The Daugherty Injunction

haliroao executives are quoted as
critlclzing the Daugherty injunction.
1hey at least withhold praise.
They whisper, it is said, that as
they had the shipments strike prac-
tlcally won the Attorney General
ala not help them by introducing a
new complication; that having
avoided definite action when the
same would have done good he might
we'll have held himself in check q
little longer.
The feeling behind the argument
is not hard to discern. The rail
roads face particular problem and
are interested at this time in speedy
practical results. Naturally, they
would be let alone. Nor can thew he
expected to like Mr.. Daugherty's
dark picture of railroad equipment
conditions, while their own is q
bright one.
But though the action at Chicago
may not be altogether welcome in
railway circles it is certainly q
declaration of truths that it is well
at all times to have clearly in mind
and which recently have been some
what obscured. There are two prin-
clples on which the American people
tolerate no compromise. One is that
tnere shall be law and order, the
other is that no man who wishes to
work shall be interfered with.
With Herrin murders occurring
and holocausts such as the one at
pittsburgh sending thrill of horror
through the land, it was fit that some
one should speak plainly. The effects
would have been good had notice
been posted two months ago that yio-
lence and sabotage would meet un-
hlnching resistance. Mr.. Daughertv
though late, has at last succeeded
IN removing all obscurity about the
Administrators position.
In another respect the injunction
is likely to have valuable educa-
tive effect. 1t, in effect, denies the
right OF any one to conspire or to act
TO interfere with interstate COM
merce. It thus brings to the front
the need of Congressional action to
establish the principle that railway
employees when they accept service
surrender the right to strike. Public
attention is challenged and, thanks
to Mr.. Daugherty, many thousands
who hitherto have been Indifferent
are opening their eyes.

Grand Jurors ON Automobiles

The minute on the subject of auto
mobile accidents which the August
Grand Jury of New York County
has presented to the Court of Cen
erai Sessions has the merit of MAX
ing specific recommendation
The grand jurors point out a par
ticularly weak spot in the licensing
process that ought to be looked after.
The State Motor Vehicle Depart
ment, with only thirteen examiners.
IS licensing 700 applicants a day.
Adequate examination is impossible
under such pressure. The percentage
Of reflections is small. A thorough
wedding out at this office would keep
many unfit drivers from the wheel.
Special treatment of motor trucks
is suggested, since these vehicles, as
the figures show, are the most honi-
cldal. The remedy is to attach to
commercial automobiles devices to
limit their speed so that pedestrians
may have a chance to get out of
their way.
Uniformity of traffic regulations
IN all the cities Of the state is q
eommon-sense measure that should
not be delayed When the rules of
the road everywhere are as like one
another as the multiplication table,
and as well memorized, the number
OF mishaps through bewilderment
will be mininized.
Jail sentences instead of fines are
the grand jurors recipe for fragrant
offenders. They note that during the
third week in August with the Vol
stead law in full blast) more per-
sons were arrested for driving auto
mobiles while intoxicated than in
any other week since the Traffic
Court was established. Will any Of
these men go to jail? The extreme
reluctance of most judges to put be-
hind the bars the man who runs
anluck with his motor car is one Of
the mysteries Of the bench. In this

frances Hermit Policy

France, we are told, is seriously
considering dropping out of the In
ternational industrial race to con-
centrate her energies upon her In
ternal development. Determined to
become self-sufficing, she hopes to
produce within her own borders or
to get from her colonial possessions
all that she needs.
Formerly importing foodstuffs as
well as manufactured articles and
raw materials, she now expects to
raise enough grain and other foods
to free her of dependence upon
other nations. Her cotton, for
merly imported from the United
States, she plans to get from Africa,
and even her coffee she hopes to
raise in Madagascar instead of buy
ing it in Brazil. Only oil is lacking
within her territories, but as part
compensation she plans to develop
her water power, which has an esti-
mated latent capacity Of 5000, 900
horsepower.
During the war Frances manu-
featuring capacity was greatly in
creased, and it was expected that
after the peace settlement she
would devote more of her energies
to great industrial activities than
heretofore. But different reasons
some political, some social and some
technical---push her to quit the in
dustrial race and to manufacture
only such articles as she will need
for her own consumption.
These, in general lines, are the
outstanding features Of frances
new hermit policy described by The
Tribune's Paris correspondent in
last Sundays issue. In these days,
when a nations economic policy
has such an influence upon it's inter
national relations, they deserve care
full consideration.
That such a policy would be
adopted eventually long has been
plain to many. France always has
been an agricultural nation. She
has not shown the industrial genius
OF the Germans or ourselves. The
terrible losses in man power during
the war and the crippling of her
economic life through the war costs
and the failure of Germany to make
good the war damages seem to
make 1T more essential than ever
Tor France to fall back upon her
agricultural work. The myth Of an
aggressive France thus receives an
other shock.
New-York tribune., 1922-09-05

sponsible for this admirable record.
An excellent plant installed with
great care is maintained with un-
ceasing watchfulness. Through
thorough signal systems and inces-
sent attention on the part of skilled
employees everything possible is
done to avoid mishaps. Frequent
inspections of lines and equipment
are made and likely causes of acct
dent are constantly guarded against.
Railroad men admit that there
are certain accidents which may
happen any time and which are
practically beyond human control.
The fates seem occasionally to step
in at the most important moment
and play havoc when men think all
is serene. But it is van unfortunate
fact that many Of the accidents on
railroads in this country have not
been traceable solely to i'll luck. In
too many cases somebody has blum
dered. An open switch, a misplaced
signal, a few minutes inattention to
duty, and negligence has reaped its
toll in dead and injured. Against
this kind Of accident the Pennsyl-
vania has waged a winning fight.
For it's success it is entitled to great
credit.

