The Industries themselves would suffer ns much ns any one else nnd only the prof iteers nnd the speculators would benefit. The nnthrnclte-carrylng reads nre net seriously hampered by the shepmen's strike. Hut the less expertly organized nnd admin istered reads in the bituminous fields nre far below the point of nermnl operating effi ciency, chiefly because of defective or defi cient rolling stock.

HEAT WITHOUT LIGHT? YES! SEE DAUGHERTY OR GOMPERS Each Seems te Have Been Overwhelmed by Emotion In the Affair of the Injunction 'piIC fat. a let of peeple nre saying x tremulously, is in the fire through the combined energies of Attorney General Paugherty nnd Samuel Gompers nnd their Joint entht.slasm for wordy rumpuses "We're Ke,,g te get jeu!" said the At torney General dramatically te the nggres five unionists, nnd Mr. Gompers rose grandly te his feet with thunderous "Come en !'" Which, murmur the alarmists, will bark down first? Is Mr. Dougherty going te call out the army nml fill the air of autumn with the music of bugles'' Will the presi dent of the Tcderntlen of Laber really at tempt te carry out his Implied threat te austerely nnd with a word deny te nbeut 100,000.000 people the right te life, liberty nnd the pursuit of hnpplness through de liberate paralysis of key Industries'' This Is n funnv world. The oddity of some of Its moods Is Inexplicable Hut it isn't nearly se funny ns it seems In the eyes of the people who nssume thnt Mr. Paugh erty or Mr. Gompers should be interpreted literally at this cni.x of affairs. The 100.000,000 people whose lives nnd interests nre being drnwn deeper and deeper Inte the row between organized capital and organized labor aren't foolish enough te suppose that any such edict ns Mr. Gom pers darkly hinted et ever would be Issued, and Mr. Gompers himself Isn't se foolish ns te suppose that they nre foolish enough te leave thcmse!c at his mercy. Mr Daughcity. en his pait, suffers acutely from a deficient literary stjle. It is mere charitable te take this -.lew of him than te presume that he said all that he meant or meant all that he said ln his ap plication for a Federal Injunction against the striking shepmen. He Is net nn In tellectual marvel at best. Few people will let their minds run oil the way with his in any event. Hut it is worth ebsening that emotion preb.ibh had as much te de with the application for nn injunction as it had te de with Mr Gemj ers' comments uti the matter. What we have hcen witnessing, there fore. Is the liberation in two conspliueus quartets of great quantities of heat wlthei't the minimi a eetiipanlinent of light Tiie light will come later when the formal hearing of the Injunction application Is he'd Tint will be next Monday. Mean while the country wi'l be wise If it tefuses te get excited or upset ever anything thnt Gompers or Paugherty mny de or snv. Geed-natured people will give them both nn opportunity te cool oft They ere like a great mnnv ether people concerned di rectly with th" rail nnd coal strikes. Thin have been getting into water tee deep for thein Their outcries cannot decently l.e Interpreted as declinations of policy. They ere expressions of anger and discomfiture nnd little else. Court injunctions opposed, or seemingly opposed, te the rights of men te talk te one another or communicate about their affairs or engage peacefully in the methods com mon te all human organizations formed for legitimate purposes have nn unp!e'innt nrpcer at best Such things aren't wlule wlule seme And no one knows this better t'au average Judges In a Federal Court More over, even In nn emergency like the one thnt has arisen en the railroads, It seems hardly fair te deny te one group the rights of or ganized action which the opposing group retains. We may be wrong, yet we venture te believe thnt the fault with Mr Paugherty Is a fault of technique rather than of In tention, The terms of his application were enough te mnke Gompers rage. As a geed many of his critics assert, he outlined n series of restrictions which, if they were sanctioned by the Courts, might nctunlly make n settlement of the strike Impossible by forbidding nny further discussion of terms. As for the Injunction itse'f. It mid net be viewed as se revolutionary or horrible or destructive a thing ns Mr. Gompers would mate of it. Whether it Is justifiable or net remains te be seen through detailed evidence nnd argument. Corporations nre enjoined every few minutes for one thing or nnether. In this instance the point of difference Is thnt while Injunctions ng'iinst corporations nre supposed merely te limit material rights the injunction sought by the Attorney Gen eral is Intended te restrict human rights supposed te he gunrenteed in all our philos ophy of government that is, the rights of all men te be guided in their personal life and relationships by their own will. There is a point, however, beyond which a man's own free