The facts are calculated to give the Herman commanders food for reflection not of an altogether comforting character." ? Only intervention by the Federal government can prevent a general strike of operators employed )>y tin Western I'nion and I'ostal Telegraph companies, t'. J. Kokenkamp, president of the Telegraphers' I'nion said in Washington Wednesday night, before leaving for Chicago, t'pon Ins arrival there he planned to mail out tin- call for a walkout as a result of the refusal of the Western I'nion company to submit to the jurisdiction of the national war labor board, which sought to chiii|M?se the difference between the companies and the men. After two days spent in discussing the situation with administration officials, members of congress and labor leaders, .Mr. Konenkemp said hi- doubted that, even should the government decide to interfile. action could l>c taken in time to prevent the men from going out. Secretary Wilson, who discussed the situation witlt the union president, is understood to have laid the matter before its meeting Tuesday. .Mr. Konenkatnp said he had been assured b\ President Hampers of the American Federation of I?ibor, of his interest and symiMithy and of such assistance as the federation could lend an nlllliated union. Mr. (lumpers made no state ? The Federal chlhl labor law prohibiting the interstate shipment of products of child labor has boon ilcclaml unconstitutional ami invalhl by tin- suprcmc court of the United States. The deciding opinion was written bv Justice Pay. Justices Holmes. McKcnna. Krandcis anil Clark ilissenteil. Judge Pay held in effect that while congress had the right to regulate interstate commerce It was not warranted in exercising that right in a way to interfere with the control by the state of what was plainly the state's own affair. "The act does not meddle with anything belonging to the state." said Justice Holmes, in a dessenting opinion. "They I may regulate their internal affairs and their domestic commerce as they like. J Hut when they seek to send their pro-1 ducts across the state line they are no longer within their rights. If there were no constitution and no congress, their power to cross the line would dej?end upon their neighbors. I'nder the constitution such commerce belongs not to the states but to congress to regulate. It may carry out its views of public policy whatever indirect effect they may imve upon the activities of the states. The public jmllcy of the United States is shaped with a view to the benefit of the nation as a whole. National welfare as understood by congress may require a different attitude within its sphere from that of some self-seeking state. It seems to me entirely constitutional for congress to enforce its understanding by all the means at its command." ? The United States destroyer Ward was successfully lajinehed last week at xi?.... nnw x-nrd. California. seventeen nnd a half days after her keel was laiti The nearest approach to this record was the launching of a 333-foot cargo-carrying vessel by the New York Shipbuilding company of Camden, N. J., in twenty-seven days. The record was accomplished as the result of a new system of co-ordinated effort, four hundred men being engaged night and day in bringing the vessel to a state of St per cent completion. It is hoped that the vessel will he completed within a month of the date when the keel was laid. Twenty years ago the first sixteen destroyers were authorized for the navy. They were less than half the size of the warships now in use; yet their average time from the laying of the keel to launching was two years. During the past year the average time has been five months. In making the record on the Ward much of the structural work was prepared in advance. Bulkheads, keel sections, deckhouses, bridge structure and a section of the stem were riveted up ready for assembling on nearby docks. They were then quickly swung Into position and riveted home as the vessel reached its successive stages of completion.

However much foundation then may have been for the bitter charge against the administration of Cole I. If louse, it is a fact that the Govcrno Manning's administration has b.ci guilts of all the shortcomings will which Itloaso litis been charged.
