Keeping Down the Labor TurnOv er.

The rising turnover of factory labor
in the city has reached its crest and a
decline has set In, according to sur
vey made by the Merchants Associa-
ton. This statement of the situation
is based on the opinions Of employers.
There are no statistics to prove it.
But more Illuminating than pages
of statistics would be are the reasons
given why the labor turnover is very
small indeed in certain factories :
This Is due more especially to the
magnetic personality of the mana
GER; ''the management takes real
interest in the welfare of its work
ers'; "the men have superintendent
they like; through the dynamic per
sonallty of the manager a real fac
tory pride has been created"
There is nothing novel in the discov-
cry that men, whether in factory Or
in a battle, like to follow a born
leader or that enlightened self-nter-
est will do re for labor than laws
union rules or Socialism, but an occa-
sional reminder Of this truth is of
value. And fortunately for America it
has many born leaders in It's factories
and many wise employers Of labor.

OPINION OF A RASH MAN.

The Dead Beats Perfect October
Day.

On this October /, the fall moving
day Of 1920, with tens Of thousands
Of our population vainly seeking shell
ter, various members Of the New
York Legislature must be mortified
astounded and alarmed over the re-
suits of their precipitate legislation
to end the housing crisis.
1t must mortify the housing short
age law makers because they now see
the dead beat tenant of numerous tribe
sitting comfortably in dwelling place
which belongs by right of property
ownership to somebody else and be-
longs by right Of lease to another
tenant. 1t must mortify them further
because they now see honest men who
work hard to support their families
and pay their rent sitting on the
sidewalk with their families In throngs
because the dead beat tenant is sit
ting tight in the rooms for which the
honest tenant has paid his rent, but
law says he cannot take possession of
until the dead beat has had his day
under shelter while the honest man
has his out in the cold. And this Is
true as well concerning the honest
tenant who refuses to move and keeps
another out though he Is entitled
to go in.
1t must astonish them because they
now see that there never was such
confusion, never was such hardship,
never was such dismay, desperation
and wrath over the housing shortage
as New York knows on this October
l after the new mischief the Legsla-
ture has wrought to make the old
mischief so much worse.
1t must alarm them because they
now see that tens of thousands of
innocent citizens who have leases
signed, sealed and delivered, but are
now adrlft with their families in
whatever weather and circumstances,
know. If the law makers did not know,
that no legislative enactment can an
null, amend, or revise the Almighty's
economic laws OF supply and demand.
When this city needs more houses,
when Il needs them by the tens Of
thousands and when the only way 10
supply them is to build more houses,
the Legislature has done nothing that
really will stimulate the building Of
houses. The Legislature has done al
most everything 1t can do TO stop the
building Of houses by driving and
keeping money out Of the building
business.
So the Legislature has made the
future even darker than the present
for the honest rent paying family
head, though the dead beat may re-
joice in this, his perfect October day.

Spectators bet on the games aud

But here. beyond the grill of jus
| tice, was something else: boys, hun
dreds of them-boys who played ball
in back lots, boys who went to see the
White Sox play whenever they had
the price of seat IN the bleachers,
boys who never saw professional
game but who knew the records of
the great players by heart. Coming
down the steps toward them, with a
deputy sheriff, was the great JOE
JACKSON. The boys had heard that
he could not read or write, but that
was nothing to them. They knew
that he got $4,000 year, but. that
mattered little. They knew that he

and that was enough.
One of the boys stepped out of the
throng and touched JACKsoN's sleeve !:
1T amt true, is it, JoE?" He was
asking not only for himself but for all
the other boys who stared at the
familiar figure of the athlete and for
all the other boys in twenty million
homes who believed in baseball. 1t

Viscount Grey's Plan for ireland

The clearest mind In British poll
tics offers definite plan for the
solution of the Irish problem. We do
not suppose that It will receive com
pete approval from either side of the
Boyne. 1t may not find the immedi-
ate support It deserves in the British
Government, the leaders of which
seem to believe that they will in some
magic way muddle through the Irish
situation.
Put the responsibility for Irish
government on the Irlshmen them
selves" says Viscount GREY and he
amplifes this general proposal with q
plan by which at the end of two years
Great Britain would leave Ireland
alone as she leaves Canada and Aus
tralia alone, except that England and
Ireland would be as one country so
far as foreign policy and army and
navy we're concerned. In brief, the
plan Is to make Ireland a self-gov.

