Arthur Griffith's death has undoubt-
edly shaken the Free State organiza-
ton, and some nope Is revived among
the republicans that 1t will cause q
collapse of the Dublin government.
There is, however. but little reason to
look for such an outcome. Griffith.
though unquestionably the strongest
of the Free State leaders, and in some
respects the most capable. had the
support of many men of virtually al
most equal character and in some re-
spects of stouter spirit. Michael Col
Inns had been the military genius of
the independent forces. and while he
lacks the diplomacy of Griffith he has
perhaps more aggressiveness. and it is
altogether improbable that he will
weaken because Of the death of his
leader and associate, particularly as
the insurrection Is practically on its
last legs. So pronounced is the public
support of the Free State organization
that 1t would be folly now to yield
merely because one man has passed.
The cause of Irelands prosperous de-
velopment as an independent dominion
demands a continuation of the policies
Of Griffith.

of an early ending of the strike in the

anthracite in which householders IN
Washington and other eastern cities
are directly and primarily interested.
While recognizing that the great in

President Harding expressed the
situation in a nutshell when Jhe said.
IN his letter to Senator Pepper: Even

must necessarily be serious, but if
there is any further delay we shall be
in danger of nothing short of national
disaster"
Response to the Presidents appeal,

officials of the miners union. was
prompt and commendable for the
spirit shown. The President proposed,
and the operators in inviting the
miners to a conference concurred in
the proposal, that the men be taken

With end of the coal strike in sight,
me question HOW ARISES DIS 10 WHETHER
the railroads will be able to transport
the coal when mining is resumed. But
the country still hopes that President
Harding and his advisers will be able
to bring about a settlement of the rail
strike. Rescue of the mine strike stu
alton from what appeared to be

patient endeavor may accomplish. and
the President is both patient and de

The horrible disclosures Of a year

An Incontrovertible Proposition.

critics: We are not in business for

IF those wheels stop. or even turn but
slowly, we suffer, and others suffer
with US. Give US your confidence and
a-whir. to your advantage as we'll as

Sure. The wheels Of business must
be kept turning, and at this time in
present is, Do business! Play ball. Do
all the business possible, and with a
right good will. The more business
the sooner normalcy will be reached;
and normalcy is the goal.
Say the wage-earners in reply to
their critics: I'VE must live, and sup.
port those dependent on US. according
to American standards Of living. II
is the American boast that labor is
better remunerated in this country
better housed, clothed and fed-than
in any other country. Hence the i'm,
migration statistics. Those standards
must not be lowered-cannot be
lowered without general loss. Not
only the wage-earners, but all others
would lose.'
Sure: Labor must live, and be re.
munerated according to American
standards Of living. To lower those
standards would be to inflict gen.
eral loss.
All Of which is but a repetition of
the incontrovertible. proposition that
capital and labor lean upon each
other: that an injury to one Is an in.
jury to the other. Activity based upon
any other proposition is menacing to

Congress and Conferences.

1t is not good time for conferences
on general subjects at the White
House. The President is occupied with
strike matters. which are complicated
and exacting and presenting new
angles every day.
Still, the members Of the House are
back in town from their stay Of six
weeks at home, which it is supposed
they devoted to the sounding Of public
sentiment on the state of the Union
and political prospects for November.
Did they get line worth while on
constituents up to date on current is-
sues, and communicative about what
Congress should do? Or did they find
them inquisitive and in a sounding
fashion, answer question with ques-
ton. in efforts to ascertain real senti-
ment on Capitol Hill?
The republican representatives will
want word or two with the Presi-
dent. and he will profit by giving them
audience if he can arrange to meet
them. Both he and they are thinking
of November, and anxious to put as
much over before adjournment day
as the situation empowers.
There is not time for all that should
be put over. Some things must wait.
and take chances at the short and
crowded session. But what things?
There is the rub. The President and
Congress must work together to solve
the problem. A hitch might cost the
republicans the election.

An Act of Bolshevism.

AS more details have come regard

by suddenly striking crews feeling on
the subject of this wanton cruelty
deepens. These trains were left at way
stations with practically no warning
and with no supplies. Some hundreds
of people were thus stranded. includ-
food stocks of the little towns-barely
more than tank stops-where the
trains We're resting were quickly ex-
hausted. Acute suffering ensued. 1t
was necessary to send relief trains
guarded by armed men to the rescue
of these marooned people.
The strike Of these operatives was
! entirely unjustified. There was no
specific authority for the walkout.
| True. indication had been given by
some Of the higher up brotherhood
officials that the men might quit work
If and when conditions on the lines
became dangerous by reason OF the
! decrepit rolling stock. There is no evil
dence whatever that such condition
prevails, surely no such emergency as
to warrant the abandonment Of trains
in the desert. 1t is a question of how
far the responsibility for this situation
rests upon those who gave that word
of permission, leaving the matter to
| the judgment Of the crews.
But whoever was to blame the fact
stands that these men running the
trains, charged with a duty which they
owed not only to their employers but
to the people whom they were trans
porting, quit their jobs at midpoint
| for no justifiable reason and exposed
many scores Of people to disease and
death.
Prompt rebuke and disavowal on the
part of the brotherhood leaders have
followed, but these officials have not
succeeded in clearing the public mind
of a feeling that the imarooning Of
these trains was in the way OF a
demonstration Of power. Assuredly il

ing their trains and leaving their

speak of the heavy losses entailed by
delayed journeys, were acting in the
communist style that has so marked
the course of affairs in Russia.
Will these men who quit their trains
with such wanton disregard Of the
safety Of their passengers demand
restoration to duty with full seniority
rights? Have they not forfeited all
consideration for unemployment?

'This fellows car had become quite
overheated and he stopped at one of
the little taps or faucets, as you call
them IN this country. in order to get
water to pour in his radiator. He
was rather stumped for an instant
as to how he would convey the water
from its source to his engine. He
pondered for moment and then
went over to one of the refuse bas-

Mr.. Wilson's Home State.

What if any part will Mr.. Wilson
play in New Jersey this year? 1t is
still described as his home state, al
though his residence now is here in
Washington.
Jersey Blue has not been kind to
Nh Wilson since his assumption of
national democratic leadership. In
jority. and two years ago it pumped
for Mr.. Harding with a majority of
nearly three hundred thousand. Every
tendency is republican today. and both
United States senators are of that
party.
Somehow, Mr.. Wilson has never
been able to. get along with the local
democratic leaders. His first break
was with James Smith. jr. whom he
defeated for the Senate. His next
break was with Mr.. MARITIME. whom he
virtually elected senator. And then
followed his break with James Nu-
gent one of the machine bosses of
he state.

Mr.. Tumulty. with whom he had for

ascendency. Gov. Edwards is slated
for the democratic nomination, for
senator. and it is expected that the
platform will he in consonance with
his extreme views on the wet issue. If,

picture it must be as a wet assisting
