IF the Strike Is Called
Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The railroad unions have thrown
down the gauntlet and the public will
be governed accordingly.
If the unions persist in creating an
intolerable condition for purely selfish
ends the public has enough -blooded
men who will volunteer their services
to the railroads to enable them to keen
open the lines of communication for
mail, travel and food supplies.
/ have talked with number Of busi-
ness men and every one has expressed
himself as solidly against the tactics
Of the unions. If the unions persist in
placing In jeopardy the health--the
lives, even-of the public, that public
will rise up in its might and administer
to the unions the worst setback and re-
buke ever suffered by unionism.
The time has passed when the un-
ions can dictate to the public and
cause untold suffering and uncounted
millions in losses to industry. which is
the backbone of this country. The
sooner unionism has had it's lesson the
better of will the country be. If the
threatened strike is called the strikers
will soon learn where they stand with
the public generally. l.. G. ROSE.

The Herrick Bomb

The attempt OF Ambassador Her.
rick's life by French Communists
followed a campaign conducted in
Paris for the release of two Italians
convicted some time ago of murder
at Braintree, Mass. A mob at Brest
stoned the American Consulate yes
terday in behalf of these two pris-
oners, now awaiting sentence.
What is the psychology of these
fantastic outbreaks? The men tried
for murder said they were Com
munists, and raised the cry that they
were being prosecuted for that rea-
sen. Under the Massachusetts, laws
they were found guilty of holding up
and killing shoe factory paymaster
and his guard. The United States
government had nothing to do with
the case. None of it's agents had a
part in the trial. 1t couldn't inter
fere in the prosecution or in the exc
cution Of sentence. It's diplomatic
and consular representatives abroad
probably never heard of Nicolo Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Few
Americans, in fact, have ever heard
of these men. Yet in France a rec
ognized political party is demanding
their release and crack Drained
Frenchmen are trying to intimidate
the Washington government into in
terfering in a matter with which
they ought to know it has nothing
to do.
The idea Of the International Com
munists seems to be that a Red
brother Is Red brother, wherever he
happens to be, and must be protected,
whatever he does. They do not re-
alize that in this country the states
have their own criminal law courts.
The only Americans they are inter-
ested in are Communists like them
selves who get into trouble with our
New-York tribune., 1921-10-21

laws, 1t seems necessary to consider
a social offense which is essentially
new, and which because of its non
occurrence formerly went unnoticed.
This offense is a plain intent, not to
reform or improve the social organ
ism of which all of necessity are
members, but to destroy it altogether.
A new variety Of treason cunningly
seeks to use existing laws to over
throw all law. Such outlawry is
qualitatively different from the old,
and existing statutes are little fitted
to grapple with it effectively.
The definition Of treason needs to
be recast. The present definition as
sumes that there is no danger of any
one doing that which many now do.
And accompanying this redefinition
is need of statutes based on the prin-
ciple that traitors to the human race
shall be excluded from all the bcne-
fits of that peaceful social coonera-
tion against which they wage funda-
mental war.

A Bill to Pass

1t Is about time that the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries gave over holding hear
lngs on the Edmonds transport bill
and put it on passage. This meas
ure has been hanging fire ever since
last spring, for no other apparent
reason than to afford Representa-
tives like Mr.. Rufus Hardy, Of
Texas, an opportunity of publicly
recording what they do not know
about the national shipping problem.
The Edmonds bill, as an amend
ment to the merchant marine act,
would authorize the Shipping Board
to eliminate the army, navy and Ma
rine Corps transport systems as
competitors of on-government ves-
sells and lines and, in addition, limit
the competitive activities of the
Panama Steamship Company. In so
far as shipping is concerned it's
adoption would be long step to-
ward the goal of the country to
have less government in business
and more business in government.
Only army and navy bureaucrats
who cannot bear to contemplate
giving up the ships they have SO
long controlled and those who are
actuated by partisan motives oppose
the bill.
The country should understand
that, IL it expects not to find itself
bereft of ships again as it was In
1914, it must make it possible
for American merchantmen to live.
And a legitimate source of liveli-
hood lies in the business that gov
ernment transports have been carry
ing on too long at the expense Of
privately owned Yankee shipping.

