The Colorado Strike and Mediation.

A Denver dispatch states that
meeting of the business men of that
city was held yesterday, to formulate
an appeal to the president to act as
mediator between the parties to the
formidable strike of the miners in the
coal regions Of the state of Colorado.
They believe that, if the president will
so act, the miners will consent to re-
turn to work and submit their de-
mands to settlement thru arbitration.
The outlook for coal famine is,
unfortunately, very promising. Many
Industrial establishments have only
limited supplies of, coal ahead, nota-
bly, the beet sugar factories now be-
ginning the grinding season, while
some manufacturing concerns have
had to close down for lack Of fuel.
Coal is very abundant in Colorado, so
abundant that there has been small
difficulty getting supplies heretofore,
and such a great strike as the present
one was not looked for by consumers.
The coal miners seem to command
the situation. The appeal to the
president to perform the functions of
mediator is doubtless based upon the
success of such mediation with refer
ence to the serious strike in the an
thracite region of Pennsylvania last
year. The president will probably
say to the Denver petitioners that, If
the citizens of Colorado have ex-
hausted all possible measures to bring
the operators and the miners together
and both refuse positively to yield to
! solicitations of state. government or
citizens, and, If it is shown that the
reports of great suffering in conse-
quence of the cutting off of supplies
of fuel have not been exaggerated, the
! request may be taken into considera-
| ton. Tt does not appear that all
means of persuasion are exhausted.
| The strike began only recently and
| the public has not yet asserted it
self very strongly. 1t was seen in
/ the case Of the anthracite miners
strike that the s100,0OO,0 900 approx
mate loss fell chiefly upon the public,
4 thru famine prices for coal; the
/ SlOppdSe Ol INDUSTRIES, the throwing
i Of employees out of work because OF
4 lack OF fuel and the paralysis of bust
ness In the: mining region, while the
4 state had entailed upon it a heavy
4 burden in the maintenance of the ma
4 tional guard in active service in the
mining region. The direct and indi-
4 rect losses to the public were UNI
4 doubtedly much larger than esti-
mated. The operators, in the Penn
sylvania case, lost nothing, for they
had the advantage of fifty-cents-a-
ton advance on coal above the norma
rate. which enabled them to recover
all the losses they had sustained.

Too Many Green Men.

The annual report of Acting Adju-
tant General Hall Of the army, shows
that there is still demoralizing fux
in the army. The total strength Of
the army is given at 59,1Si, yet in
the past year it lost 1929 officers
and men. All but a thousand Of
these left the service because of expir-.
court-martial, desertion and retire
ment. 1t is hardly possible to de-
velop regimental pride and maintain
a high degree of efficiency with so
many old men leaving the service and
being replaced with new and usually,
green men.
The army is still suffering from the
results of the sudden expansion in and
following the Spanish war. When
the war began the regiments were
mere skeleton regiments. Suisse
quently they We're filled up with new
men, while many Of the veterans were
lost in battle or thru disease. Then
came the doubling of the strength of
the regular army which added a lot
Of entirely new regiments. Thous-
ands of men were taken into the serv-
| ice at approximately the same time,
| with the result that their terms ex-
| pire coincidently. The army, thus,
has very little opportunity to assinli-
| late one influx of fresh material be-
! fore another arrives. This evil will
gradually correct itself in time, but at
present it's effect on the army is very
noticeable. The army of $4,000 is not
what the army of $4,000 was.

AS LonefeIow Might Have Done 1t.
Fair the daughter known as Mary,
Fair and full of fun and laughter,
Owned a lamb, a little he-goat,
Owned him all herself and solely;
White the lambs wool as the Gotchi,-
The great Gotchi, driving snowstorm.
Hither Mary went and thither,
But went with her to all places,
Sure as brook to running river.
Her pet lambkin following with her.
How Andrew Lang Sings It..
A wonderful lass was Marie, petite;
And she looked full fair and passing
sweet;
And, OH she owned-but cannot you
guess?
What pet can a maiden so love and ca
ress?
AS a tiny lamb with a plaintive bleat
And mud upon his dainty feet,
And a gentle veally odor Of meat,
And a fleece to finger and kiss and
press,
White as snow?
Wherever she wandered, in lane or street
AS she sauntered on, there at her feet
She would find that lanbkin-bless
The dear!-treading on her dainty dress
Her dainty dress, fresh and neat,
White as snow.
