L he Strike Veto
The railroad unions Which have
ordered nationwide strike are try
ins to impose a veto on economic re-
adjustment. They believe that they
hold club over the rest of the com
munity through their power to tie
up transportation, wholly or par
tally. In support Of their own mar
row group interest they are going to
declare war on all other groups Of
workers, on f4rmers and other pro
ducers, on manufacturers and ship
pers, and on the great mass Of con-
sumers.
The strike IS a piece Of selfish
class aggression. War wage scales
have been abandoned in practically
every other industry. The railroad
unions are bent on maintaining
wage imitation at the war peak. IN
1916, before President Wilson forced
through the Adamson law, the an
nual labor bin Of the carriers was
$1,468,000,000. The Adamson law
Increased it to $1,739, 100000. The
FEDERAL railroad administration
pushed it up in 1918 to s2.613, ,000,-
900 and in 1919 to S2,843,000,0o
The Railroad Labor Board raised it
again in 1920 to $3,699, 100000. IF
the increased scale Of 1920 had been
in effect during the whole of that
year the 1920 wage account would
have totaled So .oS0,ONO,00O Since
1915 the labor cost Of railroad oper-
alton has Increased 151 per cent.
Since 1917 it has increased 115 per
cent, or, if the last sale had covered
the full year in 1920. 1913 per cent.
The unions are striking against
the recent cut in wages authorized
by the Railroad Labor Board. They
are thus challenging the Esch- Cum
Minis lew, whi-h gave them a special
protection as to wage status by pro-
viding that III controversies over
wages or working rules should be re-
ferred TO Federal tribunal repre-
s.nting the rcads, tho workers. and
the public The Cummins act rs the
Senate passed it contained anti
strike provisions. These were elinli-
mated in the conference with the
House.
A strike against decision by the
Labor Board. though not prohibited
by the statute. amounts 70 a declara-
ton by the unions that hey re
nounce its protection, inasmuch as
they will accept from it no judg-
ments which they consider unfavor-
able.
The public has primary interest
in the operation Of the carriers. That
interest has been emphasized again
and again in Federal legislation
Continuity Of service is essential
ander the scheme Of government
regulation which has been estab
hshed. It must be guaranteed
Otherwise one Of the main objects OF
regulation is defeated
The unions stand ready to defs

"Panem ct circenses"-Bread and
Big Show--was the ancient formula
adopted by young Mr.. Banneker to
realize his aspirations to be useful,
though prosperous, in metropolitan
journalism. So, indeed, is it Samuel
Hopkins Adams's recipe for similar re-
suits in Success" good and exciting
book about Mr.. Banneker and his ex-
periences with woman and the news
papers.
Mr.. Banneker. as editor Of "The New
York Patriot" sought to beguile the
restless and unthinking multitude with
a combination of nourishing editorials
and spicy news sensations. He lured
the boneheads to his columns with such
spectacular bait as "Murdcrer Dabbles
Name in Bloody Print" or "Finan-
cier Resigns After Sprightly Scene at
Long Beach, and, getting them there,
he improved them with -digested
double column essays entitled: "Why
Has the Ornithorhyncus Got Beak ?"
or 1.-THE Sardine Is Dead; Therefore
More Comfortable Than You, Mr.
Strap-Hangcr."
Mr.. Adams's way with fiction is as
efficacious, if not so obvious, and he
beckons you to perusal Of Success"
with attractive gestures Of romance
and adventure. Arriving in its pages
you find yourself joining him in
spirited study Of one kind of modern
journalism. He shows it to you ex-
plicitly from the rocco parapets of
its ideals, through devious passage
ways TO its unwholesome cellars. For
so passionate a crusader in behalf of
absolute perfection in journalism; for
one so impatient with the least infrac-
ton Of its holiest ethics, Mr..
Adams in "Success' is crafty
ingly forbearing. A few months
ago l heard him in argument with
ono of the most successful and most
eXpedient of the current newspaper
makers. In his earlier days this jour
nalist had written play in which the
hero thereof, a managing editor, had
sent the father of the woman ho loved
to jail for grating. The journalist
regretted having composed this drama,
and said that if he had it to do over
again he would cause his hero to dis
regard his duty to the public and to
make his sweetheart happy by suppress
ing the news of her parents i'm
probity. Mr.. Adams in the ensuing
controversy argued with great heat
that no possible circumstances couN
Justify an editor in keeping the father
Of his ladylovc out of Jail if he be
longed there.
But in Success" Mr.. Adams seems
to recognize and appreciate the fact
that it is as difficult to be faultless
in journalism as it is in banking, mer-
chandizing, or in tilling the soil. Even
Ho who made the earth in six DAYS
, erred, it is said, to the extent that lie
repented; and Mr.. Adams appears to
have discovered that newspaper men.
as we'll as others, are I'D against thc
inevitable weakness of their fellows. So
Banneker in Success" while possess
ing most of tho attributes Of nobility,
succumbed at times to lfe's Irresistible
irregularities, and his journal became
at once u benson and menace.

