Strikers Who Win, but Lose

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There are thousands of strikes
every year for increased pay and re-
duced hours, and no increased pay or
reduced hours secured by strikes ever
benefited labor, but rather injured it.
Labor's per diem is not paid out of
secret gold mine or out Of past ac-
cumulations OF capital, as seems to be
assumed, but Is paid out of labor's
present and future per diem produc-
tion, and just AS surely as labor's per
diem production cost is increased or
per diem production output reduced by
reduced working hours labor's con.
sumption cost or budgetary expenses
are correspondingly increased. There
Is no escape from this.

Initiating Mine Wages

The proposal of the mine work
ers that the anthracite wage scale
as of April / last shall be continued
until April /, 1924, is unwise and
unfair. If carried out it will con-
tinue the artificial imitation of coal
prices during period when all
other prices are going through a
natural readjustment, and it will
place the anthracite mine workers
in a class even more favored than
their brethren in the bituminous
industry.
The adjustment in the bituminous
industry is virtually a victory for
the miners. The very fact that the
old wage scale is to be maintained
until April 1, 1928, is sufficient
proof. That this was inevitable,
however, was apparent when both
sides were so long unable to agree.
The excuse for the continuation OF
such scale is that time is needed
while the commission decides upon
the new scale to be effective next
year.
There is no reason, however, why
such scale cannot be settled with
in the next six months. If this can
be done in the bituminous industry,
with it's raany complex variations
in producing and in working condl-
tions, it certainly can be done in
the anthracite idustry, which is
largely localized and is better or
ganized than the bituminous.
All of this is doubtless clear to
Mr.. Lewis. 1t is, of course, his duty
to further the interests of the
workers. But he must surely know,
that the time is long past for max
ing unreasonable demands. The
new wage scale should be nego-
tlated as soon as possible. To de.
lay putting it into effect until 1924
if to make the home-cooking and
home-heating consumers pay for
placing the anthracite coal workers
| on favored wage scale.

revision. AS was their art SO was
their life. They were the most
sociable people that ever lived, al
ways foregathering for talk or ak
ercise or debate. That they lived,
and lived richly, seems hard to con-
test. And they invented modera-
tion, though meaning by it some-
thing more vivid than that particu-
lar word connotes. Nothing in
excess" was their negative state
ment of the truth; it was supple
mented by word that the trans
lators despair Of turning into Eng
lish, yielding something Of tenn
perateness and discretion but more
rounded and inspiring than either.
Perhaps we can get the right
lesson out Of Mr.. Stewards moder-
alton il we salt it with the Greek
zest for life and beauty and insist
that a well-rounded life is she goal
rather than rigid, goose-step
down the middle of the road. If
you do anything to extravaganza
you damage your development in
other directions. That is why mod
Grafton is necessary to complete
life. But if you interpret modera-
ton as the doing of everything
gently and half-heartedly you never
get chance to develop at all; you
will become a dull and leaden
thing, anything but golden. A hun
dred or a thousand years of such
living would do no good to any
hody, least Of all yourself.

In The Wake of the Albatross By Glenn H Curtis

(The comments of Mr.. Curtiss on the
nsotorless aiaplane are of special inter
est since he aoas one of the pioneer
american erpeyimenters in this field, in
aohich he IS still most actipe He is
chairman Of the executive committee of
the Cartiss Aeroplane and Motor Cor
poration and member of the Aero
nautical Chamber of Commerce of Amer
ioa.
The astounding success of the Ger
man Heutzen in remaining aloft in a
motorless airplane for two hours and
ten seconds opens the door to new
phase in aeronautical development.
This achievement may be regarded
as direct result of the restrictions
in aviation imposed on Germany by
the terms of the Versailles treaty.
Necessity is ever the mother of in
vention, and when the vanquished were
told by the victors that aerial expert
mentation could be carried on only
with low-powered aircraft the inevi-
table impetus was given to gliding
and soaring fight.
Early GIiders
At the beginning Of the twentieth
century many inventors in various
parts of the world were building and
trying out gliders. 1t was the needful
preface to motor-driven fight. In 1907
we constructed and flew several gliders
of fimsy fabric and wood construc-
tion. Showing off from the 3Oo-foot
hills in the vicinity of Hammondsport,
N. Y, we glided safely and success
fully for some seconds. Our gliders
were equipped with one elevator simply
and had but little inherent stability.
We were then chiefly interested-as
were most of our contemporaries
solving the problem of control. At that
early date this was accomplished often
by shifting the body.
The development and application of
the internal combustion engine to air
navigation turned the attention of en-
gineers to speed, and this interest was
intensified by the World War, with a
consequent Improvement in mobility of
all types. Speed, since the ending Of
the war, has lost none of its attraction
for US, as well as for the other Allied
nations, and in the United States, Eng
land, France and Italy splendid ad-
vances have been made in overcoming
resistance and inertia.

/ But The Germans, having been de-

ideas along the lines of great size and
swiftness, set about the less spectacu-
lar but very significant problem of
designing low-speed. h:gh-lift aircraft.
Experimentation along this line has
heen going on since 1919, though the
flights last year in the Rhone Valley
were the first public demonstrations.
The Germans, unhampered as we were
twenty years ago by imperfect con-
troll and possessing practical knowi-

nothing can equal practical full-size

We are now at stage in aeronau-
tics in which the buzzard and the alba
tross appear prominently. The buz-
zard is a magnificent soarer. In fiat
country, where the buzzard is most fire.

face of the earth in waves and some
times in spirals. Frequently I have

stinct, seek and find Judgment" in one
Of these spirals and thus be literally
lifted cut of sight.
Natures Model
Over the water the albatross is king
Of the air, He is superior even to the
buzzard. The buzzard is comparatively
lightly loaded, sometimes only one-half
pound to each square foot of wing sur
face. The albatross has a wing load
ing Of more than three pounds square
foot.
The German and French experiments
have been confined to hilly areas. I
believe that the greater field lies over
the water. The albatross with little
effort takes off from the crest OF a
wave and rides the winds for hours.
If we can learn the secret of the alba
tross's instinct we too can soar at
will over the surface of the sea.

Let Justice Be Done

The pubHcs interest in the case Of the amoroudy inclined young Swiss
butler of the exclusive Rolling Rock Club probably was heightened by the
tact that It followed so closely upon the heels Of that international livery
table romance in which one or Probsts countrymen and the grand
laughter Of the richest man in the world figure. OF course, on top of this
remarkable coincident it was a corking good story-the tale of a foreign
.evant in a mlionares club falling in love with a rich mans daughter,
Ind then being shanghaied to a point Of deportation, where he is held as
y lunadc.
But the very fact that every effort is being made to hurry Probst out
3f the country IS a undesirable alien apparently because he dared to
presume upon democratic ideals to such a extent that he would make
love to one Of our millionaire daughters, has served to arrest public at
IGNITION and even sympathy is apparent. Whether the young man actually
Is insane is a thing for the courts to decide-nOt for a group of exclusive
kubmen who resent his attention to a fair member of their circle.
The FIT Wayne JOurnalGazette believes the country is interested to

she State; he was the victim of the Rolling Rockers. He was shanghaied,
kidnapped, ticked and hoodwinked by an extralegal process"
