TRUTH BUT NOT ALL OF IT.

: Most everybody can get hold of
some truth. Perhaps nobody can
: get. hold of. all the truth. But to go
about collecting truth and putting
them together may help a Bit.
J. Philip Bird, Of the National
Association of Manufacturers, has
issued a statement in which he says,
"Only what is produced by the COM
bined efforts Of capital aud labor
can be divided between them" And
he adds that this is "the fundamental
lesson that must be driven home to
all the people, If the country and
particularly to organized labor
Mr.. Bird skidded along tho edge
of slice of truth. The New York
Evening World tries to clear up what
Mr.. Bird means by the comment that
"You can't find more in the cup
board to take out il you put less in. -
And it asks, "Can't labor see that it
cheats itself whenever it takes with
out doing its share to replenish p"
It is true that only that which Is
produced can be divided. Labor is
! not contending that it can reap with
out driving nails and laying h41cks.
1t knows there is no sausage until
pigs are killed. j..
But labor-along with all the rest
Of the people that make up what Is
called the General Public-has en-
countered good many owners OF
capital who want all the sausage,
leaving to labor nothing much but
| the squeal and perhaps a bone. You
can't divide what isn't produced
but you can get some equity into the
business Of dividing, if that is what
you want to call the business Of pay
ing wages and fixing conditions and
setting hours. That's where the rub
comes. And when you grant to labor
a voice in the business OF determin-
4 ing wages and conditions and hours,
you add lot to the truth Mr.. Bird
started to tell about. A little truth
can befuddle lot OF people some
times.

The labor forces in Minneapolis
organized and led the fight against
the extension of the street railway
franchise in that city which was de-
feated by the voters at the election
held last Tuesday. It was held to
be not so much a proposed ordinance
to extend the life of the traction
franchise, but rather an ordinance
to 1egalize the watered stock in the
company and to. guarantee a seven
per cent dividend thereon. The peo-
pie of Minneapolis refuse to endorse
this method of wiping out the sins

END OF COAL STRIKE.

AS The Labor World goes to press
announcement is made that the coal
strike is ended, and that the officers
of the United Mine Workers have
agreed to the proposal of President
Wilson. Acting President Lewis ac-
cepted the proposal because it con-
tains definite concrete and prac-
tical method for adjustment Of the
miners claim for increase wages -
He also stated that the United Mine
Workers have full confidence in the
President of the United States and a
profound regard for his will and
judgment.
We are all happy that the strike
is ended, and we are hoping that it
has taught all the people as we'll as
the operators and miners a whole
some lesson. Why there should be
q coal famine in this country at any
time is beyond understanding. There
would not have been had the miners
been permitted to work during the
summer days when the mines were
kept in idleness. Some day we per-
haps will know why the operators do
not keep reserve piles of mined coal
on hand. Would such have any effect
on the market? It would be inter-
esting to know.
The miners stood out for six weeks
which is considerably longer. than
some people expected. They ought
to have returned to work on Judge
Anderson's order, but they didn't.
Perhaps they would have, gone back
without any understanding for the
future had they not had previous ex.
perience with an indefinite assur-
ance given at the: time when the An.
thracite Coal Strike commission was
appointed in 1908. The decision OF
this board is still fresh in the minds
of the miners and they want no such
repetition:
President Wilson'S proposal was
definite and specific. The. miners
are to get the IA per cent increase
proposed by DR.. Garfield. A tribunal
is to be created to report if possible
within SO days, which will inquire
into wages, costs of mining and oper-
ators' profits. If it is found that the
II per cent award is too low the com.
! mission it is expected will order q
further increase. If the operators
are entitled to charge more for coal
at the mine they will be permitted to
increase the price. On this practical
and definite proposition, the first
, made since the miners presented
their demands to the operators, the
officials of the union agreed to call
the strike off.
