BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June &c.
Only about half of the A. and P.
and Hill Company butchers on
strike here got their jobs back when
a sell-out agreement, engineered by
G. L. Richardson, Department of
Labor representative, left wages to
arbitration after ten weeks of mill
tant picketing.
Pasteurizing and raw milk dis
tIibution workers are demanding
better wages and improved condi-
tions, charging discrimination
against workers engaged in union
activity. Strike sentiment grows
while Richardson tries hard to head
off the strike of pipe workers also.
The T. c. I. Blast, Communist Party
shop paper, has appeared with an
exposure of the T. C. I. company

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June a.
A new flare-up of the wave of
strikes in and around Birmingham
is indicated by the latest events in
a number of industries.
1t is rumored that workers of two
of the three cast-iron shops here
have already taken a strike vote for
their demand of a wage increase of
10 cents an hour, union recognition
and collective bargaining. While
the companies offer an increase of
only three cents, the union leaders
are willing to compromise on five

STARS AND STRIPES SOCIALISM

EORTY- TWO THOUSAND people live under
a system Of almost complete Socialism in
the Panama Canal Zone. They thrive under
individualistic as any other group of Ameri-
cans, but they are contented with the collec-
twist fulfllment Of their wants Administration
Of the Canal Zone compares favorably with the
best examples of British colonial administra-
ton, and well may be considered a model for
other territories and dependencies of the
United States.
These are among the observation Of DR..
Marshall E Dimock, who has just completed
an independent survey Of the Canal Zone
government services under auspices of the
public administration clearing house. The
Chicago University Press has published his re-
port under the title Government Operated
Enterprises in the Panama Canal Zone"
In the Canal Zone, the government is the
butcher, the baker and the soap-maker 1t is
the milkman and the cobbler. 1t roasts the
coffee and bakes the bread. 1t distributes the
groceries, the dry goods and the hardware 1t
owns all of the homes and the furniture in
them, and collects the rents. 1t processes soft
drinks and operates the recreation clubs. The
Canal Zoner knows he neither will get rich nor
go hungry, and that by thrift and industry he
can improve his own lot.
DR.. Dimock found that pride of service and
honesty permeate the Canal Zone administra-
ton. and that judged by ordinary business
standards, the governments Isthmian enter
prises have been a success. He cited dividends
equivalent to rs per cent of its capital stock
paid into the treasury in the last thirty years
by the Panama Railroad Company which now
owns $35,OOO0O0 worth of capital assets, al
though its capital stock is still only 100000.
Among the changes recommended by DR..
Dimock to improve efficiency in the Canal
Zone are:
Merger of the Panama Canal and the Pan
ANA Railroad Company into a Panama Canal
Corporation in order to consolidate authority
and responsibility and eliminate present in
consistencies arising out Of control and opera
ton by the canal authorities of properties
actually owned by the railroad company
Abolition of the office of United States min
lister to the Panama Republic and assignment
of all Penamanian diplomatic responsibilities
to the governor Of the Canal Zone.

1T is five years since we signed Locarno.
II you had given me one concession, I could

This was the failure Of diplomacy in 1914
it was too late. SO it has been, also. since the
armistice. And so it is today-diplomacy is
always too late.

NAVY MEN ON LINERS

RY agreement with the navy department.
- Commerce Secretary Roper announces
that senior navy officers, as a result of the
Moro Castle disaster, will travel on American
merchant ships to see that fire and boat drills
are held and that all other safeguards of life
are in good condition.
Certainly the government should adopt the
policy of sending inspectors on passenger ships
to check them in action. But We believe the
use Of naval men, while temporarily expedient
is not the ultimate solution. The steamship
inspection service must be made good enough
to stand on its own feet and to inspire the full
faith of the ship-traveling public
But the recent inquiry, plus the incident
where q commerce department inspector put
his hammer through the tank of a previously
inspected MORO Castle lfeboat plus the bar
ring Of reporters when inspectors boarded the
Moro Castles sister ship Oriente, shows clear
ly that the present inspection service is not
what it should be.
1t is possible that the inspection service
has been hampered by lack of sufficient men
and money. But it is clear that only sea
disaster can show up the deficiencies in il,
Secretary Roper, We believe. should lose no
time in creating an inspection service beyond
criticism.

TWO GROUPS MAY
OPPOSE MINTON

BY E. T. Meloy.
The writer recalls a story in a
third or fourth grade reader con-
corning a war between the birds and
beasts which is legendary, of course.
AS the story goes, the bat first was
invited by the birds to join their
ranks. The bat refused, stating
that he was a beast. When the
beasts invited the bat to their army,
the bat refused. stating that he was
bird.
When peace was declared the bat
was rejected by birds and beasts
alike.
The above legend holds true today
in the case of Sherman Minton,
Democratic candidate for United
States senate. He first declared
himself against the Constitution.
Finding himself rejected, not only
by Republicans but by members Of
his own party who still believe in
the Constitution, he reversed him
self and processes TO be a supporter
Of the Constitution
Like the bat in the story, Mr.
Minton may find himself rejected by
the New Dealers and the Constitu-
tional Democrats alike.

