Empioyers and Employees.

There are many unsettled grievances
between employers and employees, B-
pecially in the case Of incorporated IN
dustrial enterprises.
These grievances are giving much
concern to both employers and en-
ployes.
In some cases the employers are
making big profits while the employees
are receiving too little pay, and IN
such cases employees are more or less
resentful toward employers, while en-
ployers are naturally apprehensive OF
the probable attitude Of employees.
Things are not always what they
seem and for the troubles that are de-
yelopinH these days in the shape OF
strikes, lockouts. ETC., the employers
are as often to blame as are the en-
ployes.
It is very we'll understood that peo-
ple who look for trouble generally fnd
the same. II the trouble does not
come from the source expected they
make it.
There has never been time In the
history of the world when the bnst
brains of the world had keener ap-
prec;ation Of the real merits of the dill
ferences between employers and en-
ployes than they have right now and
there has never been time when
those same best brains were more
earnestly looking for proper settle
ment Of those differences.
We agree most heartily with Presi-
dent Wilson in his assertion that
strikes are not calculated, to help
things at this time-that strikes are
onIv calculated to make matters worse
for both sides and for the world gen.
orally.
Rut we do not want to be understood
in this connection as suggesting that
the employe is any more potent source
of disturbance than is the employer.
The attitude Of both employer ana
employe should be conciliation and CO.
operation. The employer must endeaV-
q or understand the rights of the en-
ploye. and the employe must UNDER
stand the rights of employer. Each
must be careful not to encroach upon
the rights of the other. Both must
keep their heads and remember the
proprieties. :,
And the outside public will do well
TO avoid unnecessary partisanship In
this situation and refrain from too free
and sweeping denunciation OF one sloe
or the other.
Neither side is wholly wrong. There
is reason on both sides and outsiders
will do we'll to recognize the ract.

Gradual deflation of the currency
reneal of wartime legislation that
maintains expensive government agen-
cies. and control Of exports were pro-
posed last Friday by Representative
Simon d. Fees Of Ohio as remedies
or the high cost Of living. The high
cost level" he said, 'is due primarily
to two fundamental items, both 1nduc-
cd by the war. First, the item or LABOR
makes up at least 80 per cent. of the
average article of consumption. If the
cost of labor is increased the price OF
the article must also increase. When
Europe became involved In war the
European countries began to compete
against one another in the American
market, which inevitably increased the
scale Of prices. When the United
States entered the war the government
began to bid for labor. The prices
were no consideration. The canton
ments and aviation fields secured the
country for carpenters. The shipyards
invaded the labor market, paid great
advances and an eight hour day. with
time and a half for overtime; paid
transportation charges, and supplied
houses. The government at one stroke
increased the labor employed at a
given piece of work, advanced the
wage scale, and shortened the day.
All industry had to meet. this scale,
and at once passed 1t over to the pub
lie. To care for the immense govern
ment operations, the treasury depart
ment enormously increased the issue of
Federal Reserve notes, until today
there is a per capita circulation OF at
least s57, nearly double what it was
five years ago. This fact, considered
in connection with the riot of govern
ment expenditure Of borrowed capital,
further inflated the credit of the
country, until the dollar will buy not
over half what it purchased before
the war. The remedy here is gradu-
ally to debate the currency until 1t
reaches normal. Another item of the
high level of cost is the wastefulness
of the government in all it's opera
tons There are said to be $4,000
trucks held by the government, many
out In the weather deterorating, with
no effort to turn them on the market
for fear of breaking the market. This
material should at once be put on the
market. Today, nine months after the
end Of the war, we still maintain the
war machine, so far as many war
agencies are concerned. Congress
ought to repeal the war acts as soon
rs possible to force a peace basis. The
government should at once take steps
to control the exports, as well as
further foreign credit"

The New York Sun does not seem to
know as much about mules as it knows
about some other things. 1t has an in
teresting article about "Vsrdun." a
mare mule colt that has her name be-
cause of the fact that she was born
on the battlefield while the Americans
were defending the Verdun sector
against the Germans. According to
the Sun, verdun's mother was the
Swing mule of one Of the ammuni-
ton caissons." Of course 1t is natural
enough for the Sun to think that since
like produces like "Nerdun's" mother
was also a mule; but then the Sun
ought to know that mules are not nat
ural.

