All Other States,
Labor Day.

This is a crucial day for labor in the
United States, a day of test and trial
rather than a day of rejoicing. Set
apart by law as the time for nation
wide consideration Of labor as factor
in American welfare, it comes this
year at time Of grave issues, when
the most serious questions are pend
ing. Doubtless in their expressions to-
day speakers at rallies and meetings
of labor organizations will discuss
these issues, before sympathetic audi
ences, in terms that perhaps will give
offense to some who are not partisan
to the persistent conflict between capi-
tai and labor, a conflict that should be
settled in common sense and in equity
for the sake of both participants.
Naturally the injunction issued the
other day at Chicago. renewable
week from today, becomes the major
topic of consideration. After the first
shock Of surprise has passed it is being
recognized by leaders Of labor that the
injunction is, in fact, not menace to
organization so long as the law is re-
spected and obeyed. On the other
hand, it is recognized that in some re-
spects the injunction perhaps is too
sweeping, and will probably be modi-
fled by the court. Unwise talk OF
general strike, started at once upon
the issuance of the preliminary order.
is no longer heard, though today it
may be repeated in the speeches at la
bor gatherings. Yet there is no appre-
hension on this score. American labor
is too sensible to be swept into dis
astrous defiance of the government of
the United States by Incorporate talk.
The most important thought today
is that bearing upon means of lessen
ing the losses of labor incident to ef-
forts to secure betterments. The strike
is the poorest means of all. 1t costs
everybody heavily, and those who
strike the heaviest. In the long run
ir does not pay. 1t retards industry
and national development 1t Is a con-
fession of failure, a failure in which
organized labor as well as capital is at
fault.
Therefore, the hope is that this La
Dor day will be the starting point of
a new effort toward equitable adjust
ments, strikeless settlements, peaceful
and progressive processes Of maintain
ing working relations. 1t is the duty
of all the factors in the industrial
equation TO work to this end. to put
aside prejudice and partisanship, in
the hope of reaching the common
ground upon which both capital and
labor can stand in harmony.

Tying Mr. Bryan's Tongue.
This is taken from an Indian,

This Is taken from an Indianapolis
special to The Star. published yester-
day:
1t is understood that an effort viii
be made to have William Jennings
Bryan speak in the democratic CAM
paign. There may be some opposition
to the plan. 1t is said there would be
no difference of opinion on the ques-
tion If Mr. Bryan could be confined to
the tariff. 1t is realized that Mr..
Bryan has a large following in Indi-
ana. Recently. when he spoke in In
dianapolis, an audience of 10000
crowded into the Cadle Tabernacle to
listen to him. 1t is realised also. how
ever. that Mr.. Bryan speaks plainly
and that his views are not always
what might be regarded as conserva-
tive.
Mr.. Bryan is orthodox on the tariff
question. 1t was on that question he
was first elected to Congress. and as a
compliment to his success he was at
once assigned to the ways and means
committees compliment ordinarily
bestowed only on men Of experience in
legislation. It was later-after he had
retired from Congressional he SUBJ
ordinated the tariff to the silver ques-
ton, and on the silver question sought
the presidency.
Mr.. Bryan can adjust his tongue to
the tariff with ease. He still subscribes
to the old democratic slogan of a tariff
for revenue only. But, for that mat
ter, he can adjust his tongue with ease
to any subject Of popular interest.
What the democratic managers in
Indiana have in mind is keeping Mr..
Bryan off the prohibition question. His
views on the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act clash with those
of many Hoosier democrats, and an
expression OF them on the stump in
the campaign might cost the party
some votes.
Can his tongue be tied? Will he con-
sent to play that game? He refused in
1920. Considering Gov. Cox wet,
and resenting the refusal Of the San
Francisco convention to commit itself
on the dry question, he absented him
self from the stump during the whole
of that years campaign.

