MID-EUROPEAN
Union LATEST
ORGANIZATION

There is new committee in Wash
ington which has program that is
one of the deepest and most respon-
sible that has been undertaken by
any group of men since the beginning
of the war. II is called the Demo
cratic European, and it has
just opened the doors of its new head
quarters in the McLachlen building,
at Tenth and G streets. Its president
is DR.. Thomas G. Masaryk, who is
also president OF the CZecho-Slovak
National Council Its executive dt-
rector is Herbert Adolphus Miller,
formerly professor of sociology in
Oberlin college and for many years
close student of the races of middle
Europe.
Briefly. the purpose Of the Demo
cratic Mid-European Union is to eff,
feet unity of effort among the op'
pressed nations of central Europe,
to smooth out and adjust their diff,
ferences, and to provide a common
council chamber where their repre-
scntatives may meet together and
discuss their problems from time to
time

they can certainly understand each

about 1t. They have their alarms of
danger; they have their distress calls;
they have their softer tones of affec-

GOVERNMENT EMPLoYEs AND STRIKES

One of the pleasures of being an employe of the government under public ownership plans is that strikes are forbidden.
 Director General McAdoo warns the telegraphers that under government operation of telegraphs and telephones strikes must go.
 He says You are now working for the government and no strike has ever occurred against the government Except in ship yards, etc., etc.,
 It was impossible to announce decision of the War Wage Board on the demands Of the telegraphers and so he asked them to wait.
 The theory that government employees cannot strike has not been found true in other countries, as for instance England and France
 President Wilson and Director McAdoo deserve commendation for reprimanding threatening strikers and the rule may be tablished.
 It is fact that postal employees and city, county and state federal employees have never gone on strike.

The Copper Era hopes to see

The Copper Era hopes to see the next session of the Arizona Legislature take some action in harmony with the recommendation of Secretary Lane, of the Department of the Interior for the reclamation of arid and waste land during the reconstruction period follow ing the war. The least the Legislature could do would be to cooperate with the Department of the Interior in the survey of feasible pro- jects for the reclamation of Arizona.

THE LUMBER INDUSTRY

The future of the lumber industry looks eX- ceedingly bright western products especially, will be in great deand, thus adding largely to the prosperity of the Pacific Northwest. For over four years there has been a complete cessation of building operations in alF parts of the world, except the United States, and for about two years there have been no new con- struction or repairs in this country.
 Naturally, the demand for lumber is go where formerly little lumber was used in build ing, will call for enormous quantities of 1t for hasty rehabilitation of their Wardevastated regions. England and Italy also will need lumber or building and repairs. With condl- tions as they are in Russia it will be necessary for the United States to meet this demand and the timber resources of this country will be stretched to the limit.
 Shipbuilding will continue for a long time, and ample bottoms for overseas trans portation of our forest products will be avail able Thus, in the opinion of experienced men, the numbering industry of our country will make great strides during the next few years. The labor problem may vex for few months but that situation will be adequately handled.
 The economic and political doctors will agree that there is a great readJustment to take place following establishment of peace and they have various theories. The average American will take good of himself if he has chance to work for good wages and take care of no one.

Governor. He put over a business system that brought all departments under a State Board of Finance, and he kept his thumb on that board.
 The joint committee of the legis- lature on appropriations held it's sessions with the State Finance Board and the governor had the veto.
 Net result: In three years the debt had disappeared, except some bonds not yet due, but there is a sinking fund on hand to meet them.

JUSTICE, NOT CHARITY.


 The Government of the United States fully intends to protect through the Bureau for Vocational Education, the future of the dis abled soldier sailor, or marine, and this fact should be brought home to the families of all wounded men.
 These families, well the soldiers themselves, should understand:
 That the Government is resolved to do it's best to restore him to health, strength and selfsupporing activity.
 That until his discharge from hospital care the medical and surgical treatment essary to restore him to health and strength is -lnder the jurisdiction of the military naval authorities.
 That if his disability does prevent him from returning to employment without training and he elects to follow course of vocational train ing provided by the Federal Board, the course will be furnished free of cost and he will also be paid as long the training lasts monthly compensation equal to the sum to which he IS entitled under the war insurance act or sum equal to the pay of his last month of active ser vice, whichever is the greater, but in no case will single man or a man living apart from ms dependents receive less than $65 per month exclusive of the sum paid dependents, and a man living with his. dependents receive less than $75 per month, inclusive of sum paid to dependents.
 That in addition to the above the family or dependents of such disabled man will re- ceive from the Government during his period of training monthly allotment and allowance payment in the same amount as that paid prior to his discharge from the Army or the Navy.
 That upon completion of his course of training he will continue to receive the con- rensation prescribed by the war-risk insur- ance act so long as his disability continues.

THE FUTURE OF OUR sHIPYARDs

Will shipbuilding as an industry vanish from America with the closing of the war? The reconstruction commission, it is now assured by the action of the republicans and democrats of congress will have an most puz- zling problem in this. It all depends the cost of ship construction. The British are today building ships cheaply per ton than we are. Back on peace basis they will undoubtedly decrease their costs. If America fails to do so, her industry will survice large scale only so long the after-the-war emergency shipping is being met. Then Ameri- can and foreign companies will inevitably seek the cheaper yards of the world to place their contracts Thomas F. Logan, in Leslies Weekly.

Editor Mines, of the Prescott Journal Miner, has been named by Gov. Campbell as his private secretary. It is to be hoped that this appointment will result in establishing cordial relations between the governor and the press of the state. Unfortunately for Governor Hunt he assumed that one of his duties in the office of governor to blackjack every newspaper that had opinions of its own, which did not concur with those of the executive. Had the newspapers of the state joined in the howl of the retiring governor against the poration and in boosting the radical labor agi- tators as having the right to dominate our in- dustrial interests they would never have been branded as the "reptile" and "kept" press by the l. w. w. leaders and Gov. Hunt.

LITTLE BUSINESS

Western states need the whole some effect of injecting business methods into their public administra ton. Here is alittle object lesson showing what can be accomplished by merely applying private methods in public affairs.

THE JOB HE LEFT
 BEHIND HIM

Many eXpedients have been sug- gested as to what is the best thing we can do to make places for return ing soldiers and sailors.
 Reclaiming land by clearing stumps, reclamation, irrigation, drainage, etc., are sought to be made popular under takings.
 Allowing for the restless and un- settled frame of mind produced in many men by war, most of them will want to return to their jobs.
 Unemployment is a ruthless enemy and what any man wants first of all who works for a living, is a job, upon his return to civil life.
 The first thing for our returning millions of men is good times with business and industry in vigorous, 'uplooking condition.
 The worst thing for our boys who are coming home is to find industry slack, business slow and prosperity a minus article.
 Industries should be encouraged, not hampered by foolish legislation and experiments, regulations and high taxes.
