WE'VE HAD WAR ENOUGH

A STRIKE is an attempt to get By force
"A what cannot be secured by peaceful
means,
What justification It has must oc the
justification for the use Of force.
There may be no violence, but under such
circumstances a strike II similar to a block
ade intended 10 starve out an enemy.
However it may be cooked at, Il strike ~
war in one form or another.
And a lockout is also war. 1t is an effort
to starve an opponent into submission.
1t seems TO most Of US that Wa have had
enough of war in recent years, and that
there ought to be fair mindcdncss and intel
ligrnce enough to settle industrial disputes
at least by processes Of arbitration.
The Railroad Labor Board, created by
Congress, Is the industrial Hague tribunal
for this country. 1t mas authority to secure
all the evidence necessary TO forming 4 Just
conclusion and to making fair award.
Its award on the question Of wages was
made last July. The men affected by the
award have announced that at the end Of
this month they will begin a hght for the
rate of wages which prevailed before the
award.
Whether the rate Of wages fixed by the
Labor Board Is fair or not we do not know.

OLD HOUSES

IF THERE were to be in this city a move
i ment like that which Miss Anne Morgan
started in New York when she led migra
ton Of the very rich away from Fifth avenue
20 East Side regions from which the wealthy
departed half a century ago, leaving beau
tlful old houses behind them, innumerable
examples Of the best American architecture
would be saved.
In the crowded areas south of Market
street hundreds Of fine old residential build
ings may still be found. Under the dust and
CRIME of misuse and overcrOwdng they still
retain much of fine workmanship and even
the air of spaciousncss that belonged TO more
Ieisurely times.
There are old houses in the downtown Sec
tlon that, with their red brick, their white
marble and their old fashioned fnnlights,
are as reminiscent Of old Philadelphia as old
books might be. And they have an inherent
charm which even the best builders of today
can only initiate.

FRANKFORT - PROSPECTS

THE Mayors request for the passage Of an
l. ordinance authorizing the construction
of an elevated railroad line on Front street
from the terminus Of the Frankford line at
Arch street to Market street will give the
City Council an opportunity 10 show how
great interest it has in getting the Frank
ford line in operation.
The present purpose Of the Mayor and the
Director Of City Transit is 70 operate the
Frankford elevated rs IN independent line
as soon as It can be equipped. 1t has not
been possible to make Il satisfactory lease
with the Rapid Transit Company and the
prospect for such lease in the immediate
future is not brilliant. But the city has
fifteen million dollars invested in a high
speed line which will reduce the running
time from Frankford TO Market street to
twenty minutes or less than one half OF the
time now required by the surface lines, and
it ought to be giving the people the benefit
Of that investment.
The elevated line will touch Market street
within walking distance of the business cen
ter of the city. 1t will undoubtedly be
patronized by tens Of thousands Of riders
every day as soon as the trains begin to run.
The riders will not only be residents of
Frankford coming to business, but they will
be residents of other parts of the city as
well as residents Of New Jersey whose bust
ness takes them to the district penetrated
by the new line. Many business men are
now waiting with such patience as they can
muster for the opening of the line so that
they may use It morning and night.
Its operation as an independent line is
not ideal. 1t ought to be connected with the
Market street subway, so that there can be
through travel from Sixty ninth street to
the terminal in Frsnkford and back again.
The surest way to hasten It's operation in
this manner is for the city to begin to
operate it on its own account.
City Council ought to pass the Mayors
ordinance without delay, go that the line
may be extended to Market street by the
time the powerhouse now building Is COM
nleted

A BELATED BOON FOR CAMDEN

60 FAR as its obligations to the City of
~ Camden are concerned, the Reading
Railway system seems to have given itself
q long overdue slap on the back. Announce
ment is made that the mockery Of a ferry
house and railroad terminal at Kaighns Point
is at last to give way to a handsome modern
structure worthy OF traffic requirements.
Since the fire which destroyed the then
decrepit station five years ago, n still moro
ramshackle makeshift has astonishingly
survived. Neither architecturally nor from
the standpoint Of service was the structure"
worthy of a town in the Klondke.
Camden is to be congratulated on the ulti-
mate success of It's persistent campaign for
this Improvement The new building is to
cost more than $1,000 900, and Is expected
70 meet the full requirements Of the inter-
state and terminal business.
Philadelphia will share in the gain, for
the Delaware Bridge is unlikely to aflict the
Kaighns Point traffic with destructive COM
petition. There must be some supplemental
ferrying across the river until at least two
or three additional bridges are built
The first great span between the two cities
is inevitably only beginning. The story OF
Brooklyn is in point and worth rcmem-
bering.

the nine months ended September 80 was
the lowest in the citys hstory-12. 50 per

At no time between the years 1000 and

parisons for this year are not available, but
It is hardly likely that the Philadelphia
record will be equaled in the country at large.
The local decrease Is attributed to mild
weather, improved social agencies and more
