sent a special envoy to the Papal
court.
In the field of sociology Pope
BENEDICT was remindful of LEO XIII.
His papers on capital and labor. on
the Bolsheviki. on direct action and
on socialism were worthy OF the best
Vatican traditions. He assailed
every attempt to use violence as q
remedy for economic wrongs. In the
Irish problem he WAS In favor of
the moderation on both sides which
finally triumphed.
In years to come BENEDICT XV.'s
record in the difficult years since
1914 may grow even brighter than
II seems to-day; for the world will
remember, as international hatreds
weaken, that he was In the position
Of father who had sons on both
sides Of a quarrel.

Nature Is Doing Pretty Well.

The pre-determination of sex. hope
of which Professor JULIAN HUXLEY
held out in a lecture delivered in
London the other night, is an old
problem with the scientists. Almost
all biologists have worried over 1t
and some, like DR.. ScHENK OF
Vienna, have pretended to arrive at
successful method. DR.. SCHEMES
theory, reported to have been prac-
ticed successfully in two of Europe's
royal houses. was based on diet;
Professor HUXLEY goes in for more
direct cellular change.
II man should discover the way
TO decide what the sex of the unborn
should be he would have attained
something which now exists in the
insect world. The great French
naturalist FABRE proved from his
observation OF one of the boring in
sects that the female, after construct
ing the cell in which she intended to
lay an egg, was able to impart to
the egg whichever sex would be best
for the comfort OF the cells future
occupant. This. said FABRE, was not
intelligence but instinct, and he Of
fered no solution Of the mystery.
The prediction of HUxLEY has
academic interest, but it is nothing
for the human race to get excited
about. Old Mother Nature is still
on the job. BY and large, there is
girl for every boy. The natural bal
ance is kept so well that In the
United States at the time of the last
census there were 4O,902,333 native
white males and 40,2O5,s2S females.
In the world in general there are a
few more women than men, but IL
there weren't what would the world
do for kindly old maids?
Furthermore, Nature watches the
balance of the sexes carefully. 1t is
historical that every war is fol-
lowed by an increase in the per-
centage of male children born. The
scientists do not understand this
phenomenon any more than FABRE
understood the insects power OF pre-
determining the sex of the egg: but
the fact remains.
Nature let's science handle small
contracts for her. but she takes care
of the big ones herself. The profes-
sors took the human race in hand
only few decades ago. Nature
nursed the race through a thousand
centuries. She still knows a few
things that have been denied to the
gentlemen of the laboratory.

A Tunnel Under the Park.
By It the Sixth Avenue Elevated
Could Run Up Town.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: What
New York city needs are trunk lines to
the suburbs.
The Sixth avenue elevated line stops
at Fifty-ninth street. What for? There
should be tunnel cut through Central
Park to connect Sixth avenue with
Lenox avenue at 10th street The Sixth
avenue surface cars could also run
through this tunnel.
This would relieve the congestion on
the other lines and do away with the
bend at Fifty-third street. where thou
sands OF passengers are carried out OF
their way.
1t has often occurred to me also that
during rush hours both tracks should
be utilized in running trains one way.
This OF course would necessitate the
construction OF an endless chain or loop
at one end. GEORGE FENrErCK.

The support Of Royalty.

From the Mdnchester Guardion.
At the installation ceremony Of King Fcisui
Of Irak nothing had been left undone In pro-
ducing the atmosphere necessary for such
an occasion In the country OF the Caiiphs
OF Bagdad. Tho throne--or rather the chair
of Htate--was a masterpiece In scarlet rep.
tinsel and gilt. After the ceremony. which.
II viii be remembered. was an open air
affair. the ritual required that tho throne
should be removed. A staiwart Ethiopian
raised II above his head and bore It away
past the assembled multitude. Tho frame
beneath the seat was simple deal. and across
the boarding was tho legend in stencil OF a
firm that exports Scotch whisky. II shall
be namelcss. because the most up TO date
advertisement manager could never have
hoped for such a display. II was worth
a kings ransom and yet II was free and

