WHAT CONSUMERS CAN DO.

Not much can be done in the long
run, to remedy the cost of living, says
an expert. Prices have a definite re-
lation to peoples earnings, and these
things are regulated rather automati-
.cally by general economic conditions
the '.law of supply and demand and
other so-called laws connected with it.
Prices OF things in general will go up
for a while, and then up again, and
so on over and over, rather indepen-
dently Of anything that can be done
by individuals or governments.
There are some things, however,
which he admits will have a tempor-
ary effect on prices. AS immediate
remedies for the high cost of living ne
offers these recommendations:
Patronize the dealer who charges
only reasonable profits.
Stop buying things out of season.
Admit the right Of manufacturers
and farmers to make reasonable re-
turns.
Let no workman demand more for
similar service than a fellow-work-
man.
Increase production.
The factors here indicated may be
transient and trivial compared with
the big, Incorporating influences oE
which price levels are made and
changed. But they will help, at this
time or at any time.

THE FOURTEENTH RESERVATION

Regarding most of the treaty reSer-
vations now being disposed Of in the
Senate there is 10 need to get excited
Ardent friends Of the treaty oppose
them on the ground that they tend to
weaken the document and lessen the
authority of, the League Of Nations.
Others seem to feel that, though pos
sibly necessary, they may do no harm.
At least they have the practical merit
Of allaEing criticism and placating the
enemies of the treaty in the Senate
and thus making ratification possible
There is one reservation, however,
that cannot be treated with -indiffer-
ence That is the fourteenth offered
by Senator Reed. as follows:
THE United States reserves to Itself
exclusively the right to decide what
question affects its honor or its vital
interests, and declares that such ques-
tions are not under this treaty to be
submitted in any way either to arbi-
tration or to the consideration Of the
council or OF the assembly Of the
League Of Nations or any agency
thereof or to the decision or :ec)al-
mendatlon of any other power
AS William H. Taft says, in state
ment ai.alyzing t.'e whole set of reser-
vations:
This emasculates the treaty and
makes the relation of the Unlte1
States tc the League one Of mere
visitor to the council Of nations. with
no responsibility and :. corresponding
absence of influence or power for
good"
If that fourteenth reservation is to
be tackled on 10 :he treety there might
just about as we'll be no treaty. or at
least no League Of EaGions. 1t strikes
at the heart Of all serious effort to
prevent war by international co-opera-
ton and conciliation. 1t is at variance
with the whole pacifist trend Of Ameri-
can diplomacy for the last twenty
years It sets at naught the lessons
of the present war. 1t invites war and
confusion for l!le immediate future
when there is 6 possibility of peace
order and happiness.
Whatever is done with the other i 9
reservations. it is 10 be hoped that Mr.
Taft will prove 4 true profit when he
says that this reservation will be de-
feated. as it ought to be-

ADVANTAGES OF uN1oN1zAT1oN

One cf the unfortunate results OF
recent strikes il this country is that
they encourage The criticism and dis
crediting Of the basic principles OF
union labor. This is unfortunate not
only for workmer, but for the public.
Anyone who will condemn all labor
unions because or the conduct of some
Of them, and thus deny any general
benefits of authorization, is illogical
and short-sighted He ignores the fact
that trade-unoinlsm with centralized
control is a natr*al development, and
perhaps an inevitable step in the pro-
cess of industrial evolution, and that
even in its present imperfect state it
has accomplished much good.
The New York World, which has
been condemnins5 labor more severely
than capital for .he present industrial!
situation, recognizes this, pointing out

1.-The right and desirability Of labor
organization ana collective bargaining
being conceded, i: is evident that the
greater their scope the more service
able industrialiy ard economically
they must be. Nearly all productive
enterprises today deal with several
labor unions. Although it has failed
grievously at Tines, federation as a
rule has harmonized and disciplined

tons that once we're very uncertain

with labor as with men generally,
leadership is the most important con-
sideration. The more centralized that
control becomes, the. easier it will be
to do business with it when it is well
disposed and to correct it by law
when it is at fault
This is a good statement of the Sit
uation. There is nothing to be gained
at this time, or possibly at any time,
by fighting the principle of labor or
ganiZation. 1t is as justifiable, natural
and inevitable for labor to organize
as for capital to organize. When both
are completely organized it will be far
simpler for them to deal With each
other, and far easier for the govern
ment to deal with, both and correct
the errors Of both.

MINERS GRIEVANCES AND MIS-
TAKES.

II is unfortunate, from the stand
point of the local coal miners and OF
common humanity, that the strike has
placed the miners at present in so un-
favorable a light. The obvious wrong
,ess of their action in this case has
largely obscured their present griev-
ances, and the hardship which is their
usual lot and for which they ought to
be properly compensated.
Nobody who is familiar with an or
dinary mining settlement and who
knows the typical life OF miners, can
fail to see that they have more than
tented. They live in dreary homes,
amid dreary surroundings, usually in
remote places. with few Of the com
forts and little of the entertainment
and varied experience Of the city
person or the comfortable farmer.
Their homes are generally owned by
the company they work for. They
buy their provisions perforce at COM
pany stores They work underground,

cramped that often they cann"t
straighlen their hacks or their cramp-
ed limbs. They are subject to the
diseases that come from bad air, dark

of late corroborating this statement.

quantities along the eastern seaboard,
