The Boston Printers Strike.

Those newspaper printers Of Boston
who have violated the rules of their
own organization by striking in re-
fusal to accept an arbitration award
on the question of wages have given
q serious blow to the cause of organ.
lied labor in this country. One Of the
most definite stipulations in the Inter-
national Typographical Union contract
with the publishers is that there shall
be no strike over an arbitrable uues.
ton. In the Boston case the proceed.
ings were regular. The issue Of wages
was referred to a local arbitration
board and was decided adversely to the
printers. The printers then had the
right to appeal to the national arbitra.
ton board for a review and rearbitra-
ton. They chose, however, to reject
the local award and to strike, breaking
their own rules, invalidating their own
agreement and challenging the author.
lty Of their own officials.
The Boston newspapers have con.
tinued to appear, though in somewhat
reduced form, because in each Office
some Of the printing staff remained q.
work in obedience to their uc..on law.
Public sympathy is Enthusiastically with
the papers against the strikers. The
men who have struck have asserted
that they are quitting work not as
members Of an organization. but as in.

The Tariff and the Republicans.

Again the republicans, in office on
promise to revise the tariff, are
warning among themselves about ap-
plying the policy of protection. and
again there are views and reviews of
past tariff performances by Congress.
Take this question: To what extent
did the Payne-Aldrich revision Of 1903
contribute to the defeat in 1912 of
President Taft, who had approved it?
Two answers are offered. One is that
1t contributed a good deal. 1t had
divided the republican party and
brought about the loss of the House
n 1910. That loss widened still fur
ther the party division, and two years
later brought about complete defeat.
The other answer is that the defeat
Of Mr.. Taft for reelection is referable
solely to the personal ambition of
Theodore Roosevelt. Granted that the
Payne-Aldrich tariff revision was de-
fective. Granted. since it cannot be
denied. that the defects caused the de-.
feat of 1910. Still, the revision in
operation did not produce all the bad
effects that had been predicted, and by
1912 was, it is contended by some po-
litical students. working so smoothly
and acceptably that but for the candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Roosevelt, which was not
based on objection to the new tariff
law, Mr.. Taft would have been re-elect-
ed. In his first term Mr.. Wilson was a
minority President. Had the repub-
licans remained united in 1912 they
would have scored another victory.
But no matter. That is old stuff. The
live issue is the division now exist
ing, and widening. over the revision
now due and taking shape, and which
If it is not healed is likely to defeat
the party in power at the polls next
year. 40.

Virginia.

The republicans Of Virginia will put
a state ticket in the field this year. and
for that purpose will meet in conven-
ton at Norfolk July IA.
Arrangements are in progress Tor
making the occasion memorable in the
party's local history. The counties
are to be we'll represented. both as
respects delegates and visitors. The
gathering will be large.
In addition to local leaders Of prom
inence, national leaders and party Of
ficials will attend bylinvitation and ad.
dress the meeting. Chairman Adams
Of the national committee and Chair.
man Fess of the national congress
sional committee will be present and
give encouragement to what is being
done.
This is the note. Granted that the
fight is uphill, with the chances slight
of making the grade. Granted that in
either of the two men contending for
the gubernatorial nomination the DEM
ocrats will be we'll led. Yet the re-
publicans should make an effort, and
the best one possible. They should call
on the pick Of their number to accept
nominations. and conduct an earnest
and thorough campaign.
The situation in the south is well
known. In some Of the states in that
quarter the republicans have no or
ganization worthy the name. Only a
skeleton something bearing the name
exists, and functions principally in
dividing the spoil Of Office when the
party is in national control.
But this is not true of Virginia. The
republicans Of the Old Dominion have
a good organization. and in number
Of counties and several congressional
districts make a highly creditable rec
ord on election day. In these new
times, with new issues. they should
bestir themselves, if for no other rea-
son than to show how much alive
they are.

FOREIGN Trade and the Navy.
Said Secretary DENLY at Ge'

Said Secretary Denny at Ieofs seto"A

America must maintain Navy SUI :
Hciently large to keep tine sea lanes
open at all time, that her goods may
pass freely across the earth. or else

merce should be cut off even for sew
eral months. Industrial America is
bound to the world through its for-
eign trade. 1t is absurd to say the
United States can get along with a
neratiye Navy. Our goods must flow
through international trade channels
with as little interruption as possible.
Only an efficient Navy can insure this
free passage of goods for our indus
tries"
Can any little Navy advocate gain

human nature. A merchant fleet needs

be it remembered that our present

circle the globe with our products.
And. Of course the larger our trade.
the greater the necessity for its pro-
lection. Its growth is not going to
give pleasure to any Of our COM
petitors. So that to encourage its
growth, and derive ourselves the pleas.
ure that issues from growth. we must
provide protection commensurate with
trade established far and near.
A survey Of the subject from any
point of view gives full reasons for
making the Navy adequate in every

Proiteering in Shoes.

