ownership is the best antidote for
all this sort of thing. 1t is a sta
bilizer which breeds respect for prop

ism and a desire to maintain estab-

1T is to the little home towns

CONSERVATIVE LABOR.

1t is significant that the first
act of Samuel Gompers or being
reelected president of the Fedora
tion of Labor was to wage a hot
fight on the floor of the convention
against a resolution demanding rec
ognition of the Russian Soviet gov
eminent. 1t is also significant that
he won that fight.
Gompers evidently is seated in the
saddle of American organized labor
more strongly than he was a year
ago; and he is using his power, as
be has used it in the main for sew
eral years past, to hold labor to a
conservative policy
1t will be remembered that Com
pers during the war was steadfast
in his hostility to the zone big un-
ION idea in this country, and that

men, Gompers fought that brand Of
radicalism uncompromisingly. 1t
seemed, a year or two ago, that the
prove too strong for Gompers. But
somehow OF other, he is on top
again.
Partly, no doubt, his supremacy
is due to a recognition among the
majority memberships OF the unions
of his strength as a labor leader. No
, that American unionism as a whole
has swung away from it's former
radical trend, toward what labor
regards as conservatism.

Executive. He or no one else, nor

ter. a successfully be an exception
to the general order of things in
what Our President may regard as
being a serious crisis involving the
liberties of the masses.
American labor often seems rad
zeal enough to capitalists. But
judgment Of such matters must be
comparative; and whatever its
faults, American labor today is far
more conservative than that of most
other countries. 1t is sincerely
hoped by the real friends Of labor
that it will, upon due reflection,
fully and frankly assert that spirit
of conservatism in the present is
sues-not by surrendering princi-
pies, but by showing ~conclusively
that peaceful adjustments are eager
ly sought. Conservatism means So
Der, deliberate, thoughtful action
and that's the very thing this ma
ton mostly needs at the present
time. 1t would be great if Mr..
Gomper's policy in that direction
would lead to the real achievement.
1t would result in wonderful social
and economic advancement, not
merely for labor but for the nation
in general-for the masses. We
must either cultivate and possess
real conservatism in dealing with

ators and miners have been stub
born, and until lately the public
has been %apathetic, and the gov
eminent. rightly or wrongly, has
felt itself justified in intervening
only as a last resort. Now it is
evident to everybody that there must
be action.
In the three idle months that
have elapsed, there might have beer
worked out not only a settlement OF
the issues Immediately involved but
a rational plan for putting the loose
end coal industry on a permanently
sound basis, If the parties concerned
had gone about the matter with open
mind and constructive purpose. Now
it is hardly possible that anything
hut a temporary arrangement can
be patched up for the present year.
The imperative thing is to get the
mines open again and the men back
at work and the coal hauled and
stored for next winter.
1t will be an achievement worth
while to accomplish that. But hav-
ing done that much surely the occa-
sion cannot be allowed to pass with

task Of putting the coal industry

UNION HOURS FOR STUDENTS.

a curriculum FOUNDED upon the
principle of "a definite eight-hour
day every day for every student
is being workd out at one of the
smaller mid-western colleges. 1t
is a program offering little encour-
agement to the college loafer @"
play-boy.
Under the plan, the president AS
sures prospective students, no time
clocks or monitors will be used. The
course of study and the standards
of scholarship required will just de-
mand eight good hours of work a
day to accomplish them.
There is a growing tedency in
higher educational institutions to
eliminate the lazy and unfit. 1t
holds classes down in size and al
lows a better opportunity for stu
dents who truly desire the privilege
of college training.
The plan proposed is a good one
for securing the desired effect. A
lazy student or a trifler may pass
the s~tiffest entrance examination,
but he will not linger long in am
atmosphere of hard work.

ROSES AND

The American railroad right OF
way, with its miles of cinder-strewn
track, stones, grass and scrub bushes
very nearly the last word in ugli-
ness-is in a fair way to undergo
marvellous transformation.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Co. is reported to
have started something which, If
taken up by other roads, will mean

of the best preventives of erosion.

ZIONISM IN PALESTINE.

The Zionist hope of a Wis state
to be erected in Palestine as a home
for the Jews of the world certainly
seems blighted. The British par
lament has refused to support the
plan prepared in accordance with
promises made during the war, and
the British government had issued a
statement announcing a change OF
policy. Jews, it appears, are still
to be welcomed in Palestine and
granted certain announcements and
.favors, but they cannot expect to
re-occupy and dominate their an
cient home as their own.
English statesmen explain now
that the proposal for a Jewish state
was never clearly thought out, and
that it is found to conflict with
basic principles of the Versailles
treaty regarding self-determination
of peoples and the handling of man
dates. Palestine is a inundated terri
tory, and therefore must be man
aged, it is urged, in the interest Of
the natives, who are nine-tenths
Arabs and only one-tenth Jews.
The plain truth is that the situa-
.tion in Palestine has been one of the
various things stirring up the Mo-
hammedans to make trouble for the
British Empire, and the present de-
sire of Great Britain is to placate
the Arabs and Turks.
Few American and English Jews,
it is noted, have gone to Palestine.
The newcomers, mainly Russian and
Polish, are described in a recent dis
patch as ''imbued with the idea that
Palestine was to be made into a dis
Itinctly Jewish state and showing lit
tie regard for the susceptibilities of
the Arabs" Their large numbers,
too, have made a serious immigrant
problem. resulting in overcrowded
cities and high taxes.
So fades a dream which. however.
impractical it may have been, cap
tivated for a time the imagination
not only of the Jewish race but of
the civilization that derives it's re-
ligiOn from Jewish sources.

THE LONGEST RADIO WAVE.

Not Mars. but the General Electric
Company at Schenectady, sent out
those extremely long radio waves
which Marconi received while cruis-
ing in the Mediterranean not long
ago. At the time he received them
1t was impossible to locate their
source, so that humor arose to the
effect that signals were at last COM
ing fromyeMarsa.ii fa.tis st ~,
Now that Marconi has visited
the sending source and has talked
over their experiments with officials
of the General Electric Company,
there is no need for chagrin or re-
gret that the mystery is so simply
solved. The marvel remains.
A wave length 100000 meters
long. five times as long as n
previously obtained, is not to be
disregarded simply because its origin
was not a distant planet. Sent out
along the trolley wires between
Schenectady and Saratoga Springs,
it is evident that the wave spread
over practically the whole world.
It's successful sending should mean
more to us on this planet just now
than if it had come from Mars.

PEDAGOGIC PICTURES.

Much may come of this now com

safeguarded from all this talk of
science, psychology and pedagogics.
What they want is interesting pic
lures, without any too fragrant an
effort to educate and improve them.
Film instruction, like instruction in
every other art whose success de-
ponds on public liking and free
choice, must be disguised as enter
tainment.
With this princinple followed,
there is surely a great field for edu-
c%ational pictures. People naturally
learn more through the eye than
in any other way. That can be
proved by watching any child. His
first demand, when something new
turns up, is "Show me-" Next he
wants to touch it: Let me have
it in my hand" After that he may
say, Tell me about it,"
