A Change of Heart

The executive committee OF the
American Federation of Labor has
dropped the idea of calling "gen-
eral strike" as a protest against the
Attorney Generals temporary in
;unction. Instead, it viii go to the
courts and to Congress fer Its
remedy.
This is reaction toward common
sense. A general strike" con-
Quoted by the Federation of Labor,
could not be general. 1t would rep
resent war by small minority of
workers against the great majority.
The largest single labor group in the
United States is the farming group.
What sympathy could the farmers
have with a general strike" to
hamper enforcement Of the laws
against violence, intimidation and
conspiracies for the purpose Of In
terrupting interstate traffic?
The farmer wants his crops car
ried to market. He has no reason
for helping strikers who want to tie
up transportation because their war
wages have been clipped little by
the Railroad Labor Board. The
farmers wages have been cut by
economic pressure almost to pre-war
levels. The rail shopmen are ask
ing him and every other sufferer
from postwar defation to assist
them in maintaining an abnormal
wage scale. There can be no equity
in this from the community point of
view. A general strike" to mulct
the public for the benefit of SMALL
privileged group would be an ab-
surdity The great mass of workers
would not engage in it or tolerate it.
The courts are open to all. At
the beginning of the shopmen's
walk-out its leaders said that the
Labor Boards decision violated the
Esch-C -Cummins law. Why didn't
they attack it on that ground? They
could have petitioned for an injunc-
ton. But they preferred to order a
strike and to try to prevent other
workmen from taking the strikers
places. The latter and their sympa-
thizers have sought not only to keep
rolling stock from being repaired in
the shops but also to damage cars
and locomotives in service, to derail
trains and to injure crews and
passengers.
No government can stand for law
lessness of that sort. The Daugherty
injunction may have been faulty
drawn in certain details, as Mr.
Borah and others have pointed out
But its main purpose was sound. II
was protective of the public's right
to uninterrupted rail service. The
Federation of Labor is free to chal.
lenge the injunction and ask it's
amendment. 1t is free to urge Con.
gress to abolish the Labor Board
and to weaken the laws against con.
spiracy to interrupt interstate traf-
fic. Here it is on solid ground, fol
a majority has the right to repeal
laws as we'll as to make them.
But it would be on unsafe ground
even for itself-if it invoked q
general strike" to support lin.
tied strike which had no excuse and
was clearly opposed to the public
welfare. The unions are entitled to
respect when they go into the courts
to protect what they think are thei,
rights. But they would become
odious and impossible if they sought
to defend by coercion and anti.
social activities special privileges
which can be enjoyed only at the ex.

Secretary Denby's return from the
Orient is hailed with great interest
and encouragement In naval circles
His visit to Japan with the class Of 'S1
from the Naval Acadamy will result
in great good not only 30 the navy
but to the country as well.
There was no excuse for condemn
ing this cruise as junket. Such ac-
tion was inspired by political and per-
sonal pettiness. The transport Hem
derson did not make this trip solely
for the Secretary and the Naval
Academy graduates who accepted the
friendly invitation of their classmate,
Admiral Uriu, Of the Japanese navy,
This ship was due to visit the Pacific
and the Philippines in the regular
naval duty of replacement Of personnel
and transportation Of supplies to the
East. The Secretary and the officers
paid their own personal expenses. The
United States spent not one dollar nor
expended one ton of coal for other
than government purposes.
The Junket OF 1919
The history Of the previous ad-
ministration Of the Navy Department
gives us an account of a real simon
pure naval junket-a junket of junkets
In the summer of 19t9--the year be-
fore the Presidential election-the
then Secretary Of the Navy divided
the battle feet in defiance Of naval
strategy and took one half of it, to-
gether with an armada" composed
largely Of useless ships. to the Pacific.
Naval officers appropriately dubbed it
political caravan! Thousands Of
tons of coal and many millions Of gold
dollars were wasted. The Secretary
towed the Pacific Fleet along the Coast
behind his political chariot, making
speeches everywhere, promising naval
bases to every seaport from San Diego
TO Puget Sound-a beautiful rally to
win those states for the Democratic
party. 1t was gem of junket, and
yet, strange to say, the press failed to
condemn it and not even Republican
in Congress rose to fmpeach it! This
hagrant waste of many millions was
ignored, though it was strategically
stupid.
Secretary Denby's cruise was NOT
made just previous to Presidential

TEST FOR WRITERS OF PROSE
One Who Can Describe Clearly Proper
Way OF Tying Knot Is Master
Of Language.

Ropes more than any other subject
are, think, test Of mans power
of exposition in prose. II you can des-
cribe clearly the proper way Of making
this or that knot, then you are a
master Of the English tongue. You
are not only a master-you are
sign, a portent, a new discoverer, an
exception among your fellow men, q
unique fellow.
For no one yet in this world surely
has attained to lucidity in this most
difficult branch Of all expression I
find over and over again in the pas
sages of those special books which
talk of ropes, such language as, This
is a very useful knot and Is made as
follows: blight is taken in the stand
ing part and is then run over right
handedly, that is with the sun, then
under the running part, and so through
both times and hauled tight by the two
ends"
But if any man should seek to save
his life on a dark night in a sudden
gust Of wind by this description he
would lose it. He would drown.
