THE INTERNATIONAL PROTEC-
TlON OF LABOR. Bontelfe Els
worth Lowe. The Macmillan Com
pany.
TINE United States is generally
supposed to be backward in
taking official part in the in
ternational regulation of labor condi-
tons. 1t Is o problem that has not
concerned US much. We did not care
who did our dirty work. Our laws
had fewer regulations on this topic
than the European countries. Our
economic condition was one which
caused US no worry. We were so
isolated that we assumed we were on
another planet. Hence II follows that
although there are many studies in
French and German, Mr.. Lowe was
the first American to give il serious
attention.
In his preface he says: Previous
to the world war the United States
was thought by many to be fully a
generation behind Europe with re-
spect to various phases of labor leg
islation. Certain it is that the United
States was among the most back
ward Of great nations in taking part
in the international regulation OF
labor conditions. 1t is the purpose
of this book to describe the move
ment for international labor legisla-
ton, TO present the labor agreements
that have resulted therefrom and TO
show the legislative developments
that may enable the United States to
do more than it has heretofore done
toward treating labor problems in an
international way"
Previous 10 the great war there
was no universal law governing
labor. Diplomats and politicians had
not discovered the labor vote. How
ever. coming events had cast their
shadows before. The first step was
taken in the Bern convention of 1906.
BY then white phosphorus, poison,
was prohibited in the manufacture of
matches, and women In industry
were guaranteed a uniform nights
rest OF eleven hours. As the move

Tt THE EDITOR OF IKE NEW YORK
HERALD: After reading Mr..
Pangborn's review of Mr..
Bryan's book "In His Image" a
question suggested itself to me and I
would like to know the answer. That
question Is, What should be taught
in our schools about evolution and
Darwinism and upon whose author
ity?"
Let us agree that the word "evolu-
tons" means that the various species
of living things now N the world
have arisen in the course of time by
some process or other from preex-
isting forms much fewer in number.
Let us agree that at q certain time in
the past some species now existing
did not exist but somehow came later
into being. "Darwinism" tproperly
so called) is an attempt to describe
the process by which species orig
mated. His theory is that of "natu-
raj selection" and it supposed that
new species arose by the aceumula-
ton of small variations. the struggle
for existence being the main force of
selection operating on those varia-
tions. Sir william Bateson, the dis
tinguished British biologist. speak,
ing on December % before the Amer
lean Society for the Advancement of
Science at Toronto, pointed out that
this theory OF Darwin's is not tena-
BILE. He went further; he said:
Meanwhile though our faith in evo-
hutton stands unshaken, ice hare no
acceptable account of the ori9iB of
species" Utalicization Is nline). And
toward the end of his address he
said: II have put before you very
frankly the considerations which
have made us agnostic as 10 the
actual mode and processes OF evo-
iution."
Now il Is precisely this actual
mode and these processes" which
are the important things.
What should be taught IN the
schools with respect to them? And
upon whose authority?

ment TO improve conditions was uni
versal It was only a question OF time
before the protection OF labor would
be recognized In international law.
The author gives a thorough
sketch Of the Industrial revolution
which weighted the dice against the
worker. He traces the development
Of labor legislation In the separate
counkries. He says: Different coun-
tries reflect all the different stages
of labor regulation. but national and
local labor legislation of some kind
has become a common factor In the
economic life of every civilized COM
munity. More or less distinct types
Of labor laws have had initial de-
velopment among different national
groups. In Great Britain, France
and the United States protective
labor law tended at first to favor
women and children; skilled crafts
men have bettered their conditions of
employment by collective bargaining
and by the exercise of pressure on
legislative bodies. Another group of
countries was primarily concerned
with the general insurance of labor
against the risks of Industrial life.
1. e. accidents, sickness, disease, &C.
This class of countries is represented
by Germany. Austria, Hungary and
the Scandinavian Powers. Another
group has had markedly sociaiistie
tendencies in the administration of
labor regulations. as is the case with
Australia and New Zealand. These
legislations widely diverScd in their
inception have continued to converge
more and more in their adoption OF
certain fundamental privileges. And
now the time has come when econo-
mists are fully aware that in a world
of international markets and inter-
national industrial competition there
are conditions OF production that can
be most effectively controlled in the
interest of labor, as well as of others
concerned, by international agree
ment."
Mr.. Lowe then traces the stages in
the growth of international interest
in labor. His work is essentially a
summary of official labor conferences.
He Is a reporter rather than
theorist. He tends to minimize the
various Socialist congresses which
were the chief spur to action. How
ever. his book is brought right up
to date. 1t mentions all the interna-
tional congresses OF trade unions.
There is a detailed account of the
discussion of the labor question at
the Peace Conference, and the book
closes with a digest of the conference
of Washington in 1919. and the con-
ference of Genoa in 1920. The style
is rather colorless. but the book is
much more vital than the ordinary
Doctors thesis.

An All Night Trip

A night excursion not on the adj
vertised program was made by n
CITY of Camden, on Thursday night
of last week. She left Philadelphia
at 4.3O and should have reached Penns
Grove in two hours according to
schedule. But there was a dense fog
on the river and darkness soon set in.
Capt. George P. Dolbow, who is one
of the most careful pilots on the river,
went slow and sure.
At Chester he was told there were
large steamers anchored down the
river and to be on the lookout. They
were never seen, nor was the City of
Chester, which left Wilmington at
4.15 and reached Philadelphia in the
fog without mishap.
Capt. Dolbow piloted the Camden
slowly and when he thought it about
time to be at Penns Grove wharf the
prov was turned to the southwark.
She went onto the muddy shore safely
below the mouth of Oldmans creek
and above the Ordnance Depot wharf.
The tide had been running up and be-
ing unable to see any lights he missed
his calculations about a mile and a
half and had to wait several hours
until the tide rose to float her off.
She reached Penns Grove about b
o'clock Friday morning.
There were about a hundred pas.
sengers on the boat. They enjoyed
the nickel music and consumed about
all the food at the lunch counter:
They snoozed thru the night and had
a winters night on the river, instead
of in the summer.

Big Cut In Railroad Workers

Five entire track gangs have been
laid off and other deep cuts are being
made in the working forces in all de-
partments of the West Jersey G. Sea-
shore Railroad following special or
ders said to have come from head
quarters. A corps of experts is max
ing the rounds of the entire system
and Topping off workers wherever they
can be spared. Nearly every office of
any size is losing a clerk or two, and
it is said that further reductions will
be made at the Camden terminal.
Railroad officials are said to claim
that the West Jersey road has not
vet reduced its forces in proportion
to other lines; hence, the orders for
the drastic cutting. Foremen of track
gangs declare that they were already
handicapped by lack of workers and
now many needed repairs will have
to be passed up.
