The Declaration OF Independence
asserts the right OF the individual>to
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piDess."
This involves fundamentally the
right of the individual to pursue
these ends. without interference
either from the State from individ-
uals or from organizations so long
| as his quest does not conflict with
the laws Instituted for the protec-
ton Of the similar rights of other
individuals.
This involves further. the right OF
the individual to dispose Of his own
property or his own labor to his
own best advantage. The right OF
individuals in employment to COM
bine in order that they may match
their collective power against the
collected power of capital is under
our laws unquestioned. Indeed no
fair minded person will deny that
such practice is and has been often
necessary TO the protection OF the
rights of individuals otherwise COM
paratively helpless.
If those who work for wages deem
the necessity sufficient they may
combine with such unanimity that
their power in establishing contrac-
ual relations with employers would
be almost absolute. The power OF
labor organizations to control the
conditions and terms Of employ
ment is limited only by the extent to
which they enroll the wage earners
In particular line of employment.
In England this affiliation Of wage
earners with labor organizations il
so complete that the absolutism OF
labor organizations is noted by
American commentators.
The right OF an individual to
join labor organization or refrain |
from Joining under our laws and in
stitutions is clear. Coercion coDsti- !
tutes an infringement OF fundamen-
tai personal rights.
Bodies of men united in an or |
ganization may work or refrain from |
work as they may see fit. They may |
cease to labor in a body, no matter
with what incidental injury to their .

ed through the agencies of our rep
resentative government. This power
has been fiouted by organized groups
welding a power all out of proper
ton to their numbers until the pub
lie is becoming conscious of their
oppressive aggressions. The people
as a whole are demanding some
consideration of their rights and in
terests at the hands of their gov
erDment.
The people as a whole are first
of all interested in the maintenance
of law and order, the supremacy of
the law and the upholding of indiv-
idual rights. When law and order
break down, liberty is lost. At this
time when the public welfare is be-
ing sacrificed in behalf OF the de-
mands OF certain interests refusing
to accept the decisions of tribunals
which have been created by and are
representative of the whole public.
the people are ready to go behind
officials who know the nature of an
official oath and are not so dead to
the sense of duty or so cowardly in
its performance that they are ready
to compromise with lawlessness
wherever IL appears.
The public is growing weary of
being threatened with loss of fuel
and transportation and other Deces-
sites by groups of men who no
where along the line take into ac-
count the rights and interests OF
anyone but themselves, who refuse
to submit their grievances to public
determination. and who in many
instances are led by open or covert
revoiutionaries really trying to dis
credit and subvert the fundamentals
of our form of government in favor
of socialism or some other form of
class domination.
This is a time for deliberation
and restraint in speech and deed.
but above all it is a time when every
American citizen should dedicate
himself TO the fundamentals of our
national faith, TO the protection of |
our institutions and to the preser- !
vatioD of law and order against all |
foes, foreign and domestic.

EDITORIAL OPINION

At the Genoa conference and at
the Hague conference the financial
genius no less than the leading
craftsmanship of the Old World has
been trying TO make the representa-
tives of Russian Sovietism realize, or
rather confess, that no borrower
could expect TO get a loan from any
body while denying to the lender
the bounden duty of debtors to pay
their debts.
on the other hand. international
bankers no less than statesmen have
sought to have the allied Powers
come to a unanimous agreement on
the fundamental truth that interna-
tional lenders could not be induced
to lend money to Germany while
the need 10 provide security for the
repayment of the loan was being
denied, not by Germany but by some
of the Allies, wishing Germany TO
get the gold so as to be able to
make reparations payments but not
being willing to let Germany satisfy
the lenders as to the security for
the loan.
Russia has failed so far TO get her
loan and Germany has failed so
far TO get her loan because OF pre-
cisely the same principles involved
except that Russian Sovietism denies
for Itself while allied objection
denies for Germany the very requi-
site on which depends now and al
WAYS will depend either loan.
How long can such a joint situa-
ton. so to speak. stand the strain
of necessity. not TO mention the
weight of common sense? Surely
not much longer.

ordered that the manufacture OF
poison gases be discontinued except
in limited quantities for expert

The use OF poison gas has always
been particularly repugnant to
Americans. We have inherited in
this country the tradition of open
fighting. OF matching man against
man. This necessarily implies a
certain idea Of sportsmanship which
is revolted by methods that give the

GERMAN AND RUSSIAN LOANS.

It is possible and II IS just as well
to look at the German situation and
the Russian situation. in respect Of
the outside help needed for each.
from one and the same angle.
Germany may or may not be in so
desperate an economic condition as
some eyes see her, but no one can
question that in any event a huge
international gold loan would be of
great help to Germany. Being OF
great help TO Germany II would he

matter of the. Preparations payments
Germany would thus be enabled to
pay. whereas now there is no allied
country that thinks Germany will
pay. or for a long time to come can
be made to pay, more than a neglig-
ible amount OF the reparations due
in gold.
Russia. as a restored member of
the family OF nations. may or may
not be so essential to the welfare
of the Old World as some minds
think she is. Russia may or may
not be the food hope of Europe.
But no one will doubt that Russia.

ing her share in the common work

STAGGERING COST OF STRIKES.

From the New York Tribune.
1t has been estimated that TO-
100000 working hours are wasted
every day because OF existing strikes.
At a moderate appraisal this means
a money loss of 100000 a day. or
Of sS0,000,000 a week. Thirty mil
lion a week is billion and half
year.
The actual loss OF working hours
and wages, however. is but a small
part of the cost of the strikes to
the country.
The coal strike alone, in curtail-
ment of production and lack of fuel.
VIII levy a tax on industry many
times greater than any tax the gov
eminent would dare impose.
Every day that the railroad strike
continues losses are sustained by
business that would be beyond be-
lief could they be accurately esti-
mated.
Merchants are already suffering
from the effects of the railroad
strike through late shipments and
the tardy arrival of employees due to
the delays or suspension OF commu-
tation trains.
But continuance of present strikes
will cost billions of dollars. and
these billions of dollars. which come
directly out of the pockets OF the
people, will have to be made up
If they can ever be made up-by re-
doubled effort in the future.
With more than a million men not
working. the expenses of peace are
greater than the cost of war.
Whatever may be the merits of
the many controversies between en-
ployers and employees. It is certain
that the chief losers viii be the gen
eral public. Yet some say the
public has no right to intervene.
