HUNGER STRIKE IN INDUSTRY.
The closing of the great Ford manufacturing
plant ia not, we are told by Ita owner, on account
ut s shortage of fuel, but it a protest against what
he considers extortionate ratea demanded by coal
producers. He hai enlisted In a crusade againt
pronteerinir, and declnrea hit Intention of battling
to the end against what he calls the greed of the
coal men.
Borne reason exists for tho belief Mr. Ford ex
presses. Secretary Hoover's fair price agreement
was not sufficient to restrain all, nor did the dis
tributing agency tentatively set up achieve more of
service. Illinois operators lent week announced an
arbitrary increase, of f 1.26 per ton, for the avowed
purpose of distributing strike losses over tho cominir
eight months, so that in April next year they will
be just where they would have been had the strike
not occurred. Such B "head I win; tail, you lose"
policy was never before known In American indus
try. However, a broader and deeper policy is involved
than lies in the mere charge of profiteering. The
law of aupply and demand ia the basia of trade free
from artificial control. The owner of any article
" PRINCIPLE OF A LIVING WAGE."
The Railroad Labor board, according to latest
Information, haa been asked to set itself a definite
task, that of determining what ia a living wage. More
has been said and written about thla point within
the last decade than on all other economic topics
combined, with the possible exception of taxation.
And, a on almost all other mooted points in the
science, the opinions cover the entire 180 degrees
from pole to pole.
It ia not easy to give the proposition in simple
terms, for It involves too much. All through life
examples are afforded of two men working side by
tide, under similar conditions, performing identical
operations, and paid at exactly the same rate. One
will accumulate savings, tho other will barely pull
through. Which of these is to be accepted at the
example to support the principle of a living waget
Concrete examples nearly always confuse ab
stract proposals. For this reason it will be ex
tremely difficult to lay down figures that are rigid
and exact. A living wage may mean much or little,
according to the quality of living that is to be pro
vided. A saving wage Is open to the sumo criticism.
What Americans expect ia that workers will be paid
on a basis that will permit them to enjoy aome of
the good things of life, to make provision for days
of adversity, whether from sickness or age, in other
words, to render them secure against evil fortune.
The difference in individuals, in disposition and
capacity, is an always present factor in wage agree
ments, affecting not only the wage but the atint on
which tho wage in based. W, Jett Lauck on one aide
nnd Dr. Charles P. Neal on the other may produce
bewildering arrays of figures, the results of abstruse
calculations, and each convince his followers. Yet
the "living wage" will be as far away as ever, for it
is natural for a man when his wage improves to
equally extend his way of living.
RIGHTS FOR ALIEN RESIDENTS.
The Kellogg bill, intended to give effect to the
president's recommendation that atepi be taken to
afford proper protection to resident aleini, is now
before the senate committee, where It is subject to
attack from labor representatives. Their theory ia
that the Kellogg measure ia simply designed to set
is commonly permitted to affix his own telling price t! up the federal government as a strike-breaking
to that article, and it is the right of the purchaser I gency.
to pay it or decline. Coal is subject to this law,
with the preacnt disadvantage that coal lit not alone
subject to artificial control, but that an unusual de
mand exists for the output of the mines.
Congress is considering measures to place the
distribution of fuel under governmental direction
for such period as the emergency may continue. It
is not clear whether fixation of price will be included
in the measure. Yet the distributing agency's oper
ation should have more than a tendency to also con
trol price, for it will prevent discrimination In de
livery, and so in a measure forbid extortion.
Some further expression from Mr. Ford may be
of interest, for example, his idea of what la a rea
sonable price for coal. He has several times said
that the existing prices are too high, but has not
told what he thinks the figure ought to be. Laying
this aside, his protest is one that will get a great
deal of attention. His own record is in his favor,
for he has consistently reduced the selling price of
his output as often as quantity production made it
possible to lower prices and yet receive a reasonable
return.
How far tho crusade will be effective must await
the issue. It is a novelty in American lifa, the hun
ger atrik in industry. Things have reached a pass
where the great bulk of public thought will doubt
less approve Mr. Ford's course in theory if not in
practice.
WORK FOR THE LEAGUE.
