LOYAL TO kEokuk.

There Is always q temptation to
make all the n oney one can out OF ex-
listing conditions. There are always
individuals and institutions who will
take advantage Of conditions and
make all the money they can. This
lis the rule, SO it is all the more crafty
Ing to note the exception and COM
mend 1t. The case in point is the at
titude OF the Keokuk Pure Ice Co.,
toward the citizens of Keokuk. The
organization of this company Is of
such recent origin and the conditions
leading up to the cause for its crea-
ton of such general knowledge that
reference to it is hardly necessary;
suffice to state that when ice was
boosted to an unreasonable price the
Pure Ice Co. came to the relief of
the local consumers and has remain
ed steadfastly loyal ever since. The
public knows that the price OF Ice
took slump when the new Ice plant
opened for operation. The public
knows that local capital invested
largely in the enterprise to assure the
success of the movement, but the pub
lie does not know that this concern
has repeatedly refused to sell its
product to outside customers in spite
Of the fact that It is repeatedly asked
to do so, and at price almost double
what 1t is getting for the home trade.
1t is refreshing to call attention to
this attitude on the part of the Keo-
kuk Pure Ice Co., and all other con-
siderations laid aside ought to draw
from the people of this city not only
words OF appreciation but continu-
alton OF patronage that should at no
time be broken but steadily increased.

R,cHr OF THE OPEN SHOP.

The end of the reign Of lawlessness
at Steubenville, Ohio, was seen last
week when Federal Judge John e.
Safer granted to the Phillips Sheet
and Tin Plate company an Injunction
to restrain rioting by strikers. The
strike has been on since June 30, and
has been marked by violence by
strikers and sympathizers. They are
ordered to refrain from interfering
with workers at the mills.
The right OF picketing is preserved,
and there is no inhibition against per
suasion OF the men at work by
strikers.
A man has a right to operate an
open shop. He cannot force persons
to work for him. The workmen have
the right to organize unions, but they
cannot force employers to hire only
union men, Judge Safer declared in
his opinion.
Employers may conduct lockout
or may threaten to do SO. Union men
may strike, or may threaten to do SO
But neither side can resort to VIC.
/ lence
Men have the right to refuse to
work and to quit work, but they have
no right to restrain other men. The
labor leaders should see that the men
under them and their sympathizers
should not make threats or use VIC
lence to gain their end They may
use persuasion, but not coercion. The
company has the right to use per.
suasion in getting the men to work
They may also lock out men. But
neither the strikers nor the company
has right to use any means contrary
to law.
