STRIKES.

The present outlook Of the labor
and capital question is not at all
reassuring. Strikes actual or projected
abound. In Chicago alone 30, OOO
men are involved, and many more are
likely to be before a settlement is
effected. 1t is difficult to realize the
loss and waste 10 strikes. Without
any reference to the merits of the
controversy between employer and
employed, which are best understood
by the parties interested, it may be
said that few disasters of flood or fire
are as destructive as strikes. The
anthracite coal strike last year
entailed a loss of wealth to the coun-
try far greater than the Jamestown and
Galveston floods and the recent over
flow Of the Missouri river.
Take the Chicago strike for ex-
ample. The strikers consist largely
Of brick layers, stone masons, and
teamsters. The wages Of the first
two classes are from five dollars to
eight dollars per day while teamsters
with their teams get from six to ten.
Their labor must be worth more than
that, else there would be no profit
for the contractor. 1t must be
worth still more to the capitalist who
is having the building erected else he
would not exchange cash for it.
The idleness Of these men affects
the prosperity of the rock quarry, the
brick yard, and the lumber camp.
But If we count only their wages as
lost and estimate the wage rate at
the low average of four dollars per
day the total loss is 1920, 900 for
every idle day. In three days the
loss Is sufficient to bridge the river at
Lexington, and in three weeks it
amounts to as much as the total
revenues Of the state Of Missouri.
AS far as the aggregate wealth of the
country is concerned the case would
be just the same if these men worked
every day and then went home and
set fire to 1920, 900 worth Of houses
every night.
And this is the record Of a single
city in a strike affecting directly only
certain correlated classes of working
men. II we take into view the whole
field Of the United States, it must
be readily seen what a serious thing
a spirit Of general discomfort among
wage earnerS Of the striking kind is.
The general prevalence OF strikes
might make the difference between
profit and loss IN the balance sheet of
the nation at the end Of the year.
might make the difference between
prosperity and hard times even to
those who are not directly concerned.

To the "infamous Nesbit law is
the election of Joseph Folk due. The
Ziegenheim republicans raised and
spent $4,000 in an attempt to
defeat the passage of the Nesbit bill.
The republicans now say that Folk is
"a nobler Washington and that he
must be the democratic candidate for
governor. IL is amazing how the
republicans yearn after Mr.. Folk
Editor BrOckmeyer deyotes half his

The entire state of Missouri is in-

State University. This beautiful city

Nothing is better than a big pasture
LOT hogs. The hog is naturally 8

nothing is more injurious to disease

"A Curious SITUATION In WascOhsAh'
The federal authorities Of Wisconsin
are called upon to deal with one OF the
most curious situations that have ever
arisen under the internal revenue laws.
The Badger state, as most everybody
knows, has large German population
and is conspicuous for the manufacture
and consumption of the beverage that
made Milwaukee famous" Every bar
rel OF beer. OF course, is taxed, and 1t
Is the manner OF the taxing, not the
payment Of the tax, that is causing the
present trouble. The law provides that
the revenue stamp shall be pasted
across the bung of every cask, so that
It shall be Cancelled by the driving in
of the spigot
Now. this may do very we'll for ordi-
nary communities, but when beer is
concerned the taste OF the German
Americans of Wisconsin is as delicate
as that of the Kentucky colonel who
detected flavor of leather and of iron
In a hogshead Of whisky into which a
single carpet tack had fallen. Gus
toners complained that their beer tast.
ed too strongly of revenue stamp. The
bits of paper carried on the end of the
spigot favored the entire contents of
the cask. So the saloon keepers tore
or the stamps and destroyed them In
other ways. and on this account the
revenue officers have arrested twenty
OF them. They are appealing now for
construction OF the law which does
not compel them TO serve an infusion
OF green stamps as a beverage.