Secretary Denby Returns.
From San Francisco:

The four-power treaty has cleared

said today on his arrival here on the
transport Henderson from his visit to
China, Japan. the Philippines and
Hawaii The Washington conference
and the treaty resulted in better un-
derstanding between Japan and China,
according to Secretary DENLY. and
promised to bring about improved
conditions in both countries. He said
Japan showed every intention Of Hv-
ing up to the provisions of the treaty.
He declared street crowds in Japan
showed a more friendly attitude to-
ward America than formerly.
Surely "a better understanding be-
tween Japan and China" was desira-
BILE on every account. Their relations
had grown to be a disturbing factor in
world affairs. The two countries as
sess for so much in the oriental equa-
ton, a good understanding between
them has a world value, and its estab-
lishment is cause for world congratu-
lation.
Even more important was better
understanding between Japan and
America. Their relations had grown
to be a disturbing factor in world af.
fairs. The former one of the leading
nations of the eastern hemisphere. and
the latter the leading nation of the
western hemisphere. there was abun-
dant reason for bringing them closer
together. This. Secretary DENLY
thinks, has been done.
The Washington conference. there
fore. which contributed much to these
two results. has abundantly justified
itself. and President Harding, who
called the meeting, has a great accom-
plishment to his credit. In time, in
fiuenced In measure by these results,
a better understanding among all ma
tions will be reached, and then the
hates produced by the recent war will
be abated. and prosperity restored to

has for a number of years been con-
tributing heavily to the gasoline bills

whose only claim on them consisted
In the fact that he was lacking in
legs.
Sitting on little plank with rollers
under it, he parked himself in vari-
Gus sections of the buster streets and
held out a hat, into which the soul

cred nickels and dimes, quarters and
bills.
At the end of each perfect day he
rolled himself along to an expensive
hotel. attired himself in gay array,
put on a nice pair of artificial legs
and took dinner with his wife and
two children. After dinner he called
up his chauffeur, who brought his
car from q nearby garage, and the
whole family took a drive through
the park.
The man toiled not. neither did he
spin. Yet he never required to get
his meals at a bread line, and he
blooded city in the world a handsome
livelihood merely for the asking.

Brakes Slipped, One Dead!

Niagara has taken a heavy toll in
human life, but never before In such
strange circumstances as in the acci.
dent Of yesterday. when a motor car,
slipping its brakes, rolled over the
edge Of the gorge and fell 200 feet,
killing its single occupant, . woman.
The car had been parked on the grass
near the cliff while its driver and three
Of his passengers had gone to arrange
for a permit to visit Canada. when the
car began to move, and, despite the ef-
forts Of bystanders to hold 1t back, it
plunged over.
Like most accidents, this points to
a dangerous condition which probably

parked car is. Of course. supposed to
remain stationary, but it should never
be possible to park it In such way
that If it should slip 1t viii move into
danger. The edge Of the gorge at the
point where this car went over il not
protected in any way by guard rail or
wall. There is nothing in tho way Of
sign Of prohibition to stop motorists
from parking their cars there. Pos
siblya familiarity with the great cstn-
ract dulls the sense Of peril, and very
likely this driver had no thought Of
any possible chance of its slipping.

The Anthracite Agreement.

AltnOuSh every Qay is precious IN
the mining of coal, the anthracite
forces will not. under the agreement
reached in Philadelphia on Saturday,
return to work until a week from to-
day. Red tape has to be unwound be-
fore the agreement is formally ratified.
First of all it was approved by the
miners wage scale committee in Phila-
Nlelphia, and it will be necessary to sub
nit it to a meeting Of the delegates
Of three districts at Wilkes-Barre on
Thursday. The decision which is to be
anticipated will be communicated to
the men presumably on Friday, and
port to duty, nearly five months and a
half from the time they laid down their
tools.
The agreement itself is a compro-
mise between the proposal Of the oper-
ators and that of the miners. The for
mer wanted to continue the old scale
till the 1st Of April, and the latter in
sisted upon a continuation for year
beyond that date. The settlement ap-
proximately split the difference, the old
scale to run until September 1 next.
The public is Immediately concerned
in the effect of this selection of date.
Inasmuch as great percentage Of the
coal consumed in domestic use during
the winter is mined during the sum-
mer it follows that the bulk Of the
supply for the winter of 1924 will be
produced at the old rate OF wages.
Contracts will be written on that basis.
consumers who stock their bins in the
summer as much as it will cost them
this fall. If the wages are lowered by
agreement reached meanwhile to take
effect September 1, 1928. only those
who buy their coal after that date will
get the benefit Of the lower prices per-
mitted by the reduction.
In one respect, however, the extern
sion of the date from April 1 to Sep
tember l, 1929 is Of public advantage.
1t insures anthracite mining during
those FIVE months without interruption
and, therefore, the production Of a
large percentage Of the seasons sup
ply. If the operators and miners are
unable to agree upon a new scale by
the 1st of September, 1928. and a strike
ensues, the country will at least have
been supplied in large measure. and
the acute suffering incident to COM
averted.
But it is the earnest hope Of the peo-
pie that there will be no hitch in the
adjustment of new scale, and that
means will have been adopted in the
course of the next year to insure a set
tlement without suspension Of work.
That should come as a result Of the
costly struggle Of these past i've
months.

