Learning Home Lessons.

Well, anyhow, IN the past tnee
years we have all learned something
about our country, its resources. its
institutions and their functionings,
that should henceforth be of value to
US. There have been both agreeable
and disagreeable surprises.
Take the matter of the mobilization
of the large Army, and the mobiliza-
ton of business to support the Army.
Both accomplishments were agreeable
surprises. A huge force was put into
the field in a short time, and business
was brought into action for the gov
ernment's purposes with remarkable
speed. And the record that both the
Army and business made caught the
attention and fixed the admiration of
all the nations.
Take the matter Of the melting
pot That was a disagreeable sur
all who had come within her gates to
improve their own fortunes. Too
many, it was discovered, had, while
filling their wallets, remained indif.
ferent to the fortunes OF the country.
Large numbers had not become citi-
zens, and some who had were proving
bad citizens.
This surprise continues. It is now
known that some men who have
wormed themselves into the confidence
of their associates are figuring on
revolution. They would destroy the
government, and put in its place some
thing leading straight to, anarchy.
They would reduce America to con-
dition resembling that at present ex-
listing in Russia.
The long debate on the peace treaty
has developed many conflicting views
about the, Constitution, and turned
wide and close attention on that in
strument. 1t has probably never be-
fore been discussed from as many an
giles, or been brought in i-s leading
features so close to the everyday un-
derstanding. The Constitution, in
deed, has become sort Of best seller.
And surely We are all now learning
more about capital and labor, their
interdependence and yet their bitter
strife, than all the previous years have
taught US. 1t is surprising story.
Capital is here in enormous sums, and
has been earning, and deserving, enor-
nous dividends. Labor is here in
| enormous numbers, drawing, and de-
serving, the highest wages. paid any
| where on earth. They cannot live
without each other, and yet they would
appear not to be able to iv, together
III harmony. What Is. the answer
What is the remedyf What is needed
| is not 80 much the easing up Of the
present situation as permanent cure.
This is the day of new nations and
old nations in new forms. All de-
sire relations with US and We with
them. But in order that we may profit
by those relations and realize our
hopes and aspirations We must pull
ourselves together and work with q
right good will all along the line.

ments will be made in the federal
court on a motion by government rep
resentatiyes to transform into tenn
porary or permanent injunction the
restraining order issued by Judge An
derson last Friday against officials and
members of the United Mine Workers
to prevent them from promoting the
strike of the soft coal miners. This
motion will be resisted by representa-
tives of the union on the ground, it
is indicated, that the government has
no. right to enjoin the miners or their
leaders from the exercise of the nat
ural right to strike for higher pay
and betterment of conditions.
On the outcome of this proceeding
will depend in great measure the out
come of the strike. If the restrain
ing order is dissolved the leaders of
the strike will be enabled to distribute
the funds accumulated for. the susie

page of work, and otherwise to pro-
mote and direct the strike now in
progress. If the order is sustained,
whether in temporary or permanent
form, as an injunction, the chief asset
of the union will continue to be I'M
available, and in view of the lack of
funds it is believed that the strike
will shortly collapse.
Meanwhile efforts are being made
to bring about an adjustment, ire
spective of the injunction. There is
really no reason why the issues in
dispute between the miners and the
operators should not be settled by
arbitration.
Representative of the miners have
suggested that if the injunction were
dissolved an agreement could be
quickly effected. Representatives of
the government have promptly indi-
Gated that the injunction would not

In other words, under the government
policy in the handling of this strike,
the settlement must come about, ire
spectiye of the court procedure. In
this there is general public assent.
1t is estimated that the country is
now using. three times as much coal
as the mines are producing. At this
rate the reserve supply will quickly
be exhausted. Every possible econ
omy is being adopted to prolong the
supply. However optimistic the gov
eminent authorities may be respect
ing the probable early end of the
strike and resumption of mining on a
full scale, these precautions are vitality
essential Already the country is feel
ing the pinch of shortened coal sup
ply. Another week will cause it to
realize keenly the menace to health
and life as we'll as business and pub
lie welfare involved in this strike of
over 100000 miners.

BROTHERHOODS PREPARED
FOR RAILROAD STRIKE,
RAILWAY AGE DECLARES

New York, Aug. 8. - That the
leaders of the railroad labor brother;
hoods ARE fully prepared to cali
a general railroad strike for the
purpose of forcing Government
ownership and employees manage
ment of the railroads upon the
American people" is the opinion
expressed by. the Railway Age IN
an editorial in its current issue.
THE railroad labor leaders are
plainly trying to create labor sit
uation which will convince the
public and Congress that return
to private operation on January l,
as announced by the President, is
impractical" the Railway Age says,
''and it is beyond serious question
that they are prepared to take the
same steps to force ICongress TO
adopt the Plumb Plan of Govern
ment ownership that they took to
force Congress to pass the Adamson
| Act.
Rumors Come True
| There have been sinister rumors
| for several weeks that the leaders
| of the labor brotherhoods were
| quietly preparing. first, to prevent
| the return of the railroads to priv
ate operation, and then to force
Government ownership and en-
/
crafts and Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen already have given notice
that they will strike unless demands
which they have presented to the

strikes of shop employees already
have occurred. Among the most
ominous signs are statements which
are being made by the labor leaders
