THE IMPENDING COAL STRIKE

THE IMPENDING COAL STRIKE
The four hundred thousand soft
coal miners of the country have de-
manded from the mine owners a six
hour day, five day week, and six
ty per cent increase in wages and
failing to secure the same in confer
ences with mine owners the order has
give forth for a general strike on
November the first. There is only
a two weeks supply of coal on hand
for the railroads of the country and if
the strike become effective it means
that the commerce and industry of
the whole nation will be paralyzed,
all factories, schools and churches
will close, millions will be thrown out
of employment and industrial chaos
will reign in America. Bringing a
strike of this magnitude right upon
the threshold of the winter means suf-
fering and starvation to millions and
especially in the larger cities, who
had a touch of this sort of thing few
years ago in the fuel shortage. 1t
will result in millions of innocent
people being thrown out Of employ
ment and being denied the right Of
earning sustenance to support them
selves and families. In fact, the re-
suits contemplated are so disastrous
to the whole nation that it is difficult
to believe that the strike will be call
ed. The government is working oil
the problem hoping to avert such a
nationwide calamity, that it must be
stopped if possible. The results
which will attend it are too disastrous
to be considered.

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION

Grave and sensational rumors are
just now over the country about the
Presidents condition. Senator Moses
of New Hampshire wrote a friend
that the President was suffering
from a cerebral lesion" which to the
uniformed carries the idea of men,
tai breakdown from which there is
scarcely ever a complete recovery
The Presidents physicians have re-
piled to this statement, and their as
sertions are reassuring to the Presi-
dents friends and the country gener-
ally.
The fact that the President is a
very sick man is rather borne out by
the developments at Washington. The
specialists continue to assert that the
distinguished patient must have COM
plete rest and further the cabinet
members have arranged to take over
the Executives duties, as was done
in Garfield's illness. This confirms
the supscion that the President is a
very sick man and that it will be
weeks and probably months before
he is well again.

LEADERSHIP NEEDED

With President Wilson's health
broken under the severe strain of
responsibility which he has been
carrying, now comes another great
leader down and out under the stress
of the times, Samuel Gompers. He
was compelled to retire from the in
dustrial conference at Washington a
few days ago by nervous break
down, which all citizens will regret.
President Wilson and Samuel
GompcIs were looked to more than
any other two men in America for
leadership out of the industrial chaos
into which we are fast drifting, and
that both should become seriously i'll
now is a matter of grave concern to the
whole nation. Leadership is needed
now, safe and sane leadership, men
with clear vision and steady purpose
for the good of the whole nation-and
may the conditions bring the forth.