In its report on the high prices Of
shoes from 1918 on. the Federal Trade
Commission tells the usual story of
gross profiteering. Excessive profits
were taken all along the line by the
tanners and manufacturers clear down
to the retailers: profits out of all
proportion to the increase in cost.
1t was the buyers strike in the spring
Of 1920 that first halted the advance.
To give the dealers due credit. it was
no fault of theirs that they did not
continue to move prices upward. But
now that raw materials have declined,
the consumer is not yet getting the
benefits to which he is entitled
At one end the farmer and at the
other the consumer are nursing their
grievances. Calfskins and hides bring
only a fraction of war prices; foot
wear has been marked down only
slightly. In the circumstances all the
explanations that may be offered will
not cool their resentment.
The profiteering habit has taken a
frm hold on a class of business men
who still imagine that they are be-
yond the reach of retaliation. Many
dealers went through the buyers
strike Of last year anwarned by the
experience that there must be a fair
read3ustment Of the selling prices of
all necessaries. and forgetful that the
public has learned that it has the
power and the means to protect its
interests.-New York World demo

The German War Crimes.

When agreement was reached be-
tween the allies and German repre-
sentatives that the terms Of the Yer
sailles treaty regarding the punish
ment Of those guilty of crime in war
should be left to the. German court
sitting at Lcipsig there was little faith
that real justice would be done. But
apparently that was the best arrange
ment that could be made. The trials
have started. To date three Germans
have been brought to court, two of
them accused Of cruelty to prisoners
in camp and one. naval officer. for the
responsibility of sinking hospital ship.
The two former have been convicted
and sentenced to short terms. The
naval officer was acquitted on the
ground that he was simply obeying
orders.
These trials have caused a pro-
nounced reaction in France and are
regarded as evidence that no adequate
punishments will be administered by
the German court. Subsequent cases
may remove this impression. but now
there is serious tension in the French
senate and chamber Of deputies be-
cause of what is denounced as the
farce of the Leipsig trial. A manifesto
ton Of this feeling is just reported.
A member of the senate put In an
Interpolation on what measures the
French government intends to take
concerning execution Of the treaty Of
Versailles relative to bringing William
Hohenzollern,, ex-kaiser Of Germany,
to trial for his crimes against human
ity." A tumult arose in the senate and
the Interpolation was postponed, ow-
ing to the absence Of the premier.
1t was thought that the question Of
the trial Of the ex-kaiser had been
definitely settled, owing to the refusal
Of Holland to extradite him, that re-
fusal being stated in explicit terms.
Only in consequence Of complete
change Of mind at The Hague could
the person of the ex-kaiser be secured.
There is no sign Of such a change and
Hohenzollern himself shows no symp-
toms Of wishing to leave the sanctuary
of the Netherlands. The real purpose Of
the Interpolation at Paris. therefore,
would seem to be to raise the whole
question Of the punishments on the
ground that the German war guilty
are escaping and the treaty is not be-
ing carried into effect. Probably there
is politics in the effort to embarrass
the French administration.

Not a Master Mind Crime.

Early in April a number of men
drove up to vacant lot near one Of
the railroad stations in Chicago in an
automobile and began playing ball.
Presently a mail truck was driven up
to the loading platform and suddenly
the ball players swooped upon it in
body and in few moments had
taken from it several sacks Of reg
istered mail, thrown them into their
motor car and disappeared. The crime
was committed as expeditiously as II
it had been rehearsed, as for the
movies. For the past two months the
government agents have been at work
upon the theft and now it appears they
have solved it. They have taken eight
men prisoner, including one believed
to be the leader of the gang. former
state legislator and at present the head
of the Gas Workers Union, who en-
joys the famous cognomen of big
Tim."- This man Murphy. it is alleged.
was the leader, to'whom mail clerk
gave the signal that the money van
was at the platform. by tipping his
hat. Murphy in turn tipped his hat
to the ball players. That hat tipping
caused the court yesterday to fix his
bail at 100000. which he was unable
to produce: The sum Of $4,000 was
found in a trunk in the home Of his
father.in.law. but that is not available
for bail.
These arrests are encouraging. They
go to show that crime is not as easy
as it would seem. Whether the GOV
ernpaent RECEIVERS all the. stolen mat.
ter or not, If it can put. in prison the
men implicated in the robbery it will
have scored a triumph. The worst
form Of crime is that which Is not de-
tected or punished. A mail robbery
at Toledo committed some time earlier
has led. to arrests and the accused are
now on trial with good proepect Of
their conviction. The Toledo case In.

The Presidents Shipping Policy.

President Harding's shipping pol.
icy, outlined in dispatch from
Washington, is economically sound,
He proposes:
1. That the business of ship op-
Grafton be turned over to private
interests with as little delay as pos
siple-
g.. That deficits must be stopped.
20: That the Shipping Board shall
make an appraisal Of the. assets Of
the government under its Jurisdiction
and charge to the war every liabil-
profitable. =
1t is a sound policy. but is the ad-
ministration prepared to carry 1t to
its logical conclusion? It may in
volve the sale Of ships at very low
prices. When that was attempted
before there was a tremendous howl
from various quarters. It may in
volve practically the entire aban-
,donment of our roseate plans for a
merchant marine.
Tho project Of a. great American
merchant marine has appealed pow
erfully to the Imagination Of the
American people. But they would
not be willing to carry 1t on indef-
nitely at loss for the benefit Of

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Question of Amount.

The world arises in its pride
And says, Let all endeavor,"
To put hostilities aside.
That peace may reign forever.
But when the pugilists draw near
Our purses gaily rattle.
And breathless millions stand and cheer
Their hero in the battle.
The rules are never all the same
When courage takes its chances
If trays are fraught with praise or
blame
Depends on circumstances.
A single warrior, bold and strong,
Arouses no invective.
1t seems that fighting's only wrong
When it becomes collective.
