THE STRIKE.

The coal strike has fastened
its grip on the nation, and how
long it will last no one.can fore
see. While miners are getting
so-called big" wages, in pur-
chasing power their earnings are
insufficient. The balance be-
tween the dollar earned by a
poor man and the dollar earned
by a rich man is not on a para
lei, and the result is that while
the rich are squandering their
earnings in expenditures as new
err before, as witnessed by New
York papers diamonds, ban
quets, costly automobiles and
expensive opera seats-the poor
! miner. if he owns a home at all,
has not the funds over his living
expenses with which to keep it
in repair. A few years ago, un-
der the wages paid them, min
ers were buying lands and build
ing homes, but now the high
price of material is beyond their
reach and homes are going into
dilapidation, .. f..
To us it seems that some
one has deliberately blocked eff
forts at mediation, and if this is
the case, it is criminal. While
the demands of the miners may
seem exorbitant it has nowhere
been stated that they were final.
They seem to have been willing
to yield a few points. provided
some relief was given them.
They had not received raise for
two years. and during the war
had worked on unquestioningly
to win it. Now they ask as A
merican citizens the right for
enough from their labor to more
than subsist, a right which they
readily accord their employer.
Locally, in Sequachee Valley,
there is not pound of coal being
produced, and the loss caused by
this failure to adjust differences
will be one from which it will
take a long time to recover.
Law and Order League has
been organized by leading citi-
zens of Tennessee who deplore
mob spirit and mob rule. The
week Of Nov. 9-15 has been set
aside as Law and Order Week,
for public education by press and
pulpit and private discussion,
that mob rule is dangerous, not
exactly along American ideals,
and leads to continued breaking
of the law in an attemptto usurp
the duty of the law. viz, that of
punishment when found guilty.
If the mob is formed because the
law sometimes unjustly lets the
guilty party escape, under the
same reasoning the mob should
vent its wrath also on the attorn-
eys by whose argument the prs
oner escaped punishment. Eth
erwould be on the same parallel
logically.
