A Dust-Dry Nation.
baltimore American.)

Obsolete with the activities of the
Anti-Saloon League, the term bone
dry will have to give place to the
term dust-dry. The .Jrmer was de-
scriptive of localities and the dy-
ness Of the bone was ineve proof
against the infiltration of some
measure of liquil refreshments. But
the condition of dust-dry will be that
of the country under the legislation
TO force the Wartime prohibitions
how strange the terri wa-time now
sounds! A dustd-ry nation is promis-
ed by the Washington authorities.
For the law will even wipe out the
last hope of those who have re-
miniscent appetites. For the new law
will lead to instituting campaign
against home-brewed beverages and
even be made unlawful.
Could anything be dustier than the
situation that will result from d
nationwide condition of absolute in
hibition of anything having more thar
n mere trace of alcohol and chat will
prohibit even the publishing or com
munication in any way of recipes
for the maing of beverages designed
to let down the longtime trained
appetite so that it may reach the
vanishing point without undue jar!
This kind of condition will meet
with much resentment But what
avail, with Uncle Sam rollig up his

THE STRIKERS PSYCHOLOGY.

The strikers object, as set forth
by them, is to starve out and freeze
out the people Of the United States
unless their demands are met. OF the
coal miners involved there are it is
stated, 100000. Of the steel and other
strikers there is said to be 3 million.
There are no doubt larger number.
What we cannot see thru is, if the
freezing and starving process is sue
cessful how do these strikers hope,
or do they expect, that their own
families, will escape? Tell us that
What sort of psychology, or logic
possesses the minds of these strik-
ers, any way? If the rest of us suffer
will they not suffer with us? We may
be thick headed, and cannot see
straight. But this is the way it looks
to us.
If the miners and strikers can
stand it the rest of us can: Let 'em
strike!
Shut down, stop wages, demand
that the men go to work or get out
of the company's houses.
The miners are paid from ga to
$500 day, average. Some make
$1,000 n day. The demand for five
day week and six hour day, is
foolish and ridiculous, specially so
when on top of that an increase of
GU per cent in wages is demanded. If
the men will strike and quit work,
which is their right, let them get
out of the way and let other men try
it, The time seems to be here when
owners of property shall no longer
have any say so in its management.
Let the mines and all employees
have big dose or two of their own
medicine, and probably they will
come to their senses and see the illog
ical, unnatural, unbusiness like aspect
and result of all this strike, rule or
ruin business.

of fuel.
From whatever angle the subject
may be viewed, it is apparent that
such a strike in such circumstances
would be the most far-reaching Pic :.
ever presented in this country to
limit the facilities of production and
distribution of necessity of life and
thus Indirectly to restrict the pro-
duction and distribution of all the
necessaries of life. A strike under
these circumstances is not only unjus-
tifiable, it is unlawful.
The action proposed has apparently
been taken without any vote upon the
specific proposition by the individual
members of the United Mine Work
ers of Rmerica throughout the United
States, an almost unprecedented pro-
ceeding. l cannot believe that any
right of any American worker needs
for its protection the taking of this
extraordinary step, and am con-
WINGED that when the time and mann
er are considered, it constitutes n
fundamental attack, which is wrong
both morally and legally upon the
rights of society and upon the well
fare of our country. feel convinced
that individual members of the Unit
ed Mine Workers would not vote, upon
full consideration, in favor of such a
strike under these conditions.
When movement reaches the
point where it appears to involve
PRACTICAL the enire productive capac,
ity of he country with respect to one
of he mos vital necessities of daily
domesic and industrial life, and when
het movement is asserted in the cir
clumsances l have stated and at a
time and in manner calculated to
involve the maximum of danger to
the ublic welfare in this critical hour
of our country's life, the public in
terest becomes the paramount con-
sideration.
In these circumstances I soiemnry
request both the national and the
local officers and also the individual
mehbers of the United Mine Work
ers of America to recall all orders
looking to strike on Nov. l, and to
take whatever steps may be nece-
sary to prevent any stoppage of
work.
1t is time for plain speaking. These
matters with which we now deal
touch not only the welfare of class,
but vitality concern tie well-being, the
comfort, and the very life of all the
people. l feel it my duty in the pub
lie interest to declare that any at
tempt to carry out the purpoes of
this strike and thus to paralyze the
industry of the country with the con-
sequeDt suffering and distress of all
our people, must be considered a
grave moral and legal wrongs against
the Government and the people of the
United States. can don othine less
than to say that the law will be en-
forced, and means will be found to
protect the interests of the nation in

Pesident Wilson's Statement Aboh
the Coal Strike

Washington, Oct. 25.-President
Wilson issued this statement on the
situation which developed as q result
Of the refusal of the leaders of the
United Mine Workers of America to
call off the coal strike.
White House, Washington, Oct. 25.
On Sept. %, 1919, the convntion
the United Mine Workers of America
at Cleveland, Ohio, adopted pro-
posal declaring that all contracts in
the bituminous field shall be declared
as having automatically expired Nov.
l.. 1919, and making various demands
including go per cent. increase in
wages an dthe adoption of six-hour
workday and five-day week; and
providing that, in the event a sat
isfactory wage agreement should not
be secured for the central COMPETE
tive field before Nov. 1, 1919, the
national officials should be authorized
and instructed to call general strike
of all bituminou miners and mine
workers throughout the United States
effective Nov. 1, 1919.
Pursuant to these instructions. the
officers of the organization hav issued
call tn make the strike effectiv.
Nov. l. This is one of the gravest
stes ever proposed in this country
affecting the economic welfare and
the domestic comfort and health of
the people. 1t is proposed to abro-
gate an agreement as to wages which
was made with the sanction of the
United States Fuel Administration
and which was to run during the con-
tinuation of the war, but not beyond
April, 1872.
This strike is proposed at time
when the Government is making tic
most earnest effort to reduce the cost
of living and has appealed with sue
cess to other classes of workers to
postpone similar disputes until a
reasonable opportunity has been
afforded for dealing with the cost of
living. 1t is recognized that the strike
would practically shut off the coun-
try's supply of it's principal fuel at
time when interference with that sup
ply Is calculated to create a disastrous
fuel famine. All interests would be
effected alike by a strike of this
character, and its victime would be
not the rich only, but the poor and
the needy as well, those least able
to provide in advance fuel supply
for domestic use. 1t would involve
the shutting down of countless in
dustries and the thowing out Of
employment of large part of the
workers of the country. 1t would in
