There is .0 occasion for radical la
bor leaders to express surprise over
what they choose to call a "suddeL
displiv of backbone in the White
House That reference to President
Hardii.s's declaration that the deci
sions of the railroad labor board will
have the full backing of the govern
ment shows a failure to keep in mind
Air. ll.irdinj's public utterances in
the i st. Mr. Harding is piking no
new position.
In 1919. if we remember rightly at
the time the transportation act was
before the senate, it contained two
provisions relating to labor and
wages. One provision created a
board for adjustication of disputes
over wages and conditions of labor,
and t . eother n.ade it unlawful to en
ter in'o a conspiracy to interrupt in
ters ae traffic ( > railroads. This was
known as the anti-strike clause. Sen
ator Harding reported both provi
sions and was 'aken to task by the
Ohio reden Ion 0f railway employes,
who ; sked why he voted for the anti
strike clause. In a widely circulated
reply Mr. Harding said that in his
private pursuits as publisher he was
an employer of organized labor, hav
big never known a controversy with
his men, and that he believed in ra
tional unionism. Organization and
collective bargaining under wise
leadership had done mora to build
up Che cause of labor than all other
agencies combined. He added:
"I favored the anti-strike clause
because it applies to a public service
under government regulation in
which Congress exercises its power
to limit the return oa capital invest
ed, fixes rates at which the public
must be served, enacts the condi
tions under which service must be
rendered, and finally, in the anti
strike clause, provides a capable tri
bunal tor the adjustment of all la
bor grievances so no interruption in
transportation need be appreuended.
1 believe it not only consistent but a
distinct advance in behalf of the pub
lic and workmen alike. If the govern
ment representing all the people can
not guarantee service under any and
all conditions, it fails utterly. If that
same government cannot provide just
consideration of the workmen oper
ating the transportation system, it
fails agaiu. It must do both."
As passed by Congress the trans
portation act contained the provis
sion for the adjudication of disputes,
but the .anti-strike clause was elim
inated. leaving railroad employes
free to strike provided they violate
no other laws. Mr. Harding does not
put the case in any other terms as
president than he did when he was
senator. He manifests the same qual
ity of backbone now that he did then.
As a candidate, he spoke deliberate
ly, courageously, and wisely, and ha;
NOTED AMERICAN-HUNGARIAN VIOLINIST,

Lasalo Schwartz, noted Hungarian,

famous of American violinists, ar

Mr. Schawartz began his public ca

THE I'l.EK.U.E SCANDAL
Americans c.m find considerable
amusement in the British peerage
scand.it. The English public it wildly
excited over the discovery lhat titles
have been bought and paid for. 1* is
said that knighthoods have been
knocked down for $50,000 to
000. while baronetcies have been
Quoted at $175,000 to $200,000. And
| where no money has changed hands.
' ihere have been other considerations
I in many cases. The whole expose is
helping to clear up the mystery of
I why certain men received their ti
tles.
The bribery, if such it is. does uot
jseem often to have been individual —
nothing so raw as that. Funds paid
over ..ave usually gone to swell the
war chest of the dominant party
And that fact serves to bring out
the basic truth about the British
nobility—or almost any other mod
ern nobility, for that matter. It is
primarily political. Titles go some
times for distinguished publie serv
ice, but far oftener for intluence for
financial support.
Lloyd George has broken all rec
ords in this line. During his premier
ship of five and a half years he was
created or promoted 10S peers, about
20 a year. The King is supposed to
confer titles, but he confers them as
the premier directs.—Horning (Eu

1TK SKA I. S ALE ATTACKED
BY SENATOR HITCHCOCK
An investigation by the senate com
mittee on commerce looking to the
abrogation of contracts made by tho
government during the last adminis
tration, under which is claimed that
the government is losing a million
dollars a year and a St. Louis fur
company is making a handsome pro
fit. lias been demanded in the senate
by Senator Hitchcoock of Nebraska.
The senator said that the St. Louis
lirm was paid a flat rate of $20 for
cleaning and dressing each skin. The
greater proportion of the skins, he
said, were soid after they were dress
ed for only 50 cents to a dollar, re
sulting in a loss of $19 or more to
the government. "During the last year
Senator Hitchcock said 3,000 skins
»vere sold for less than the amount
paid by the government for the dress
ing.
Senator Spencer, of Missouri,
sought to explnin the situation on
the ground that a large number of in-'
l'erior skins had accumulated and
that the cost of dressing in 192X was
far in excess of that in 1919. The in
ferior skins naturally brought lower
prices, he said.
