The Other Fellows Ok

John /. Lewis, as president Of the
United Mine Workers, by refusing
the offer Of the anthracite coal op.
orators to arbitrate, greatly weakens
the case Of the same John !. Lewis
who has strongly attacked the btu
minous operators for their refusal to
arbitrate.
West Of tie Alleehanies Mr. Lewis
is an arbitrator. East Of the Ale
ghanies he is not. His opinions
quite as much as do the opinions Of
the two groups Of operators who
similarly contradict themselves,
seem to depend on meridians Of lon
gitude. The only point on which
there seems to be unanimous accord
on both sides is in rejecting the other
fellows proposal.
Each group. whether 1t be the
bituminous miners or the bituminous
operators. or either the anthracite
miners or operators Of the anthra-
cite mines, is willing TO air its own
grievances before the public, but
does not relish the idea Of It's oppo-
nents having a similar opportunity
Could anything show more clearly
than this deadlock the need Of gov
eminent Intervention? The propo-
sails and counter proposals and ap-
peals and pronouncements Of the
! last eleven weeks amount 20 nothing
y but airy words. There has been Sc
far no indication Of willingness on
the part Of either side 70 meet the
other on common ground. Nor has
either brought forth anything &c
show why commission with powers
20 investigate and recommend is not
the natural solution. Such q com
mission would, Of course, consider
not only the question Of wages but
also costs, prices and profits.
The Administration has so far
gone no further than to labor 10 pre-
vent profteering. But a dictum
that prices mus not rise in no way
brings nearer the end Of the strike
And unless the end appears soon
this dictum VIII be as Ineffective in
keeping down prices as the discus
sions Of the anthracite miners and
operators have been in settling the
strike.
There is no prospect Of bringing
the strike to a close If there is not
government Intervention.

Shooting Very Wild

From a protectionist point Of view
10 is hard TO see what Senator Me
Cumber and other Senators are driv-
ing at in exploiting alleged colossal
profits made by importers Of and
dealers in cuckoo clocks, razors,
straw hats and other specialties
According to the exhibit made in the
Senate on Wednesday. these articles
are being sold at advances running
as high as 2,240 per cent on the i'm
port price.
The Senator may well pause TO re-
fleet where his argument lands him.
Men and concerns engaged here
IN vending foreign goods equal in
virtue the domestic manufacturers
Of similar goods. One element
may he assumed 10 be about on a
level with the other. If competition
does not restrain the vast army Of
vendors Of merchandise Il can hard
~ restrain lesser number Of manu-
facturers who are more closely or
ganized. The Senator, in his eager
ness to bring the importers and
dealers under suspicion, has brought
the manufacturers under similar
suspicion. In effect he says that the
manufacturers will enrich them
selves behind the shelter Of excessive
duties.
Equally ruinous 70 the Senator's
pretended demonstration is the
query: "Why have not domestic
manufacturers brought their goods
20 the market and taken advantage
o. the price level he holds is cstab-
lished by greedy importers and re-
tailors?' The Senator's contention
is not common sense-not even
plausible nonsense.
The theory Of a protective duty is
that it equalizes the costs Of the
article produced at home and the
article produced abroad and brought
here for sale Rational protection
ASSUMES that competition here
among domestic producers and be-
tween domestic producers and i'm
porters will establish a natural mar
kct price and that this market price
will he fair to the consumer as well
as to the American manufacturer
and the labor which he employs.
Destroy this argument, as Senator
McCumber attempts to do, and the
rrotectionist case explodes.
No equalization seems to have
been attained in the cases cited by
Mr.. McCumber. The foreign article,
according TO him, is sold at a mon
strously enhanced price. The for
eiFn producer courteously rcfrains
from undertaking local market
prices and allows the American
manufacturer a 1000 per cent pro
lection. This is preposterous. Yet
at this absurdity he arrives, with the
implication that the manufacturer is
already a profteer and needs no ad.
ditional protection.
Senator McCumber has been i'm
posed on. His "show" does not help
his tariff bill All it does is to open
the door TO Democratic criticism
Already the welkin begins to ring
with the shout that the chairman Of
the Senate's Finance Committee ad-
mits that American producers are
/ protected to the extent Of 1000 per
/ cent.

