AN IMPERATIVE NECESSITY
..As The Commonwealth is hav-
a large run of advertising
and changes are made daily in
some of che ads it has become
necessary to ask that all changes
be sent in the day before the in
sertion, is needed. We ask this as
a favor, but we also reserve the
right to leave ads over until the
next day if they cannot be gotten
up in time for insertion.

TOO MUCH STANDING PAT.
Tin
ma v
policy of "standing pat"
e an aumnaoie one a.
times, but in the present indus
trial upheaval it is apparently
being carried to extremes.
The steel strike is a fair illus
tration. Judge Gary in the beginning
assumed a sphinxlike attitude,
refused to meet the labor people
for a conference, and has since
been standing pat.
The strike leaders are in a de
fiant mood and are also standing
pat.
The public is holding the bag
and is wondering if a time will
ever come when it can let loose.
The strikers may be right in
tying up the great steel industry
of the United States, or they may
not as you see it.
Indue Garv mav be justified in
his silent defiance, or he may
not that, also, according to your
views.
But one thing is certain. Be
tween the two elements a great
international industry is at a
standstill, and it will require a
long time to recover the ground
that is being lost.
Judge Gai-y should come dowji
from his lofty perch, and talk
with his workmen. If he is too
proud to meet them face to face
lie might delegate the task to one
of his officials who is more demo
cratic in his tastes and in hi:
vi( ws.
The steel trust is powerful. w
concede. But an aroused public
opinion is even more powerful It
Do not imagine that because other

reputation and immense sale. A med