Labor Unions and Law.
Liability in Court Of Members OF
Unincorporated Associations.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: You pub
Iished under the title Labor Unions
and Law" n letter which states very
completely all OF the misconceptions OF
fact and law relating to the proposed
compulsory Incorporation of trade
unions.
In q great majority of cases against
trade unions. either by employers 10
preserve their Industrial rights or by
members to preserve their membership
rights. there is ground for equitable re-
lief. In equity few members may be
served as representative OF the entire
membership and money Judgment may
be recovered on which execution may
issue against any member of the union
as incidental to the granting OF equita-
bio relief.
Under tho common law claim Tor
money damages only can be brought X
every member of the union Is made
party TO the action. That OF course Is
impracticable, but in twelve or thirteen
States statutes have been passed which
permit actions against trade unions and
other unlncorporated associations In tho
name OF the association or In tho name
Of one orsanother of the officers. To re-
cover upon Judgment execution may
be had not only against the treasurer
OF the union but against every men,
her Of the union for the fun amount.
Thus the member of an unlncorporated
association is liable to the full amount
for any debt or Judgment incurred by
the association when acting within me
scope of It's authority.
Upon this principle members OF the
United Hatters were forced to pay the
Judgment In the Danbury hatters case.
More recently tho Circuit Court of APP
peals sustained an action against the
United Mine Workers brought In the
namc of the union. Upon the trial a
Judgment in the sum of s625.oo0 was
entered. Tho case is now before the
Supreme Court and the judgment Is Sc
cured by Liberty bonds In tho hands
OF the court. An appeal from the juds-
ment of s325,o0o against the United Mine
Workers In similar action is about TO
be heard by the Circuit Court of Appeals.
In order to facilitate such actions
every Legislature should pass statute
permitting an action against unincorpo-
rated associations in the name or the

Industry Shows Gains
In Southeast District
Cotton Mills Active, but Retail
Trade Is Dull; Better
Prices for Crops

ATLANTA, Oct. 4.--Business condi-
tions in the Sixth Federal Reserve Dis
trict continued to improve through
August and early September, according
to the monthly business review of the
Federal Reserve Bank in this city.
Agricultural prospects in some por-
tions of the district have not come up
to expectations, but even though some
crops are smaller this year than last
the money return will be greater, the
bank says.
August sales in seven out Of eight
wholesale lines showed gain over
July, and all showed an increase COM
pared with last year. Production by
cotton mills in the district is greater
than month ago or last year. Reports
from thirty-six department stores In
the district reflected continued inactiv-
ity in August, the average sales that
month running 1.6 per cent behind last
year and 81 per cent below July. At
lanta, however, showed Ill gain over
last year, and Birmingham an increase
Of 21.3 per cent.

that market conditions were improving,
The outlook in the domestic market
is healthy, underlying conditions are
sound, and indications are for 4 great
er expansion of the cotton-manufactur-
ing industry in America in the near
future than in any other country in the
world, Professor Melvin T. Copeland,
Of the Bureau Of Business Research of
Harvard University, said at the first
session.
He expressed belief, based on histor-
ical research, that cotton cloth prices
were likely to fuctuate around the
present level for ten years or more to
come. They may drop slightly on the
whole, said he, but just at present we
seem to be on the upgrade, although
it does not seem likely that the present
movement will be long sustained.
He predicted a temporary labor
shortage in the Southern branch of the
industry as we'll as in the Northern
branch.
A report by the Committee on Rates
and Transportation took gloomy view
Of the transport problem. Freight rates
may rise and months will pass before
reasonable percentage Of the rolling
stock thoroughly out of commission
may again be placed in service" ac-
cording to this report, which added
that the effects of the late shop strike

In the Southwest

Improvement in business condi-

by increased local car loadings on
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
lines last month, according to a
statement issued by the railway
yesterday.
Cars loaded locally" says the
statement, "and those received from
connections in September totaled
56,173, as against 47,9o7 in August,
the August traffic having been
heavier than that in any preceding
month this year.
Cotton, coal and livestock were
the commodities in which there was
the greatest increase in local load
ing. The NJ, X. & T. loaded 1928
bales of cotton in September this
year, as against 1851 bales in
September a year ago, an increase
of 45 per cent. There was also an
increase of A per cent in local live
