Rising Against Unionism.
Why the Public Shows an Unfriendly
Attitude to Organized Labor.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The arti-
Gle by Louis Seibold on the attitude OF
political leaders toward the labor vote
is intensely interesting.
Mr.. Seibold says political leaders have
become Indifferent to the vote and voice
of labor. He quotes participant In a
recent discussion OF organized labor as
saying that the logical explanation OF
the unfriendly attitude Of the publec
toward organized labor Is that organ
lied labor did not hesitate during the
war to subject the average male and
female citizen of the United States 10
every form of inconvenience that a
stupid assertion OF class privilege en-
couraged.'
The recent railroad and coal strikes
and the speeches OF the labor leaders
show that the present attitude of organ
lied labor Is the same as 1t was dur
ing the war We read of Gompers
denouncing the recent strike injunction
and likening the Attorney General to
"a thief in the night" for having dared
to ask for an injunction to protect the
travelling public and TO enjoin the
strikers from committing murder, de-
railing trains and destroying property.
Also we read that Gompers opposes
Federal court of conciliation. He
says "its decisions would be sperforce
binding upon both lltigant employers
and employees He feels that only the
employers should be compelled to obey
the courts.
Again we read that A. w. Kerr, chief
counsel of the Illinois miners union, Bit
dage for daring to prosecute the wild
beasts of Herrin, who massacred and
mutilated men for daring to earn their
living despite the mandate OF the miners
union.
1t is time these meters to violence
learned that the people of this country
are determined to be governed only by
their legally elected and appointed off,
GERS that organized labor, less than 4
per cent. of the people, cannot set itself
above the law and that all these de-
nunciations serve to strengthen the will
OF the remaining 96 per cent. TO govern
themselves. -6Na
Is IL possible that these leaders can
not grasp this idea? OR are they so
self-centered that they can only grasp
those ideas which they originate-ideas
so warped and twisted by selfishness
that the people of this country, includ-
ing many of the labor unionists. will
not tolerate them?

History Recalled by the Situation IN

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: In re-
gard to the attitude OF France toward

from Lord Frederick Uamiltons book

Great Britain and France had estah-

did not pull we'll together. In 1879 the
incorriglblc Ismail was deposed In favor
of Tewflk and two years later mill

Very unwisely attempts were made
TO propltate Arabi by making him a

matters went from bad to worse. In
May, 1882. the French and British fleets
appeared before Alexandria and threat.

population massacred large numbers OF

Still the French Government refused to
take any definite action and systemati-
cally opposed every proposal made by
the British Government.

opposition of tho French to the Brit

attitude this country will take toward
participation In the proposed general
European economic conference. In the
main the two countries see eye to eye
on three problems which underlie a
solution OF the financial tangle as
follows:
First-The scaling down OF German
reparations to figure within the prac-
tical paying power Of the German people.
Second-The systematic balancing of
budgets OF European Powers including
France. regarded here as one of the
worst offenders.
Third--The cutting down OF expendi-
lures on military undertakings.

Obstacles to Our Exports.

Dollars never tell the whole story
in foreign trade: barrels, bushels
and pounds coupled with the dol
lars do. And what this true meas
ure of our exports shows is that, ir-
respective of price fluctuations, the
volume Of the commodities we sell
abroad has been falling.
The August record of wheat, -four,
corn and beef is typical. The wheat
exports, for example, were 34,000,000
bushels worth $42,000,000 as against
59, 900, 900 bushels worth $S5,000,000
the year before. Wheat flour showed
1 ,000,00 barrels worth $7,000,000 as
against 100000 barrels in August
1921, worth $12,000,000.
For the eight months of the year
the export values showed heavy de-
cline along with the volume. The grain
total for the corresponding months
Of last year was $575, 900, 900, but this
year only 100000. Meat fell
from $11s, 100000 to $50 100000.
Foreign countries without gold and
with strained credit find increasing
eifficulty in buying American goods
when they cannot pay for them with
their own goods. A tariff or any
other policy that keeps their goods
out OF our markets thus tends to keep
our goods out Of their markets.
1t is all very well to say that If the
American farmer can sell his crops
for a good price at home he need not
bother about selling any of them
abroad. But the fact is that the
American wheat farmer must sell one
hushel abroad for every two bushels
he sells at home or there will be no
good price at home.
Not more than 600,000,000 bushels
of the normal crop OF 100000, 900
bushels can possibly be consumed at
home. IL there should be an unsal-
able surplus OF three hundred mill
ion bushels at home, or two hundred
million or one huHdred million, the
bottom would drop out of the whole
American wheat market.
And what is true of agricultural
products IS true OF manufactures that
have been dependent upon foreign
markets for the sale Of a considerable
part Of their output.
America as whole, with its enor-
mously increased productive machin-
cry and protective capacity, needs to
sell the world over or the country
cannot thrive.

