to the interest of the gov
ernment at Paris to insure stable
Poland as safeguard against CONT
mental disruption, and as block to
Germany in the future. The British
policy, however, is not governed by
such consideration. Lloyd George
favors negotiation rather than mill
tary measures. But if the soviet m
sists upon rigorous terms that will be
disastrous to Poland he may be com
PEELED to change ground in favor of
the French policy. In the final state
of the ease it is as much to England's
interest as to that of France to hold
the bolsheviki in check and to pre-
vent the spreading of the red doe
trine westward. 1t is. indeed, to the
interest of every European nation

WASHINGTON, July 10. Associated
Press. Complete agreement on the
league of nations question and unity in
their party : cause was declared yester
day by President Wilson and Governor
Cox of Ohio, Democratic presidential
candidate. after a conference at the
White House.
Meeting for the first time since the
San Francisco convention, the Presi-
lent and the governor, together with
Franklin d. Roosevelt, the vice presi-
lential nominee, passed an hour on the
south portico of the executive mansion
discussing the league and other cam
paign issues. All three afterward is
sued formal statements voieing solid
lrity of purpose None made any ref
arence to recently published reports that
he chief executive and the presidential
'andidate We're far apart on the
league issue
The President declared that he and
Governor Cox "were absolutely at one

leace for the world. -

hat he and Mr.. Wilson were "agreed
Is to the meaning and suficiency of the
Darty platform and the duty of the
1arty in the face of threatened bad
'aith to the world in the name of
america. - He declared that he will
give all his strength TO the promises
made by President Wilson to those who
acrifeed in the great war.
Mr.. Rooseyelt's statement spoke of
the splendid aecord'' of the Presi-
lent and Governor Cox, and expressed
he wish that every American could
ave witnessed their conference
After the conference the three party
eaders had luncheon at the White
House and Gov Cox and Mr. Roosevelt
alter conferred with several party lead

Columbus
Governor Cox declined to give any
letails of his conversation, with the
President, saying that he considered
sueh a course improper To a question
whether he had gone over his two sug-
rested reservations to the league of
iations, the candidate replied:
We discussed the subject in gem
raj way, the President knowing from
statements l had already made what
ny position was.
Governor Cox said the newspapermen
would have to draw their own conclu-
lions from the formal statements, add
ing:
There will be no installing my .po-

his visit with the President.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-07-19

rendered judgment against him with
costs.
In the decree the governor is re-
quired to pay alimony at the rate of
5000 month until the 1st of January,
1922, and if the former wife should
die before that time he is to pay her
funeral expenses in a. sum not to ex-
coed $2,40Q-. Even the marriage of the
former Mrs. Cox will not affect the
payments ordered by the court up to
that date.
After Jan. /, 1922, the court or
dered him to pay her 800 month for
life, but these payments We're to cease
in the event of her marriage, and there
fore as the present Mrs. Lee she will
not be entitled to them.
In the judgment of the court neither
the governor nor his former wife is to
have the exclusive custody of the
children and neither at any time is to
be deprived of the custody of at least
one of them. When the children should
be living with her from time to time
Mr. Cox was ordered to pay for their
maintainance at the rate of $50 a
month until Aug. /, 1913, then at $75
a month until Aug. /, 1916, after which
time a readjustment of the maintain
ance charge was to be made but the
amount of payment was not to be re
duced below SIS a month.
