Union Labor Standards.
The Principle of the Common Wage
Disregards Quality Of Work.

To THE New York HERALD: The bold
position taken by President Harding
upon the labor question: ought TO arouse
every right thinking citizen and make
him willing to do everything in his
power to aid him. And the best thing
citizens can do is to make him feel that
the intelligence of the country is behind
him; that there is a public opinion upon
which he may depend.
But the people will not be aroused
until they are brought face to face with
what unionism stands for to-day. The
right of every man to labor according
to his will should not be confined To
the question OF open shoD only but be
made to apply to the quality Of labor
as well.
The public will not be thoroughly
aroused until it realizes that there has
been built up within our body polite a
system of class preference not only an
tagonistic to the spirit of the whole but
actively hostile 20 any effort to bring
it in line with practices of honesty
Not alone has unionism assumed the
right to dictate to our supreme Govern
ment: to say what it may do or may
not do to labor as a class but 1t has
taken upon itself the right to infict
punishment its only excuse being the
plea of necessity.
In times of turmoil only the more
violent aspects present themselves Wv
idly to the observer fundamental prin-
ciples are lost sight of. But our Presi-
dent has placed the issue where 1t be-
longs. 1t is no longer question of labor
against capital, but the right to labor
against unionism. But II we are con-
tent to stop at this point we Will have
only half solved our problem.
For unionism has set~up standard
of labor wholly at variance with what
is required Of all other classes. Herein
consists the abnormality of unionism :
1t is their contention that labor is law
unto itself that 1t may base its stand
ard upon the least efficient, and that the
public must accept without protest or
else violence will be used to enforce its
demands, Strikes are violence, for they
destroy.
There is no denying the fact that
unionism to-day is doing what no manu-
facturer dares do-offering ungraded,
unlabeled goods to the public. There Is
law governing such practices. There
is law of weights and measures and
one governing quality. Why then,
should labor alone be permitted to offer
ungraded goods? Or what Is worse,
grade all down to the lowest, asking a
common wage therefor?
Make unionism offer graded labor and
the bigger half of the trouble will be
over. II. b. M.

America Wants Its Disabled Vet
erans Well Cared For.

The complaints that have been
made about the treatment of patients
in the United States Veterans Hos
pital in Kingsbridge road, The Bronx,
may not call for Congressional in
vestigation. but they do demand a
rigid inquiry on the part of the
Veterans Bureau.
The story Of the beating OF the
hopelessly insane veteran SAMSON
has been followed by allegations that
sane men were put into the wards
of the insane for disciplinary pur-
poses. The explanation that these
men were veterans who usually
hovered in the borderland between
sanity and madness and that they
were confined with the permanently
insane only when they became tenn
porarily demented is not satisfactory.
Such treatment might easily result
in deranging beyond hope man who
might otherwise recover. z
The Government should spare no
pains and no expense to take the
finest care of the service men who
really need care. The wounded, the
sick and the insane all deserve the
best of treatment. The country is
paying millions of dollars for their
comfort and it is willing to pay more
millions il necessary in order that
their lives shall be frightened and
their return TO useful activity, If
that be possible, hastened.
The Veterans Bureau must show
that it is jealous of it's reputation.

The Treaty With Panama.

The Presidents letter to the
Speaker of the House transmitted a
copy of letter from Acting Secre-
tary PHILLIPS Of the State Depart
ment, described by the President as
recommendation that the present
treaty arrangement with Panama be
abrogated and new treaty with that
Government negotiated. The text Of
this letter, the substance Of the Act
ing Secretary's recommendation and
the published comments on the pro-
posed diplomatic move are so vague
and jumbled that 1t is difficult to un-
derstand exactly what treaty ar
rangements" are concerned in the
proposal and what it is proposed to
abrogate and what to retain.
For example, although the differ
ences with Panama which have sug-
gested to the State Department the
desirability of revision are of minor
nature, the Presidents call seems to
be for general overhauling Of our
contracts with the Isthmus republic.
These contracts are variously de-
scribed as "the agreement formu-
lated by Secretary of War TAFT in
1904" as 'the present treaty ar
rangement with Panama" as "the
temporary agreement which has gov
erned our relations with the Govern
ment of Panama" and as the Hay
Bunau varilla Treaty of November.
1903, and of its additional protocol
OF December, 1904, known as the
Taft agreement"
There Is hopeless confusion In this
nomenclature. official and otherwise.
1t is highly important that it should
be Strengthened out in order that the
country may know just what 1t is
proposed to do in the way of abro-
cation of old covenants and negotia-
tion of new covenants.
THE New YORK HERALD cannot
readily believe that is now pro-
posed by anybody to overhaul and
revise the Hay-Bunau Varilla Treaty
and to supersede IL with "a new
covenant" The reasons for this
newspapers rejection of that idea
may be stated briefly as follows:
/. President HARDrNG could scarcely
be transmitting to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives a proposal
to abrogate and supersede the Hay
Bunau varilla Treaty, for the House
would have nothing to do with pro-
posal to abrogate and supersede that
covenant.
2 A proposal to revise the subsid-
iary Taft agreement OF 1904, now
incorrectly described as "a protocol
to the Hay-Bunau varilla Treaty"
might conceivably go to the House;
inasmuch as this agreement was rati-
fed in the Panama Canal act. stat
ute, not treaty. But the process OF
revising that agreement would be
legislative repeal or amendment, not
abrogation.
3. II is scarcely conceivable that
Il should be proposed anywhere to
abrogate and supersede the Hay
Bunau varilla Treaty. This cove
nant is fundamental in it's relation
to our control OF the canal and the
Canal Zone. 1t was concluded by the
Roosevelt Administration just after
the establishment OF the Republic OF
Panama. II Is our guaranty OF the
independence Of Panama. 1t is our
title in perpetuity to the use. occu-
patton and control of the Canal Zone
and the outlying islands. IL is our
title to monopoly in the matter Of
interoceanic communication in Pan
anna territory either by canal or rail-
road. For these powers and privi-

The Truth About vardaman's Physical
Condition.

Several months ago upon the .ad-
vice OF Senator Vardaman's dentist
he had his teeth extracted and that
he had been unable to get q perma-
nent set ofteeth that will fit so as
to enabIe him to make public speech
es. that he has recently had teeth
made which seem to be good fit.
but being new be has not gotten us
ed to them sufficiently to enable him
to go on the stump and make speech
es In this campaign with ease and
freedom. The enemies of Senator
Vardaman have started a report to
the effect that his health is such that
it will not permit of him holding the
position to which he aspires. and
this deliberate mIs-statement of the
facts is but another attempt to carry
forward this sneaking falsehood.
Senator Vardaman' health is better
than it has been for years and he is
in every way qualified TO represent
the people of Mississippi in the same
faithful and vigorous way that he
has always done. Luther Burch In

And We Are Right There Yet.

fearlessly championed the cause of

A man of Faux s ability could east

mise his convictions, but he has
chosen that better part and dared
to stand for the right. in face OF
boycott, in face OF misrepresenta
ton and in defiance of the enemirs
of popular government in Mississippi.
1t Is easy to follow a cause when it
is popular, it is easy to gang with
the majority, but it takes man to
stand by his guns when his cause is
unpopular, Faux is ono of the very
few editors who stood by Vardaman
in 1918. Vardaman and his friends
should never forget this.
