Itiiilroml Labor Issues
31I1E country niny well look with pome
^"concern upon tho possible develop
ments during Ihe month of May in the rela
tions between employers and employes. Not
jPOly does the nation-wide coal strike enter
~upon its second month, but railroad labor
?3s~.)>ecoining more and more restive, and
y ot the more important of the brother
hood organizations will hold conventions to
ooniider tho circumstances of their position.
Si ready tho Order of Railroad Conduc
tors has convened in Cleveland, as lias the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship
..Clerks, Freight Handlers and Station Km
23jJ?>yes. The latter body is sitting in Dallas.
??-On May 8. tho Brotherhood of Firemen
and Enginetnen will meet in Houston and
on tho same day the Brotherhood of Railway
^Trainmen will meet in Toronto.
? ??These gatherings follow close upon the
decent ruling of Federal Judge Page, who
"Belli that the Railroad Labor Hoard had no
authority to censure the Pennsylvania Rail
road for disregarding the orders of tho
board, a ruling which practically all or
ganized railway employes insist removes all
potency from the transportation act. It ap
pears that the brotherhoods are correct in
their view that the board has been stripped
of its power and reduced to a mere advisory
body.
This decision, of course, is not final. It
will be carried on appeal to the United
States Supreme Court and may be reversed,
but if !t should stand, railway employes
cannot be severely blamed if they, too. Ig
nore a board which has no power to enforce
its rulings against employes. In any event,
it is unfortunate thai ilie authority of tho
board should be challenged at so critical a
time as this, and tlVi'l challenge sustained by
a Federal court'.'" **
' - Nor has the situation been improved by
the decision of the board to allow outside
^interests to intervene in disputes between
the railroads and their employes. These
Jlou'lFide interests assume to represent tie
public, it is true, and the public should
have a voice in the settlement of labor con
troversies in the transportation industry.
Hut the board Itself is supposed to repre
sent the public, since the controlling group
within the board's membership was appoint
? * ed for that purpose.
Interest in railroad labor conventions is
""further increased by the fact that during
the next two weeks simultaneous strike
votes will be taken by about 800,000 me
chanical shop craft employes on all tin? rail
roads of the United States. The first vote
deals with the poli"" of certain of the rail
roads in leasing their shops to private con
cerns. a practice, according to the employes,
.'.which permits the carriers to evade payment
_ of the wa>;o schedule fixed by the labor
boftrd. The final vote is upon rejection of
the board's decision limiting the overtime
pay for Sunday and holiday work.
Early in Juue the annual convention of
,tbe American Federation of Labor will meet
.in Cincinnati, and by ti.a' time th-> policies
^ adopted by the railroad employes will b.
2 well understood Al.-o there may be some is
?* sue in the coal strike Public attention
?. for the next few w.-.-ks will le> entered
^ upon the action of labor Interests and upon
i- a possible paralysis of the transportation
Ji system of the country

* (This estimate tapplies. (?f course, to all

<*> niost severely injured of all fruits, are ??*
fi-pec ted to show a fomewhat lower average
J of yield. Hut the recovery i: apple eotidi
-j' lions has exceeded exper'at ions
n fn connection with the estimated apple

