The EXPRESS Strike.

Yesterday morning about 5000 en-
ployes of the American Railway Ex-
press Co. in New York City went on
strike and tied up the deliveries of all
materials handled by that organization,
which reach a total of about 700 car
loads day. This merchandise includes
food supplies, and the stoppage of de-
liveries, If continued, would seriously
affect the provisioning of the metro
politan area. Efforts to carry on the
! work of distribution with non-union
operatives we're resisted by the strikers,
but fortunately there was no disorder
although the movement of goods was
seriously impeded and great quantities
of perishaoles accumulated at termi-
mails.
This strike, which will probably be
settled in short order, grows out of a
jurisdictional dispute between labor or
ganizations. There are two brother
hoods in competition for the member
ship of the teamsters, chauffeurs and
stablemen who handle express traffic.
These are the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters and the Brotherhood of
Railway and Steamship Clerks. Some
years ago the American Federation of
Labor ruled that the teamsters' broth
erhood should have jurisdiction over
the men who are in dispute, but the
other organization refused to obey the
edict and was ousted from the fedora
tionS Last December a peace agree
ment was arranged and in May the
federation council lifted the ban from
the railway clerks and they were well
coined back into that organization, this
action to be brought before the fedora
ton itself at the New Orleans meeting
next month for final settlement. The
president of the Brotherhood of Rail
way and Steamship Clerks has declared
that the action of the New York ex-
pressmen in striking is without the
sanction of the brotherhood and has
ordered the strikers to return to service
Immediately. This is in consequence
of realization that the starting of
an unauthorized strike seriously preju-
dices the status of the brotherhood be-
fore the federation. It is expected that
the brotherhood executive, who is now
on the scene of action, will secure a
speedy resumption of work. But the
incident has its serious effect in demon
strating the insecurity of contracts with
labor organizations whose status is un-
certain.
The stoppage of the distribution of
food supplies strikes at the health and
even the life Of the community. The
delivery of necessities is a prime essen
tial and if interrupted it may cause a
desperate situation, justifying the most
extreme measures for correction. I'm
certain relationships and unstable re-
sponsibilities growing out of jurisdic-
tional disputes cannot be tolerated.
The right of collective bargaining, as
it is called, imposes the responsibility
for faithful performance, under such
agreements as may be reached through
collective action. Any breaking of con-
tract in a service which vitally affects
the welfare of the community is an
offense against which the law may be
invoked. Applications of injunction
writs would in such condition be fully
justified, although the inequity Of the
invocation Of the law in restraint Of
strikes may be evident in other cases.

And simply work, to meet the test,
Because lever has been pressed!

To the Editor of The Star:
Speaking of having the dirigible Los
Angeles properly lighted, why not con-
slider stationary or revolving light on
top of the Washington Monument?
This no doubt would mean consider
able expense to erect, but think what
would happen If an aeroplane or diri-
gible would crash into this tall and i'm
posing shrine and mar its beauty.
The Arlington and navy yard towers
have their danger signals, and as traffic
in the air at night is continuously grow
ing, believe this article should have
some consideration before it Is too late.

NOTICE.!
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
COUNTY OF

On last Sunday, the undersigned requested a complaint to
be filed against E. R. Redich, before the officers Of Cameron
County, charging him with having violated the criminal laws of
this state, by removing a mortgaged automobile from this state,
in which mortgage the undersigned was interested; and also re-
quested that a warrant for his arrest be issued, which was done.
On investigation of the facts, I find that I was mistaken as to the
existence of the fact that justifies this prosecution, and in fair
ness to myself and to Mr.. Redlich, this statement is being made
for the purpose of correcting any impression the public may
have gotten as the result Of the institution Of this prosecution.

"A democratic primary ticket with

am going to look this up; an sure
there Is an error somewhere" was
the comment of one of Mr.. Dewey's
Brownsville friends when the an

cred the fact that Mr.. Dewey is en-
titled 10 a place on the courty tick
