The Common Law
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Of common law a decision,
famous in American Constitutional
jurisprudence, holds: "The adoption
Of the Constitution and the consequent
creation of national government did
not abrogate this common law, that
the division of governmental powers
and duties between the national and
state governments provided for in the
Constitution did not deprive the peo-
pie who formed the Constitution Of the
benefits of the common law; that as
to such matters as were by the Consti-
tuition committed to the control of the
national government there were ap-
plicable thereto the law of nations
the maritime law, the principles of
equity and the common law" (62 Fed,

or of labor itself. Despite endless
litigation, antitrust legislation and
overwhelming administrative regula-
tion by commission or arbitration
boards the crisis, more acute each
day, grows nearer, demanding socio-
logical reform and economic readjust-
ment, the problem remains unsolved
and the unrest is more general.
1t must be seen that the remedy is
not through appeal to our feebly rep
resentative political authority, but to
the fundamental claw Of the land" the
common law" under the Constitution,
ever hostile to monopoly, securing to
labor the individual and inalienable
natural rights of man and the general
welfare of the public. 1t must be ap-
piled not only by our courts, but by
administrative and executive authori-
ties, upon which it is no less obliga-

there are many questions concern
ing the United States and Canada
which can best be solved by direct
Canadian representation in Wash
lngton. Such questions as the St.
Lawrence Canal, fishing rights, rail-
way intercommunication and even
Panama Canal tolls have special
significance for Canada and are not,
properly speaking, questions of en-
pire. Such, also, is the present pro-
posal to revise the unarmed border
agreement.
1t will be interesting to see
whether the Canadian Premier will
follow up his visit and discussions
by establishing permanent direct
diplomatic relations between the
two countries.

''The Queen of Battles"

Commenting on the Marine Corps
maneuvers at Gettysburg, The Trib-
une said the ether day that they
showed conclusively that the in.
fantry is still the Queen of Battles
For time the deadlock of trench
warfare seemed to throw doubt on
the supreme role Of infantry. On the
European Western front vast armies
were immobilized for three years
waiting for new weapons with which
to break through rigid defenses. The
multiplication of heavy guns and the
advent of the tank furnished these
weapons, and after Cambrai the wal
of movement, in which infantry
dominates, was revived.
The War Department has been
making studies of the influence OF
modern inventions on the technique
of warfare, and, according to "The
Army Recruiting News" has come
to the conclusion that the foot SOL
dier is now, as in all ages, the indis-
pensable factor in battle. The mill.
tary analysts agree that a man
fights with the greatest freedom Of
action and the greatest efficiency
when on foot, not on horseback, in a
tank, in an airplane or in fixed
fortiication. They agree that he is
rendered least vulnerable when he is
simply clothed against the weather
but wears a steel helmet.
The. old thesis of the superiority Of
the fighting infantryman is thus re-
stated: "Battle is normally deter
mined by physical encounter with the
bayonet or the fear thereof; all othe,
agencies Of destruction, as artillery
machine guns and aircraft, are aux.
iliary in their effect, however potent
and serve to make possible the ad-
vance of the foot soldier to hand-to.
hand encounter"
The War Department is seeking tt
combat the heresy 'that any ma.
terial means can ever replace in wal
the Individual soldier who is willing
and able to fight" It ought to have
little trouble in disposing of that
heresy. The great war was wor
not by new inventions-by heavy ar.
tillery, mine tfrowers, improved ma.
chine guns,/ tanks and airplanes
though all these were of Importance
but by the valor of the foot sol
diers. 1t was, as Foch says, a con
test of wills, a moral struggle, ane
victory went to the side which wa.
determined to hold out the longer.
This is the teaching of the great
est masters Of war. 1t is well t.
have it emphasized at time wher
many are tempted to believe thai
future wars will be won merely b,
mechanical terrorism or dexterity.

ference, in reality, was dead before
it was born.

struction can begin. At both the
Russians sought to make war rather

Sooner or later Europe will doubt

Early Apples From Old Orchards .A,.hu G. Staple

City folks do not hear the song that
the knives of the moving machine are
singing to-day far down the field, as
| sit here in my wheelchair spinning
my dreams. They hear what 0. Henry
called the Voice of the City," in
definable even by him, hungry and re-
mote, battling and indeterminate. This
voice of the mower is as clear as a
war cry, as definite as the song of the
chantey-man, going out of our rivers
past the headlands, into mystery.
There is "snake-spit" on the grass
this morning and all the clouds are
swinging down out of the north, racing
like coasting craft out of harbors, the
forefoot of each old lugger beating
the ultramarine into snow. My roads
are dusty and free from automobilists
for this is not estate road" and a
little beyond is four corners with q
sagging guidepost, pointing confusedly
in several directions. Already l am
thinking of the early Sopseyvines and