The Enquirer's big perfecting press
was shipped about four weeks ago; put
it has not yet arrived. This machine,
however, Is liable to turn up almost
any day, and II there is no mishap 1t
will be in operation within ten days or
two weeks after its arrival. And with
the help Of that press, the publishers
of The Enquirer confidently expect to
make a much better and more uselul
paper than they have ever been able
to make before.
In charge of First Lieut.. Nash,
party of soldiers from Camp Jackson,
Columbia on recruiting service were In
Yorkville, yesterday. The recruiting
party for the present Is making head
quarters in Rock Hill, working towns
in the vicinity from that point. Lieut.
Nash and the three nom commissioned
officers who were with him spent most
of Yesterday in distributing literature
having to do with the advantages and
opportunities of the army. The officer
delivered a short address In which ne
told of the army as organized on
peace time basis. He was heard with
respectful interest by the several
score people who surrounded him; but
there were no recruits, only couple
of prospects.
-Yorkville and the country sur
rounding Is again facing an ice short
age that promises to last for the bal
ance Of the summer. No Ice was
shipped into town Saturday, Sunday or
Yesterday and the indications are that
il any Is to be received this week 1t
will only be a small quantity. The
matter is one that Is causing Mr.. Harry
E. Neil of the Yorkville Cotton OIL
Company, distributors Of ice In York
VILE a great deal Of concern. Most OF
the ice that has been shipped here IN
the past comes from Charlotte and
Columbia. There are ice plants In
Chester, Rock Hill, Gastonia and other
surrounding towns; but the plants are
of such small capacity that they can
hardly supply their respective local
demands. The Charlotte and Columbia
plants have up until this year been
able to supply Yorkville, Glover and
other towns that have no Ice factories
without a great deal Of trouble. The
demand for ice this year, however, has
far exceeded anything known before
and hence the shortage. Ice manu-
facturers over the state are authority
for the statement that the number OF
users of ice has greatly Increased TINS
year. Hundreds of negro families
who heretofore did not use any ice
have started the practice and the de-
mand generally far exceeds the sup,
ply. The only solution Of the local.
problem Is the establishment or an Ice
plant here and 1t would not be sur.
prising If steps along that line are not
taken in the near future.

The general industrial situation
throughout the country, which was fill
ed with such gloomy forebodings last
week because of the steadily develop
ing strike among the railroad shop
men. is now clearing up. The point
made by the president th&t the action
OF the striking shopmen was in disooe-
dience to the authority Of their lead
ers, is generally recognized as pelng
we'll taken, because it is clear that II
the local unions will not recognize the
authority of their supreme councils
there is no need to reach agreements
with the representatives OF the su-
nreme councils. Many thousands or the
striking shopmen returned to work on
Saturday and it was expected tina.
practically all of the remainder would
return to work yesterday. 1t is not al
together certain that the dissatisheo
workers are going to get down to WORK
IN good faith until there has been some
adjustment Of their grievances; put IN
the meantime there is hope that there
will be no serious interruption OF the
country's transportation system.

The late Jay Gould was probably
the most noted financial buccaneer OF
his day and generation-if not OF any
other generation. 1t was he who un-
hesitatingly laid down the proposition
that the shares in any corporation
that are valuable are one over half"
His practice was to destroy confidence
In the stock Of a corporation, railroad
or otherwise, buy up a controlling in
terest for a song and then run the
property in such way as to get for
himself everything there was in 1t. II
was a most internal policy, and the
man who will pursue such g. policy Is
really no better than thief. He Is a
thief, and a sneak thief at that. But
the worst of it is that Jay Gould was
not the last of his kind.