Defiance Of Government
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Once moro the unions of rail
way employees threaten to tie up all
railway traffic. This would be calam-
ity as great as war, If they could do
what they plan to do. They defy the
majority and the government. And this
to overturn the decision Of the Labor
Board, the duly established tribunal,
which decided against the labor unions
after patient hearing and ordered a
1919 per cent reduction in the extraya-
CANT wages of war time.
Is it not about time this organized
minority should be shown clearly that
the majority of the people cannot
be frightened or bluffed? Let them
strike IL they darel 1t is high time
they were taught the value of modera-
tlon and respect for the rights of their
FELLOW citizens, as we'll as obedience
to the laws of the United States.
If the authorities will simply do
their duty and protect those who wish
to work and punish severely those who
attempt violence to persons or property
the strike will collapse in short order.

At the "Chapon Fin" in Bordeaux,
or at the Restaurant of the Snail
(rFscargot) in Paris, or in many
other restaurants in France, may be
had, travellers tell us, a dish called
"Moules Marinieres." 1t is de-
scribed as succulent dish, rich in
flavor and delicious to the taste, COM
posed of mussels stewed in their own
juice and favored with butter, SAT-
from, paprika and touch of garlic
The mussels are eaten one by one
out of their shells, much as are
steamed CLAIMS, and the broth is
soaked up with bread. Of the white
wine it is not perhaps proper to
speak.
So popular is this dish that mus
sells are cultivated on the French
coast just as are oysters. They can
be planted, and readily attach them
selves to specially prepared wicker

The Missing F'ive-Cent Fare

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In re Mr.. Hylan's tive-cent fare.
/ am just one of "the people" and have
to use the streetcars very often.
am somewhat lame, and as neither the
city nor the church provides me with
an automobile (nor even a linen duster)
l must use the cars.
/ live on Twentieth Street, between
Eighth and Ninth avenues. The cars
on these lines do not issue transfers.
My duties call me very often to the
neighborhood of Twenty eighth Street
and Sixth Avenue-a distance of scarce
ly mile. The round trip costs me
"a cents.
| must also go frequently to Eigh-
tieth Street and Second Avenue. That
round trip costs me 80 cents.
Both of these round trips formerly
cost 10 cents.

we have tive-cent fare?

The Strike Menace
Public Opinion Asserts Itself Against Dctahon bu an
Organized Minorifu

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / think there should be an ex-
preston of opinion from the public
on the proposed railroad strike.
If it is the opinion Of the public at
large that union labor operating the
railroads is privileged class which
ought not to submit to the general
readjustment participated in by all
other classes Of citizens, then the
unions should know that at once, and
know that their threat to strike is ap-
proved by public opinion. If union
labor believes that tho government
control of railroads, as recently illus
trated, is about all that the public
ought to expect, and that it is in favor
OF return to such conditions of serv-
ice, then such policy ought to be
approved or condemned by the paying
public.
If business men are willing to give
up few weeks of their time now to
break the strike, or break the rail-
roads, they ought to express their opin-
ions and volunteer their services.

Group Aggression
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In 1916 the railroad labor un-
ions coerced Congress and President
Wilson by the threat of a strike. This
surrender and betrayal of the people
caused the union leaders to feel that
they were above the government and
could dictate to it. This is class con-
sciousness or group arrogance to the
nth power. Now the unions again
threaten to tie up the country's trans
portation and to club the American
people into submission. Are we to
submit? Have we grown SO fiabby in
our fondness for the leshpots Of in
glorious ease that we will submit? I
do not believe it.
We fought the Germans to resist ag-
gression. Shall we tolerate the ag-
gression Of group within the coun-
try? If we do, it Is substantially
payment of tribute to buy temporary
comfort. If our government will stand
firm, make no compromise and call on
the country for support, this impudent
bluff will be called. Remember the po-
lice strike Of Boston and the fate of
the cutters. The writing is on the
wall r. S. GOODMAN.

