 The general conduct of the young men of America who went across the sea has been widely praised. Their behavior was not such as to suggest that they were towards or slackers, or libertines and drunkards.

DANGEROUS BLUFF1NG

From the Tampa Tribune.
 Talk of a railroad strike may prop
 erly be discounted. Even the vote |of the railroad unions in favor of
 striking may be discounted. The
 railroad men surely have more sense
 than to go on strike just now It
 not, their leaders have more sense
 than to order strike. But why
 then, the strike vote?
 It is plausibly explained that this
 vote Is merely weapon placed by the~ men in their leaders hands to E use in tho game of negotiation with Che railroads and the railroad labor
 board.
 That, however. Is dangerous weapon to flourish at this time, whether loaded or not. It fosters in dustrial controversy when the great need is for industrial understanding and cooperation. A real transporta- tion strike would upset the whole sys- | tenn of industry just when 1t is get ting nicely started again. The mere threat of a strike Is unsettiing; 1t tends to, lessen confidence and retard revival.
 Such action is bad for the railroad ] unions, too. because it invites charges
 of inconsistency and bad faith. The l2 per cent wage cut which the mon are opposing was made by the raii- ] road labor boasd which represents the United States government. and 1 which was provided by legialation urged by the railroaq mep themselves.
 high wages of last year were sealed 1 to meet the cost of living, and that the cost of living has fallen now more

FLAsHLEss GUN FIRE


 From tho Philadelphia Public Led
 ger.
 Big guns for distant firing at tar gets over the horizons rim are no novelty to a world that saw shells falling in Paris from a gun 75 miles away. The hurling of shell weigh ing more than a ton to a distance of 80 miles is not particularly exciting to world that has known something of the power and reach and jar of naval rifles.
 Now popular interest in the ord- nance demonstration at the Aber- deen proving grounds will center in the flashless powder that has been developed by American experts. Nat urally. it's secret will be kept as long az possible. There seems no doubt that it is all that has been claimed for it.
 Men who watched the tests-and there was nothing secret about them were amazed and well-nigh incred- ulous. The roar of discharge was there. but there was no more than a pale glow from the gun muzzles.
 This was the significant and dra- matic thing in the Aberdeen tests. In the next was massed batteries locked wheel to wheel in night bar rage fire, wills not rip the sky with sheets of flame.

 This ultimatum would have put an end to effort on the part of men without initiative and imagination, but not so with the Junior Chamber. That body went to the merchants and property owners on South Twen- tieth street and induced them to make up the difference between the 8719 and the par value of the SIS, ,000 of bonds required for the work. They raised the difference.
 What was done in the case of South Twentieth street can be re- peated in other projects for the im- provement of Birmingham.

Unemployment Conference Discovers Nothing New


 IF the conference to limit arma U ments doesn't accomplish nor, than the unemployment conference it will be another failure attributed to- the Harding administration.
 The eight major recommendation of the subcommittee of the confer ence include:
 1. Readjustment of railroad rates to a fair basis of the rela- tive value of commodities with reduction of rates upon pri- mary commodities, but at the same time safeguarding the fi- nanclal stability of the railways.
 2. Speedy completion of the tax bill.
 ,. Immediate settlement or definite postponoment of tariff legislation, in order that business rpay determine it's future policy.
 I. Passage of tho rail refund ing bill to increase railway em- nloyment and stimulate general employment,
 6. Passage of world armament and consequent decrease of the tax burden.
 6. Steps looking to the mini mixing of fiuctuations in ex- change. to end the great slump in manufactured exports.
 [ Definite programmes of &C., ton that will lead to more reg ular employment in seasonal and intermittent industries. notably in the coal industry.
 8. Restoration of the pre-war price relationships.
 Not one of these recommendation brings out any new facts regarding tLe industrial situation in America Most of them have been repeatedl. discussed in newspapers, in publi addresses and in Congress. Th' unemployment conference met witt great deal of unnecessary fuss an, bother, and the usual amount of pub licity, and after lengthy delibera tions has merely discovered wha every reasonably well informed per son in the country knew.
 We are not going to make an. progress toward a return to norma conditions by sitting down and talk ing about our troubles. The tim for that has passed. The unemploy ment conference has no officia power. It can only suggest and rec ommend. So can any other body O American citizens, without takinl the trouble to go to Washington Since opinion is fairly unanimou as to what are the evils which af flict the country, why not quit the orizing and do something? Con gress can help, state, county an municipal governments can help an every private employer of labor.

Little Things Count

Tt is strange how little thing can deceive you" said P. L. Braswell. About week ago was standing on A street corner with a friend and Ne remarked that judging from the license card colors there were num- Der of strange cars in town.
 T then noticed the same thing, and we had about come to the con clusion that there must be a conyen- ton of some kind in the city when a car stopped in front of US and we saw that it was the new Alabam 8 license we had been noticing and not the license of some other state.
 T found out that the new licenses were issued October 1, and I was be- hind the times. One thing about the new license is that it specifics "pri- vate" for private cars, as well as having taxi" and truck" on the license numbers of public cars"