5 is a wide difference hetwer-n n full < rop
S?100 per cent and what may lie d. srribed
E as a normal production. The ten-year nver
gj age of crop percent a geH for Virginia is Bigni
* fru.ni The government report places it at
63. Last year, with 4 per cent, there was,
ki. of 'courso, a real failure, hut a? compared
t 63 per cent, a yiqld running close to
40 per cent Is not to be regarded as wholly
devoid of consolation. And, Incidentally,
tho Tuylor survey discloses a probable peach
yield of approximately 50 per cent, "which
compares with thu tcn-yoar aVerago of &3
per cent."
la it Irremediable?
IN connection with the protest raised
against tho erection of a State otllce build
ing on Capitol Square, the Governor points
out that the building commission has no
choice of courses under tho law. Tho act
authorizing the construction of the ofike
building designated tho southeast corner
I of tho Capitol grounds as tho site, with tho
I qualification that any other suitable sito
I might be used if obtained without cost to
the State. Says the Governor: "Tho law is
self-explanatory. The commission's hands
are tied."
That is true. A! tho moment tho com
mission's hands aro tied. Hut is It not
possible that the commission's hands might
he unbound in titno to avert a stop that
would certainly be regretted by tho peo
ple of th?' State? Consider the circum
stances. The popular impression is that the
General Assembly will be convened In spe
rial session before many weeks have passed,
and there is a strong popular feeling that,
on second thought, the legislators would
perceive the unfitness of the site tirst desig
nated and make provision for another. It
will be recalled that public attention was
not centered upon the selection when the
matter was before the General Assembly.
Certainly, those who are raising their voices
in protest now would have done so then if
they had fully comprehended tho Import
of the building enactment. Doubtless many
legislators voted for this bill without hav
ing the unwisdom of tho site selection
pressed upon their minds at all. Tho need
of n building was given great emphasis, tho
choice of a site little, if any.
The legislative act, as interpreted, leaves
the Governor and the commission without
authority to acquire another site, and it
should go without saving that they are not
properly subject to criticism for failing to
exceed the authority granted them under tho
law. Hut the question arises: If a special
session is in prospect, and if they feel that
the people of Virginia, on more clearly real
izing significance of this step, strongly ob
ject to it. would it not ho warrantable and
proper to let the matter rest for the mo
ment? It Ik true, the act. directs the com
missioners to "proceed with all reasonable
dispatch." But. viewing the matter broad
ly. does that preclude reasonable delay
out of deference to a sentiment profoundly
and widely felt by the people of the Coin
j monwoalth?
All All-Virginia Kvent
REPORTS coming to pageant headquar
ters show that in every section of tlio
State enthusiasm for the great Virginia
historical spectacle is running high. The
action by tho Norfolk City Council in ap
propriating $2,600 to cover the cost of "Nor
folk Night" Is a pointer indicating how
whole-heartedly the cities of tho Stato nro
entering into tho project. Norfolk will have
two tloats symbolizing historic incidents in
tho life of that community; other Virginia
cities, smaller than Norfolk, but no less
rich in historical background, are going for
ward with their individual pageant plans
on an elaborate scale.
One of the most important announcements
made by tho pageant management relates to
the special inducements offered In* tho rail
roads. Virginians will be enabled to come
to Richmond for the mammoth show at a j
mst of one fare for the round trip; this i
provision for low travel expense, in conjunc
tion with the evident wave of interest '
throughout the Stato. means that in Vir
ginians alone Richmond will have one of tho
largest crowds of iis hir.tory during tho
week of May 22 to 28.
Hut tho desire of thousands outside of
Virginia to witness the pageant has not boon
overlooked. Residents of neighboring States
will enjoy the advantage of a one and one
half faro, with special trains in many in
stances to improve travel facilities and make
schedules more convenient. Tho early maxi
mum estimate of pageant attendance is
looking more conservative every day.
Deterrents Overcome
\MONCJ those who are convinced that con
structive economic forces aro "getting
tho upper hand" of deterrents such as
strikes, uncertainty over tariff legislation
and lack of contidonce is Chairman Hardy,
of the Reserve Hank of Richmond. The
survey for tho Fifth District, which Mr.
Hardy gave to the press Thursday, reflected j
as clearly and convincingly as any recent
statement from any qtuirter the feeling
among informed men that the business revi
val will not fall short of a memorable wave
of prosperity.
! Chairman Hardy's review is especially
i gratifying hero because it covers our own
immediate Hold. Tho Fifth District is found
t.o be participating fully and confidently in
the business advance throughout the coun
; try.
Another significant survey is that pre
j pared t r The Times-Dispatch by R. (!. Dun
I Co.. and published in yesterdays issue.
That also is of special local application, and
i summed up in terms no loss encouraging
; than 'hose used by Mr. llardy. No import
' ant field of business is found to bo without
| definite signs of the general improvement,
and the survey notes the "prevailing impres
sion that conditions are steadily approach
j ing a normal state of affairs."
The turn that set in several months ago.
moving almost imperceptibly for a time,
j i- now plainly evidenced on every hand. It