Submerged Knickerbockers

The apparent confusion in the
matter of Dutch representation at
the "America's Making" pageant
speaks less we'll for the pride in the
cold country" of the Knickerbockers
than it does for their Americaniza-
ton.
The truth Of the matter is that
most of the old Dutch families i'm
New York have been out of touch
with Holland for so many genera
tions that they have little knowledge
Of "the old country" and think Of
their ancestors rather as early
Americans than as Dutchmen. Such
families as the Stuyvesants, Van
Rensselaers, Schuylers and Van
Cortlandts have been much more
closely identified with the life of
early America than with anything
in Holland, and their pride Of fam
lily is not so much on account of
their Dutch origin as on account of
their early American origin.
This is point frequently over
looked by descendants of recent i'm
migrants. They do not see that the
ties Of the Knickerbockers, just as
the ties of the early New England
ers and Southerners, are not with
any European countries, but with Co.
lonial America. Where the so-called
"German-Americans'' or "Irish-
Americans" are interested in the
"old country" the descendants of the
old American stock are interested in
the perpetuation of the best that
was in early America.
The Dutch discovered and founded
New York. They played an impor-
tant part in the life of early Amer
lea. For this reason, if for none
other, they should have at the COM
ing pageant proper representation
showing the contribution Of the
Dutch to the upbuilding Of the ma
ton. If the Greeks can show
sponges, surely the Dutch can piece
together a reproduction Of house
in New Amsterdam.

Mime. Gadski' $ Concert

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We understand that the Amer
lean Legion and various other patriotic
societies feel concerned over a concert
announced to be given by Nine. Gadski
at an early date with the assistance of
the Philharmonic Orchestra, of which
Josef Stransky is the leader. We
wish to recall the fact that Nine. Cad
ski gave an entertainment in 1915 on
the night of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania at which she toasted those who
had committed that act. We agree
with those societies who deprecate the
desirability of any countenancing of
the proposed concert by Americans.

New-York tribune., 1921-10-21

In granting the writ of mandamus
spplied for to compel the Board of
Elections to put the names of Ben
janin Gitlow and Harry Winetsky
on the official ballot as candidates by
petition for Mayor and President of
the Board Of Aldermen, Justice Null
Ian says:
~ am Of the opinion that the 4.
Board Of Elections was. under the de-
cisions settling the boards functions,
wholly without power to reject the
amended certificate. It is shocking
and absurd that these candidates
should be permitted to have their
names printed on the official ballots,
but, In the present state of the law,
our courts seem to be powerless to
prevent such an outrage upon de-
cency. Let the writ issue"
, Gitlow and Winetsl1y are row in
Sing Sing as duly convicted anar-
chists. A group of communists, an
archists and extreme radicals re-
Gently organized what is styled the
Workers League" and filed petit
tion placing their penitentiary COM
rades in nomination When the
Board of Elections refused to recog-
nized the petition the writ of man
damus was applied for, which the
court feels constrained to issue.
There is strong probability that the
Appellate Division will hold, as did
the lower court, that the law does
not permit the exercise Of discre-
tion.
This case, like that of Debs last
faQ, raises question which it would
seem the lawmakers and no one else
can settle. Is the official ballot to
become a roster of convicted GRIM
inals? Is the public to insult itself,
as it were, in this manner?
The writer's of the election laws
took no account of the possibility of
Sucn an ApuSe. A criminal, because
of his physical detention, could not
serve, and, second, could not serve
because conviction of felony works
forfeiture of citizenship and of right
tc hold Office But in our population
are those who are not restrained by
either common sense or decency. In
time, if the law is not amended,
doubtless the advocates of free burg
larry will have printed on the ballot
at public expense the names of the
most conspicuous practitioners of
their craft, even as the upholders of
free assassination now enjoy a sim
liar privilege.
In the election laws. as in other
