~ My labor will create values in Germany
" The indication that the striking rail work
ers apparently do not realize this fact has been
descantcd upon by many economic authorities
What though their pay may be raised to fabulous
sums in the nigh-worthlcss paper Of the former
empire? 1t will enable them to purchase nothing
il industrial disturbances rob the nation OF its
productivity in serious measure
OF some aspects of the strike, the New York
Herald says:
ITO the rank and file OF the German popula-
ton the railroad strike may have as a sur
prise but the industrial and financial leaders had
known for months that the pursuit OF the paper
money phantom would some day end in abrupt dis
iusonment when the time came to halt imitation
The German railroad employees demanded pay
increases ranging from 4s per cent to IS per cent
increases which would entail the issuance of the adj
ditonai monumental sum Of soooo,oooooo paper
marks at the minimum. This would have added
further to the budget deficit, now amounting to
225,ooo 100000 marks.
Herr Deutsche prominent hnancer of Ger
many recently compiled estimates Is2 companies
engaged in wide variety of industries showing
that the food of paper money had been absorbed
almost entirely by increased wages In 1913 of the
total sum distributed to capital and labor Is per
cent allotted to capital and 81 per labor
In the after war period capital has participated to
TIC CAUGHT OI only cent ana LABOR 90 per cent
in this distribution.
Under ordinary circumstances these figures
might indicate simply changed distribution of
wealth. But with the paper money presses work
ing overtime the figures mean nothing except dis
tributon of deprecated shnplasters. Labor is get
ting ten times many paper counters as it received
before the war, but in actual gold value it is recev
ing only half much
The danger against which Herr Dcutsche
warns is not that capital may eventually be frozen
out entirely but that labor may become imbued with
the belief tbat the output of paper money actually
represents wealth anything else worth while.
"Thc railroad apparently believe that the
increase they asked, and which could be paid only
out of the proceeds of renewed imitation, would
bring better conditions to them. But what could
bring better conditions to them in their weller of
all but worthless paper money would be only less
paper money in their pay envelopes and in the
country"

Now 'fMotorize" Headquarters.

WV ERE it not so serious the present lack of
w adequate automobile facilities for police
headquarters would be ludicrous. The
man in blue must be the physical superior of nine
out of ten men, he is armed with the latest model
revolver automatic pistol he is fit for possible
desperate emergencies. But he-and in particular
his plain-cothes confrcre in the Central Bureaus
IN no position to give chase to fugitive bootegger
murderer window crashcr.
Several weeks ago the city was thrown into
establishment when the poor old machine from
headquarters managed to run down fast motor
laden with liquor. Truly a marvellous feat for that
Carbon-chokcd anachronism, and that never
would have been comprised had not the quarry
smashed into truck and wrecked itself. Going
back somewhat further, recall high-geared
roadster that carly morning made sport of
patrolmen and headquarters detectives by racing
through the downtown streets, its occupants eering
the futile pursuit. In this instance the lawbrcakers
conveyance disabled itself and was towcd in.
Such condition is a burIcsque upon proper
policing. Every effort is being made to motorize
the. fire department. throughout and equipment
constantly is supplanting old. Yet the other pub
lie Safety branch month after month goes along
depending upon luck. and the antiquated hcadquar-
tiers machines groan protcstngly upon their nightly
rounds
What headquarters should have is a feet Of
machines Of which at least two should be dcmi-
racing models. geared high and capable OF seventy
miles hour when called upon. The motor corps
has lost its scmioficia status, and doubtless many
OF It's members would find a struggle between
their civic pride and their quite natural feeling of
being hurt should they be called upon to place
themselves and their cars at the departments dis
posal Furthermore, the idea of a vigilance COM
Hittee in indefinite existence is less of a
reflection upon the city. 1t smacks of charity and
it implies a constant menace OF lawlessness.
If headquarters is granted the machines it
should have, the hue and cry of need will be hushed
and really pressing problem solved. The in
creased capacity of the Central Bureau force APP
prehend criminals and prevent commission of
crimes would show in the public press and once and
for all vindcate the wisdom of appropriation for
such equipment-an appropriation, by the way,
which should not run more than 100000 $4,000
for the initial outlay and years upkeep.
