CAPITAL and Labor.


of Locomotive Engineers has bought a
substantial interest in the Empire
Trust Company Of New York and that
two high officials Of the brotherhood
will become directors of the banking
institution marks one Of the most
significant developments Of the pres
ent-day labor movement in America.
This is not the first venture Of organ
lied labor into banking, but heretofore
its undertakings have been little more
than savings banks for the accom-
modation Of members. Now the en-
gineers have invaded the stronghold of
the money interests" and will have
a voice in the management Of re-
sources running into the scores of
millions.
future relationships Of employers and
employees no one can foretell. but it
certainly is evidence Of a far departure
from the theory that the interests Of
capital and labor are necessarily an
tagonistic. How now will the radical
agitator be able to persuade his fol-
lowers that capital is plotting for the
enslavement OF labor. when repre-
sentatives Of labor are admitted to
capitals inner councils? Most Of the
big New York banks and trust com.
panies engage in railroad financing,
and 1t is to be assumed the Empire
Trust Company is not an exception.
When a bank or trust company un-
derwrites the securities Of a, railroad
its fortunes are tied up with the pros
perity Of it's client Directors Stone
and Premier, representing the brother
hood on the directorate of the trust
company, might find themselves in a

vestments. The situation is full Of in.
teresting and unguessable possibilities.
1t is far cry today from the day when
British labor, forbidden by parliament
to organize, began to form secret
beneficial and "burial' societies in
order that the workers might confer
together on wages and working con-
ditions. The early labor unions were
ruthlessly hunted down by capital and
their leaders thrown into JAIL. Now
capital takes the unions into partner
ship. Tremendous new forces are at
work throughout the world, and social
relations are being changed in ways
undreamed of few years ago. There
still are radicals in labor who would
destroy capital and Bourbons Of CAPT.
tai who would keep labor under heel,
but the numbers Of both are growing
less and their influence is diminish
ing. 1t has been long struggle up
ward for the man who works with his
hands, but each generation sees gains,
and the recessions never quite wipe
out the forward strides. Human prog
ress is not measured in the life span
Of man, but in centuries and groups Of
centuries. A hundred years ago men
hardly could have imagined a labor
union gaining a directing voice in a
great banking house. Today such q
fact is accepted as worthy of no more
than passing notice. Yet it possibly is
a far more significant event than when
the law at last grudgingly recognized
the right Of labor to engage in COL
Iective bargaining.

Opinions Vary When Arkansa'

Many OF the nations newspapers in
discussing the mob outrages at Har-

fication on the part of the men in

masked and seemingly had provoca-

Leadership and the Next Congress

Although meeting day may be a

ready considering the question of
leadership in the next Congress-par-
ticularly as respects the House.

well defined. Mr.. Lodge will retain
his place at the head Of the foreign
eral supervision of the ma jority's pro-
gram And in Mr.. Smoot and Mr..
Curtfs-both keen and clever men

mentary practicable will have val
uables lieutenants.
1t is in the House new selections
must be made, and, of course, made
with. care. . Mr.. Mondell. the floor
leader in the present House, missed
his spring for the Senate. and so re-
tires. Mr.. Fordney and Mr.. Cannon
are retiring from choice. Mr.. Mann,
a most able adviser, Is no more.
The successors of these men In the
matter Of House management should
measure up to a high standard. The
next House will take the lead in much
important legislation, and should fash
ion it with party interests as we'll as
the public's interests in view. What
is done will enter. for better or for
worse into the next presidential cam
paign.
Fortunately, the republicans are
well supplied with the necessary tim
ber. There is leadership in a number
Of their men; and good, selections can
be made, with ability. congressional
experience and geographical location

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Familiars at the Feast.
A family skeleton once stood
At every feast, they say.
A family joke, not always good,
Now graces the display.
It Is a jest that grandpa dear
In early youth rehearsed.
We sigh, yet smile, when he draws
near,
Prepared to do his worst.
We simulate, to greet his chaff,
A spirit that Is high,
Although the pretense Of laugh
Is gloomier than a cry.
I wish, when all is said and done,
Some power they'd invoke
To give US back the skeleton
And bury that old joke.

Lord Grey of England and Signor
NittiN of Italy and says:
Lord Grey takes the position. that
the problems involved In reparations.
interallied Indebtedness, standing
are all part of one great problem and
cannot be settled piecemeal. Signor
Nitti takes the position that the
United States was the decisive factor
in ending the war, so must the United
States become the decisive factor In
imposing the ultimate conditions Of
peace. He points out that the su-
preme qualification of the United
States in this crisis Is its ability TO
speak the word of moral authority"
The article goes on to say that the
United States ought to be present at
every foreign conference as response
Bile participant and contends that
"the world needs the United States.
The propaganda IL designed for
effect upon the democrats. 1t Is not
likely to find an echo among the re-
publicans. This administration and
