Those Wicked Headlines

1T is teary picture that Com
missioner Enright paints in his an
nual report. We could weep for the
poor yeggmen, dips and hold-up
men who want so much to behave
and who try and try and try to be
good, only to be seduced by the
wicked newspapers, with their allur-
ing tales of successful robbery.
Ten Nights in a Barroom" held
nothing as full of sobs as this spec
tacle of well-meaning, kind-hearted
young thugs led into life of shame
by vicious headlines.
But in our humble way we can
not help wondering if Mr.. Enright,
being a literary man himself, does
not overestimate the Importance of
the printed word. There are other
methods Of communication in the
underworld than newspaper head
lines, we seem to have heard. II
burglary is brisk and the police
overpolite in any particular COM
munity we imagine that the tidings
get about among those profession
ally interested long before the
umpty umph victim gets peevish
and writes letter to his paper and
reporter investigates and one Of
those insidiously suggestive articles
is printed. Speaking offhand, we
should say that the public would
always be the last to learn of any,
thing as exclusive as a burglary cpl
demic, especially in community
like New York, where the police
consider it their bounden duty to
protect the public from all knowl-
edge of such painful details.
No, we think Mr.. Enright will
have to try again and find a better
excuse for the which, by
the way, elsewhere in his report he
proves never to have existed. Just
as Il suggestion, we otter the
thought that very likely the cause is
nothing else than the super-efi-
cicncy Of Mr.. Enright and his force.
which has goaded the underworld to
last desperate battle in a dying
effort to do Mr.. Enright dirt.
Dressed up in Mr. Enright's imagi-
native prose, this might be very ap-
pealing, we think. Even as thus
stated, in bald and unconvincing
journalese, it sounds more per-
suasive than that black guilt of the
headlines that robs the orphan of
his yeggman papa and sows the
seeds Of inquiry in a million inno-
cent hearts, more or less.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-12
Labor and the Press

Recently one Of the largest labor
unions il The city decided to forego
precedent and admit to it's more i'm
portant business meetings represen-
tativcs of the daily press. An in
vitation was extended by officials Of
the union, including vice-president
of the State Federation of Labor, for
reporters to attend sessions at which
upward Of $1,000 organized workers
were to vote on a question Of wage
scales and arbitration of new de-
mands. For the first time in the
history Of local labor matters the
press was welcomed.
This recognition was not due
wholly to the labor leaders desire
for publicity; it was inspired pri-
marily by situation about which
those leaders realized the public
must not be antagonized because of
any misunderstanding of the union s
aims. But the act of admitting the
reporters was good diplomacy, and
if the practice becomes general or
ganized labor will be materially ben
Gifted through more accurate
understanding of it's troubles on the
part Of the reading public.
The old custom Of evading the re-
porter, or of telling him, in effect, to
"clear out" and regarding him as
an ambassador of i'll will rather
than a writer of facts for public
consumption, is certain to pass with
the appearance of more intelligent
leaders of union labor.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-12
War Surplus Scandals

Evidence is plllng up which seems
to make inevitable an investigation
of the War Departments handling
of its surplus stocks. Secretary
Baker apparently decided after the
armistice to hold this surplus off the
market as far as possible His idea
may have been that to release sur
plus supplies for public consumption
would upset business and cause
losses to the manufacturers, jobbers
and retailers. This policy was un-
just to the hard-pressed consumer.
1t also cut down the salvage due to
the Treasury. Many of the supplies
deteriorated in value or became unfit
for consumption.
The charges which have been
appearing in The Globe cannot be
met with a mere disclaimer. These
charges are to the effect that the
sale of supplies was manipulated
inside the War Department for the
benefit of individuals either then in
the government service or formerly
IN close relations with it. Dates,
figures and names are given to show
that sales were juggled and stocks
withheld not to protect business in
general but to allow profits to favor
ties.
The integrity Of the department
is impeached by these accusations
N,r. Baker issued just before the
lection lame defense of the sur
plus sales operations. He conspicu-
ously avoided answering the charges
Of completely and manipulation. He
must himself feel that the depart
ment's reputation can be cleared
only through an investigation by ar
outside body. Even if the charges
are exaggerated or baseless, the i'm