will ma-, net be permitted te take him, nnd that i the point which nil current social and eionemlc discussion is Intended te define It Is net yet clenrly defined, but it will be, lergely because of the stresses through which we are new passing. Thus If it Is appurent thnt men nre organized and active in ways antagonis tic te public Interest; if, In ether words, It were demonstrated that the shepmen were deliberately aiming te strike through the body of the public te reach the ruil corpora tions and were careless of the eutforles of -c tsWriwjiiiwitflrrPi fa.jW&jA. ...jjiiitifaiiit K a. EVENING PUBLlfe LEDGEBPHILAD'ELPHIa: WcmBBWHBffim the non-cembatnnt third party, an lnjunc tlen would be justified legally and morally. Mr. Dougherty may be able te show that this is the case. Hut he will have te think nnd write and talk mere clearly and ex plicitly than he has been doing thus far. THE OTHER SIDE IT IS dramatically strange, te say the least, that fnte should project Inte the midst of n dry nnd relentlessly statistical discussion of wage scales In the coal region a slew, measured nnd progressive narrative of the realist! side of miners' lives such as thnt which Is coming ever the news wires from .Tncksen, Calif. At Jacksen men nre hurled nllve 2.100 feet below the surface of the earth and ether men nre trying te dyna mite n wny te them before they die. Any one who knows the anthracite region of Pennsylvania will perceive nt once thnt nn.eld story of the cool fields Is bring retold In the West. Cenl, like geld, Is often mined nt great depths. And there Is no wny in which the grief nnd terror of underground catastrophes can be weighed in the bnlnnccn of beards of wage arbitration. Yet, even though mine nccldents nre growing fewer through the operation of better laws, the hazards of the work ere greet and disasters, when they occur, wear aspects of peeullnr tragedy because they nre set ngntnsf n back, ground thnt Is utterly cheerless nnd among peeple whose renctlens te life and death are these of the Incurnbly faithful and the simple of heart. The first news of n mine disaster seems te travel silently upon the very air te the towns nnd villages miles nwny. The doers of little houses nre opened nnd women stnnd staring toward the hills before the first dusty iimbnlnnce makes its way through the streets and up the blnck, uneven reads te the colliery. It Is still the instinct of women used te old country wns te stintrh up their children In nny sudden danger or emergency. And women with shawls ever their heads, cimlng babies ngnlnst their shoulders, nre usuellj first In every precession that moves, with the exhausting speed of fright, te the mine where there hns been an explosion or what miners call "a foil" that Is, e huge isccnt of coal or rock that mny cut off the escape of n company of men or displace bodies of explosive or suffocating gns, and drive it upon defenseless squads laboring lti nrens normally safe. Over The Company en such occasions a transformation comes. All the corpernte consciousness of its representatives sllp-i away, leaving only resourceful, tlteless nnd compassionate men. Miracles of engineering have been accomplished overnight, fortunes have been spent nnd mine officials have lest their lives in efforts te save one Inarticulate workman trapped n thousand feet below the surface and threatened by advancing fire or rising gas. Hut It Is nt the mouth of the mine thnt vnu will encounter drama ln unforgettable forms. In the event of a great accident In the workings the entrnnce te the shafts Is loped off and guards nre stationed and nmbulences nre wnltlng, nnd the women nnd n great many of the men of the region nre en their knees before the first definite news of dead nnd iniurcd nnd survivals hns come up out of th" dark. The e.ves of the crowd are fixed upon the big sheaves, enormous grooved pul!cs ever which the cables run te the "cage," the elevator-like nrrangement nn which men nnd cenl are carried between the mine workings nnd the outer world. When, after long suspense, the wheels begin slowly te turn every one knows that the living or some of them nre being brought up. And when the landing Is made there will be a stir In the crowd nnd a strangle 1 crv or two, nnd a shocked or weakened miner with n face blackened te the color of Iren will use the last of his strength te sfoep nnd lift up the beclv of a woman who lltitur bet 'elf through the line of guards nnd fainted before she could get her arms about hl shoulders. It is only by a process of elimination in these first hours that the people en the surface can knew who is lest and who is saved, and who hns been merely hint. The mine officials Invariably lend the work of rescue They are net unlike the captains of ships. They nre the lat te appear nt the surface In theceuisenf time some bodies, wrapped In blackened and oily mine canvas, will be brought up and laid en the dusty