French that a powerful group of financiers and industrial chiefs are preparing to enter a bid for the purchase of Hog Island. The recent history of the mummoth plant cats. indeed, a rather curious light upon contemporary American tem perament. High hopes tlint 'the gov ernment would take over the yard for depot or army purposes have lately been entertained." Matthew C. Ilrtish, of the American International Ship building Corporation, frankly regarded such a move ns probable. Hut the gov ernment's official decision to auction off the yard followed almost immediately, and private enterprise seemed to be a bit stuggered by Its responsibilities. This attitude Is strangely at variance icith the old American repugnance to anything savoring of federal ownership. Perhaps the coddliug which accom panied government control in so many lines during the war is accountable for the change. At any rate, the fore shadowed syndicate is a sign of health. Certainly, and iu spite of the rather intimidating 'lessons of the war Teriod. It ought not to be said that the American business man is afraid of major opportunities. Of them all. Hog Island Is without question the most colossal. THOSE PUZZLING GIFT SHIPS THE transport Hancock, which has just arrived nt League Island, wns one of the convoys of n small but valu able squadron of German warships al lotted to the United States as tangible fruits of victory in the world war. This fact In itself is interesting, but it pales before the fascination of trying to work out our claims to those vessels, one of which wns tlie once powerful dread nought Ostfriesland. Just how did we secure title to them' In the absence of any treaty with Ger many it looks us though we were in debted to our allies for n rather sub stantial gift, since we did not capture any of the ships in battle. Perhaps they are to sene as enlivenment for a missing foreign policy contest. TENNESSEE STANDS FIRM TENNESSEE is to be uingrntuluted for not hning plnjed fast and loose with the suffrage amendment.

HARDING'S ENLIGHTENED VIEWS ON INDUSTRIALISM His Liberal Opinions on the Rights of Labor and Capital Truth and Humanlzatlon Will Solve All Difficulties IF SKNATOK HAKDINC doesn't watch his step Attorney Genernl Palmer, Commissioner Camlnettl nnd the whole Hock of self-nppolnted de stroying nngels who presume to gtinrd the institutions of our government will descend upon him in wrath and the Re publicans will be left helpless by the unceremonious deportation to foreign shores of their major candidate. For Mr. Harding lias just taken the trouble to a flatly that labor in America hn.s been misunderstood, tlint the Bolshevist mania was nbsent in recent big strikes, that the unions have been asking little more than a square deal nnd tlint the aloofness of some of the big managements was in part re sponsible for the stresses nnd disagree ments which have been Interfering with production in the 1'nited States.

It distresses the enator to rind the workers of America arraigned and ac cused ns enemies of the government while their record in the war period remains ns absolute proof of their gen eral loyalty. Such opinions sound not unpleasantly iu our own ears, because in the years when the nttorney general ' and like-minded men were doiug their utmost with destructive propaganda in divide the country against itself and cause men to hnte and distrust their associates in tlie day's work, these col- unins were consistently giving exprea- slon to precisely similar views. ... ........ , , , ti1(,sP dvs found n sort of comfort in tho fantastic belief that labor sought to OVPrtlirow thc KOvenimet. It was fashionable to suppose that good could be accomplished by widening and deep ening the ub.isses of misunderstanding that already divided tho two liahes of the industrial world. Since then the people of the I'tiitcd States have been able to perceive for thomsehes the stupid cruelty of efforts which were made to defeat the aspira tions of labor by fastening upon every striker a charge of felony or out-and-out treason The danger and thc futility of that effort were alwas apparent to uny one who stopped to realize thnt the case ot 'the individual whether that individual be Judge Gary or the humblest puddler in his mills is of .secondary iinpurtsinc alwnys.

Uliat labor will have Jo learn la that EVENING PUBLIC recent experiments In revolutionary economics prove conclusively tlint capi tal as such cannot be dispensed with, and that wlillo the familiar Industrial system may properly be reformed In many details, It cannot be basically changed without disastrous results for everybody concerned. From the point at which he ended the statement of bis beliefs, Mr. Hard ing will logically continue toward the translation of his convictions In a realistic working policy. That will be by no means an easy task. The Kansas experiment, and especially the outline or n working method provided by Mr. Hrfover and his associates In the Indus- trial conference, offer the machinery of industrial justice and peace ready made. The misunderstandings existing be tween the workers and the manngers and the owners in Industry will have to be overcome before Hint mnchinorv lean be made operative.

