LABOR TRIBUNALS WIN

T,HE square deal through due process
i of law is program which inevitably
appeals to the average American tem-
permanent.
In Kansas the state industrial court
law, which had been made the bosis
of the Republican primary campaign,
has just scored highly significant
victory. Governor Allen. running for
denomination, carried every county in
the state save one. which contains the
largest element of foreign labor. Else =
where the Nonpartisan League Labor
combination was unable to stem the
tide of progress. Elsewhere the in
dividual worker in great numbers sup
ported the court scheme.
The attraction of this method Of ap-
preaching labor difficulties is very sim
liar to that exerted by the League OF
Nations upon persons capable of seeing
beyond their noses. 1f the law i'm
partially and intelligently administered
is unequal to settling disputes between
nations or conflict between employers
and employees, then the whole structure
of it is a mockery.
Sane Americans are loath to believe
this. Labor tribunals with a new body
of Jurisprudence, consistently developed
on the old fundamentals, As the cases
arise, are as yet in their infancy. That
great hope of appraising the issues
fairly is strong in Kansas indicates
not that this state is unique, but that
it is on this matter representative OF
prevailing sentiment in the nation a.
a whole.
The public, capitalists and laborers
have seen other methods fail, In Penn
sylvania the Department of Labor and
Industry has just estimated that strikes
have cost the workmcn SO 900 900 IN
wages. Extreme radicalism will per
haps assert that this is the cost OF
battle leading to more than commensu
rate gains. But anticipated profits are
unsubstantial.
A comprehensive hearing in law
ought to be able to satisfy such claim;
of capital and labor as are not grounded
in injustice. The expression Of thi,
belief by Kansas is heartcnins and in
dicative of the right sort of evolution
in the republic.

GORMAN'S JOB

TNHE efforts of Charles Neeld. secre
L tary of the municipal Civil Service
Commission, to justify the appointment
of Frank German, political handy man,
to a $4,000 job as "statiSticiau' in de-
fiance of the fact that Mayor Moore
vetoed an attempt to create such q
place for him by Councilmanic ordi-
nance, are pathetic in the extreme.
Naturally enough the public might
expect the Civil Service Commission
under the present administration to be
the last place to fiud palpablc lodging
of the law in order to take care of a
chronic ofhceholder. Yet Secretary
Neeld strives to mako 1t appear as
casual and matter of course as il there
were no rules to govern his office.
In face of tire fact that an eligible
list already exists for a classiticr-
which is the real job German is to
fill--and that Germans name does not
appear on it; that Mayor Moore de-
clined to increase the appropriation OF
the commission to provide for the place
and that the complete work of stand
ardizing the municipal pay rolls Is
being done under contract for a stated
sum by a firm of expert engineers, the
commission by the majority votes OF
Messrs. Woodruff and Neeld over the
protest of Mr.. Van Dusen, the third
member, adopts the devious and evasive
method of adding German to the forces
of the contracting experts and inCrcas-
ing the compensation which the city
will have to pay to that firm through
q supplemental contract.
Fortunately, Mayor Moore can re-
fuse to authorize this agreement and
frustrate the scheme, just as he vetoed
the item in the ordinance.
The disheartcning feature of the
whole affair is that body created and
sworn TO prevent just this sort OF
hocus pocus with municipal jobs should
have no higher sense of the ethics vio-
lated by the setting of such vicious
precedent.

THE MIRACLE ON OUR HANDS
A CCORDING to Assistant Secretary

A CCORDING to Assistant Secretary
"A of War Williams, the govern
ment never really did intend to sell
Hog Island" That this alleged reluc-
tance developed mainly as result of
a lack Of bidders is at least poSsl-
bility. Private enterprise has been
loath to embark in the colossal ven
ture. The idea Of ownership and oper-
alton by the city of Philadelphia
hardly passed beyond the stage of an
alluring fancy.
Meanwhile the plant is a huge fact,
and failure to grasp it constructively
means the waste OF unprecedented re-
sources and equipment. Mr.. Brush, ",
president of the America International
Shipbuilding Corporation, believes that
the yard should either be retained by
: the government as an army quarter
master base or else should be used to
take care of the 81 900 900 worth Of
various materials now scattered in gov
ernment warehouses. The suggested
concentration has practical appeal
and is decidedly more definite than a
number of the schemes proposed

BRUCE M. WATSON
On Garber's Successor

NEED for the best available man in
~ the country to fill the vacancy of
superintendent of public schools in this
city is emphasized by Bruce NJ. Wat
son, secretary of the Public Education
and Child Labor Association.
Mr.. Watson says that we should pro-
cure the best man. even If it is necessary
to make world wide search.
philadelphia should have the best
educational system in the country he
said. This is the greatest opportunity
that the Board of Education has ever
had to raise the school system to high
standard. The choice Of a new superin :
tpndent is the most important thing in
improving this system that the board
will be called upon to do a new man
should be the head and front of the
school system-in fact as we'll as in
name.
mo man worthy of the job will be
likely to accept the post unless three
important conditions are observed.
"The salary must be made more at
tractive. No man of sufficient caliber
will come for $4,000, the present salary.
Cleveland pays $4,000; Pittsburgh and
Seattle pay $4,000. A dozen cities
pay more than Philadelphia.
"A man worthy to head the Philadel-
phia school system should receive not
less than $4,000 q year. If more
money is necessary to attract the right
man there should be no hesitation about
paying it. The extra few thousand in
volvcd would be infinitcsimal in. com :
parison with the worth of that man
to the city both in dollars and cents and
in other ways. There are many cor
poratons in this city where the re-
sponsibilitics are not nearly so great,
yet which pay far greater compensation
! to the executive head.
Must Have More Freedom

shortest term to begin with. No fiji

he cannot be assured of term at least
