LABOR WAR THREATENED

Unless reconciliation between coal
miners and operators can be effected
soon, strike is likely to break out
shortly, more general than that which
was settled four years ago through the
interpo5ltlon OF President Roosevelt.
That labor trouble affected principally
Pennsylvania, but the cost OF 1t IN loss
Of wages, damage to industrial inter-
ests, etc. was estimated at millions
Of dollars The strike now in view IL
Is said VIII involve the miners Of nine
teen different states, and the loss will
be in proportion. Half a million men
viii be called out, which means that two
million people, perhaps. will be subject
ed to the sufferings attending strikes.
1t Is to be hoped the calamity can be
averted
The primary question Is one OF wages.
The miners. at their conference at Min
neapolls, refused to accept the old scale,
demanding some increase. This, We
think, the general public VIII regard as
Just. because OF the increased cost OF
living which is so noticeable and which
does not appear to have reached the
summit yet. To that extent public
bympathy will be on the side of the
strikers. But It Is surmised that the
| question OF the recognition OF the union
| Is a still more important bone of con-
tention and on that question the opin-
ions are divided. However. there Is no
legal provision for compulsory arbitrn-
tlon, and It Is difficult to see how an
! adjustment Of differences could be made
txcept through some kind OF associa-
lions Of laborers and employers. Such
associations should. therefore, mutual
~ recognize each other, for the purpose
OF carrying on negotiations. until we be
come civilized enough to have arbitra'
ton courts and legal methods OF settling
labor troubles.
The public are deeply Interested i'm this
matter. The quarrel between miners
and operators means. II there is a lonl