earth. The doctors will be forcing sedatives upon the women who remained with their whimpering children. And the miners who escaped ellie, the men who, with Greek courage, were themselves out ln the desperate work of rescue, the "foreigners'' of whom jeu henr se much, "HI be upon their knees In the coal dust, members of nn lncempnrabh lone mine company, saying the prayers for the dead. LAFAYETTE-rVIARNE DAY POPUIjAU conservatism regnrdlng holi days will probably operate te dc fer for peme years celebration of the Manie anni versary by legislative enactment. There, is n lack nt present of that historical perspec tive necessary te give full significance te epochal events. Nevi rtheless, the meaning of the Marne Is rapidly undergoing the j recess of clarification .Teffre, Tech, French, Ven ICluek nre among the principals In the engagement whose records nnd recollections are forming n mnss of material, with which n definitive design may be made. The technique of the bnttle once rated n "miracle," is becoming intelllgib'e. It Is known new that Gallienl's dramatic confer, ence with'. Teffre hed much te de with the strategically vital movements of Mnneury's army, which surprised and fought off, although it failed te destroy, Ven Kluck en his southern flank during four crltlcnl days. The three ether major achievements of the French were the terrific, daring nnd com cem pletely successful drive of Fech through the attenuated German center, from Fere-ChamP'-neise te Chnlens-sur Mnrne, nnd the mngnlfirent resistance of Serrall near Verdun nnd of Cnstelnau at the Grand Courenno de Nancy. That Europe and America will eventually ngrce en the precise dote te be formally observed is unlikely, owing te a rather remorkable coincidence of history. The child who wns te become the Marquis de Lafay ette, champion of liberty both in our own country nnd IiIh, happened te bn born en September (I, 17fi7. The claims of I.nfayctte I.nfayctte Mame Day nre thus Irresistibly pertinent. The French perhaps will be inclined te select September 0, the day when Fech, nt bay, struck and overwhelmed the Prussian guards, ns the date of holiday caliber. There is no doubt that en September 0 the battle had net "ripened." Hut Lafayette, despite his birth and his signal accomplishments in his native Innd, Is inshrincd In the American natlenul pan theon. Mnrne dny ln this country cannot be dissociated from his memory, and the epic engagement nearly a century and a half later is viewed here as n logical work werk lng out of his ideals nnd faith. When the Legislatures raake tbe holiday, the style will inevitably be American, net European. Mevie star is suing his employers be cause, he alleges, they have net been giving him sufficient publicity. Ijeka like a bid for free advertising. AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT ' It It Only an Occasional Machine That May Be Adjusted for Either Quick Writing or 81 ew Writing Qy SARAH D. LOWRIE T ASKED a man who is nowadays a recef nlzeil authority, perhaps the recognized authority en Big Business from a Journal istic point of view, hew he cntne te take up that slde of writing. After n natural hesitation ever unloading his past for the Interviewers of ethers nre canny men he told me briefly the steps of his life that led te his present point of view, which Is well above the heads of the crowd. There wns net a writer ln his family they were all builders of one kind or another, chiefly of bridges nnd of things that needed engineering. Hut when he enme along the strain for that sort of energy was exhausted. Toels were useless in his hands nnd con cen con structlen did net interest him in an ebjective way. His fatherjdlcd when he was twelve, nnd a brother of his father educated him up te his senior year nt a small New England college ; after that If wns understood he wns te "fend" for himself. Ills teachers, finding him apt nleng the line of economics, advised his taking a pest-graduate ceurse and get ting a degree nnd becoming a tenchcr. A sort of enthusiasm very temporary for being n minister overtook him nnd made him hesitate, ami then passed him by. In its place came en even stronger enthusiasm te write and at the bame time learn the busi ness of reporting. . QO HE went te New Yerk armed with Ict ters of introduction nnd get n reporter's Jeb for Sh" a week en one of the big dailies. It cost him all of $15 a week te live. I de net knew qulte hew he mnnnged te pay fpr the ether accessories of life beyond feed and a room ; It wns essential te hire but net te the story he told me, se he passed thnt struggle ever with n wave of his hand. After nbeut six months the city editor came te the conclusion thnt he wns better at writing up things which needed accuracy of detail than the things which needed pic turesqueness of detail ; for instenee, he wrote n very geed story about the opening of a bridge nnd net se geed n one about n bur