JUST TO BE STRIKING.

As production diminishes, scar
city 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
dislike the prices of commodities,
they strike for more pay, and pro-
duction diminishes. 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 middle
western city struck for $1.0O an
hour. They were offered 9211b
cents an hour but refused it. The
strike dragged on. and finally a
large number of the carpenters
went to the chief town of an adj
joining state, where the union
scale was 80 cents an hour, and
worked for a dollar day less
than they were offered at home
although it cost them more to live
in their new surroundings They
had struck "for the devil of it, F"
and were losing money adj the
way.
AS long as strikes are organized
"for the devil of it, = and not to
cure a grievance production will
languish. commodities will be
scarce, and prices will rise. Let us
fervently hope that the farmers
will not take a notion to strike
for the devil of it. +"

ANYWAY. THEY'RE GOING.

We learn that unnaturalized
emigrants are leaving our shores
at the rate of / 900 a day, and that
each of them is taking at least
$1,000 with him.. They are on
their way back to Europe, with
the profits of wartime prosperity
This fact is worrying some Of
the economists. because they feel
that the country is becoming de-
nuded of currency They claim
that it will soon be impoverished.
But the economists were telling
us a short time ago that the infla-
ton of livino costs was largely
due to a surplus of currency-to a
disproportion of commodity to
money.
So the problem is solving itself.

Bankers Want Trained Men

Horace Greeley, if we remember cor rectly, was born in New Hampshire. a decdely eastern part of the United States He was highly successful ins New York citN but he advised the young man of his day to go west and grow up with the country. They went, by thousands, and now the sons and the grandsons of these men are coming back east. The New York banks says a writer in Forbes Magazine. are liter ally combing the country for young bankers to add to their staffs. Challen R. Parker. from the Anglo-London- Paris bank of San Francisco. has re- gently been appointed one of the vice presidents of the Guaranty Trust com pany. Another Californian, Willis H. Booth, formerly vice president of the Security Trust and Savings bank of Los Angeles, is now one of the vice presidents of the Guaranty Trust com pany. John Clausen, who has for some time held a position as vice president with the Crocker National bank of San Francisco. has lately assumed similar duties with the Chemical National bank of New York. The New York bankers want trained men, and they are willing to pay well for them When the presi- dent of one of the largest trust com panies in America was recently asked by a returned military officer the best way to qualify for a responsible execu- tive position in large financial insti- tuition, he replied. Get out of New York, go to some smaller city and make name for yourself. New York will welcome you back to big job.'
