PERMANENT, no BE SURE

n H. JAMES. secretary of the Will
Vl liam Penn Highway. address
ing a convention at Sunbury
yesterday. said that the organization
he represents is opposed to the use of
a road loan in this State for the con-
struction of anything but permanent
roads. That is right. 1t would be fol-
ly to borrow money on thirty year
bonds to build a road the life of
which would be FIVE years. That is not
the kind of highways we want in
Pennsylvania. When the road loan is
adopted 1t will be with the under
standing that not a penny shall be
spent except in permanent construc-
ton. Other States have made this er-
ror, but Pennsylvania will not.

Every strike means empty places

pay roll and the emptying of the
dinner pail. This is the first result.
the worker first and to his EN-
ployer next, and il is harder on the
former than on the latter because
the latter has resources in reserve.
Every strike brings suffering to
the unemployed, distress to inno-
cent onlookers. the withdrawal Of
children from school and savings
from the bank
Every strike breaks a bond of
sympathy between the employer
and his employes-the bond that Is
the strongest safeguard of capital
and labor.
Every strike gives the dema-
gogue and selfish labor leader his
chance to lessen the opportunities
for labor and increase the opportu-
mites for himself.
Every strike must finally be set
tied by concessions. Why not arbi-
trate differences at the start ano
Every strike destroys the peace
and happiness of the home. imposes
idleness on industry. discounts
thrift and gives opportunity for the
vicious to resort to violence and
crime.
Even the successful strike often re
suits in more loss than gain. Away
some very worthy workmen suffer 70
years as a result. There may come
time when between the laborer an,
the employer there is no means of set
tling differences save the strike, bu
both sides should look well to tn
future before resorting to such dras
tic course.