Some interesting problems are to come before
the League of Nations at its approaching meeting.
One of these, it- is said, will provide a real test of
the quality of the organization's fabric, it being the
first dispute between first class powers to be pre
sented. France, it appears, has given offense to
Great Britain, through undertaking to force French
citizenship on certain Maltese domiciled in Algeria.
How serious the dispute may be will turn on ex
amination of all the facts in the case. Once such
a procedure would have been the equivalent of a
declaration of war; nowadays it partakes more of a
question for inquiry and diplomatic adjustment.
Yet, with relation between England and France al
most at a breaking point over the settlement with
Germany, even so slight a matter as the status of
insignificant islanders or colonials may prove enough
to snap the bond.
Another matter which may come up and which
is of considerable moment will be the suggestion
made by Austria to Italy that the two nations be
economically united. Whether this ia a question
for the League, inasmuch as Austria is not a mem
ber, and the union is not to be political, may be de
bated, but the proposal ia one that will bear exam
ination for ita merits at well as for it novelty.
The approaching session of the League, there
fore, it to bo fraught with real interest, because of
the important European questions to be considered.
Out of this may proceed proof of the utility or lack
of it on part of the organitation.
As framed, the measure is designed to afford pro
tection to foreign-born residents of the country, sub
jects of other powers who are temporarily domiciled
in this country. Omaha has, one one occasion at least,
noted the effects of a mob pursuing men so situated,
and it was not with any purpose of settling a strike
or stabilizing the labor market. On a number of
occasions the government at Washington has been
required to make the shameful confession that it can
not protect foreigners against violence, because of
the peculiar divided responsibility under our form
of government. One of the notable incidents of this
nature was the case of the Mafia riots at New Orleans,
when Mr. Blaine found it not easy to convince Italy
that the federal government could not invade New
Orleans to give police protection to threatened sub
jects of Italy. i
When an American abroad is assaulted, or sub
jected to any indignity, a great fuss is usually made
in this country. Not that we are bullies, but because
we want to protect American citizens everywhere in
the peaceful pursuit of their lawful business.
Equally, then, we should give full protection to citi
zens of other countries while they are here. These
are not always strikebreakers; quite as often they
are strikers. Whatever they are, so long as they are
peaceful they deserve protection, and to this policy
no reasonable objection can be made.
SAVING THE WORK AT MUSCLE SHOALS.
An appropriation of $600,000 is set aside by
congress to carry on the work at Muscle Shoals,
where the money spent on the great Wilson dam is
in danger of being lost because of deterioration.
This will be for the month of September only, as an
additional $7,500,000 becomes available in October.
Whether the completed works be turned over to
some private agency to operate, or whether it be
conducted under the direction of the government, it
will stand for all time a monument to the reckless
method of conducting the war adopted by the Wil
son administration. The money spent there was di
verted from other purposes, and, while it may rep
resent the judgment of the president and his secre
tary of war, to most of the people it stands as a
part of the great scheme whereby certain shrewd
manipulators secured an immense amount of gov
ernment cash to push a private speculation. This
phase did not cease with the war, but has been
persisted in since. The Norris report on the Ford
proposal gives an excellent survey of the tituation,
and what the federal government it in danger of
losing, unless vigorous and comprehensive action is
taken to protect the enormous investment now tied
up there. Congress is protecting the work as it
stands, but there is more to be done.
The embezzler who gave himself up at the peni
tentiary rather than fool around with further ap
peals to the law probably thought ha was saving
himself and the taxpayers trouble; and he may be
right at that.

critical. "We are living In lax times."
"Our country 1 on the way to pcr

The plays which are drawing the
largest crowdn on Itroadway, It 1
true, may contain problem hereto
fore considered too Intimate for dis

upon sensitive ears. The book of
the day may dwell too liberally upon
the principles of life.. Even the
young people, who have not had the
advantage of tV.elr elders' restrictive
training and censored reading, are
the targets for much indignant criti
cism. They are not modest; they
have no reserve!
But a true critic snoum ne amo
