The Operators Reject.

Rejection by the anthracite mine
operators OF Gov. Pinchot's invitation
and proposal to settle the strike by
basic terms leaves the situation al
most, but not quite, where it was be-
fore the governor essayed in the pub
lie interest to bring the two sides of
the dispute together. 1t, is not quite
where it was before for the reason
that the acceptance Of the governors
proposal by the union leaders indicates
an increasing desire on their part to
secure a settlement on terms differing
from their original contentious.
The operators reject the governors
proposal on several grounds. First,
they hold that the proposed arbitra-
ton would have power only to in
crease wages, which, they say. would
not be fair arbitration. They contend
that the Pinchot plan would be a
repetition of the Jacksonville mistake
of trying to maintain high prices in
order to pay high wages, and that an
agreement on prices is illegal. They
next demur to the proposition that
wages be fixed upon the basis of the
profits Of the industry. which they
reject as illogical and inequitable.
Finally they demur to the modified
check-off arrangement proposed by
the governor, characterizing any
form Of check-off as "repugnant to
reason and justice and barrier
rather than an aid to sound indus
trial relations

as a loss both TO the player and the
game that the dollars at the turn

seen in the case by the Baltimore SUN.
which feels that If good foot ball
| players all turned professional i'm
| mediately at the close of their last

the Sun comedies that Grange "can-
not pretend that he served his uni

and without thought of pay" it points
to the fact that "at that he has been
somewhat of philanthropist; this
high-priced expert has played several
dozen games for the University of Illi-
nois and has not charged a cent" In

vertised to play" Continuing, the

"And why should not Red take

passes out of the picture. He worked
on an ice wagon last Summer and
retained his amateur standing, though
1t might have been a little clouded.
| He is a poor boy. His father is a
man of no considerable means. Grange

than it can ever do for him." A
similar view is held by the Daven-
port Democrat, which declares that
"on the foot ball field he has some
thing that is all his own and that,
his college career over, he ought to
have the right to dispose of as he

Leaning over the young man, the

convulsed. Yah! Yah! YAH" he cried
lashing out with his arms. tears flow

gullies of his face, now screwed into

Passengers gave a sigh of relief,

Borah Counters.

SelIdlpI BOTdH, chairman OF the 1Or-
eign relations committee and opponent
of the entry Of the United States into
the World Court until that tribunal
has been made entirely independent
Of the League Uf Nations, has again
set forth his views very clearly In u
letter addressed to President Hibben
of Princeton University. His letter is
in reply to a request that he do not
court protocol by indirection.
The chairman of the Senate foreign
relations committee counters with a
charge that the prominent Americans
who with Prof. Hibben signed the re-
quest. are themselves engaged in an
effort to get the United States into
the League of Nations by indirection.
While you nominally write me con
cerning this court, thy speech be-
trayeth thee" said Senator Borah.
What you are all thinking about is
the league, and that by becoming a
member Of the league court we have
practically achieved what you most
desire"
This is the charge that will be used
again and again by opponents Of the
World Court protocol In the fight that
Is to come in the Senate, beginning
December IT, when by unanimous con-
sent the protocol is to come up for
consideration. They will ring the
changes on the charge that the World
Court as it is constituted today is the
creature of the league, and the league
is anathema. 1t is an effective line OF
argument which must be met by the
supporters of the proposal that the
United States adhere TO the present
court.
Senator Borah demands that the
World Court be divorced absolutely
from the league. There must be no
connection by the way Of maintenance
or advisory opinions rendered by the
court for the League Of Nations OF in
the selection Of judges OF the court.
Such divorce he holds to be an essen
tial before this country can join in

is one of "a small group Of irreconcil-
ables who voted 100000 majority
strong TO stay out OF the league in
1920 and repeated the instructions in
1924"
1t is clearly the purpose of the ''ir-
reconcilables" in the Senate, under the
leadership Of Senator Borah. to show
to the country that the World Court
and the league are practically one and
the same thing. 1t is just as clear
that President Coolidge and the SEN
ators who are supporting the entry
of the United States into the World
Court with the reservations already
proposed, must show the country that
the court as it now exists is really
an independent judicial body, non.
political court.
The purpose of the irreconcilables is
to gain time so as to convince the
country that they are right. They
League of Nations fight. sentiment
will swing with them the longer the
contest can be continued.
Senator Borah proclaims his own
desire for a World Court which shall
include the United States, but only
court which has no connection
with the League Of Nations. The prac
tical side of the question IS whether
the other nations of the world will
agree to scrap the tribunal which
they have already established in order
to meet the wishes of the United
States. Senator Borah believes they
will.