Capital Capers
BY GEORGE ABEL

/ COVIET AMBASSADOR TROYANOVSKY has
- sailed on the Aquitania bound for Moscow
and some conferences on the debt negotiations
Before leaving, Envoy Troyanovsky gave q
little demonstration of his skill at carrying
figures in his head which should prove useful
! to him in the future.
Guest of honor at a farewell party in the
soviet embassy was Jose Capablanca, the Cuban
chess championship has defeated not few
Russians in his day.
Conversation was proceeding placidly in the
middle of lunch, when Capablanca put down his
! fork and remarked:
Nov, that reminds me few days ago
my queen was in a tough spot. You know the
Muzio gambit with its double sacrifices. don't
you? 1t develops like this. White moves pawn
to K4 ditto black. Then, P-KB4 P takes P, Kt-
B3, P-KKt4. B-B4, P-KKt5
Guests thought for moment that Capa-
blanca was talking Russian.
But Troyanovsky's eyes cleaned with interest
"Da. d." he said, nodding his head land
then white castles, P takes KIT and Black moves
his queen to 3D."
For the next five minutes figures flew about
the table while Capablanca discussed the con-
servative Giuoco Piano opening, and Troyanov-
sky described Kieseritzkis kings bishops gambit
This" remarked guest later has me COM
petely dazed. Any one who can talk chess with
Capablanca certainly can do much toward solv-
ing the Russian debt problem"
MYTH Soviet Ambassador Troyanovsky sail
w ing for Russia, announcement is made that
American Ambassador Bill Bullitt is returning
to Washington for debt conferences here.
Bullitt is coming back via the Siberian
railway and will visit Japan as well as emma.
His principal aim is reported to be to discuss
debts, but he also wants to enjoy Christmas
dinner in Philadelphia.
Other moves to and from Soviet Russia at
this time include:
Jolly, rotund George Hanson American con-
sul-general in Moscow, who is returning on leave
of absence George used to be in Hardin and
speaks Chinese as we'll as Russian. Once he
danced a sword dance here dressed in Russian
blouse-but that was some years ago.
Ivan V. Bovev, assistant peoples commissar
for foreign trade OF the U. S. S. r., comes to
New York as the new chairman Of the board
Of directors Of the Antorg Trading Corporation
He succeeds Peter a. Bogdanov, who was well
known in Washington.
DROBABLY the wittiest remark about the
Mexican polo team. which departed yester-
day after playing a hard but futile series Of
games against the United States army team,
was made by young lady during the game last
Sunday
She observed (after Mexican player barely
moved the ball a couple of feet:
Why, they must have learned to play on
miniature golf counsel"
The Mexicans nearby chuckled good-na-
turedly. and the remark was bruited abroad, and
even repeated at the sherry party given for the
Mexican team at the Spanish embassy.
In fact, there was no bad feeling at any time.
Everything was serene. and the Mexicans left
after series of hospitable teas, dinners and the
supners topped by gala cocktail party given

MONDAY. ocT. 3. 1898
TIME TO ACT

GONE people have wondered why The Times
- urges civil service and state supervision
in the county penal institutions. Saturday
nights attempted break from the Marion
county Jail should be a sufficient reply.
It happened that police headquarters was 10
Gated directly across from the Jail. It hap
pened that the police force was prompt and
efficient Otherwise four thugs-Giberson.
Hubert, Love and Cummings-would once
more be adrift to prey upon the community.
Remember that these criminals we're caught
by policemen-not by sherifs who were in
charge of the Jail. It is not the function Of
the police to keep men in prison. That is the
responsibility Of those in charge Of our penal
institutions.
There are several questions about that Sat-
urday night performance which remain to be
answered by the sheriff and his men.
How we're these four desperadoes able to
escape into a corridor while they were being
marched back from supper?
How were they able to fashion rope out
of mattress ticking?
How did they hide from the jailers the fact
that they we're manufacturing skeleton key,
a lever made from bed slat and lock pick?
How did they procure four hack saws?
Above all, how could they have gone un-t
observed for at least week while they sawed
four bars in an OUTSIDE window which was
some distance from their cells?
One answer will be that county funds have
been reduced to such an extent that there are
now only three jailers on duty at night in the
institution. True this is insufficient.
But the problem cuts deeper than that One
experienced, trained jaier who knows his job
depends on his efficiency ALONE, is worth
any three political time servers.
The facts are that Indianas penal admin
istration both state and county has Jagged
behind that of any sister states The Times
straw vote of legislators and legislative candi-
dates Of both parties indicates strongly that
the prison and state police systems will receive
a thorough overhauling at the next session.
It is high time.

WEALTH AT ITS WORST

TT is not often, luckily, that the courts are
called upon to handle quite so dreary a mess
as that presented currently by the effort OF
assorted relatives to decide who is to have
the custody of little Gloria Morgan Wander
bilt.
Here, drawn from the testimony of sworn
witnesses, We get another variant on the DID,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS story OF the poor lit
tie rich girl" And what a story it is!
Heiress to vast wealth though she is, this
little girl seems to have had far less happi-
ness than the ordinary child of poor parents
gets. The whole case might have been de-
signed purposely to point to the old. hack
neyed moral-money doesn't necessarily bring
happiness.
But whatever the pity the ordinary news
paper reader feels for this youngster is apt to
be swallowed up in indignation at the tribe
responsible for her plight. Heaven help the
republic, if this case gives fair croSs-section
Of the ways OF Americas upper class.