Potentia's Premium on Honesty

Advertising should be good news. "
When so, it is just as much a public
service to print it as it is to offer
the public sincere editorials and the
news per Sc. In fact, such advcr-
'tising seems much more directly
serviceablc and educativc than the
news Of domestic infelicities, acct
dents and crimes.
The advertisement Of well
known food product which appears
under the Potentia seal, used for
the first time in to-day's issue,
breaks all previous records, we be-
lieve, as a comprehensive effort to
put a premium on honesty in bust
ness relations and strengthen con-
fidencc in advertised statements.
The Potentia corporation is an cleo
tive organization free from politics
or personal bias, automatically con-
trolled by a series Of checks and
balances. II offers as nearly as
could be devised the adequate ma
chinery for the national and inter
national underwriting Of integrity
in business relations.
The manufacturer defines, as Mr..
Bennett has done with regard to his
whole wheat products, the essential
characteristics which establish their
specific worth and quality and bonds
himself to maintain these. Potentia
holds the bond, acting as an inter
mediary between the producer and
consumer. Unlike some other plans
Of this sort, It is democratic, not
exclusive; any one may apply for
the seal, and bonded merit is the
only requirement.
The same principle underlies The
Tribune's policy Of guaranteed adj
yertising and the Institutes seal
Of approval, only here The Tribune
does the underwriting. While the
first object is to protect and guide
the buyer, by-products, which are
equally important, are the protec-
tion Of the manufacturer. who has
integrity and pride in his product,
from unfair competition and the
tendency TO raise the standard Of
quality, which is steadily beaten
down when the few get away" with
false representations and undersell.
Just at this moment such a plan
is Of special Importance in re-estab-
fishing foreign trade relations. IN
surance Of delivery at distant ports
Of goods representing exactly the
specifications under which they are
sold will certainly promote that
active confidence which is the life
Of good business.
Few people, We think, would ques-
ton the dcsirability Of such an
organization. All would admit that
it is a grand gesture in the right
direction. But the outstanding point
here is that sound organization and
practical business acumen have been
brought to bear 10 protect this effort
from exploitation by self-interest
on the ore hand and from the
futility Of visionary idealism on the
other This point is emphasized by
Bishop Lloyd in his interview. Faith
without works; vision without prac-
teal contacts with everyday need,
and conditions; the airship idea
without good mechanics and skillful
piloting-all crash 20 earth and arc
vain.
The idea terminating in Potentia
is fundamentally sound, its objective
is practical and constructive. Whole.
some fruit for the nourishment Of
healthy business conditions should
be borne, and as all are benefited,

Unless we do this, We will be obliged,

bring the dream Of the Anti-Saloon
League into reality and assign to every

More Truth Than Poetry

We frequently have wondered.
Since first a song we made,
II possibly we'd Numbered
In writing for the trade.
Our pay we have collected
Like merchants in n mart.
And utterly neglected
Art.
Il might have been more prudent
II, in our youthful days,
We'd made ourselves a student
or early classic plays
If we had had the backing
OF that dynamic bunch
Our stuff might not be lacking
Punch.
Yet. MIR. Shaw says writer's
OF every sort and kind
Are all shortsighted blightcrs
If art is on their mind.
Leave art 10 the producer,
Says he; Upon this earth
Il hasn't any use or
Worth. "
So this advice wei follow
While we hold out to write,
And though our songs ring hollow,
And though our verse sounds
trite.
Our income will be stable,
And no one can deny
We're copying an able

CHIEF SPORT OF
 RUSSIA MENACED
Soviets Tired of Deficit They Must Meet to Keep
 Ballet Going
By Associated Press

Moscow. January 7-Russia's greatest sport. the ballet is threat ened with extinction. The various municipal soviets are tiring of the deficit which they have to make up in order to keep the operas and the pallets going. Ballet and opera al terhate in the big theatres. The bal let pays, but doesn't make enough profit to carry the opera and the great orchestras necessary to satis fy the music-loving Russians.
 Ballerines are the subjects of end less discussion
 Families break up over differences about the merits of Smirnova, Gelser. Gerdt and others who are now hold ing the spotlight in Petrograd and Moscow. To a lesser degree the same battle rages at Mazan and Kiev and odessa. Just at the moment Lukem is the hot favorite in Petrograd and Gelser in Moscow.
 Youth and beauty do not count with Russian ballet fans. It matters not if the ballerna is old. In fact, she generally has to be fairly mature be- fore she can master the intricate steps upon which Russians give points. She may have muscles which give her the appearance of strong lady in the circus and still fascinate Russian spectators if she can spin fast enough on her toes and shift her weight from one big toe to the other at just the moment prescribed in the rules.
 At first a foreigner is inclined to admire the beautiful young neophytes who dance mazourkas, and have all the charm which grace and flowing 1 white robes can impart to youth dancing to the music of a superb or chestra. That is the result of utter ignorance.
 Geiser. the strongly featured player of the Moscow circuit, recently fell on the stage and had to beat a retrea before catcalls and howls which made 1t impossible for her to reappear for fortnight Russian ballet fans are as merciless as the crowds at a span ish bull fight. There are no ex- cuses for failure.

BANKRUPTCY FACES
 CITIES IN GERMANY
Rv Assocjated Press

Berlin, January IA number or German cities have informed the cen tral government they are threatened with bankruptcy because of the rapid depreciation of German money, and have asked advice and assistance.
 The fall of the mark disrupted the city budgets and, on the heels or changing money values, labor came with demands for more wages, prices of materials increased enormously, and utilities were operated at such heavy losses that the municipalities were plunged deep. into debt. The majority of tax levies are insufficient to meet the running expenses of the towns and the portion of taxes due the government cannot be paid.
 NThe central government. also Tn urgent need of money, has answered by increasing it's own budget, which augments the burdens on the cftles which complain they are already too heavy to bear.
