HARDSHIPS ATTENDING
 ENGLISH MINE STRIKE

LEEDS, Eng, Aug. 30 (by maiD - Some of the Yorkshire miners who went on strike in the great coal field there when 250,000 men quit work in July to protest against the govern ment award for piece work, seem hardly satisfied with the result in view of the fact that two months will be required to restore some of the mines to operation.
 The Yorkshire Post quotes one of the miners as saying:
 Fancy grown-up men like us quar- Teling about the price of packet of cigarettes more or less a week. It's enough to make a cat laugh or man cry-if he has children to feed. Principle is all right when it doesn't mean loss of pay. I wish our lead CTS felt it the same way, but their wages go on all the same with ex- tras for attending all meetings. Fine words butter no parsnips,' and we can't fill our youngsters stomachs with principle"

COOPERATION WITH OFFICIALS

The Juneau Empire, which has in cured the enmity of the labor unions of the territorial capital, was recently presented with a communication which it felt obliged to ignore. It dealt with the avowed purpose of the unions to "enforce" the liquor law The Empire, in answer to the furor aroused, prints the following very sensible editorial, which may be ap- plicable to other communities than Juneau:
 If any organization is in the pos session of evidence that will fasten guilt for crime on any one it is it's plain duty to go to those in authority and present the facts and an offer of cooperation in law enforcement It is more particularly it's duty to do that if it has any evidence of syste- matic violations.
 Further than that if the communi- ty wants the prohibition laws en- forced in Alaska it is the duty of the community to cooperate with those charged with authority.
 This means that when good citi- zens have evidence of the violation of the dry law they should give it to the constituted officers of the law and back it up with testimony in court to juries.
 Tt also means that when good citi zens are called to serve on juries they should render verdicts in ac- cOrdance with law and the facts they should convict where guilt it proved
 The federal authorities have ar rested many of those accused of boot logging, and in fact 80 per cent of the cases where the accused have pleaded not guilty and asked for jury trials they have been acquitted.
 And some of those who are lOudest in their criticism of the authorities for not enforcing the dry laws have been on juries and helped to acquit.
 "The Empire knows, the people of Juneau, including those who criticise know that those in authority prose cute whenever they can get the evi- dence and they are always on the lookout for evidence.
 Tt is time for more cooperation, more good citizenship, and less carp ing and destructive criticism"
