the loss will have reached a total of
more than $500. 100000.
Though the docks at all the leading
ports have been picketed since the
beginning of the strike. there has
been very little violence. This is due
largely to the fact that the operators
have not attemptedito move cargo. In
this respect the present strike is in
marked contrast to the famous mari
time strike of 1884 which was accom-
panied by much violence. and which
finally eliminated in a short-lived
general strike in San Francisco.
The points at issue in the 1884 strike
were settled through arbitration. The
National Longshoremen's Board. APP
pointed by President Roosevelt. fixed
the wages for longshoremen al 95
cents per hour for a six hour day,
overtime to be paid at 81 40 per hour.
The hiring halls were to be controlled
by the employers and employees
jointly. A Labor Relations Committee
was set up in each port to handle dis
putes arising under the award. and

HOW ABOUT THE PRESS?
How influential is the Press?

HOW allllIueutidI Is Tie FI0SS
The answers that come back reveal
widely different opinions. Just now, one
hears much about the failure of the news
papers to exert decisive influence in the
recent presidential election. Later, there
will be other instances cited to show that
newspapers, en- masse, have lost their
power among the people of the country.
Before going much further with this
thought, it might be well to differentiate
between the metropolitan press, with its
huge investments and impersonal contact
with readers, and the so-called country
press, where the editor knows most of the
people in his area, and what is just as sig
nificant, they know him. In this latter
group the power of the press depends en-
tirely upon what the community thinks of
the printer or editor and it fluctuates
accordingly
The large-city press, with newspapers
Boosting hundreds of thousands of SUBJ
scribers and millions of dollars in revenue,
is seldom fortunate enough to possess en-
thusiastic followings. The newspaper, az
an institution of news and entertainment,
is bought as a, bargain, its contents perused
and the buyer is through with it3a Seldom
is it looked upon to champion any cause
except the more general3moyementso f4the
day. ~ ~
The influence of larger newspapers
rests largely upon their presentation of the
news or their treatment of public topics.
They attract the following that prefers
what they offer. When they go wrong, in
the opinion of their readers the individual
turns to competing sheet In the smaller
communities, when the newspaper goes
wrong, in the opinion of readers, the pop
ulation is apt to take it as personal af-
front and put up fight to get the news
paper on the right track
In some of the smaller cities and
towns of the country there are newspapers,
which the public regards as almost pub
lie possession, regardless of who owns or
manages them. The populace is interested
in what the newspaper advocates and
often takes hand in making known the
prevailing opinion. Here, if anywhere,
survives some vestige of editorial power
and newspaper influence but just how
strong it is, anywhere, depends upon the
faith of a community in the ability and
honesty of the representative of the
Press.

A LONGER LIFE FOR MAN

Since the dawn of civilization man
better health and longer life. Many
contagious diseases have been stamped
out. Mortality rates have steadily i'm
proved. Even the nations appalling death
rate in child birth of $4,000 mothers and
$4,000 babies year is a vast improve
ment over few decades ago.
Yet in this age of dental science,
there is surprising neglect of the teeth by
millions of otherwise Intelligent Amer
leans. The death toll from disease spring
ing from infectious teeth, is shocking, :, in
deed. Medical Science finds sfhh1 when
poisons from such infections drain into
the blood stream, man is subject to many
ills, ranging from rheumatism to heart
disorders.
Some health groups report that four
million of our school children have very
serious dental defects, while another
twenty three million are in pressing need
of dental care, with an average of from
four to six decayed teeth. At least half
of the school children have malplaced
teeth which may bring on trouble, and at
best will tend to destroy good looks in
adult life. 1t is responsibility mothers
have neglected through sheer lack of
knowledge, in the view of the Dental In
stitute of America, which is fighting dis
eases of the mouth. Parents themselves
set poor examples, as illness records dis
close. Only twenty per cent of all Amer
leans visit the dentist regularly, despite
the very low annual cost of keeping fit
through proper care.
AS the Institute wisely points out, the
mouth is a main gateway to disease, and
parent-teacher and women's clubs more
generally might we'll give serious thought
to the proper protection of the rising gen,

providing in every case that during
the duration of the agreement or
award there was to be no strike or
lockout.
Unfortunately. however. marine
labor disturbances continued. not
withstanding the agreements and
awards. In period of one and one
half years there were more than two
hundred separate strikes or stop
pages Of work, often for the most
trivial causes. Thus when the German
cruiser Karlsruhe visited San Fran
cisco work was stopped on all ships
in the port for one hour. as protest.
Many of the strikes were sympathy
strikes,-a refusal to handle so-called
"hot cargo" These strikes were Wig
orously condemned by Judge Sloss.
the principal arbitrator. as violation
of the agreements.
Some of the agreements expired In
the fall of 1886. and at that time the
shipowners and the unions served
Due to the failure to agree. despite
pressure from the Department of
Labor and the newly created United
States Maritime Commission. the
strike was called. and thus far II has
proven impossible to reach a settle
ment. The shipowners have agreed TO
arbitrate all issues. but the unions
have refused to arbitrate certain
points. such as preferential employs
ment for all seafaring unions and
complete control Of hiring by the
longshoremen. The difficulty of effect
ing settlement is greatly increased
because of the fact that there are two
groups of employers tthe Coastwise
Operators and the Offshore Opera
tors), and seven unions Qongshore-
men: masters. mates. and pilots: engi-
neers: firemen: sailors: cooks and
stewards: and radio telegraphers).
At the date of writing there is no
way of telling whether the strike will
continue for days. weeks. or months.
The situation has become so serious,
in fact. that determined efforts are
being made to induce President
Roosevelt to use his great influence
to bring the controversy TO an end. so
that the free flow of commerce in this
region may be resumed.
