STRIKES GALORE
| BUSINESS DISTURBED
Strike Sentiment. Spreads Into
Many Lines Of Business
Numerous WaIkouts

The strike sentiment seems to
be spreading to many lines of
business and there is a large num-
Der of walkouts. The business of
the country is being paralyzed at
time of the year when it should
be the most active.
Nearly 100000 miners are on a
strike and practically all Of the
nations vast bituminous coal fields
have been idle for the past week.
If it we're not for the large number
of nonunion fields which are still
being operated the suffering would.
be immense. 1t is bad enough as
it is. Something like 10000
nonunion miners were at work the
first otthe week.
The demand is for higher wages
and shorter hours. but quite clearly
the trouble is brought about by
radicals among the miners. Their
demands are unreasonable and they
are unwilling to submit their cause
To arbitration.
The spirit has struck the rail
road employees and the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen are
theathing to- order walkout.
The printers Oh the Tennessean
and American and Banner, the
Nashville daily papers, are out on
a strike and those papers have
been coming out in reduced size.
In many cities the street car
employees have struck and in a
great number of large manfactur-
ing establishments and business
concerns there have been walk.
outs. The labor element seems to
have gone wild in its demands and
it looks very much like the crisis,
so long talked about, between
labor and capital, has come.
The strikers, to large extent,
have ignored iDjunctions from the
courts of the country and are act
ing as if they considered the edicts
of the labor organizations and their
leaders more to be respected than
the laws of the country or the
demands of the government.
The government officials are not
idle and it may yet be shown that
the laws of the country must be
obeyed. The labor unions are not
only hurting the country, but they
are doing the honest laborers
much injury. The sentiment of
the country is fast crXstallzing
against their present action.

DON'T BE ALARMED

There is no occasion for alarm
over the sugar shortage. AS soon
as the price is high enough the
gentlemen who have so effectively
COrnered the supply will place it
on the market.
Profteering by the hysteria that
occasionally grasps the people and
sends them scurrying to the mark
cts, these observant gentlemen
have decided that by withholding
their supply a while they can get
any price they demand.
There was no shortage of sugar
a year ago when this country was
sending millions of pounds to
France and England during the
time that production was at It's
lowest ebb in these countries.
There is much less occasion for a
shortage now.
If the government will take an
inventory or the supply on hand in
the great warehouses two very
salutary results will be accom-
plished: The public mind will be
quieted and the price will be re-
stored to normal.
There is no sugar shortage. We
are merely in the midst of clever
game played by few men who
are using the retailer and the con-
sumner for their pawns. Under
government regulations, with con-
ditions a good deal worse than they
are now, the price of sugar was
only about half the present price.

Feud Over Draft and Use Of
Yellow Paint Results in
Shooting ARRAY at
MaquOketa.

Davenport, Ia, Jan. 18.-Bitter
feeling, growing out of the free use
of yellow paint on the barns and
fences of Ward Turner, IS years old,
led to the probable fatal shooting
of Dennis Flynn, "a, by Turner, in
the main street of Maquoketa this
afternoon.
The feud between the Turner and
Flynn families started last sumner,
when Turner was married. The
Flynn faction alleged that he mar
ried to evade the draft.
On one occasion during the sum-
mer, raiders visited the Turner farm
at night and painted his barn and
sheds a bright yellow. The Flynn
faction was accused of the deed,
At night another expedition alleged
to have been headed by theNFlynns
went TO the Turner farm and daubed
the fences once more with yellow
paint. This afternoon Flynn and
Turner met on the main business
street OF the town,
'You ought to be in Russia with
the bolsheviki," Flynn is alleged to
have said to Turner.
Turner is alleged to have drawn a
pistol and fred two shots at Flynn.