The United States Government is not
seriously concerned over the possibility
that conditions in the Near East, includ-
ing the fareup in Greece. will Interfere
with the program of the World War
Funding Commission to convert the
mounting $40, ,000, ,000, 900 European obli-
cations into long term payments.
Any intimations to this effect from
abroad are considered as propaganda
In line with gestures made by various
countries from time to time. The op-
timfsm of MEMBERS of the Funding
Commission is of course based on the
assuption that the trouble Is not likely
to affect seriously the financial stability
OF the main debtors of the United States.
A meeting of the commission will be
held tomorrow. The assertion was made
by one OF its members that the danger
OF a halt in the negotiations as a result
of the Near East trouble Is exaggerated.
To-morrow's meeting will be largely
devoted to consideration of negotia-
tions with Great Britain. The British
commission headed by Sir Robert
Horne. the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
according to latest information reaching
here. is to arrive the latter part of
October. The commission expects little
trouble in reaching a funding agree
ment with Great Britain that will be
acceptable to both countries.
Unlike the French commission headed
by NJ. Parmentier, the British commits
sion will have full powers to make q

Boccaccio VS.. Blackstone.

III JOHN S. SUMNER Of the New York
Society for the Suppression OF Vice
does not soon tire in his campaign
against writer's and publishers whose
books are too plain spoken for his
taste something will have to be done
toward the formation of Society for
the Protection of Magistrates.
No Magistrate knows, in the pres
ent state Of affairs, when he may not
be called upon to act as referee in one
of Mr.. SUMMERS charges of inde-
cency, with the result that he must
give laborious nights and days to the
perusal of the "Decameron," BALzAc's
"Droll Stories" or the Thousand
and One Nights" He must tear him
self away from the study OF "Blogg
on Torts" and "Flogg on Corpora
tions" to pass upon the wickedness OF
FLAUBERT in Madame Bovary" and
JAMES BRANCH CABELL in "Jurgen."
Mr.. SUMMERS most recent effort in
his favorite field was directed against
'The Satyricon of Petronius ArDfter,"
and it fell to the lot Of Magistrate
OBERwAGER to determine the right of
the book to survival and free circula-
tion. He decided, quite justly, that
the work was too valuable as a satiri-
cal comment upon the time in which
it was written to be suppressed.
To reach that conclusion Magistrate
OBERwAGER not only read PETRoNIUs
but conducted researches into liter
ary history which suggest the stu
dents preparation of thesis for the
doctorate. He acquainted himself
with the body of critical opinion as
1t touches upon the value Of PETRo-
MUS in literature and of his book as
a record of civilization.
That suggests the real danger which
turks back of Mr.. SUMMERS activities.
There is no need to fear that he will
succeed in reducing literature to the
condition of the Rollo books, but
there is a grave possibility that he
may make life intolerable for the
judiciary and make it's members un-
fit for and impatient with the pursuit
of their profession. Has he no pity
in his heart? Can he not picture a
Magistrate who has been enjoying
the broad geniality Of CHAUCER-for
even he may be next--closing the
book with a sigh and reaching wearily
for "Ketchum on Contracts?
