MIR. Howat's Two Civil Wars.

The question long pending whether
ALEXANDER HowAT is the State of
Kansas remains complicated with the
further question whether HowAT is
the United Mine Workers Of America.
Mr.. HowATs collision with the State
of Kansas has put him in Jail, with
every prospect of his remaining there
for the next six months. His COLI
sion with the United Mine Workers
has put him out Of that union.
But Mr.. HowAT defies both Kansas
and the union. He will not recognize
the laws of Kansas except such as
meet his personal, expressed ap-
proval, and he proclaimed the fact
from the housetops until the laws OF
Kansas restricted the forum Of his
proclamations to the confines OF q
Jail cell. He will not recognize the
edicts of the Mine Workers Union,
end he hurls defiance at that union
through the grated Jail windows. His
attitu toward the State of Kansas
and the union collectively he COM
presses into the terse slogan: "To
hell with Governor ALLEN and JOHN
LEWIS. Our plans are unchanged.
We will continue to fight"
Meanwhile the Court of Industrial
Relations, which was the cause Of
Mr.. HowATs declaration Of inde-
pendence against the State of Kansas
and of the civil war which he is
now waging against that Common
wealth--so far as Jail rules will per-
mit-is functioning quite smoothly
and ironing out labor controversies
with much success. In the year and
eight months that it has been in ex-
istence more than thirty cases have
been brought before it for adjudica-
tion. It may SAVIOR OF treason to
the Howat cause, but the fact re-
mains that labor union leaders them
selves brought the majority of these
appeals for judgment. Twenty-eight
of the cases have been decided and
out OF these twenty-eight decisions,
all Of them affecting wages, working
conditions and contracts, twenty
seven have been accepted as entirely
satisfactory both to employees and
employers.

ton of war against Kansas he an.

Wage Costs and Trade.

For some time the monthly reports
of foreign trade of the United States
have displayed no conspicuous alter
ations in their general aspect as rep.
resented by total exports and i'm
ports. October was no exception. Ex
ports for that month were S346,00O..
600, figure from six to twenty mill
ions larger than exports for any
month since March, with the one ex
ception of August, when the outgoing
trade was 1867, 100000.
Imports for October were $1S3,000,.
900, figure which varied by only a
few millions from import figures for
every month since June. Likewise
the excess of exports for October
S163, 600, was about the average OF
the excess exports in the range from
SS5,000,0 600 in April up to $172, 900, ,00C
in August.
But olose- analysis of the nine
months to October 1, 1921, reveals
that our exports have been undergo
ing q marked alteration in character
In the last six months we have lost
our grip on many markets calling foi
manufactured goods ready for con
sumption. Had It not been for the
sustained and even increased foreign
demand for our raw materials and ar
ticles of food our trade in that period
would have made much worse show
ing than u did.
In January, 1921, manufactured
articles exported constituted 46 pei
cent. Of the outgoing trade in value
in February the figure was the same
in March, AZ per cent; in April, AZ
per cent. In May, which was virtu
ally the elimination of deflation and
depression here, our manufactured
exports slumped to 2S per cent; In
June the percentage was "a; in July

Freedom Of Speech.
Opinions About Police Interference
at the Town Hall.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Please
permit me to differ with your editorial
article entitled "Wholly Inexcusabe.'
There seems to be generally wrong
opinion Of what free speech means. The
New York Constitution says distinctly
that every citizen has the right to ex-
press his sentiments but he is held re-
sponsible for its abuse. That means
that there is certain curb put upon
free speech, If this was not done, there
would be all kinds of anarchistical
speeches made, and there would be no
way of preventing the overthrow OF
organized government Also If there was
no limit to the kind Of speeches which
person could make we would have
advocates of immortality and advocates
OF other crimes. Hence the clause in
the Constitution making the person re-
sponsible for the abuse Of free speech.
1t seems to me that the only wholly
inexcusable" act done by the police was
In not gathering enough evidence to hold
the defendants for Special Sessions.
Where was Captain Donohoe? 1t is no
excuse to say that he could not be found.
He knew that the case was coming up
in court on a certain day and he should
have been there. Magistrate Corrigan
did not say anything about free speech !;
he held that the evidence was INSULT

All the rest of our exports were COM
posed OF crude materials for use in
foreign factories or of foods.
Other countries fully equipped to
make and export finished products
are again in the running. In the
matter of quality We can compete.
In the matter OF financing We ought
TO be able to come out with an ad-
vantage, because We have larger
credit reserves than any other ma
tion. But in the matter Of costs we
go down to defeat, because wages.
the chief factor in the price of fin
ished products, are still inflated.
Other countries can offer lower
prices than ours, not because the pur-
chasing power Of their money is
higher in raw materials which 80
into the finished articles out because
the purchasing power of their money
in their labor markets is higher than
the American dollar in the American
labor market. This is particularly
true of Germany. 1t is true even OF
England; and these are the chief
manufacturing nations with which
we have to compete.
The report Of British trade for Oc-
tober shows that with exports Of
f72,640,000, imports of fS4,740,000,
and excess imports of only f12,000,-
600, Great Britain has been able to
keep up her exports and reduce her
unfavorable balance, largely ~ the
sale Of manufactured goods, to ap-
proximately the level of the excess
imports of pre-war months.
High costs in American manufac-
lures do not figure solely in the for.
eign trade. Despite all the tariff
wrinkles that might be invented, un-
der prevailing conditions nothing
can prevent foreign nations from un-
derselling our goods right here in
the domestic markets, and even If
they could be barred from the Amer
lean field they would, by shutting US
out of foreign markets, compel US to
retain our surplus goods at home.
For us this would mean, and 1t has
meant, as anybody can see, slack
production and increased unemploy-
ment as natural results.
Tariff or no tariff, the argument
for bringing down labor costs either
with wage cuts or with higher pro-
ductivity at q maintained wage is
unanswerable.