An Eye on the Tally Sheet
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir The returns from the election
districts in the Borough of Manhattan
last November are said to have been
the worst in the memory of the Oldest
member Of the Board of County Can
vassers and the returns in other bor-
cuGhs were no better.
The law explicitly declares that each
voter as announced shall be tailed in
Black ink upon the official tally sheet.
The courts have declared the official
tally sheet to be primary evidence Of
the count. Yet preliminary TALES are
frequently, if not generally, made with
lead pencils on loose paper and later
copied upon the official tally sheets.
The statutory method is net only the
roper, but the easiest method. To
adopt any other is an abuse against
which any citizen present at the can
Vass of ballots may protest. If the
protest be disregarded the policeman
on duty may be requested to arrest the
Offenders; If he refuse, the citizen pro-
testing may make the arrest and de-
mLnd that the policeman take the
prisoner before magistrate; If he re-
fuse to do so, application for a warrant
OF arrest may be made to a magistrate
on tho following day. y.

Coast Defense Weapons

proving grounds. The total cost Of
this gun, with its mount and con-
crete enlplacement, will be approxi-
mately 100000. With powder
charge Of eight hundred pounds it
will throw a shell weighing 1900
pounds to maximum distance of
thirty-fve miles.
Admitting the great power Of this
gun, it is important to consider its
limitations as a factor in coast de-
fense-thc only use to which it can
be put.
The gun can at most protect the
coast to a distance of but thirty-fve
miles. Even at that range and at
shorter range it could not hit a tar
get at night, and in the daytime sell
dom, unless aided by airplanes or air.
ships to note and signal the fall Of
the shell. The chances of hitting a
ship or fleet would be very small.
And how many Of these 100000
guns would be needed to give half
time protection" to the coasts of the
United States, from PASSPORT, Me-,
to Galveston, Tex, and from Puget
Sound to San Diego? The number
would be large and the cost would be
fabulous.
At the same proving ground the
army tested another coast defense
weapon An airplane, from a height
Of 4,500 feet, dropped 4,0O0-pound
bomb containing 2,100 pounds Of
high explosive. 1t dug cellar 25
feet deep and Is feet in diameter. It
would have destroyed the great 16-
inch gun with its emplacement and
It's crew. A few such bombs will
wreck any fort on our coast.
Now consider the military and eco
nomic advantages of the airplane
ard it's bomb in comparison with the
gun. Ten or twelve bombing planes
cen be built for the price of one
SaoO,OO0 gun. All Of these planes
and as many more as we may wish
to bUild--can be concentrated at a
few hours notice at any threatened
point on the Atlantic OF Pacific coast.
IN other words, the movable planes
With their BOMBS can utilize the vital
military principle Of concentration
upon an enemy at any point on our
thousands of miles Of coast, while
tho imnovablo gun is restricted to
thirty-fve miles.
The Iowa experiment showed that
few planes can discover a hostile
fleet within an area Of 10000 square
miles IN two hours. The Ostfries-
land experiment showed that bombs
Of 1000 and 1000 pounds can sink
any ship IN existence. The Joint
Army and Navy Board has officially
admitted that a 4,00O-pound bomb
can sink any future ship that con-
struccors can build. The Alabama
experiment showed that airplanes
can attack and destroy the ships of
q feet at night as we'll as by dav.
AND The airplane can easily attack a
ship distant one hundred miles from
the ccast
We must choose which Of these
weapons we shall chiefly rely on
immovable guns costing hundreds of
millions, giving little protection, or
movable air forces costing much less,
which protect the whole coast and
commend the sea to a distance Of
ono hundred miles from the coast
line.
1t is the duty of army and naval
fice1s promptly to recognize the
passing of old weapons and the ad-
vent OF new ones. They must mod
ernizc their minds! The intelligent
layman-thc taxpayer-is very much
interested. lie believes in protec-
tion, but he also believes in the max
mum protection in return for the
