Ships Without Cargoes
CFrom the New York Herald).

American vessels in February
measured a ship tonnage more than
half Of the total ship tonnage carry
ing our overseas commerce. But this
greater proportion Of our ship tom
mage did not carry most OF the car
goes in the overseas trade Of the
United States. The tonnage move
ment Is not a trustworthy Indicator
OF cargoes carried. anyhow, either as
TO quantity or kind, because It in
cludes ships moved in ballast as well
as the tank steamships employed on
short haul voyages 10 bring oil from
Mexico.
Vessel movements In February
have not yet been published, but they
will not vary greatly from the re-
ports for the month before. In Jan
uary American vessels Of fO13.O0O
tons cleared and entered our ports.
but OF these vessels an aggregate OF
1,l2l,000 tons were in ballast For
eign vessels aggregating 1856, 600
tons entered and cleared, Of which
only $4,000 tons were in ballast.
The profitless voyage of American
vessels were nearly double those OF
foreign ships. With tanker tonnage
deducted the movement of American
vessels totalled only 100000 tons
with cargo az against 2.ssO. 900

Editorial Opinion
INVESTIGATING THE

INVESTIGATING THE
COAL INDUSTRY.
From the New York Tribune.
John L. Lewis. head of the coal
miners union. declares that the
miners are opposed to arbitration
but would welcome an investigation
by a government appointed body,
provided It is not one OF the tradi-
tionally futile Congressional com
mittees lacking the requisite tech
nical knowledge. The commission.
according to Mr.. Lewis SHOULD be
composed largely Of engineers and
other technicians similarly qualified,
with representation both of the
operators and the miners"
The sooner such a body is named
the better. 1t is essential that a
thorough investigation be made
covering not only the question Of
wages and hours in the various
grades and classes OF mine opera
tions but also the cost OF production
and distribution, with special refer
ence to the freight rates and charges
OF the middlemen, together with the

| dustry as a whole. So long as the
operators and miners carry on a
warfare OF propaganda and issue
conflicting sttements as to various
factors of the economic aspect Of
the industry there is no hope of ar
riving at the truth except through
an investigation carried on under
the authority OF the government.
Whether arbitration finally will
have to be undertaken depends on
the developments Of the next few
weeks. But it does not in any way
diminish the necessity OF naming a
commission now. composed Of repre-
| sentatives OF the operators, the
miners and the public, to collect the
data which must be had II ever in
tercession proves essential. II a
settlement is made without the
necessity OF an arbitrating body
there will be available for the pub
lie much needed information on the
coal situation which should facili-
tate an understanding Of the claims
OF both sides and make easier the
formation OF an intelligent public
opinion.
Every day Of delay may materi-
ally lengthen the strike and increase
the likelihood that the government
| will have TO take drastic action.

NO MONEY NOW FOR
CAPE-LEWES FERRY

TRENTON, April 5-Indehnite
delay in establishing the ferry be-
tween Cape May and Lewes, Del.
authorized by the Legislature, seems
probable as the result OF considera-
ton given the subject yesterday by
the state Highway Commission. At
the request of citizens of Cape May
members of the commission recently
visited the proposed site OF the ferry
as a guide to future action.
II developed that no funds are
available at the present time for
establishment of the ferry, nor we're
there any prospects for available
funds in the near future. In these
circumstances the question was laid
over by the commission indefinitely.

To the Editor Of The Evening Jour

Sir-As a reader OF your paper l

words in answer TO this. You say
that the mashers. pimply faced
empty-headed and half-baked lads
and young men. are becoming
source of annoyance to our decent
and modest young women who travel
Market street. and,their numbers are
increasing. This II seems has always
been to some extent, especially those
TO whom you refer
II their numbers are increasing.
there certainly must be a reason.
Now what Is the reason? You speak
Of the decent and modest girls and
women. Thanks 20 the Almighty. we
still have many left who are decent
and modest. and they know how to
exemplify their decency and mod
esty by their appearance. These you
do not see parading Market street
dressed from one-quarter up. and
from one-quarter down, or, in other
words half-dressed.

women who dress thus are indecent,
but what we see, whether they be
decent or not. leaves little to the
Imagination. To my way Of thinking.

the appearance of many OF our
young women. yes. and OF some old

the above question. as the kind OF
young men you refer to have imag
ination that is most easily enlarged
upon.
For the sake OF decency and mo
rality. It does not seem any more
than right and just that these empty
headed, half-baked girls and womei
