THE NEW YORK WORLDS CHARGES.

I The New York World makes the
startling and serious charge that la
! Dor and labor war are responsible for
/ the Wall street explosion and it's des-
truction OF human life and of proper
ty. 1t goes farther and relates that
an important witness was shot short
! ly after the CRIME had been commit
ted in IAN attempt to close his lips
finally and forever
How thoroughly the World may be
liable to substantiate it's charges is not
presently evident hut the standing
and prominence OF that newspaper in
| journalism convinces that it has
grounds satisfactory to itself where
on to bring SO serious an accusation
or that the accusation would not have
been published. 1t is to be assumed
that no newspaper of character and
eminence would bring such definite
and criminal charges without a foun
dation of serious fact.
But it is scarcely fair to include all
organized labor in the indictment
The element that breaches and prac~.
tees violence and plants bombs Is a
small minority tho by reason OF its
desperate activities in nowise neg
lible minority. The average working.
man whether he belongs to a union
or not IS q decent average among
derer. Labor as a mass is good citi-
zenship. 1t Is cursed with desperate
and constituencies minority and it
chooses its leaders or permits them
to be chosen altogether too often by
that minority.
The great weakness Of labor before
public opinion is in Its leadership.
1t will have to accept responsibility
for it's leaders. II 1t elects or per-
mits to be elected to leadership and
command extremists in speech and
in act, preachers and practitioners
of violence and destruction, it can not
escape the verdict of public opinion.
II the World shall be able to prove
its charges the reaction will not stop
with the group or the leaders of the
group.
The hope will be that the World is
nisinforned. But whether or not the
charges shall fail or be substantiated
the warning is plain. The safe and
sane and judgmatical Of labor or
ganizations must select their own
leadership. Their good citizenship OF
the organizations must see to it that
good citizens with respect for law
and for human rights beyond their
own circle shall be elected to guide
and command.
When the blind and the desperate
lead blind or careless followings dis
aster lies ahead.

NOTHING NEW IN BUSINESS.

While the hopeful aspects in busl-
ness are being rather more freely
emphasized, with strengthening of
confidence in certain quarters, gen
eral conditions have not changed es-
sentially.
A belated turn tor more seasonable
| weather IN some sections of the coun-
try has given moderate stimulus to
la retarded and restricted movement
at retail, and holiday requirements
may be expected to later bring at
least q temporary revival OF con-
sumers' buying.
The underlying situation in prlm-
airy channels, however, is still char
| acterized by the phases which have
recently become familiar, and which
find reflection in receding prices and
diminished output, with further
lessening Of operating forces in many
| instances.
With nearly all purchaserers wait
ing for evidence that the price read
| justment has run its course before
| committing themselves for the future
comparatively few new orders ire
being received to replace those which
! have been completed, and lnanufac-
turers are not disposed 10 accumulate
reserve stocks Of goods during the
present period of uncertainty. The
proportion Of inactive producing cap
acity, therefore, has increased IN tex
tiles, leather, iron and steel, and
elsewhere, and an easing Of condi-
lions in the labor market, with some
downward revisions Of wages, is re-
ported in various industries.
Such developments as these, as
well as the rise in the commercial
mortality, are natural concomitant
of the economic transition which for
some time past has been in motion;
but business is gradually adjusting
itself to a sounder basis, and the way
Is DtiIlS SudpSu lOT subsequent pro-
gress along more conservative and
wholesome lines. With the establish
ment Of more stability In prices,
which must follow sooner or later,
the beginning of trade recovery may
conceivably be witnessed.
Dues reported from leading COM
mercial and industrial centers show
no essential change In the situation:
Chicago-There has been more
snap to business this week than for a
month or more past, due to the pass
| ing Of two important obstacles to
activity-unseasona warm wealth
er and the uncertainty of a presiden-
| tial campaign.
| Milwaukee-The general business
situation is, if anything, rather more
| unfavorable.
/ Minneapolis--Con unseason-
able weather still holds trade in
check, and jobbers report collections

COURT WITHOUT LAW9 ERS.

Charles Evans Hughes empha-
sized the good law might do IN cur
bling radicalism, In his address be-
fore the annual meeting of the Am

operations, but as preventative, lie
insisted that the law we now have be
made as available for the poor as for
the rich.
Usually, when the poor feel the
need of the law, it is controversy
over a sum no larger than q week S
some trivial backyard dispute. TO
employ lawyer to handle such cases
Is too expensive. There is little lett
for food and clothing when the law
yer's bill is paid. Therefore, in reali-
~, the poor ir many cases are shut
out from recourse to courts of JUS
tice.
Something along the line suggested
by Mr.. Hughes is to be tried out in
Washington. That state has enacted
u law that provides court trial
without lawyers, at Spokane Both
parties to any action must appear III
person and may summon witnesses.

The judge in this court may enter

elsewhere. The scope of it's work. too,
may be broadened, as experience in

There will always be work for the
better lawyers among those who are
able to indulge in law as a luxury. II
there are too many lawyers, those on
