L TO ANSWER.

In the recent debate between Cover
nor Allen of Kansas, and Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, the latter was asked
the following question:
"When a dispute between capital
and labor brings on a strike affecting
the production or distribution of the
necessaries of life, thus imparing the
public health, has the public rights in
such a controversy, or is it a private
war between capital and labor?"
Gompers refused to answer this
query, but his record for the past
quarter of a century is a sufficient re-
ply. His policy has been one Of rule
or ruin and for the rights of the public
he has had no consideration. Cover
nor Allen was largely responsible for
the Kansas law prohibiting employees
in the production or handling of the
necessities from collective striking.
Such a law should be on the statute
books of every state and a federal law
as well. Governor Allen has courage
and ability and would have made a
good second to the Chicago nominee.

RELIEF FOR THE FAR EAST.

Spokane, WASH, June 3O.-Special
Like hungry, unclothed little chill
dren of a tragedy-stricken family,
placed with their more fortunate
friends until their own home can be
rebuilt and their larder restocked, the
various territories of Armenia and the
old bible lands in general, ravaged
by strife and bloodshed, hunger and
disease for the last five years, are
being parcelled cut for relief-each
one to a certain district of the Unit
ed States. The parcelling is being
done by the Near East Relief commit
tee, specially chartered by congress
for rescue and reconstruction activ-
tiles throughout western Asia, whose
countries are still tossing in a night

THE MARKET STREET JAM

LNIGt RES officially compiled by tho
L Public Service Commission invcSti-
gators now confirm the rather common
impression that Thirteenth and Market
streets j. u busy corner. The survey
showed that lbs trolley cars. carrying
total OF li.m0 passengers. crossed
. the street intersection within one hour
during the afternoon traffic high tide.
Th" facts arc at once impressive and
dismal. for tho inspectors say that
something very close to the maximum
of transportation resources is daily
tapped at this junction.
Relief by subways or elevated Struc.
lures is suggested. This is an obvious
commentary. More to the point would
have been r"itcration of the imperative
need for rounciImanic action on the
neglected proposal to relocate the tracks
around City Hall and divert some OF the
cars out FiIb"rt street.
TIL" execution Of >Urh plan would
certainly roIi"v" some OF tho trafIic lam
and expedite rhc dispatch of trolley
cars. even though the crowds Of waiting
passengers At Thirteenth and Market
streets would nor bo thereby reduced.

HOUSES AND TENTS

THlEFLN because they permitted the
- housing question to grow too big for
them before making any effort 70 solve
il. city and state officials, who might
have provided relief for hard driven
tenants. now are overwhelmed. SO far
nothing definite has come from the ef-
forts Of Mayor Moore and Director
Tustin to interest bankers in scheme
of building expansion supported by
popular bonds. The Legislature. which
might hate passed laws similar to those
which checked the protteering mania in
New York, was not called for a special
session. The courts appear pOwerless
In word, those who sought to relieve
house renters have accomplished no
more in that work than Mr.. McClain
the states fair price commissioner has
accomplished in this city toward the es q.
tabliShment of fair prices.
For that reason the city had yester-
day 10 witness the sorry spectacle Of
respectable families pleading with the
FairmOuut Park Commission for the
right to pitch tents in the Park after
they are cvictPd on May l. House
keeping in a park tent may seem inter.
3sting and picturesque enough when il
is viewed as an abstract suggestion by
people who are not compelled to try the
experiment. Az a matter Of fact, that
way Of life is not good for anybody. u
means hardship and Inconvenience and,
in the end. danger of illness.
The test of elected officials and of
public administrative systems is in the
degree Of their ability to protect the
people in emergencies and guard com
munites against unfair exploitation.
Judged by that rule. the state and city
officials have failed in this instance.