Tag Birds or Lose Them.

Those who have been in the habit
Of shipping wild ducks, geese and
other migratory birds without tags
describing the contents of each pack
age have been violating Federal
law and are liable to prosecution by
the United States authorities and to
suffer the seizure of their game.
Sharing ones bag with a friend is
manifestation of the true quality
Of sportsmanship. It is the outward
sign of the spirit which finds joy
in giving, and it would be pity to
Rave it's expression marred through
lack of knowledge of the law.
That this may not happen the
Bureau of Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture calls attention to the law,
which provides that all packages con-
tanning migratory birds must have
the names Of the shipper and the
consignee and an accurate statement
of the number and kinds of birds
contained therein clearly and con-
spicuously marked thereon.
With so simple a regulation it
would seem the part Of aisdom for
shippers to comply with the law.
This would not only protect the ship
per but at the same time insure the
gratitude of the man who had the
hominy and the appetite waiting for
the canvasback or the redhead at the
other end Of the line.

Improving the Locomotives.
Objections Stated to the Suggestions
of Railroad Man.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A letter
you recently published regarding wastes
permitted in railroad locomotive opera
ton is very good example Of the type
Of misinformatlon which the public Is
road situation.
1t is very true that many railroad
shops are very antiquated. but the sug-
gestions your correspondent made have
many objections or they would have
been in use long ago. The air com.
pressor cannot use exhaust steam be-
cause portable apparatus cannot be
made condensing. This would require
greatly increased bulk and condensins
water, sufficient amount Of which can.
not be carried, also a dry air pump to
maintain the necessary vacuum
Furthermore, the compressor is usu-
ally operating while the train Is stopped
when there Is no exhaust steam. and
as some simple means must be provided
to maintain the draught, the exhaust
is sent up the stack.
The suggestion that the injector uses
live steam and Is therefore wasteful is
not found so in practice. 1t is one OF
the most efficient heat users we have, as
all the heat in the steam is immedi.
ately returned to the boiler-it Is true
at a lower temperature, but the heat
units have not been lost. Modern loco
motives have tubes In which the feet
water is partially heated by the spent
furnace gases. but If the heating Il
carried too far the injector will fail t.
function, because 1t is primarily a con
densing device and depends on sum
cient difference In temperature betweer
the steam and the feed water to give
that water. sufficient velocity to entei
the boiler against steam pressure. Should
an Independent pump be used Vt would
have the same objections rs mentioned
above.
There are undoubtedly economies
which can be made In the larger loco
motives. such as brick arches and me
chanical stokers. which would avoid tn,
open fire door, permitting cold air t,
enter and chill the gases entering tn,

Chinese Minister COmmends the New

->ON. 10.
FRANK A. MuNsEY,
Publisher The New YORK HERALD;
1 have read with profound interest
your editorial in THE HERALD of No
vember II, entitled Make a Clean
Sweep Now of All Outlaw Warfare.
Although China was somewhat out
side OF the main track of the Euro
pean war we did feel. to a consider
able extent. some of the effects of 1t
which We're covered in your editorial.
by this I mean that the Chinese
laborers on the western front suffered
from the use of poison gas, and our
commerce suffered great deal from
the menace Of the submarine.
Although our delegation is not par
ticipating directly in the discussions
pertaining to the limitation of arma-
ment in the present conference we do
have vital interest in the entire
matter 1t is no secret that civiliza-
ton received serious setback in the
recent war, and it will require long
time for the world to recover from its
effects.
We hope that the present confer
ence will eliminate wars entirely from
the world, but in case that ideal can
not be reached certainly we do hope
that the conference will make future
wars less disastrous by eliminating
many of the features that served to
make the last war permanent blot
upon the worlds civilization.
With sincere compliments to you
for your strong stand on this subject,
l am, SAo- KE ALFRED SEE,
Chinese Minister.

would leave the State. Five hundred
did leave, and the Kansas coal pro-
duction of the year following their
departure exceeded by 100000 tons
what it had been the year before
when they were on the job and kick
ing up strike rows. A few hundreds
OF the Howat army of miners are
still in the field industriously loafing
and resolving In mass meetings that
they will not do o stroke OF work un-
til ALEXANDER is out of jail. Mean
while the output of Kansas coal con-
tinues to be satisfactory. That seems
about to cover the news from the
Howat-Kansas civil war front.
The status of the Howat-United
Mine Workers conflict is more COM
rlicated. The attorney of the United
Mine Workers has notified all banks
holding KansaA district funds to
honor no checks signed by represen-
tdllfeS VI the hduotS uiStl Nv Va
ganization. The attorney for the
Kansas district organization has
served notice on the same banks to
honor no checks not signed by rep
resentatives Of that organization.
Thus the Howat and the United Mine
Workers forces are in legal dead
lock.
There is a special public interest
in this civil war between the two
great coal labor barons, HowAT and
LEWIS, because it is in progress
so near the time when existing union
mining contracts terminate and the
union demand for higher wages and
five hour day is to be launched.
That will be about the first Of next

A November Nightfall.

The sky is wrapt in sullen gray;
The wind repeats sad refrain;
The long road dips, then fades away,
An umber ribbon in the rain.
The cattle cover about the byre;
The barren branches writhe and twist
The slender finger of the spire
Is spectral in the shrouding mist.
Then dusk shuts ominous and sheer
Upon q land of lost delight,
And till the dawn one seems to hear
Weird goblin voices haunt the night.