} an? e ;ti u succeeding monthly review.
The State Prison Change
IN the voluntary resignation of Colonel
' I .lames R. Wood, as superintendent of tho
Virginia penitentiary, the Stato sees the re
tirement of a faithful and diligent public
servant. It is gratifying to learn that he
will not altogether sever his connection with
the prison department, but will act as spo
| < :al agent for the convict road force and
| as adviser to the board. During fourteen
! years of active service as pn*oti superln
j tendent, Colonel Wood has 'Impressed the
I people of Virginia by his loyalty higi ?har
( actor and fine sense of duty. He relinquishes
I his post, hut not the warm esteem of the
! public he has served so long.
I The appointment in his stead of Major
j Hire M Youell again brings to the fore a
I young Virginian already rich in distinction
find known throughout the State for many
admirable qualities. Virginia has held proud
g?ue upou the course of Rice Youell a carcer
elncc the days when he brought new glory
to V. M. I., on tho football field. More re
cently the splendor of that period of hla
life lias boon eclipsed by his brilliant serv
1 l*o as a member of the nation's fighting
forces In France. Ills war record Is one in
which every Virginian has felt deep pride.
.Major Youell will bring to itis important
duties a mind that Is young, disciplined,
vigorous and quickly responsive to the urgo
of progress. His appointment has been
made on a basis of fitness, and tho popular
mind of Virginia is unable to associate him
with any othor result than shining success.
Hif> penitentiary board, holding aloof from
politics, has fixed its choico upon a man
who is not a politician, who was not an ap- (
pllcant for tho post to which he has boon
| elected, to whom, in fact, tlio honor and
l opportunity have come without prior no
| tlco. Tln? people of Virginia will heartily
| approve both the selection aud the spirit
| that has actuated the board in its search j
fur the best available man.
The British Ambassador
RK'H.MON'DKRS who last night heard Sir
Auckland Goddes must have recognized
in him one of the most potent of all guar
antees against the Anglo-American cleavage
that is sometimes predicted?and no tUniht
sought - by disturbers of a certain type.
Wearing him. one is led to feel regret that
It is impracticable for England and tho
I'nited States to exchange ambassadors of
the Goddes typo on a very much larger
scale.
Both countries are fortunate in having Sir
Auckland in his present high capacity. No
other Hritish ambassador lias ever estab
lished a more intimate or confidential con
tact with tho people of the United States.
To tho general public most ambassadors,
whether British or of somo other national
ity, are more names; Sir Auckland is a man,
a personality, and gifted with the qualities
of mind and heart that make an ambassador
a definite force for understanding and con
cord. He is contributing daily to tho re-on
forcetnont. of tho bonds that unito tho two
grrvit Knglish-speaklng powers, and any man j
who does that is performing a high service j
for humanity.

From the queries I receive it is apparent'
that the average girl without good education
harbors a fancy that her skin requires* some
thing In the way of cold cream or, as she
sometimes calls it. a "vanishing cream." An
old hide may need daily oiling, but certainly
tho young skin has plenty of natural oil and
sometimes oil to spare. Therefore, it is a mis

skin needs soap and water. The old hide

I Antenna Resistance
If an antenna Is charged to a very

fr.'.fnetitly appears to spurt from It
like water from a leaky h If the
antenna were to he observed on a
very dark night a bluish light might
be se. n immediately Mil rounding the
antenna wires and .streaming; short

a wire This Is called "brush dis

loss of eneiKy from an antenna sys
tem. h is an effective resistance,
which has the aan.?? effect upon the
antenna current as an actual resis
tance In the circuit i eslsianc..- in the
circuit. It can be reduced by re
ducing the voltage on the antenna.
This kind of leakage is not present
In a receiving antenna, but must be
guarded against at a sending Na
tion.
If there Is any leakage of the elec
tric current to earth taking place
over the surface or through the ma
terial of an Insulating material used
in the antenna system, there will be
energy loss The leakage wlli have
the ram'e effect as actual resistance
In the antenna circuit, although it
will be. of course, an effective,
rather than an actual ohmlc resis
tance. In this case the !<...? can
take place in a receiving antenna, es
pecially in wet weather, if th<- iti
Milation Is not sutficS/ntIy good. The
loss Is much more an t > occur, how
ever. in n transmitting antenna be
cause In that case, much higher vol
tages are present.
The antenna and grounding sys
tern are considered to be a large con
denser, the antenna forming one
plate nnd the ground the other. The

dielectric Is imperf< ct, which it
would bo if there were conducting
materials between antenna and
ground, some of the antenna ener

the dielectric. This would o
loss of energy !u the antenna and
have the effect of an actual resis
tance In the antenna circuit Hire
:tg tin the lof-s would be gr. iter In

antenna.
If there are conductors close hy the
Antenna, but not necessarily In the
electric field brtwt-ii antenna and
ground. there will be electric cur
tents Induced in those conductors.
They may he steel towers, guy wires
or any oilier metallli objects Any

This applies. In a measure to receiv

From all of the >nsidera

The losses can bt reduced, however,
