Labor Vandalism
o the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: l have recently learned from
good authority that large number Of
employing painters in this city are now
running their shops on the American
rlan,' j. e., they are employing high
class mechanics, whether union or nom
union, who will work SQrty-four hours
week for so dsy or s49.50 week,
with working conditions far better than
the average.
But how many Of your readers are
aware that these men, in order to avail
themselves Of the opportunity to make
these wages, are subjected to the mob
rule Of the striking. painters hired
thugs? How many people are aware
that men are being blackjacked and
slugged daily and that finished work is
being ruined by glass BOMBS containing
blue aniline dye?
I understand that last year between
thirty and forty men, were placed in
hospitals with broken heads and that
some Of these men barely escaped death,
Also that thousands and thousands of
dollars worth OF property was dam
aged by these selfsame glass bombs and
blue dye. And while complaints were
made day after day these acts Of vio-
lence. and vandalism still go on.
1t Fis about time that the general
public woke up to the fact that some
thing ought to bs done.

The Italian Victory

Red flags no longer Aoat above
the factories of Italy. The working
men who took possession have evacu-
ated. The plants seized, after three
weeks of idleness, have been turned
back to their old managers, nothing
damaged or stolen.
Thus ends one Of the most re-
markable episodes in industrial his
tory. Nothing like the occupation
has ever before occurred. Surely
nothing like the voluntary evacua-
tion after possession was clearly
established, with no power in Italy
strong enough to enforce ejectment.
Italian factory operatives have
had short and intensive course in
political economy. They have not
learned anything, but they have
harmed much. Theories of the So
cialists once popular with them are
seen to be hollow.
The Italian workman has learned
that more than control over the tools
of modern industry is necessary to
the welfare Of workers. Tools are
junk unless used, and to use them
management as well as toll is re-
CURED. The men wanted the mills
to run, but with all their skill in
special tasks they found that they
could not make their wheels revolvc

ers of the finished product are as
essential as those whose fingers fly
or hands move.
The Italian workman has not only
learned that cooperation between
management and worker Is indis.
pensable, but also that wages are
paid out Of product, and that when
production stops wages automatical.

Raise the Postal Savings Rate

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Men are going on record in favor
of Mr.. Meyers plan for raising the in
terest on postal savings to per cent.
May woman add her word, since small
savings are in our line?-
1t is an old and sound principle that
people work most heartily for the well
fare Of nation when their own welfare
is tangibly bound up with the larger
issue. Nehemiah recognized this when,
in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, he
assigned to each man the portion Of
the masonry near his own house. This
is time when as never before our gov
ernment needs the support and CO.
operation of thrifty people of small
means and cautious temper; and there
is no doubt that many such would in
vest small savings at per cent to
whom the present rate is less attractive
than either boarding orsspending.

General Fayolle, who is to rep
resent the French Army at the
American Legion gathering, is one
of those French commanders whose
fame has been confined chiefly to
their own country. The French gov
ernment sought to conduct what was
known as "a war of anonymity"
The German communicates spread
abroad the names Of army and even
divisional chiefs, but the French bull
letins seldom carried name. In
the earlier years of the war Joffre
was known to most American read
ers. De Castelnau and Foch became
known in a smaller measure-the
first because he saved Nancy, and
the latter because in 1914 and 1915
he was in charge Of the French
armies on the Allied front from
Amiens up to the North Sea and
thus came into close contact with
the British and found his way con-
Stantly into the British and Ameri-
can newspapers.
Fayolle never came much into the
limelight Of publicity, yet he great
ly distinguished himself as far back
as 1916 by his management Of the
French half Of the Somme offensive.
He went into eclipse after Nivelle
supplanted Joffre, but he re-
appeared under Petain, was sent
to Italy in the fall of 1917 to COM
mand the French contingent there,
and in 1918 was at the head Of the
group Of French armies which
checked the Ludendorff drive TO-
ward Amiens, repelled the German
drive toward Compiegne, and par.
ticipated in Foch's counter offensive
against the west side of the Marine
salient Fayolle remained an army
group commander up to the signing
OF the armistice and ranked among
French generals next to Foch
Petain and de Castelnau, and per.
haps on 3 level with Franche,
d'Esperey.

Our Debt torrance
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: France is about to make a paw
mcnt of s25O,OOO,0OO to the United
States of her war loan.
1t would be eminently fitting and
proper for the United States to say to
France at this time: "Take this $780,
100000 and apply 1t to the needs of the
widows, me@thers and orphans of France
whose husbands, sons and sires fell in
defense Of the libertiees OF the world"
We never can repay our moral debt
to France, but we can show as o nation
that we are not ungrateful.

Several unfortunate misunderstood.
ings seem TO have arisen among readers
on account Of the letter from Frank
Ward o'Malley, Of Brislle, NJ. j., which
we printed last week. ]. L. T. has seized
upon our reference to - Frank Ward

blunders concerning tne careers of men
like Ritchie and Denison were ludicrous
enough without the further confession
Of ignorance which you make concern
ing the identity of O,Malley. who
seems to be retired newspaperman'!
Don't you know anything?"
The answer is "Not much" but we had
heard of Mr.. O'Malley 8nd we mere
ly intended, in a rather heavy handed
way, to be facetious.
Donald l.. Chester, on the contrary,
rushes to our defense and writes: "Mr.
O'Malley seems to be in no very favor
able position to reproach you for in
accuracy since l note that throughout
his letter he refers to you as Brown
and also as Hayward Brown"
We think he did it on purpose, for
we are under the impression that he
could spell it better than that if he
cared to. Mary S. thinks "it was very
sporting" for US "to publish Mr..
O'Malleys savage attack" Here, also,
we believe there has been a msconcep-
ton of the intent At least, We don't
think he's really mad
But our troubles are not yet done.

The New York World. / will arise and
inform the universe that Martin estab-
llshed his reputation as newspaperman
in school that demanded more of its

"Mr. Frank Ward O'Malley and other

have chafted the past performances Of
1rv Cobb, Lindsay Denison and others
who helped make Chaplin famous as .

have spent with Martin Green in front
of the famous prescription case at
Perry's they display amazing ignorance
of his life and condition of servitude
previous to landing on Park Row.
~But Mr.. O'Malley spoke a mouthful
when he said:

triples in profuaion. And, believe ME,
