Regular work under nygien.c condi-

In industrial efficiency but in the happl-

strikes were entered upon nowadays, and
showed the disastrous secondary effects

Power OF fhe Labor Unions.

To THE New YORK HERALD: In a let
ter to your paper William w. welch
asks Have the politicians surrendered
to the labor unions?"
1t seems odd that there should be
anybody who j. not convinced by this
time that the politicians are dominated
by the unions. And that Is why we do
not have any laws to curb the unions.
The real power in this country is
Gompers and not the President OF the
United States. As head OF the labor
unions Gompers can recommend or sane
ton a strike and the unions obey him.
but when the President urges the men
to go back to work do they go?
Freedom as regards the labor unions
works only one way. IL you are union
man you are free 10 do anything al
most, but IL you are not try to get a
job. Look at the strikes the country
has been through. There has got to be
an end to 1t some time, and unless the
unions are controlled in some way the
United States will be another Russia.
The greatest good President Harding
could do for his country would be to
break the labor unions. A WORKER.

ExSecretary of Treasury, at Williamstown, Sees En-

moving In vicious circle. We shall not
find satisfactory point of departure In
the field of exchange and money or. In
my Judgment, in that OF reparations or
of allied debts. Abnormal exchange and
unstable money are symptoms They
are not the disease. The symptoms will
disappear when the disease Is cured and
not before. Preparations are more i'm
mediately a moving cause of trouble |;
but for the most part they have been
and are a menace rather than an actual
economic burden.
This Is true because as yet there has
been no large cash indemnity payment
and there probably will not be in the
near future. An attempt to compel
Germany to pay any such sums as has
been demanded will fail, and persistence
In the attempt will injure those who
make it scarcely less than 1t will injure
Germany.
I'm the present condition of Europe
and OF International trade Europe can
not pay any part of the principal Of the
debt or the interest without serious
cetriment to her and to America. 1t is
physically impossible for US to receive
payment and at the same time to ex-
tend or even to maintain our foreign
trade, and II Is singular that the very
people who have clamored for payment
OF the debt should be most insistent on
measures to stimulate our foreign trade
They favored revival Of the War
FINANCE Corporation to stimulate trade,
and some of them have advocated sub
slides to ships to carry trade. and yet
with balance Of trade already running
against Europe in the billions they
think 1t possible for Europe to pay the
debt
AT the same moment they passed an
emergency tariff bill to restrict imports
and now favor a wholesale upward re-
vision OF duties which will greatly re-
strict trade with Europe, II II does not
kill 1t.
Certainly one OF the things this coun-
try can do to aid Europe is to suspend
efforts to go in half dozen different
economic directions at the same moment.
1t should quickly develop a program
which will facilitate trade by encourage
ing the admission Of commodities which
we need and which Europe can pro-
duce."
In general Mr.. Houston's views seem
to dovetail into those of his predecessors
as LEADERS OF the round table, Paul d.
Cravath and Paul NJ. Warburg. M
Oscar T. Crosby, former Assistant Sec
retary Of the Treasury, who Is chairman
OF the group here considering interallied
ucots' Saiu lndl ne WAS IN Iuil accord
with the views expressed by Mr. Houston.
Prof. James Bell of Williams College,
secretary Of the conference, remarked,
however, that he did not think that the
talk about cancellation was merely aca-
demic, for 1t served to orient and classify
public opinion.
The round table on interallied debts
heard reports from committee to-day
which. In general, agreed that the Ger
man reparations should be reduced to
10 billion dollars. that the army should
be withdrawn from Germany and that
eventually the only security for German
payments be made Germany's willing
ness to pay.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Have we
reached the point where a compare
lively few persons acting under orders
Of a few arbitrary leaders can issue
their ultimatum and the Government
and people of the United States must
obey or suffer the consequences? We
have had very generous taste OF gov
ernment ownership of the railroads and
1t was expensive and altogether unsat-
isfactory to all but railroad employees.
II the shop men or any other set of
employees want to leave their work that
Is their privilege. II is also the privi-
lege OF the railroad operators or any
other set Of employers OF labor to en-
gage other workers who are willing and
want to work to fill their places. and our
Government should protect them in the
lawabiding performance OF their duty.
1t Is high time that the leaders OF the
unions and the unions themselves
should learn that they cannot continue
TO insult our constitutional laws.

"For Reflection"

The latest allied conference on the
German reparations question has ad-
journed sine die "for reflection" a
phrase which honestly expresses the
reason.
We read that the British and
French Premiers were as far apart
as ever at the close of the meeting.
Perhaps they will be almost as far
apart at the end Of the next confer
ence. But eventually the Allies must
get together on the problem which
means so much to all of Europe.
Conferences among nations at peace
with one another usually end-when
they do not end in WARMTH some
yielding on all sides. The important
thing is that the meetings should be
persevered in. A week before the
Irish conference in Downing Street
ended no man on either side Of the
Channel would have bet plugged
shilling on agreement-and yet the
Irish Free State emerged from the
apparent chaos.
In the period for reflection" Mr..
LLOYD GEORGE will reflect and M.
PorNcARE will reflect, each consider
ing not only what is best for his ma
tion but what is necessary for the
recovery of Europe from its economic
illness. In the end the doctors will
agree to agree.

