EDITORIAL OPINION

by the public, whose fate in sucl
controversies is usually to lose
Credit for a peaceful settlement 1.
due TO the Lockwood committee
which acted as mediator and &c
both employers and unions, who
made the concessions that were nee
essary to a resumption of work. But
the fact that a cessation of building
would not be tolerated by public
opinion was what really counted.
It must not be forgotten. how
ever. that the situation is not yet en-
tirely safe. AS long as quarrels be-
tween minor unions. which do not
concern the public and involve no
questions of wages or hours, can i'm
peril the prosperity of a city OF six
million people the situation will.
never be safe.
In this particular strike two
unions, both composed Of unskilled
iaborers, were struggling for prefer
ment in employment. There was no
question of wages. There was no
question of hours. The only contro-
versy arose over tho right OF an
organization not affiliated with the
American Federation of men. And
that right had been acknowledged
in written agreements by unions be-
longing TO the national body.
This was admittedly a trivial
question. yet for a few days 1t
threatened TO bring building 20 a
standstill, and perhaps to cause sus-
pension of operations through the
winter. The Lockwood committee
has done valuable service in bringing
the warning building interests into
harmony. But It still lacks the au-
thority that would be necessary 10
enable il to function in the event
of a more stubborn quarrel.
The right Of collective bargaining
and the right of unions TO organize
are not now disputed. But the right
of the public is paramount to that
of any special interest. When
labor dispute endangers the public
interest there should be a more
effective means than there is at pres
emf under the laws Of safeguarding
the citizens. who are usually the
losers in any strike no matter which
party TO it appears to be the VIII
ner when it is over.

The public's stake and the city's

stake OF the workers and the con-

rHE PREsIpENTs plea.

From the st. Louis G!obe-Democrat)
President Harding. in his address
TO the special session OF Congress-
makes a strong and practical appear
for the passage OF the merchant
marine act. 10 which the term Sub
sidy bill" is unfortunately attached.
II is unfortunate because the word
subsidy" has become through many
political battles OF the past, a public
irritant, the word Itself arousing
opposition regardless of the merits
OF a measure to which IL Is attach
ed, and this Is a prejudice that
must be overcome If the bill now
before Congress is to become a law
But the situation now is different
from that OF any time in the past
when the question of ship subsidies
was raised. Always before the prob
LEM was to create what we did not
have. Now the problem is to main
tain what we possess. Heretofore a
theory has been presented; now a
condition confronts us.
The war compelled US TO build a
great merchant feet. 10 transport
food and supplies to our armies and
TO carry on the trade for which
the destruction OF the ships Of other
nations had deprived us OF adequate
transportation facilities For this
feet we expended the vast sum OF
SO, 900. 100000. How much OF that
cost was excessive no one can say
Ships had to be built. they had to be
built hurriedly and regardless or
cost. We paid no doubt far more
than they were worth, far more than
they would have cost under normal
conditions of construction, but that
could not be helped. A great fleet
was created by force of necessity.
And the question now is Are we TO
utilize what war thus gave us. or are
we to permit this great investment
to become a total loss2 II is
plain matter of business.

OIL

From the indianapolis News.
The cynics seem to think that
most Of the trouble over the Near
East has to do with oil and the con
troll of oil fields. Indeed, It has
been charged that the maneuvering
of the powers. military and other.
is not unrlated to the desire and
determination to win and hold such
control. OIL certainly is engaging the
thought OF the worlds statesmen TO
a considerable extent In Mexico,
for instance, whereas the demand a
few years ago was that the lives
OF Americans be protected, now the
recognition Of the Obregon govern
ment depends on its willingness to
give legal protection 10 American
property in oil a very proper de-
mand. But It at least serves TO
direct attention to the great inter
est OF governments in this very i'm
portant product.

HARMLESS SUPERSTITION.

From the Marion Star.
More people are superstitious thar
one ordinarily might think. Many
people say they are not supersti-
tious when they are: they will not
admit Il, but nevertheless these same
people will not walk under a ladder
and they have queer feeling
whenever a black cat crosses their
path--that is. many OF them do.
The again, there are many peo-
pie who are superstitious and do
not know II; they are led this way
and that way uDconsciously by some
little faith they can not account for
in something they know nothing
about
Wei, after all what harm Is done2
What would there be 20 Hallowe Ell

ding II II were not for the little
superstltions that the bride and her
attendants have about Il all-what
would there be 10 a wedding, aside
entirely from the sacredness OF the
ceremony, IL il we're not for these
things?
The world gradually is OUTLYING
the superstitions that vexed it and
caused much uDhappiness, but there
are some superstitions that we never
want TO outlive-the superstitions
that make for Joy and call for more

THE NEW WAR PRoPHEsIED.

From the New York Tribune.
On the same day that Clemenceau
in aNew York issued his warning
against the dangers of the Russo
German alliance Mussolini, speak
ing in Switzerland. declared that
Germany was a menace not only for
France but for Italy as well. and
that the next war would surely be
waged Jointly by the Russians, Ger
mans and Turks against Western
civilization. German officers today
are preparing for 1t, he said. In a
similar vein Clemenceau declared
that German munitions plans were
turning out machine guns and can
non against the appointed day.
Don't you see what Is going on?"
said Ciemenceau. Don't you read
the papers7 Why, haven't you
heard OF the treaty between the
Turks and the Germans and the Rus
sians?" Speaking with the sad
wisdom of a half century of partici-
patton in the European tangle. he
repeated his warning of new war
for which Germany was preparing.
Americans are not the only people
prone to turn a deaf ear to 'ances-
trail voices prophesying war" Yet
in the present instance no open
minded man can ignore these warn
ings. They are part of the present
day scene that cannot be brushed
aside. Mussounis experience in in
ternational politics is not compare
bic with that of Clemenceau. but he
has good sources of information and
has access to men wise in the ways
of European diplomacy. Besides, he
speaks for a nation in which the
fear Of Germany has never been as
keen as in France and in which |
since the armistice there have been /
signs of a greater readiness TO for /
give and to forget than in France. |
It is certainly a striking coinci- [,
dence. the young Italian and the |
venerable Frenchman raising the |
same warning in the same hour. II !
would be pleasant to pretend that 1
no one has spoken. But can Amer |
leans thus shut its ears?

ENEMIES OF IRELAND.

FROM the New 1ork tribune.
The majority of men of Irish birth
or descent in the United States
sympathize with the purposes OF the
Free State and recognize in the
Irish constitution the greatest OPP
portunity to achieve peace and pros
perity that has come to the dis
tressed island for many centuries.
These men deplore the outbreak of
so-called Irish republicans in New
York Sunday night. as all friends of
liberty will deplore It.
Americans generally see in the
Free State Ireland's only salvation.
They have sympathized with the
people of Ireland and built high
hopes on the new order. This SYM
pathy in a powerful country where
many Irishmen have found oppor-
tunity and built fortunes will be
greatly weakened II the sidewalks
of New York are TO be made battle
ground for an Irish war extension
movement.
Riot and disorder never help any
cause. Too often on the other side
Of the water they have wrecked the
hope OF peace and freedom and
brought the old bitter, murderous
struggles on anew. When they break
out in New York they must be
vigorously suppressed. even though
the first onslaught OF the rioters
caught the police of their guard.
The pity of It all is that a cause
that was all but won may be lost
because of the behavior of men who
a few years ago would have accepted
gladly a measure Of self-government
not half as liberal as that granted in
the Irish constitution. These men
are not the friends Of Ireland but
the enemies of Ireland. and they are
doing infinite injury TO the country
TO which they profess their devotion.