see is a small boy, standing in the
door of an old farmhouse, very early
in the morning. That boy may be you,
or it may be I, according as this sug-
gcstion brings back to you, dear reader,
any memories.
The Morning DeW
1t is the beginning of the day Of the
orchard fruitage-this memory that
have in mind. Down the hill, past the
pigpen, through the shed, toward the
brook, with the low-hanging elm trees
over its winding course, the fields
where the mower runs his noisy
scythes stretch away with apple trees
among them, cannily placed near the
neighbor's fence so that there may be
so much more land for hay. Here are
old trees, and each of them you know
by its fruits. Each birds nest is
yours; each cuckoo that calls from
the branches has been the vain pur-
suit Of your slingshot.
1t was first come, first served in your
family in those days. The early boy
got the apples. You, oh boy, are early!
The others are in their beds in the
attic, their stubbed toes sticking out
from under the bed sheets and their
frowsy heads on the pillows. There
is repugnance to the trip across the
fields. If you remember anything of
this sort you remember this above all
else. The stubble is prickly to bare
feet; the spiders webs are onainous;
the way is far; the cold dews on a
boys feet make him shiver; there are
rumors of snakes in the grass. But
over beyond are the Sopseyvines, fallen
as they have way of falling in the
early summer nights.
Sounds and Fragrance
You dc recall, do you not, the pierc-
ing of the stubble to bare feet, the
cool dark. shed, the fragrance of the
pigpen, the grunting of the pigs as you
pass by? You can smell the caraway
and the dark herbs, burdock, yellow
dock and others as you brush them
aside by the swinging door. Do you
get the breeze that lifts the hair about
your brows, the song Of the birds, the
flecks of smoke from early kitchen
fires, the silver of that winding brook
that comes down under the dewy elms
You know each tree! Here is one
that never had name, an early tree
that had apples like unto no others
Here is the Sopseyvine-red, streaked
with ivory shadings, somewhat elon-
gated in shape, covered with dew. cold

as was remarked to me by keen
observer. Is it Bolshevik or German
money which has SO undermined some
of our leading papers that France is

Belonging the Rail Act

Much confusion and mischief are
aused by the loose use of words.
Thus Mr.. Gompers is led astray and
k,ds others astray by an inexact
~ OF the word "strike" in this
aatement which he made the other
dar: aThe assertion that the Esch-
tgmmins transportation act can pre-
wnt strikes has been demonstrated
wbe an absolute fallacy."
II is open to any one who has
au6ed the Esch-Cummins act to
ay that it does furnish means for
prsysnting strikes and that the re-
sisance of the railroad unions to the
wage decision of the Railroad Labor
Board does not constitute strike.
strikes occur when employers and
employees disagree as to wages and
working conditions, and, in the ab-
senee Of any settlement, work is sus-
pended by the employees as Q meas
ure Of peaceful coercion. These con-
ditions Do not exist in the case of the
unions which are fighting the recent
awards Of the Railroad Labor Board.
Tbeunions and the railroad man
sgements disagreed as to wages.
The Esch- -Cummins act provided that
ether party might take the dispute
baore the Labor Board, thus trans
isling responsibility for settle
Mnt to a government agency. The
@Ternment agency made it's award.
he controversy was taken out of
hehands of both employers and en-
Eoyees. The refusal of the latter to
accept the boards judgment, fol-
lowed by their retirement from the
service Of the carriers, is not strike
in the proper sense. 1t is a walk
out.
Senator Cummins is of the opin-
ion that the rulings of the board are
binding, both on the carriers and on
the workers. He himself tried to
make the act of 1920 stronger, put
'lng sharper teeth into the provisions
DONG away with strikes. But he
ngntly contends that the law did do
away with the possibility Of strikes
IN any case in which request was
MADE to the Labor Board for adjudi-
ea'lon. The only thing left to en-
p'oyees disregarding an award was
Walk-out. The only thing left to
employers disregarding an award
was a lockout. And he maintains
mat there is sufficient authority in
we law as it stands for government
procedure against either a walk-out
Or a lockout.
many persons have been bewil-
uefed by the claim that the unions
sse engaged in a controversy with
!, .ne railroads. They are not. They
nave left the railroad service and are

this, although I know it IL not true
But l will say it because, maybe we

from seeking dawns. Let us not forget
that opportunity passes and time is
brief, and the boy that is under the
early apple tree may not wait for us
forever. He may go beyond recall,
some day. Let US hurry. The summer
passes, the apples fall, the cloud dark

and the winding brook merges with the
