OUTSIDERS AS ARBITRAToRS

TNHE laughter of some members of the
i Allied Supreme Council on hearing that
the troublesome SileS!an question was to be
referred to the League of Nations seems to
have been premature. The alleged joke was
based upon the presumption that FrenChmen
and Englishmen, who have been unable to
agree outside the League, would find their
substitutes within the organization equally
at variance.
But tils nirthful theory has not been
supported by facts. 1t so happens that
representatives Of the principal Allied and
Associated Powers will not decide the
Silesap case for the League. With a wisdom
that cannot be too highly commended, It has
been ruled that delegates from the lesser
and rotating nations of the League Council
shall be intrusted with the question.
These nations are Spain, Brazil, China
and Belgium With the possible exception
of the last, which is sympathetically pro-
French, none of these countries is sclfshly
interested In the fate of Silesia.
There is, of course, always the chance
that the decision will be found unacceptable
to the Powers associated in guiding the
destines of Europe. But the moral effect
OF verdict by outsiders can hardly fail to
stimulate the cause of justice.
Moreover, the respect which the League
must win to justify itself has been materially
enhanced by the settlement Of the Polish
Lithuanian dispute over Wilma. This Is an
encouraging sequel to the disposition of the
Aand Islands case, which has removed a
source of discord between Sweden and Fin

SHAW TO HIS FRIENDS

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW'S acute
" faculty for irritating his friends is
tartly expressed in his unfavorable reply to
an invitation to address the Chicago Fed
Grafton Of Labor on it's Labor Day picnic
His presumptive hosts are arraigned as
biased and ignorant and are urged to ac-
quaint themselves with all sides of the prob
lens before attempting to solve them for
their own benefit.
This is a large order especially since Mr..
Shaw advises that misunderstanding be-
tween what he calls "the existing governing
classes and labor are only to be swept
away by lending attentive ears to the most
vehement spokesmen for the most dsparate
programs.
Kerensky, Lenine, "a capable Czarist" ;
Ramsay Macdonald, Sir Donald d. Mac
lean and Marshal Foch are suggested az
suitable beacOns of enlightenment of indus
trial conditions in Europe.
OF course, Mr.. Shaw is aware that cham
pions of such diverse causes could never be
induced to speak from the same platform
and, Of course, he knows that neither labor
nor capital, the governing classes. the
middle classes the workers, the idlers. the
scientists, the artists, nor that inchoate
group hazily labeled the general public
are capable of calmly appraising all sides OF
an issue and from that performance deducine

HOW 1T BEGAN

yxIHAT is the row in West Virginia about?
wv For what purpose did the soft coal
miners mobilize and march and what prin.

works thrown up against them? 1t isn't
easy to find an answer to such queries as
these In the news telegraphed from the seat
Of the disturbance, confused as it is by the
larger details of the immediate trouble.
The Guyan Valley, for which the armed
miners headed, is one OF the richest BIZ
luminous areas in the world. 1t is pretty
generally admitted the word of the operators
has been the ultimate law in that general
region. The United Mine Workers repre-

entered the valley they were driven out
They continued to return. Don Chain, the
Sheriff who has been acting as the leader
of the opposition forces in the present
crisis, always met them with a force Of
Deputy Sheriffs. Later, as the trouble
grew-it began in June, 1920-Chafn was
re-enforced by a small army Of private de-
tectives brought from New York.
When the Mingo strike was at its height
the miners themselves, or their leaders de :

organizers tried again, but they were hus-
tied out Of the mining villages by the mine
guards and some of them were badly man
handled. When news of this final failure