glnr In a bedroom. Se the city editor sent him down te Wnll Street te leek nbeut. It se happened thnt just nt that juncture the financial editor was 111 and the new hand hed it pretty much his own way for his brewsings among the capitalists nnd the bears and bulls of the stecls market. Figures and the rise and fall of prices, the ground ground fleer investors and the perch thieves of Wnll Street come under his swift, blrdltkc glance. Heferc he was thirty he was known te finnn clerssnnd te his editors ns u man who could find out the facts of things and jet them down nccurately. It was the beginning of muckraking, tee, of the higher order, and he wrote some star tling articles "en the side" for n weekly paper en express companies. Ills spotlight en the "doings" of some of these vvell vvell erganized fortune makers drew the atten tion of the Federal authorities te what was going en, with n result net relished by the express companies. Thl j piece of work and some ether con tributions that he made for the financial page of another dally gnve him the nerve te get married en his increasing Income. All went well with that venture except that the added pressure for money made for later hours nnd for mere uncertain meals and for a continued accession of work wherever it offered te pay well. The life began te tell en his nervous sybtcm. And he just plain broke down ! QF C J enh COl'nSE, the big nerve specialist rdered rest nnd n Southern trip. And when his pntlent demurred en the ground that he could net afford either, lie assured him that two or three months would de the trick, snv a voyage te Italy nnd severnl months there with his wife. Surely he had capital for that. Well, he had just nnd no mere! Se he took the trip, leaving two children, mere bnbies, behind with some kind soul te see them through und carry en the house keeping. Twe months of Italy were geed for the mind but net for the nerves, nnd he came back te the excitement and rack of his life of hurry a little worse off phvslcally and with all his capital gene. He went te another nerve specialist, n mere human one than the Inst, who talked It nil ever with him, told blm plainly thnt he "was going out te sea" ver.v fast, and that it was the life thnt was killing him and that no mere temporary rest would put him in a safe haven. SITTING in the office of his doctor talking these twenty minutes or se, he came te n big decision te which the physician gave lils blessing. He would beceme a "half timer" at journalism, 1. e., take his meals nt home, de his writing ut home and keep the ordinary hours of n normal ninn. He would no longer write en time, but take time te write. That is, he would write for weekly papers or monthly papers, but no longer de lepertlng en a daily basis; and, last of all, he would get well before he did anything. e. THERE Is a slight hiatus just her in my mind os te hew tbe meney for that re spite came. He looked gratefully ever at his wife and nodded te her when he came te that part, und she smiled beck. When I asked him if he worried while lie was rest ing in a sanatorium nnd getting well, he answered: "Ne, net for nn instant: Mv wife took that pert of it!" Se we left it nt that ! When he came home lie had te begin pretty much nil ever again with nnlv the slight connection with the editors of his express company articles en nnv mngnzine. And it wes very rough going for a jenr; but he kept te bis schedule, left New Yerk, went te live In a quiet town ns remote ns possible from the talk of money and made his forays en big business from that safe vantage place once nnd se often. Eventu ally he narrowed his output down te one or, at 'most, two big weekly publlcntlens, with some editorial writing of a special character thrown In. , , , He haB net yet written a great book, but he is a great authority en the financlnl operations of today nnd yesterday nnd to morrow in America, se nt least I am told by these who knew. All of which was why I was curious te knew straight from him hew he "get there." He was very modest nbeut having "get there" ; in fact, until he writes a book I suppose ne win net leel "there." Hut what struck ine about this brief outline of his author's progress was his and his wife's pluck te cut loose from a paying job befere he had foothold en the real work of his maturcr years. Of course, his 111 health pushed him ever the brink into the larger field and the bigger vantage place, but one knows lets of men who are efraid even when they nre pushed from behind te dare poverty for their families for a year in order te buy a home en Easy street for n life. And maybe they ere right! Mo.vbe the ones who de net dare never could succeed, and would have te face a world of relations and elderly empleers who say, "I told ou se ! BUT certainly ln the writing business few men can wrlte n thing that will live under the dolly pressure of writing things thet ere meant te die.