POSTAL PAY.
Burleson Plan Seems to Favor Idlers
and Penallze Workers.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: why
cavil at the Presidents recent disregard
OF Congressional acts or laws? It's the
easiest thing the Democratic party does.
Witness the latest injustice to postal
employees. Mr.. Knons admits that the
act OF June 5 fixing salaries in the postal
service established 900 days as a clerks
yearly service. He then orders a con-
tinusnce Of the old system Of 365 days

menace to the pleasure seekers, who
seldom wander far from the State high
way which leads to Bear Mountain.
1t seems neither wise nor fair to the
sportsmen to make a game sanctuary OF
the whole of this great tract of easily
accessible wild State land. and particu-
larly so when we realize that sportsmen
have no legal right to shoot over the
adjoining lands upon which the game
from such a sanctuary would overflow.
If a portion, even one-half. were set

FIVE STREAMS TO WATCH.
Pedestrians Want POliceman's Help
at Dyckman Street and Broadway.

To THE New YORK HERALD Now that
much travelled Dyckman street from the
Speedway west to Broadway has been
repaved and put in tiptop condition for
pleasure as we'll as business traffic resi-
dents of the section are specializing on
what steps will be taken to make the
crossings safe for pedestrians. They are
doing so with the knowledge that in
the past the regulation of traffic has
been rather neglected in spite of the
fact that vehicles of all kinds are daily
growing more numerous.
The fact that traffic policeman is
needed at the crossing of Dycknan street
and Broadway Is indisputable. Yet more
than a year ago The traffic policeman sta
toned there was withdrawn and traffic
left to take care of itself True. there
are times when a policeman is on duty
there, but he isn't regularly assigned
to the post. 1t Is a haphazard system
and has aroused criticism from both
residents and drivers.
East and west through Dyckman
street there is constant flow of bust
ness ard pleasure traffic, with a similar
condition prevailing on Broadway To
oomplicate matters there is heavy auto
mobile traffic on Riverside Drive. which
turns into Broadway at this point. So
instead of having four streams to watch
the policeman. where there is one. has
to watch Ave at the junction of Broad
way and Dyckman street.
Now new traffic centre has arisen
at Maggie avenue and Broadway owing
to the opening of the Speedway to auto
mobiles. II is n precarious crossing for
pedestrians, particularly on Sundays, and
policeman Is needed there to straighten
out the tangle. REsIDENT.

LIKE A CLASSIC COLUMN.
An Interesting Detail Of the American
Surety Building Now Visible.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD Anent the
addition which is now being built to
the American Surety Company's building
at Broadway and Pine street and the
exposure of the southerly portion, an
interesting exposition of a refinement In
architectural design is disclosed.
When the late Bruce Price. the archi-
tect. was designing this building he was
impressed with the necessity OF recog-
MIXING and providing for the entasis or
the natural diminution of classic coll
umn toward the upper portion. and he
told me he had insisted upon the erec-
ton OF the outside steel columns OF the
buIldlnl and it's masonry skin TO incline
slightly inward, because the entire de-
sign could be looked upon as an enlarged

of Broadway and looks up TO the tower

An interesting aspect OF this entasis
was noted some years after the building
had long been tenanted. report gained
credence that the building adjoining on
the southland now demolshed--would
be replaced by a skyscraper outfrpping
the American Surety Building.
Some of the upper floor tenants. who
were comembers with me in the Mendels-