THE FENCING MASTER

CENATOR WILLIAM E. BORAH (Rep,
- Idaho, may appear in Indiana in be-
half of Senator Arthur r. Robinson, or in
behalf OF the Republican party, or against the
Democratic party-but he certainly isn't COM
hitting himself
Senator Borah's visit was announced by
the Republican high command some time ago.
Curious. since the senator's swing around the
nation this summer has been devoted almost
entirely to denouncing what he calls the tos
tering monopolies under the New Deal, The
indianapolis Times wrote to the senator to
inquire the nature of his Indiana address
He was asked specifically whether he was
going to speak for Lii Arthur" or whether he
would stick to his anti-monopoly theme.
Senator Borah answered as follows:
i hope to find the time to speak in some OF
the middlewestern states. have no definite
dates at this time or any definite engagement.
Wherever I go, you may be assured my
speeches will be in accordance with what
have expressed and in support of that pro-
gram"
His somewhat cryptic message would seem
to leave Senator Borah very much on the
fence-almost as much on the fence as he has
been for years in regard to his political af-
fllations. 1t would seem, too, to indicate that
Senator Borsh is still the same man whom a
Washington correspondent for a New York
newspaper once characterized as follows:
He can not or will not follow Neither Will
he lead He simply wants to play lone
hand"
Perhaps the Hoosier odd guard" will have
to worry along without him

OFFERS NEW CODE OF
TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

BY Joe B. Adler.
I noted in The Times an article
from the Richmond Palladium rela-
tive to the rights of the pedestrian.
| Almost from the time an automobile
first was put upon the market l
have spoken upon this subject to
lawyers and laymen.
According to the common law, the
pedestrian has the right of way
Therefore, it always has been a
mystery to me why the authorities
did not enforce this law 1t was
only few days ago that I again
brought this matter to the atten-
ion of traffic officer and requested
him to call the attention of the
chief to it.
He remarked that the public
would pay no attention to it, but
told him where there is a will there
is a way" That rule can be en-
forced just the same as any other
rule and after it has been in force
a reasonable length of time it will
become the custom like anything
else. That is one method of reduc-
ing deaths and accidents less serious.
I suggested to this officer that it
would be a good idea for traffic
authority to raise his hand the very
second the light changes from stop
to 90, or vice versa, and every driver
dare not proceed until he lowers his
hand. The press can give notice to
the public of this change in the
rules and it then will be observed.
If some one deliberately violates, let
him be arrested. After few violat-
ors are penalized they will learn
their lesson. I feel thoroughly con-
fdent that the introduction of this
method will be of inestimable bene-
fit to the public.
In addition to this suggest the
following:
No person under q shall be given
a license to drive. Every person
should be examined physically and
mentally to determine if he is quail
fed to handle car properly in the
event Of an emergency. Then he
must be put to a test by competent
men, in a reasonable way, before
granting license.
Every person licensed must be
bonded in a good company to show
responsibility. Dispense with horns
entirely and make every driver slow
speed when near every corner, ir-
respective of light signal. Dispens-
ing with horns will stop a tremen-
dous amount Of racket.

VETERANS FRIENDS

Sherman Minton's statement that
he favors a bonus for veterans will
not be taken seriously by the vet
Grams. His habit Of reversing him
self is well known. The veterans
will recall similar promises from
Democratic candidates which never
were kept.
The Democratic party always has
shown enmity toward war veterans.
On the other hand, the veterans
have always been favored by the
Republican party, as its records will
show. 1t was Lincoln who said:

HELPING HITLER

NTUSSOLINTS announcement OF the inmi-
Iva nent accord between Italy and France
was expected. 1t gives one more hitch to the
line that is tightening around Hitlers Ger
many. Nothing less than this fellowship in
fear Of revived German militarism could have
overcome the postwar hostility between
France and Italy.
This accord IS even more significant against
the background of European realignmert since
Hitler consolidated his control over Germany
and reached out for Austria Since then
France has revoked her anti-Soviet policy and
brought Russia into the League of Nations
The growing isolationist trend in London sud-
IDENTIFY has been reversed by the sharp state
ment of Stanley Baldwin that hereafter the
British frontier is on the Rhine. That made
easy the joint declaration by Great Britain,
France and Italy reaffirming the independ-
ence of Austria
So again Europe's destiny rests unessily
on the old base Of balance Of power. This time
the balance against Germany is even stronger
than in 1914
Specifically Germany is to blame The
Hitler movement inevitably allied the other
powers against Germany.
But the tragedy is that these powers except
Russia. which today form an alliance against
Germany are the same powers which produced
HitleriSm. Great Britain. France and Italy
forced the unjust peace Of Versailles upon
Germany which already had overthrown the
kaiser and the militaristS. Then the allies,
drunk with victory and the dictatorship OF