50 a Week Fiction
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: An article in The Tribune Of
recent date which purports to quote
me has been brought to my atten-
tion. This apparently is based on a
faxed interview which was published
in Boston newspaper for August %
and copied in New York the following
day. The reporter who is responsible
for the story had secured budget
prepared by an employer member of
one of the commissions [Massachu-
setts Department of Labor and In
dustries] wage boards and used this
as the foundation for the article, AS
the budget in question was not ac-
cepted by the wage board there is
no excuse for it's publication.
The statements ascribed to me are
purely fictitious. have never said
that SO q week is sufficient to supply
working girl with all the necessaries
of life and that SIT week will supply
luxuries. The article does not in any
way represent my views and is a
pure fabrication. I should appreciate
it if you will publish this explanation
in your columns.
ETHEL M. JOHNSON,
Assistant Commissioner.
Boston, Mass, Sept. 2, 1922.
New-York tribune., 1922-09-05

It is creditable to both the intelli-
gence and the prudence Of the lead
ers of organized labor that they
frown on the hot-head suggestion of
a general strike. Ecstatic over VIC
tories at the public expense in both
branches of the coal industry and
enraged by the Daugherty injunc-
tion, the lunatic fringe of the labor
organizations would run amuck. But
soherer leaders and unions have
dampened radical enthusiasm.
OF all schemes ever conceived of
to plunge every one into common
misery the general strike is the most
sinister. It's a short cut to general
ruin. If the doctrine were applied
it would be worse than unlimited
fiat, heretofore the most rapid We
hiele to arrive at the communism Of
universal woe.
The complaint is that there are not
enough distributable goods to be had
atlprices enabling every one to enjoy
luxury. AS remedy it is proposed
to have a condition wherein there
will be nothing at all to distribute.
To burn down well-filled barn to
drive out rats is a policy of intelli-
gepce compared to the general strike,
for it would at least leave the rats
as a resource against starvation,
while the general strike would not
even leave a rat ration.
The suggestion is so plainly a
counsel of insanity, is SO obviously
an oxhortation to universal suicide,
that it is not strange that it finds a
chilly reception except in the par
lors of amateur Bolshevists.
The. general strike is an invention
of the half-grown and non-self-re-
specting proletarians of Europe who
are controlled by an inheritance Of
slave psychology. 1t represents an
importation which has leaked ir
through Ellis Island. 1t cannot en-
dure the withering light Of Ameri-
can common sense.
The men of the unions, however
infiamed they may be at times
against employers, or however criti-
cal some of them may be of the ex-
listing economic order, are not yet
complete fools. Though some OF
them would seize power and ruth
lessly exercise it, they have sense
enough to see that something should
be left over which to exercise power

Scratching the Surface

The Senate passed Mr.. Pomerene's
campaign fund limitation bill with
out dissenting vote. Sentiment
was unanimous that it would do no
harm, even if it didn't do much good
Mr.. Dillingham;, acting chairman of
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, frankly called it, an "emer
gency makeshift." 1t may furnish
something to build on if Congress
decides later to put a real limitation
on expenditures by and for candi-
dates for the House and Senate.
Mr. Pomerene's measure provides
that no candidate for the Senate
may spend more than $4,000 in his
own behalf and no candidate for the
House may spend more than $4,000.
But there are loopholes. Money
spent for necessary personal ex-
penses in campaigning, travel, sub
sistence, stationery, postage, writing
or printing Except in the news
papers) and distributing letters, cir
eulars and posters.
Here is an opening as wide as a
barn door for the candidate who
wants to go in fer publicity. And
there is no restriction put on pub
licity or other costs incurred by a
candidates friends acting individ-
ually.
AS matter Of fact, the Pomerene
bill is only an apologetic gesture. 1t
sets a standard Of moderation which
sosae candidates may be glad to live
up to. But it hampers nobody who
thinks that he needs publicity to get
votes. 1t is hypoeritical to blink
the truth that at a time when ad-
vertising is so popular and SO highly
organized candidates may be forced
by circumstances to run up big cam
palgn accounts. Suppose your adj
yersary happens to be man as
widely faeraMed In your constituency
as afbreakfast food or a complexion

A Safety Record

The Pennsylvania Railroad an
nounces that not one Of the 1872
100000 passengers which it carried
during the, year ended May 81 last
was killed. Inasmuch as the Penn
sylyania handled about one-seyenth
OF the total passenger traffic in the
country during this period. this
record deserves high praise. In 1920
264 passengers were killed in the
entire country. In 1918 the figure
was as high as 519. According to
the law of averages the pennsv,-
vania's quota is about one seventh
OF these figures. And yet this wear
the quota was zero.