A Dangerous Precedent.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD The labor
unions are attempting to compel by any
and all means a settlement that will
give shop crafts strikers their old places,
thus pushing to one side those men who
faithfully stood by the roads when the
attempt was made to throttle the trans
portation of the country.
II such settlement is made 1t will
give labor unions such power in future
strikes as will surely prevent the roads
from finding men to help the country In
such time of peril. 1t Is evident that
Jewell and other labor heads consider
themselves of greater Importance and CT
greater power even than the President
Of the United States.
/ trust that such a dangerous prece-
dent will not be made but that the
pledges given those men who We're faith
ful to the roads will be kept. ID. E. M.

Unions and the Public.
Issues Plainly Defined In the Coal
and Railroad Strikes.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: How d.
, the people feel about the threatened
walkout of the Big -Four brotherhoods a,
means OF coercing the railroads int
acceding to the demands of the shop
men? If am any judge OF public sen.
timent people would be glad to have thu
fact impressed upon the unions that this
Is government OF law and order in the
interests of all the people, and not q
government of labor unionism in the in
terests OF labor unions
No combination of railroad employees
or miners can take us by the throat and
exact tribute from us. They may not
by reason of their employment in the
production and transportation of the ne
cessities of life and under threat of de-
priving us Of these necessities, demand
and exact rates of pay disproportionatc
not only to the character of their work
but to the rates of pay received by other
classes of labor who work harder than
they do at tasks demanding in many in
stances greater skill and ability.
This is a fight between the unions and
the people who must pay the freight
and passenger rates and coal prices
made necessary by their exactons. APP
parently lesson must be taught and
now is as good time as any to teach 1t.
IL the other brotherhoods want to try
their strength against the people Of this
country let them go to II now. and we
will make one job of it. There are too
many men who are ready and, willing to
take the places of the strikers at the
rates of pay and conditions Of labor
which the strikers reject for the country
to stand for any more nonsense. It is
only necessary that these men shall be
protected.
/ devoutly hope that the railroad pres
idents will not be persuaded by any
agency whatsoever into breaking their
word to the employees now engaged in
the maintenance OF transportation as to
their priority rights. In my opinion the
people are ready to go into fight to a
finish to terminate once and for all the
tyranny and terrorism of labor union
ism and to uphold our constitutional
rights of life. liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness including the right of every
citizen to work when and where ne
pleases unmolested. r. A. C.

Morvich's Blood Tells.

The manner in which Runelise, the
sister to Norwich, won at Saratoga
last week the first race in which
she started indicates that the son Of
Runnymede was not a chance horse,
as many persons believed.
The possession Of such speed as
this pair have shown is not an acci-
dent but must come through the
blending Of strains of blood with the
quickening elements intensified to a
degree far beyond the ordinary. That
Runelise proved herself to be smart
filly must be gratifying to THOMAS
FORTUNE RYAN, as he selected her
himself and conducted the negotia-
tions leading up to her purchase from
her breeder, ADoLPH SPREcKELs of
California, for sum in excess of
$50 200.
The uncertainties of breeding in
the matter of coloring crop out in
the case of Norwich and his sister.
}Morvich is a dark bay, almost a
brown, like his mother, while Rune
1ise has the chestnut color Of her
sire Runnymede and grandsire Vo-
ter. The filly is the sounder of the
two, and il her quality as race
mare depends upon her physical at
tributes she should have a successful
turf career.
Incidentally Runelise has been the
means of gaining Mr.. RYAN as a
recruit to racing in California, as he
has become stockholder in the Pa
cific Coast Jockey Club, an organiza-
tion formed to promote the develop
ment Of the thoroughbred. His as
sociates will include RUDOLPH SpREcK-
ELS, ADoLPH SPREcKELs, FRANK J..
KELLEY, A. X. MAcoMBER and c.
X. G. BILLINGS. The intention is to
conduct meetings Of limited duration,
and unless the original plans are
modified only those who are invited
to enter their horses will be allowed
to participate in the races.
While many look upon the project
as Utopian, the experiment will be
watched with interest. California in
the days of THOMAS H. WILLIAMS
had plenty OF racing combined with
bookmaking. A love for the sport
was developed. That it is still alive
despite the absence Of speed tests
ever since bookmaking was sup
pressed is evidence that every COM
munity has an element that derives
pleasure from horse racing. Under
the new order of things California
may regain her place among the
leaders in the matter of blood stock
production.