A PRIZE-FIGHT REPORT

THE degree to which the spirit of pro-
j fessional sport has been degraded by
the cold blooded exploitation of dollar
hunters was amazingly apparent at Shibe
Park the other evening. when near fighters
walked around each other in a ring and
dabbed spiritlessly at one another in the
presence of a gloomy and suspicious audi
ence. The two most widely advertised
~bexers refused to fight. There wasn't money
enough available for them. They put on
their checked suits and departed. The pro-
moters promised to return the money
paid for admission by the disappointed spec
tators. But who can return a wasted
evening?
The sports reporters wrote disgustedy

writer's could say as much in a column as

THIS FUNNY WORLD

nIESEL engines are the largest motors of
- the internal combustion type. The
Germans perfected them and still appear
to have partial monopoly of the technique
and skill required for their successful pro-
ductiOn. The German Diesel motor is the
best engine for submarines Indeed. sue
ccssful submarines would be almost i'm.
possible without it.
Very recently the japanese placed a
81, 900, 900 order with the German firm that
spccializes in Diesel engines. Now the
Government of the United States has coun
tered with similar order delivered to the
same firm. So it goes in the naval compe-
titiOn. If the coming conference at Wash
ington cannot find way out Of the night
mare we may find ourselves in the presence
Of strange spectacle. We may see the
war industries of beaten Germany revived
and rehabilitated by the victorious but un-
fortunate Allies and their associated
Powers. w

make for action. That is one Of The reasons
why Mr.. Shaw, to accept his own estimate
of his own vision, Is the most inveterate OF
critics and one of the least conspicuous of
practical reformers.
Whatever he has actually accomplished
in the propagation of Fabian doctrines In
narrow field of local politics at home, in
esthetic affairs and in the drama has been
primarily due to most resplendent and
exhilarating one -sidedness.
The war; the contradictory phases Of which
Shaw presumed to grasp, led to his enforced
refuge into position Of almost utter fu-
tility. An Irishman eager to denounce
every British blunder regarding his home
land, his footlight discussion of the problem
of his compatriots proved an eloquent de-
fensc of some Of the blindest Of English
virtues.
Labor may be advised not to resent his
recent charges. On the other hand, IL
capital and militarism should think that they
have won new champion, let them invite
Mr.. Shaw to speak before the British Board
OF Trade and see what happens.
He is unquestionably a past master at
seeing things as they ideally ought to be.
Vision of that sort Is enough to enrage
virtually all elements of the social structure.

THE PoWER-PLANT ARGUMENT

VTHHE Mayors signature upon the ordi-
i nance authorizing the acquisition by
the city of power houses for the Frankford
elevated located at Cumberland street and
Kensington avenue and Arrott and Griscom
streets furnishes the municipality with an
excellent bargaining asset in transit affairs.
The intimation however, that this Is
step toward the operation of the Frankford
L by the city should be received with eau
tion. The suggestion of a connection with
the proposed Woodland avenue high power
line may be alluring but fancy plays a
potent role in the picture. II is dishearten-
ing to consider the operation Of the existing
line to Frankford as dependent upon an
enterprise that may not even be begun for
years.
The public Is not now and has never been
the least interested in. the ethics Of the
dispute between the city and the P R. T.
The average citizen is averse to high fares
and Is heartily in favor of the operation
as soon as possible of the virtually COM
pleted elevated line to the northeast. That
is about the extent of his opinions upon the
whole vexatious subject.
Il the possession by the municipality of
the two new power plants eXpedites the
opening of the road. his retrospective ap-
proval of the ordinance is assured. 1t is
the deadlock over lease concerning an
existing but ifeless public Improvement that
makes the whole community look foolish.
Perhaps the power house argument may
give a new and earnestly desired fruitful
ness to the negotiations between the city
and the transit company, without putting the
former In too unfavorable position. The
Croix de Guerre with palms is hardly enough
for such an instrument of progress.

NEW YORK BONUSES UPSET

TT,HE decision of the highest court in New
- York upsctting the results of the sol
dier- bonus referendum deals with the method
adopted for raising the money and not with
the right of the State TO pay a bonus
The question of issuing $40 900 600 in
bonds to raise money for the bonus was
submitted to the voters and approved by
them BY a majority Of TOO, 600. The Court
- Appeals rules that as the Constitution
forbids the use of the credit OF the State
save for the payment of obligations of the
state, and that as the payment of bonus
is Federal and not State obligation. no
bonds may be issued for this purpose. The
Court admits that the Legislature has the
