Unemployment Ceases
to Be Problem at Seattle
BY PAUL c. HEDRICK.
,necial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, May 4.-The un-
employment situation has ceased to
be a problem in the northwest be-
cause of seasonal demand for work
ers in basic industries of Washing
ton and Alaska. There Is no over
supply of common labor, according to
a statement today by the superin-
tendent of the city employment bu-
reau. The demand for skilled work
ers in the saw mills fully equals the
supply, and spring planting by the
farmers has taken a large number of
migratory workers out of the cities
of the Pacific northwest. The build
ing crafts are working at smaller
wages than last year. and the out
look for building activity this sum-
mer is better than at any time since
November. 1913.

la1NGHAM SEASON CLOSES.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The gingham
season is practically ended, thereby
marking the earliest close for this
merchandise in several years. Sales
normally would average well into late
May, but this season traders have
noted a much earlier call evidenced
for softer and more summery fabrics
in preference to ginghams. While
gingham dress manufacturers report
only moderate sized business being
done in limited number of fancy
articles, their competitors selling
voiles. particularly organdies, are do
ing a lucrative business for the sum
mer trade. Dress manufacturers Offer
ing three-piece suits with capes to
match also are doing profitable busi-
ness. -

NEW YORK, May (speciaD.-The

Later the May wheat option became
irregular and was easily Influenced
by any buying or selling. at one time
rallying to above yesterdays finish.
Exporters became free buyers of July
wheat on the early declines, but this
failed to influence the market to any
great extent, and the finish was with
a rather heavy undertone, with a ma
jority of the local element inclined
to the bear side. The close was weak
at a net loss of 1 u to 2h from yes
1.42Zs and July 1.27a1.27k.
There was a good demand for corn
in evidence, but the market moved
within relatively narrow limits. Re-
ports said that country offerings from
Iowa gradually were increasing, as
spring work Is making rapid prog
ress. The finish was weak, with
prices unchanged to half cent lower,

SAFEGUARDING THE PEOPLE

catastrophe happens such as the collapse of great building, and many people are hurt. Immediately there is an investigation. Inspectors are blamed and sometimes punished for negligence in allowing dangerous con- ditions to exist. The affair quiets down. Nothing more is heard of in- spectors until some other tragedy shocks the people. Then the inspectors are blamed again.
 But all during the time between such catastrophes those inspectors have been at work. They have insisted on placing safeguards here; they have demanded alterations there. Owners of theaters and other structures are continually spending money to meet the laws requirements as prescribed in the statutes or ordinances and en- forced by inspectors and police.
 The public gets all the information it wants about the catastrophes The public does not hear of the good work being done by inspectors and legisla- tors to safeguard it. The public should know of that good work and should commend it. In this city a theater opening has been delayed in order that the building may be made safe. The work of the inspectors is responsible for this protection. Such work should be recognized and ap- proved in order that those whose duty 1t is to safeguard the people may be spurred to continuous effort by the knowledge that the people are behind them in their work,

LAW ENFORCEMENT

There would be no freedom without law. The sole reason for the existence of law is to protect mans liberty This fact has been recognized by thinkers ever since Kant made the pronounce ment emphatic. If there were no laws against stealing a man could not do as he chose with the things he owned. He would not be free to walk down the street if he so willed unless the law prevented others from maliciously interfering with him. There is no freedom in country which has no laws
 The only laws which can be en- forced effectively are those which have freedom-loving people back of them. The laws against murder, theft, against everything that handi- caps mans freedom are readily en- forced because the vast majority of men see that their freedom is con- served by them. Those whose duty it is to enforce these laws have no incentive to refrain from enforcing them. Those enforcers of the law are glad to give their best efforts to mak- ing such laws effective
 It is otherwise with the VoIstead law. The law enforcement agents know that the sentiment concerning the justice and wisdom of the law is divided. They know that many peo-
New Britain herald., 1922-10-25

pie believe the law IS an infringement of personal liberty, There is no nnis yersal sentiment in favor Of the law. II is said by those who have had experience with enforcement agents In New York city that boollegger cannot go in business and remain free unless he first "flXes" the authorities,
 This tx no argument against the prohibition amendment; it k no argn- ment suggesting that anyone has | right to break the law as presented in the volstead act, No one should break that law. It will be far better for tho country if that law is enforced strictly in order that it's full purport may be known. The results of that
 law should be shown. Not until then will the people Of the country know whether or not they want that law
 Not until they know that they want 1t will Il be strictly enforced. But in the attempts to enforce the Nolstead act the enforcement agents should begin at home. It would be possible at least. to have those enforcement agents whole -heartedly in favor of it's enforcement, no matter what the sen- timent Of the majority of the peo- pie is.

COAT, PRICES.

Consider ble pains has been taken
 to secure information as to the jus
 tice of the coal prices now being
 charged. The statements here made
 refer to coal already purchased and
 now being sold
 Whether the dealers were wise or
 unwise in making heavy purchases at
 present prices is a matter of personal opinion. If it is believed that the
 people are better off to have plenty of coal here, even high priced coal. the dealers action was wise If it is believed the dealers should have waited. purchasing only Company coal, or should have run along with only cheap coal making their cus- toners wait rather than taking a chance, then the dealers were unwise.
 The fact is that the dealers have coal on hand which cost them, on the average. something over sixteen dol lars in New Britain. The handling charge has been placed always at four dollars. AS to the lower price, either the statements that other cities where lower prices are charged have plenty of coal are untrue, or our local deal- CTS were not as smart as dealers in other cities. It does not seem pos sible that the coal dealers of New Britain were the only ones to "get stuck If our dealers were not stuck, it must be that Hartford, Springfield and other places where d lower price is charged have not suff- cient coal. There is some evidence that Hartford people have offered to come over here and take coal back home at s20 a ton. On the other hand there is some extremely round- about evidence that New Britain peo- pie have gone to neighboring places and paid s16 or s17 ton and brought it here.
 It is conceivable that local dealers, having this high priced coal on hand, are in no hurry to buy Company coal at lower price until they have sold their high priced coal. But no evil dence has been. produced, as far as has been ascertained, to this effect other than the rumors about delay in unloading coal here.
 If Mayor Paonessa or anyone else has evidence that coal may be pur- chased in large quantities today so that it can be sold for a lower price he should present that evidence to the fuel administrator at once. Full pub licity should be given to the facts. but no one should seek to benefit, politically or otherwise, by the state ment that he has such evidence, and let it go at that.

PARTIES JOINED HANDS

When the war broke out Liberal administration was in power in Eng | land.
 l But in a time of such emergency it was thought lines ought no longer to count So Herbert H. Asquith. then premier reorga nized the cab inet, giving about half the portfolios to Conservatives, and one or two to members of the Labor party.
 This was the beginning of what was known as "the coalition govern ment."
 Presently it began to be com plained that Asquith was not push | ing the war vigorously enough | Finally he had to resign.
 As the two big parties. for the time being were merged, it was neither possible nor desired to make po- have been done in ordinary times. In- stead Lloyd George, who was minis ter of war and had been member of Asquith's original Liberal cabinet simply was promoted to the premier stG.
 Elections were waived. Lloyd George fought out the war and re- mained head of the "coalition gov ernment" until last week.
 Opposition to him at length began to develop, however. The Conserva tives objected to him as Liberal Many Liberals said he had become a Conservative. Times were bad Rightly or wrongly, he was blamed Especially of late he was accused of bringing England close to war with the Turks. AS a climax, large bloc of Conservatives withdrew their sup port from the coalition.
 Lloyd Georges parliamentary ma jority was gone. He had to resign.
