Saying Ii With Flowers

Nirgnia's fame and bring to it material as

idea, following the campaign which made
the iris Richmonds official flower, has ger

no reason why it should not grow and I'M
fold into Statewide horticultural associa-

The suggestion has been made by the
James River Garden Club. which is now
holding its annual Flower Festival and
Iris Show. and il that association displays
the same vigor and resourcefulness that il

no one will question it's success.
The idea is sound in conception. Other
garden clubs throughout the State arc in

Reduction Not an Injustice

FRANK MORRISON, secretary OF the
American Federation of Labor, protests
that there is no Justification for the 30
per cent reduction in the wages OF en-
ployes of the United States Steel Corpora
ton. He says: The employees of the steel
trust are unorganized They are helpless.
The steel trust is law unto itself. and ii is
permitted TO violate the antitrust laNs be-
cause Of the fear that it will interfere with
the company's foreign trade
We hold no brief to defend the so-called
steel trust; but public knowledge of its
career supports the statement OF sincerity
OF effort on its part to comply with the anti
trust act, as construed by the courts in
numerous instances when its practices were
declared ont OF conformity with the statute
1t has taken more than a quarter OF Il
century OF judicial effort at construction to
clarity the act so in the confusion which
has surrounded Il violation OF some of its
provisions may not offhand be charged as
deliberate defiance. The steel trust,
whether involuntarily or Intentionally,
perhaps has been no more frequent Il viola
tor OF the law than several other big cor
porations constituting our key industries
AS 10 TIE wage reduction announced by
the corporation this is no greater than re-
auctions that are taking place in numer-
Gus other industries in response to the Low
cred costs of living and the necessity for
abandonment OF the high level Of war
wages, TO bring about resumption of in
dustrial activity, essential To the welfare
of all forms OF labor. Although the steel
company's employees are unorganized in
( the sense Of being under the dictation OF
the American Federation of Labor they
received the beneti. of wage advances dur
: ing the period oi7wdf activity, and now they
arc being treated no worse than the or
gained employees affiliated with the Fedora
tion of Labor in numerous other large in
dustrial concerns which have been forced
to institute cuts in wages in order to keep
K on producing.

Spoken in Heat

THE TlMES-DISPATCH does not believe
that any considerable number OF per-
sons-certainly not the Piedmont and Val
ley sections as n whole--wll agree with
the Charlottesville Progress in its petulant
denunciation of Richmond following its
selection the site OF the States great
medical school, the Medical Department OF
the University of Virginia. When the keen
edge Of its chagrin has worn off and it views
the commissions decision in the calm light
of what ii means to the cause OF medical
education in this State and the South,
believe even the Progress will regret that
it has characterized it as the proposed
selfish grab and called upon "all genuine
and loyal Nirginians' TO rebuke "the selfish
and grasping spirit of the cavital city"
Were il otherwise. Richmond woI, resent
the charge that enough public money has
already been spent OH beautifyug and
adjoining that place (Richmond) to satisfy
the most greedy, but the words have been
spoken in the heat of local disappont-
ment, and SO will be forgiven and forgot
ten.
Richmond is prepared to work hand i'll
hand with Charlottesville for the greater
glory OF the University OF Jefferson, and
that glory will be magnihed--not dimmed
by the placing of its medical department
in the capital OF the State with its superior
advantages. Richmond has heard the de-
osion of the commission in no selfish spirit,
hut it does rejoice because il believes" the
decision was carefully considered and wise
~ delivered, surely those Nirginians who
served arduously on the commission are
genuine and loyal" and no one in his right
mind will accuse them OF aiding and abet-
ting Richmond in putting across a selfish
grab. Their devotion to the profession,
their loyalty TO the State and their love for
the university are TOO we'll known to warrant
such prcposterous suggestion

Underwriters AGENTS
URGE FIRE PROTECTION

DASVII.LE. VA. May 5-Thc re-
port made by agents OF the National
Board OF Fire Underwriters. who
:pen, q month here recently. has been
completed, pointing out numerous
deficiencies and the lire hazard being
considered high.
Numerous recommendations arc
made. which. II followed. will entail
an expenditure of many thousands OF
dollars. The water supply Is con-
sidcrcd good. but the fire department
is characterized as weak, inefficient
and UNDETERMINED, with much nccca-
sary equipment for a town of this
size lacking and the individual eili-
cheney being generally low
The recommendations include the
addition OF fully twelve to the full
time force. the purchase OF an aerial
truck, also n new large motor pumpcr.
II is urged also that the Mrcmcn be
given periodical drill. also that the
city adopt Il building code to cope
with the fire hazard. The last report
made BY the board was in 1911.
