"Tired of Strikes" !"

Hats off to. John H. Donlon, presi.
dent OF the building trades depart
ment of the American. Federation Of
Labor! At the annual meeting Of that
department yesterday in Cincinnati
he said: =. -.
The whole nation is tired Of strikes
and lockouts, and disgusted with such
institutions that make lockouts and
strikes possible. The only way to
~i:imi1e. them Is to minimize such
authority as can order a strike or
lockout. Those responsible for strikes
In cities are always in the minority.
In extension .ot. his thought Mr..
Donlon. In his annual report. urged
the creation Of a central national body
of the building trades union which
would take from the locals the power
Of calling strikes in the industry.
There is no doubt whatever that the
public Is tired of strikes and lockouts,
tired OF all such needless Interrupt
tfons of labor, or failures Of producr
ton and service and Of bearing the
cost Of such Interruptions. The pub

No Loan to Germany.

Neither surprise nor serious disap-
pointment will be occasioned by fall
ure of the International bankers as
sembled IN Paris to agree upon the
terms OF loan to Germany. 1t was
at best a forlorn hope. for without
changes in fundamental conditions
there did not appear to be sufficient
basis of credit or other safeguards
which would have induced public sub
scription to loan Of billion dollars
or more, The bankers had little re-
gard for political considerations, but
dealt with realities, and the realities
were against loan.
There was no real conviction, at
least in this country. that loan of
even billion dollars would do more
than postpone the day Of reckoning.
and 1t was feared that when the in
evitable reckoning came 1t would be
more difficult because Of the loan.
Germany seemed eager to borrow a
billion or two OF American dollars,
but that was because Germany was
confronted with a crisis which eone-
how must be tided over. The intel
ligent German inanciers knew no per-
mauent solution was to be achieved
that way. Frank A. Vanderlip quotes
Walter Rathenau. Germany's brilliant
foreign minister, as saying: 1T is idle
be no permanent benefit to us in the
present state of affairs"
That Is the view Americans have
taken of the proposed loan since II
was first projected. 1t would do no
permanent good in the present state
Of affairs. What is needed Is f1ndz-
mentally to change the present state
of affairs. and that is the one thing
which European craftsmanship ap-
pears to lack the capacity or the cour-
age to undertake. For three years
row European politico-doctors have
been rushing about applying pallatives
to symptomatic outbreaks. and all
the while the fostering seat Of the
trouble was exposed to their gaze, in
spiring In their minds only the desire
to edge farther and rarther away
from it. l.
The bankers at Paris are to be con-
graduated upon their sanity and un-
derstanding. 1t is conceivable that
less able men might have been iured
by a prospact Of huge profits into un-
dertaking fiotation Of the loan: only to
be left to hold the bag filed with un-
derwritten but unmarketable bonds.
The bankers representing the few
European countries which have lend
able funds knew their own constitu-
encies. and they were wen advised by
Mr.. Morgan Of conditions in the
United States. So the loan is of. and
there has gone glimmering one more
hope Of the European statesmen that
they can avoid dealing with actual-
ties. E

indiscriminately. It knows that much
Of the fault lies with employers. who
sometimes. In order to defeat the
legitimate wishes Of their workers.
close the doors and compel idleness.
But 1t also knows that strikes are
often called without any warrant as
a means OF compelling the acceptance
Of new scales Of pay without regard
for the state Of the industry or the
burden already borne by the con.
sumers.
This statement of Mr.. Donlon Is es.
pecially valuable Just at this time,
with the railroad unions about to take
strike votes ON. the reductions al.

Railroad Wage Board. If those strike
votes result. as they usually do. in fa.
vur Of a walkout on the part Of the
various brotherhoods affected. the
railroads may be tied up In strike
that will cost the American people
hundreds Of millions of dollars in lost
service. in lost wages and in eventual

Heretofore the trouble has been
that strikes are ordered without q suf.

feet. Whether it is true, as MIR. Don
Ion says, that those responsible for
strikes in cities are always in the

Premature Jubilation,

Some of the democratic leaders are
injudiciously jubiiant over recent re-
publican nominations. They may not
bear the interpretations put upon
them. At any rate, they are as yet
but nominations. They must so
through the fires of a campaign and
an election.
1t may be well to recall at this time
the famous recipe for hare soup-nrst
catch your hare.
Before the republican party can be
destroyed from within men must be
elected to office with that object. in
view and with program tor achiev-
ing that result. .-s
That the democrats should desire
the thing done is natural enough.
They have been trying for many years
to turn the trick from the outside,
but somehow their best laid plans
have gone "a-siey."
No republican of size sufficient to
influence In any measure national
policies has yet been nominated this
year for Office whose past record or
present position warrants a calcula-
tfon that In office he would work for
the embarrassment or division Of his
party in 1924. On the contrary, all
the nominees have accepted their
honors as republican in name and
character, and thereby committed
themselves to a course Of consulta-
tjons as to what should be done and
how to do it looking to keeping the
party fit for service and in power to
render service. = -

Hepl1cement OF TIE LtnCUin statue
upon tts original site in front Of the
courthouse is assured by the adoption
by the Senate yesterday of joint
resolution already adopted by the
House. with certain amendments that
the House is altogether likely to &c
cept promptly upon announcement.
The original resolution provided no
appropriation Tor the work ef replace
ment. and this Is added now by the
Senate. The language Of the resolu-
ton is also. changed to permit the re-
placement upon Approximately" the
original site, SO that It will be possible
to cause It to conform to the changed
conditions Of the space. Against this
there is no objection whatever. so
long as the xite actually chosen car
ries out the purpose to restore the
first memorial to Lincoln to its first
setting. from which it was removed
without due thought. :.
This action virtually closes an cpl
sode that has had deep significance.
The removal of the statue was ordered
by Congress without sufficient con-
sideration- and without adequate safe
guards against the -obiiteratien Of this
eloquent testimonial Of the people,
given In the first days Of the national
sorrow over the death Of Lincoln. The
people Of the. capital. falling to get
financial assistance from other cities
for the erection Of, a memorial. to the
naartyred President. proceeded to erect
one with their own small resources.
It was the frst to be raised in this
country, and as such has q historical
meaning that transeends all other con-
siderations. Congress has now recos-
nized the propriety Of preserving the
shaft and statue. inartistic as the
memorial may seem to some, made
ouate AZ It nazy bs as . presentday
expression Of the national feeling.
Had provision been made at the
time OF the removal Of the shaft for
its replacement in another and a suit
able site. there would have been no
serious objection, however regretful
the District may have been that a
significant landmark had bean shifted
Neglect OF this duty aroused feel
ing that could not. in the end. be as
suased save by the replacement OF the
memorial in its original position. 1t
is plain that tokens Of public senti-
ment may not be lightly disregarded.
However art standards may change
for the better. public memorial ex-
pressions are not to be treated with
regard solely for their. relation to the
latest styles. They are part Of the his
tory Of the people and are to be cher
ished even though they may not
please all eyes.
This order for the replacement Of
the statue Is a graceful acknowledg-
ment of a mistake, and Is appreciated
by the community that gave of Its
meager means this first physical ex-
preston Of the peoples sorrow for the
passing Of Lincoln.
