COAL

BRITISH LABOR SANITY

THOSE nervous persons who have
l. been expecting a revolution by force
in Great Britain will read with relief
the report that the Trade Union Con-
gress by vote of 3. 732 900 to LOIS. =
600 has decided in favor of seeking their
ends by political action rather than by
n general strike.
This result was anticipated by all who
had not forgotten that generations Of
training in the processes of constitu-
tiOnal government lead men to prefer
those processes to fOrCible revolution.
The habit Of tho British citizen has
not been changed in five years. Neither
has the temper of the American citizen.
The methods that appeal to a Boshcvik.
for example, are abhorrent to men
brought up in the atmosphere of liberty
because they know that a majority can
get whatever it wishes. and that until
a majority wishes a specific thing. it is
tyranny for the minority 10 force il
upon the majority.
So whatever else tho labor party
wishes in Great Britain it is evident
that it does not wish minority rule.

A DRIVE ON DIRT

EILTHINESS of certain districts south
L of Market street and east OF Broad
is due in part to the disregard ot the
ordinances forbidding throwing rubbish
nto the streets and in part to the failure
of the contractors to cart away the ruo-
bish put in the proper receptacles.
These two reasons. however, are only
one, namely, that the filth of the dis
trict Is due to politics.
The enforcement of the ordinances is
up to the police department but under
the old regime the policemen failed to
do their duty. A conscientious officer
who attempted to induce the business
men and the householdcrs to obey the
law was likely to find himself removed
to district far from his home. while
more complainant man was put IN his
place. And under the old regime the
contractors were treated lCniCntIy by the
head of the Department of Public Works,
even more leniently than Director Win
ston is now treating them when he re-
mits fines recommended by the chief OF
the street cleaning bureau for neglect
to keep the fireplugs clear of snow. Mr..
Winston says there was delay and
not neglect" distinction which. IL
carried to its logical conclusion. would
lead to the notification of tho tining
provisions in the contracts.
All that we need to keep tho city
clean is to compel the contractors to do
their duty and to see to it that the
householders and business men obey the
ordinances. Colonel Mordcn. of the
street cleaning bureau, has annovnced
that he will have the offenders warned
and then. if they disregard the warning.

SENSIBLE DAYLIGHT SAVING

THE repeal Of the daylight saving
l. law by Congress was in the nature Of
disaster for all people who live in
cities. The long day was boon to
every one who works indoors. But the
ordinance by which City Council hoped
to edge past the authority of Congress
and restore the daylight schedule on
March 2S cannot be made operative.
4 law of the state makes it obligatory
on us to conform to time standards
recognized by Congress.
Mrs. NJ. c. Klinglesmith has Just
discovered this fact in the University
Law Library. She told newspaper
and the newspaper told the Mayor aud
the Mayor told David J. Smyth. the
city solicitor, and Mr.. Smyth will tell
Council.
The EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER has
told all these people the same thing at
various times within the last few
months. The law was quoted on this
page December II last.
Independent time schedules would
work endless confusion. A far more
sensible plan is that suggested this
morning by Ellwood Is. Chapman, rep
rcsrnting the Chestnut Street Assoca E
tion, who would have the Chambers of
Commerce of the country range them @.
selves in support of plan to begin and
end the business day an hour earlier. II
business associations generally support
this plan the long day will be possible

THE difference between the new Lodge
4 reservation TO Article y OF the
League of Nations covenant and the old
reservation is the difference between
good manners and insolent Obstinacy.
The old reservation announced that
"The United States declines to assume
any obligation 20 preserve the territorial
integrity" etc. The new reservation
announces that The United States as.
sumes no obligation. etc.
The meaning OF the two is identical
The old one was courhed in terms that
indicated hostile and belligprent
temper. II was a slap in the face OF
those who had drafted the treaty The
new one is a mere statement of pur
pose without any implied beIligercncy.
The change is slight, but it really
indicates the dawning Of more con
ciliatory mood in the mind Of Senator
Lodge and those who follow his lead
and it brings ratification pcrcoptibly
nearer.
