UGLY>WARFARE

ONE Of the ugliest little labor disputes this
~ country has had all year seems to be the
one which centers III the onion fields OF Har-
din county. Ohio. There has been long-con-
tinued violence. and much bitterness; and the
latest development is the voting of an indict-
ment. which charges pointing firearms and
assault with intent to kill. against Okey Odell,
leader of the strikers.
Previously. band of thirty or forty 'vigi-
lantes" had kidnapped Odell. taken him to an
isolated spot. beaten him. and warned him
never to come back to the strike scene. Oden
armed himself and came back; the indictment
Is the latest move.
AL of this is an obvious reflection OF a sit
uation in which anger and defiance have gone
10 undue lengths. Federal conciliators have
made unsuccessful attempts to set things
straight It looks as If they ought to make an
other effort. The onion war" though small.
is taking an ugly turn.

NEW AIR SERVICE

WTITHIN the last few days American Air

Chicago to Dallas, Tex. On this line the air
time for the trip has been slashed three

Two weeks ago, officials of the American
Airlines extended an invitation to Indian
apolis and Cincinnati newspaper men to make
the inaugural flight. From the time the
blocks were pulled from the wheels of the
ship here until the time the blocks were
placed under the wheels in Chicago. only
sixty-four minutes elapsed. Members OF the
flight party were out of the city slightly
more than four hours, two hours of which
were spent in Chicago.
Such service can not be ignored And In
dianapolis, which has one of the outstanding
airportS in the nation, should be the first to
take advantage of the forward steps in avi-
alton.

FROM ONE Stun TO ANOTHER

D BUILDING dilapidated dwellings in
~ sIum areas is an exceedingly important
lob But if it is to have the effect it should
have. rents in the new dwellings must be with
in the reach of the people who formerly occu-
pied the Sums.
A case in point is coming to light in a mid
western industrial city, where the govern
ment is about to spend millions putting up
new homes in one of its worst slum areas.
Approximately four hundred families are be-
ing moved out Of the buildings that are being
torn down-and now it develops that most of
them will continue to live in that neighborhood
IN other dilapidated buildings. or will move out
OF the neighborhood altogether. The new
buildings will be too costly for them.
Spending millions on slum clearance will
do little good. if new slums going to re-
place the old ones.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND

1t makes not one jot of difference
whether textbooks are given in
digents free by the school board, or
not, for experience has shown that
private agencies of relief expand or
fold up directly as public aid Is
available or not.
But when books and supplies are
provided in a given case, it is case
of intellectual dishonesty, even
though not so intended, not to :
vide all things needed.
Why rate a given family as merit
ing free books. then expect that
family to be forever buying their
children paints, pencils, special drill
paper, special arithmetic paper, and
the like?
In high school this criticism can
not be made, but in the lower
grades there is a continual demand
for small but difficult expenditures.
The annoyance to INDECENT parents
Of thinking that their meager in
come of a few cents day can be
applied all to absolute necessities
only to find that there are school
purchases to make, is out of all pro-
portion to the amounts involved. The
school board should in a given Ease
provide all supplies or none.

JUDGMENT UNDER PRESSURE

THE more one reads about the tragedy on
the liner Moro Castle, the more one is
impressed by the terrible weight of RESPONSE
oility which can descend without warning, on
the shoulders of the man who holds a COM
mand at sea.
No other walk of life can bring RESPONSE
bilities quite like the sea captains. In the
twinkling of an eye he may be called on to
make decisions that will mean life or death
to hundreds of people-and he lever gets a
second guess. His decision, once made is
irrevocable. His slightest error in Judgment
can be fraught with unspeakable consequences.
For this reason it behooves us landlubbers
to move slowly in condemning the man who
had charge of the MORO Castle during the
fire. 1t smay be that he made wrong decisions.
But We can not judge them fairly unless we
realize that the sea captains mistakes are
made under pressure that none of us who
stay ashore will ever know

hour conversation would have been more
fruitful
But they, didn't know. and they let the
generals talk them out Of their peace plans.
The car told his general staff to suspend
mobilization. while he and Wilhelm talked
peace; the kaiser told his staff to mobilize only
against France. while the trouble with Russia
was settled.
And each staff replied that the thing was
impossblel The war machines were already
in action; they were too cumbersome and I'M
comfortable to be halted. So this final chat
between Hohenzollern and Romanoff went for
nothing. They never had a chance TO have
another.
A tragic moment Of history. that tele-
graphed conversation-tragi for its missed
opportunity. for its good impulses sacrificed
to weak wills. This obscure headline in 1884

A PRINCELY CHAT

IT was Just little story. buried away inside
Il in a newspaper that was heavy With more
important news. It bore the headline, 'Ro-
manon has chat with Hohenzollern."
The tine was the last part of July in 1914.
The shadow of war was falling long across
Europe. Mobilization had been ordered in
Germany and Russia.
What happened. it seems. was simply that
Prince Frederick. grandson OF the former Ger
man kaiser. was guest at a London party
given by Prince and Princess YousSoupof. the
latter a niece Of the last car OF Russia. And
there was no particular reason why anyone
should think twice about it-except that the
headline itself was a melancholy reminder OF
the great opportunity which fate once gave
to a Hohenzollern and Romanoff. and which
they both muffed.
Then. Just before the formal declarations
OF hostilities had been made. Romanoff and
Hohenzollern tried TO arrange a peaceful
settlement Monarch spoke TO monarch-oy
telegraph. Each one. at the last minute.
wanted peace.
Now If mortsls could have the git OF sec

the end for both emperors. The cars road

HOPEFUL FIGURES

ONE comforting bit of business news is to
~ be found in the Dun &, Bradstreet tabu-
lation of building permits in 215 leading Amer
lean cities
This tabulation shows a slight, but definite
upward trend in the building industry. A
total of s34 900 worth of building was
initiated in August. for instance. This figure
represents a small increase over the figures for
July to August of about per cent. Further
that very small increase is significant when
one recalls that there is usually decline from
July to August of about per cent. Further
more. the figures for August are 63 per cent
above the figures for the same month in 1888.
One seems justified, then, in concluding
that the building industry is beginning to re-
vive Unfortunately, the revival has a dis
mayingly long way to go. This figure for
August 1894 is less than quarter of the fig
ure for August, $780, Even small rise is
something to be thankful for, but it will have
to get lot higher to do us very much good
