A Strike Against the Public?

IN the refusal OF spokesman for employees
Of the Virginia Railway and Power Com
pany to commit themselves on the question
of calling out tho men at the powerhouse
the people of Richmond must perceive
threat of acute and widespread distress. I'M
pairment OF the city's car service is one
thing; stoppage of the city's supply OF cleo
trio power is quite different matter. 1t
is conceivable that effectuation of the for
mer as n means of defense would be viewed
with tolerance by large section of the
public; it is wholly inconceivable that the.
public would yield an iota OF sympathy or
tolerance If the union leaders should resort
to u direct attack upon the industrial and
social well-being of the community. Such
an attack would necessarily be involved in
cessation of work at the power-house. The
fact that it would not be so intended does
not in the slightest degree diminish the
seriousness of the implied threat.
Leaders of street railway workers have
indicated their earnest desire to have the
sympathy and active support OF the public
Therein they have given a sign OF wisdom
II the public should be forced to choose "A
side. that side will win. II the silence OF
the union leaders on the question of call
ing out the power-housc force signifies an
intention to issue such a call, the choice OF
the public will not long remain in doubt
No step more surelyi.6r q,fekly fatal to a
strike could possibly be .counseled by the
union leaders.
Since spokesman for the workers have
elected to maintain silence that leaves a
grave contingency among the possibilities,
1t devolves upon the public 10 consider on
it's own account what that contingency would
:, mean. Withdrawal OF the supply OF rio
power would exert an immediate and far
reaching influence upon the life Of the city;
the consequences OF "a prolonged stoppage
would be distressing beyond calculation. In
dustrial Richmond would face the new year
under handicap of the most severe char.
acter. The people of Richmond will believe
only with reluctance That any Richmond
group is prepared to assume the responsible
lily for imposing that handicap If com.
PEELED 10 believe they wil-thcy must
take the most effective means 10 compel re-
spect for the communitys vital interests.
II the reticence of union Spokesman mean,
that they are still debating the matter. tina,
they are still faltering at the forks of The
road. they will be well advised TO make III

ment IL Europe is to be saved from q rapid
decline Of its already dismal economic state
Premier Lloyd George laid the case be-
fore the session ut Cannes yesterday with
degree OF clarity and force that must COM
mand the admiration of all thoughtful OBJ
servers III calling for united effort among
tho allied powers looking TO the rehabili-
tation OF Europe, the British Premier point
cd the only way out. He Is Enthusiastically
right in asserting that the responsibility
for Europe's salvation rests upon the yictors
in the world war. His position is equally
unassailablc when he urges that the recog-
nized accountability OF Germany does not
relieve the victor nations of the duty of
determining the extent to which Germany
can pay.
Lloyd George has appealed for nothing
more or less than the application OF com
mon sense to the economic problems of the
Old World. He has refused to be deferred
either by sentimental hang overs or by the
bugbear of Bolshevist domination; rehabili-
tation for Germany. for Russia, for every
part OF war-stricken Europe Is the burden
OF his challenge to the supreme council,
and failure to move in the direction he has
indicated can mean nothing but an early
passage from bad to worse.
The United States. unhappily, still occu-
pies the position OF an onlooker, but the
extent TO which American interests are
bound up in the supreme councils pro-
gram, whether It be one Of action or mac
ton, is perfectly apparent TO every student
OF business. The conference ut Cannes
with fair degree OF good fortune, should
make n porentous contribution to the
worlds economic recovery.

WALSH SAYS
RED RAIDS" ILLEGAL

d. That Palmer had no legal right
to spend any part of the $1,000,000
voted him under the law to provide
funds "for the detection and prosecu-
ton of crime" on any such proceed
ings.
5. That Palmer's claims that the
nation was in danger were "humor-
GUS" not an iota of evidence being
produced before the investigation to
prove any real concrete attempt to
overthrow this government was on
foot.
Walsh is a conservative Democrat,
considered the ablest constitutional
lawyer in the senate, and favored the
confirmation of Palmer as attorney
general. Yet he is so outraged by
Palmer's conduct that he is forcing
the consideration of his report
against the opposition of Senator
Sterling, Republican (author of the
sedition bill, and chairman of the
subcommittee of investigation, who
is unable to deny the truth of Walsh's
conclusions but wants to smother the
matter. Walsh has the support of
Senator Borah, who declares Walsh S
reasoning should be read especially
by lawyers and judges" Sterling is
now raising a row in the committee
because Walsh made public the re-
port before it was debated in full
committee. Walsh retorts he had a
right to do so because Of Sterling's
long delay, and that it was his
(Walsh's) own report.

BY JUDSON KING

The "red raids" of former Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer are I'M
mercifully flayed in a sensational re-
port just made by Senator Walsh of
Montana, to the full judiciary COM
mittee of the United States senate.
The charges of illegal conduct
made by the National Popular Gov
eminent league, through committee
of Twelve Lawyers" appointed at
the time of the raids. are upheld.
Walsh's findings are the result of an
investigation into the truth of these
charges ordered by the senate.
The Montana senator coldly re-
views the law and the facts, and con-
cludes, in brief:
1. That Palmer had no authority
in law to arrest for deportation a
single alien, the statutes vesting that
power in the department of labor.
2. That the constitutional rights
of aliens (Which under the constiu-
ion, statutes and court decisions, are
the same as that of a citizen) in the
methods employed for their arrest
and Imprisonment. were "recklessly
denied" under specific instructions
from Washington to field agents of
the department.
8. That the sufferings caused the
arrested men, their wives and chill
dren by the methods employed were
"inhuman," unnecessary, and a dis
grace to a civilized nation.
