PRICE NOT RAISED

"It Is not true, as Mr.. Gompers states,
that for the past several years the
miners have averaged only 100 to $50
working DAYS a year.
st is a fact, however-and Mr.. Comp
ars could easily have ascertained it-that
virtually every bituminous mine in the
,ountry has on its payroll substantial
number of men who deliberately lay off
from one to three DAYS a week when
'hev have an opportunity 10 work.
"Mr Gompers states that the miners
are demanding shorter working hours
so that their work may be made reg
uiar instead of intermittent. How is
It possible to effect such regulations +?
How can fm'ees be worked when no
cars are available? How can mines be
worked on Gays when mine sidings end

''Mr Gompers well knows that the
public buys its coal only as 1t needs
1t. and it always will.
Does Mr. Gompers think that a
change from an eight-hour day to a

OFFERS SETTLEMENT PLAN
Nv ASsaciafed Prsas

Indianapolis, November 5.--William
Green, secretary-treasuFer of the
United Mine Workers of America, today
suggested as a means for settling the
strike OF coal miners, that the govern
'ment arrange for conference of miners
and operators and command them to
reach an agreement"
The real way to settle the strike is
for tbs government to bring all it's moral
and legal influence toward bringing
the operators and miners together and
command them to reach an agreement"
Mr.. Green's statement said This is
| the practical way to get the mines
started"
, Mr. Green's, plan. however. would not
include calling off the strike pending
settlement of the wage agreement but
was in line with statements made by
President John l. lewis of the miners.
in which willingness of the miners to
open negotiations without reservation"
was expressed.

the miners official publication, The

Wilson'S conference, leaving Mr., Lewis
with no alternative but to call strike.

For the Devil of il

As production diminishes.
scarcity grows. And then the law
of supply and demand gets to
work. When supply diminishes.
demand grows. So prices rise.
Whenever a body of workmen
ii like the prices Of commodities.
;hey strike for more pay. and
production diminishe;. So prices
rise still higher. The grievance
which the strike was to cure is
only intensified by the strike.
the medicine makes the patient
worse. 1t seems hard, but the
patient is partly to blame.
A carpenters local in a middle
western city struck for ST. 90 an
hour. They were offered 80 l 2
cents an hour, but refused it.
The strike dragged on and finally
d large number of the carpenters
went to the chief town of an ad-
joining state, where the union
scale was 80 cents an hour, and
worked for a dollar a day less
than they were offered at home,
altho 1T cost them more to live in
their new surroundings. They
had struck "fnr the devil of it" !"
and were losing money all the
way.
As long as strikes are organ
lied for the devil of it," and
not to cure a grievance, produc-
tion will languish, commodities
will be scarce, and prices will rise
Let us fervently hope that the
farmers will not take notion to
strike for the devil of it."

We fear there is only too much
accuracy in this reasoning. The

use of an article is prelude to
widespread over-indulgence in it,
the correct attitude of every dis
