The Unemployed
(From the New York Tribune.)

The report of the Department Of
Labor that in August a decrease in
unemployment occurred is calcu-
lated to undo some of the harm
flowing from another set of figures
recently published by the depart
ment.
It will be recalled that this depart
ment mentioned the total 5.750.000
in it's computation. The report
pointed out that this estimate was
based merely on an examination OF
the books of approximately a thou
sand large concerns, and that ii did
not necessarily follow that the per-
centage of decrease applied in the
whole country. And It also pointed
out that no account was taken of the
fact that many laid off had found
other employment. These things
and others suggested that the esti-
mate was probably worthless. But
the damage was done. The exag-
gerauon was afoot.
From one end OF the country to
the other has swept the statement
that the official estimate is that the
unemployed number nearly 6,O0O,-
0O0 Every apostle OF discomfort is
exploiting It. II is the war cry OF
all who had some pet theory to sell.
Those are loudly vocal who have so
little sympathy with the troubles OF
the public that they would make
them worse. A reckless exaggeration
is manning the optimism which must

That normal conditions have not

course, patent. The readjustment of

from their homes. This movement

is reported from an old-fashioned

In the Massachusetts, case the pris-

it was safe to assume that the courts
would deal with them according to
their deserts. But the impatient
mob wanted vengeance, not justice,

own primitive and savage notions of
right.

NO WASTE OF WORDS.

From the Providence Journal
A departure from the usual way Of
dealing with requests for bigger
wages was made by the presidents Of
Eastern railroads who were asked
by the Representatives of FIVE unions
to restore the wartime scale re-
duced by the labor board and to drop
all plans for further decreases and
for cutting extravagant payments
for overtime; the demand was sim
ply refused, and no explanation was
offered.
The conciseness of the response is
in striking contrast to the lengthy
explanations generally accompany
ing replies to organizations of en-
ployes; there is not possibility of a
Misunderstanding of the position of
the railroad presidents. and a public
weary of high charges in freight
and passenger departments is in
sympathy with the laconic answer in
the negative.
The reduction of twelve per cent.
ordered by the labor board leaves
railroad wages still above a normal
level. The working rules approved
by the Government have not been
modified and in large measure are
responsible for the high rates of
which there is general complaint.
Inflated prices must be punctured,
for as long as the railroads are
forced to pay abnormal wages and
the cost Of systematic loafing the
price Of transportation cannot be
lowered. In saying mo" the presi-
dents said enough, so unreasonable
was the demand OF the men.
Now It is in order for the labor
board to do something toward the
abolition OF practices which take
millions from shippers and passen-
gers and give no equivalent. The
facts are not in dispute; decisions
that viii put an end to abuses are
very much wanted by the country.
THE MOB SPIRIT AND THE LAW
From the Scranton Republican.
Recent dispatches from various
parts of the United States indicate
an increasing tendency to resort to
mob law for the purpose of wreak-
ing summary vengeance on a pris-
oner who is either awaiting trial OF
under sentence OF death for some
serious crime.
This manifestation OF a lawles'
spirit is not confined to any specia
section of the country. It has as,
serted itself of late in communities
long noted for the law-abidinl
character of their people. and it Il
therefore all the more to be repre-
hended. One of the latest instances