The Greek Disaster.

1t is impossible at present to meas.
ure the extent and effect Of the Greek
disaster in Asia Minor, where the Turk
ish forces have inflicted a crushing de-
feat upon the army Of King Constan-
tine. Judging from all reports, both
from Greek and Turkish sources, the
Turks have split the Greek line COM
pletely in twain. practically annihilat-
ing the northern group and forcing
the southern group to retreat, aban.
doning immense quantities Of supplies
and munitions. 1t would seem impos-
sible for the Greeks to rally from this
defeat. Constantine had placed in the
field practically all Of his potential
forces. The collapse Of his campaign
leaves him In a precarious situation at
Athens. Already reports circulate Of
the impending collapse Of the minis
try. But that is the least serious Of
the possible results Of the disaster IN

eral years. 1t gained strong headway
during the regime Of Venizalos. but
the reaction against his government,
which was marked by much gross
blundering and extravagance. not only
restored the exiled monarch but
checked the democratic tendency. Now
Constantine, who on his return was
greeted with tremendous acclaim. has
plunged his country into a misfortune
far greater than any Venizelos in
voked. and the memory Of his pro-.
Germanism, dulled by the victory OF
1913 and the arousal Of royalist pa
triotism incident to his restoration. is
now revived.
Yet there are even graver conse.
quences within the possibilities Of the
Greek defeat than a domestic over
turn in Greece. The Turkish success
precipitates a situation in Asia Minor
acutely menacing the stability Of the
entente. France and England have
been at cross-purposes in that region.
1t is believed, though not established.
that England has been supporting the
Greek program, while France has en-
couraged the Turkish. 1t is now noted
as significant that the Turkish victory
was largely made possible by the use
of numbers of French "seventy-fves."

government at Angora is now more

MORE than one individual has.
lVl during the last week. thanked
his lucky stars that the eighteenth
amendment is in force, and the reason
Of this gratefulness is because an
enterprising firm on 18th street has
been demonstrating a new electric
fan, one of the kind that distributes
air to all portions Of the room and
causes a thorough circulation Of the
air. Walking down the street the
other day my attention was attracted
to a crowd in front of a window and
II must confess that it would have
been most disconcerting to any one
who might the night before have i'm
bibed too freely. In fact, If the act
which bears Representative Volstead's
name had not been In force there
would, no doubt, have been a run on
the nearby drug stores for bromides
with which to sooth shaken nerves.
The fan in question operates on

face toward the ceiling, 1t makes a

jumps backward, 1t shimmies toward
the floor, it prances forward, 1t dives
downward, then it wiggles over to
the left only to change It's mind and

The Pope's Automobile.

No wonder the Italian authorities
were a bit embarrassed in assigning
a license number to the Pope's motor
car. No Pope ever had an automobile
before: nothing belonging to the oc-
cupant of ST. Peters had ever forced
itself so determinedly into the pur-
view of the civil authorities Of Rome.
That car left Milan an ordinary
machine: now it has an International
significance.
With true Italian finesse the in
spired issuer of licenses listed the
Pope's car among the automobiles
belonging to the diplomatic corps.
Obviously there would have been
trouble. perhaps an incident" If it
had been licensed as belonging to
subject of the king. So the Pope's
car is credited as to a foreign state
or monarch. So far SO good. But
Plus XI is an energetic person, de-
voted to mountain climbing. A long
road stretches from the Vatican to the
Alps The good car that his devoted
Milanese sent him may never break a
record, but it might break tradition.
At the time Of his election 1t was
said that the new Pope favored a
rapprochement with the Quirinal,
and certain occurrences then and
since lend color to that view. Per-
haps the time will soon come when
the Pope need no longer be the
prisoner Of the Vatican" but in
stead will be free to seek the solace
Of rural scenes after a days hard
work in the palace.-New York Post

Otherwise he would, Of course, not

This, case at Niagara Is much like
that Of the driver that crosses q rail-
road track at grade. He has crossed
80 often without pausing and without
harm that he never hesitates. So he
continues to cross until he is caught.
In this case the careless one escaped
and q passenger only was killed.
Usually the driver Of the grade.cross-
ing car loses his own life. The Niagara
tragedy should have its value as an
additional warning against taking any
chances in dangerous situations.