Harding, which fnppears In the current number of the Outlook, From that article the follow ing excerpts arc taken; HARDINO. with evident sin MA, cei cerity, opened our conversation by saying: "I have faith In men; I be lieve tlint the average man is square ! I believe In labor's fairness when treated squarely nnd given nn oppor tunity to become familiar with facts pertaining to Its vocation. If em ployers would be more frnnk with their employes they would f.oon rind a differ ent feeling existing in industry. Work Ingmeu Rhould be made thoroughly familiar with conditions, so that when nn ultra -radical comes alone, grossly misrepresenting conditions, the work- ingman can intelligently refute ins statements. Not being fnmllinr with tho facts In the case, thousands of hon est, well-meaning men become Imbued with the Idea thnt they are being viciously oppressed : misunderstandings lesitlt. causinir trouble that could be avoided by n simple exposition of the truth. The doctrines of extreme radi calism nre founded on gross misrepre sentations, nnd surely the best way to meet misstatements Is to contrast them with tho truth. Forelgn-borii workmen have been held up to public censure when the public itself in a great many cases Is to blame for not having ex tended the helping hand of friendship to the men we hnd invited to come to our shores. I firmly believe thnt If our government nnd those interested iu our government had taken ns much pains to familiarize the Incoming foreigner with American ideals and (lie liberties thnt the constitution bestows ns the radicals have taken to misrepresent nnd mis interpret our constitution there would be far less trouble in tins country today Quite true, the foreigner coming hen with the intention of stirring up violent opposition to our form of government should be severely dealt with: hut I inn convinced tlint a vast majority of immi grants conic here with tlie intention of becoming, industrious and patriotic American citizens Tlie lojnl support given by tlie sons of foreign born in tlie recent war should be sufficient evidence to convince the most skeptical tlint this conclusion is true." TrR. HARDING manifested deep con IJLV1 oorll OVPr the railway nnd coal sit nation, nnd spoke nt length on the pres ent critical condition of our great dis tributive system, pointedly remarking: "Tlie present chaotic state of railway transportation should convince tlie most radical labor leader thnt returns to railway management should be 'so gnuged that necessary capital may be enlisted for purposes of adequate re construction nnd the paying of wage in creases. It also should prove to the I most narrow-minded industrial captain I tlint labor must receive nn ndequnte , wage to function properly and guaran tee continuity of service.

"Without adequate transportation industry must ucccs.nrih lontract to a point or stagnation : iarmers wouui uv j uunoie proper! to nunc their produce, nnd ns a result widespread umunploy ment nnd ruin of the entire economic fabric of the country would be Inevita ble. The present crisis simply proves i that autocratic injustice to capitnl nnd management is as detrimental to the wage earner as autocratic injustice to labor is dettimentnl to capital and man agement. "We have entered a new era in thc relationship between management, the worker and the public No longer can labor be considered a mere cog in the wheel ; no longer can capital and mnn ngement remain deaf to the necessities of tlie workingman. They must realize tiiat the human element in Industry comes first; they must realize that the aspirations mid yearnings of millions of American wage earners must be consid ered with sinpnthetiu understanding, nnd differences worked out by applying tlie broadest principles of industrial justice." The senator i thoroughly convinced that aloofness of the employer which has manifest. d itself in many instances during the last few jenrs must be elimi nated if confidence between the em plo.ier and cmplo.w is to be restored, lie emphatically believes in n closer un derstanding between office brain and workshop brawn. "Proper telationship between labor, management and capital can be brought about only In all three elements coining to nn understanding mutually arrived nt through common agreement, all par ties realizing that the destruction of one is the rum of the others, and the sus picion or rebellion of one unavoidably Involves the others. There is not, and should not lie, i lass distinction among the inultifiu ions elements constituting American society Each tyts as u foun dation for the other; eacli element in itself is absolutely dependent fin all other elements, and all are necessary for the industrial, agricultural nnufinnncinl welfare of the nation. In the pnst capital ami management have not paid sufficient attention to fostering the good will of the workers who lire the founda tion stones of successful industrial en terprise. Ignorance of problems con fronting the employer naturally engen ders, suspicions und prejudices, leading to industrial strife that would be avoided if the workman wiik properly familiarized with the difficulties con fronting his emplnjer. Mutual under standing would beyond doubt dissipate a majorit of the industrial troubles facing us todav." Mr. Harding lias unbounded confi dence In the American people. He de plored the tendency, in certain quarters, continually to cast aspersions oi the loyalty of American labor. His jaws fairly snapped as he declured that "too much has been said about bolshevlsm in America. It is quite true that there are enemies of the government within our borders. However, I believe their number has been greatly magnified. The American workman is not a Bolshevist ; neither is the American employer un autocrat. Roth, us n rule, desire mu tual understanding by tho establishment of n point of contact that will prove to the worker that tlie employer is not cold hearted or narrow-minded, nnd tho same polut of contact will prove to the management thnt labor does not desire to impose arbitrary or ruinous restric tions on the employer."

"I do not expect any startling changes ns the result of suffrage. I consider thc granting of the vote to women mainly n matter of justice."

It is her ardent desire thnt these divergences be brought together, so thnt men and women will walk side by side and shoulder to shoulder nlong the way of a better city and state. "Tlie tiling for women to do. in my opinion," Mrs. Riddle explained, "is fiom now on to cease to accentuate the political differences between men and women. They should strive together for the common good.

Something more than a eur ago she was invited by Thomas Rao burn White to serve on the commit tee of one hundred, which wns being organized then to take pnrt in thc com ing municipal election. She uid then: "I can make no recommendations at this time nor state any policy for the women. We intend simply to co-opernto with the men. "Thc fact tlint n woman was named on this committee seems to us only a nntura! step In the equal suffrage plan.

"Innsmuch ns women nre to be voters, it is well that they should make a careful stud of political matters, so tlicy will really understand and be able to co-operate efficiently with tlie men." Mrs. Riddle holds to this same opin ion now that the last harrier to suffrage is down nnd the women have come into their own politically. "I hnve been in public welfare move ments for twenty-live years," said Mrs. Riddle iu talking of the new vistas opened irp by the granting of suffrage. , ' "i ,i n""st 1"nljlm,',n1"l' ways 1,!,,'h ,,h,r " V"1''!1 Jm br,nb,c to ,,C,P th" " to"a,(I 1,,,tt,,r cit- I Know of almost Innumerable ways 'There nre many bin movements now initiated which thc women can advance the more effectively because they can hnck their views with their ballots.
