The sales have been of such proportion
that II is felt that, with the drop in

noted in some Iowa cities. where large
purchases have been made Of govern
ment foods and campaigns have been
in progress to obtain relief from the
high cost of living.
That relief has come more rapidly
elsewhere than in Marshalltown may
be due, in part. to a system of boy
colt against such articles as command
exorbttant prices, which have in some
instances, at least, effected prompt de-
clines.
Sales OF government foods thru the
local office have included all articles
offered for sale with the exception OF

for flour. Apparently the buying pub

THREATENED MINERS STRIKE

Chicago Daily News-Now that all
order for a general strike OF the or
ganized bituminous coal miners OF the
country on November l has been sent
out. it is necessary fer the American
public to face the prospect of a real
national calamity, though the secre-
tary of labor is seeking to avert the
strike by mediation and cancellation.
AS the leaders of the miners continue
to make demands that the mine OPP
orators characteriZa as impossible the
chances of preventing the
ment of coal production appears at
this time to be slight. In view OF the
threatening aspect of things, congress,
which is investigating the steel strike,
apparently does not think that an at
titude of watchful waiting on its part
would be regarded by the public as
sufficient. In the national house OF
representatives attention has been di.
rected to the impending walkout, and
Mr.. Mondell, the republican floor lead
er, has pronounced the ultimatum OF
the miners un%warranted and unrea
sonable. Their demands-which in
clude q fve-day week, a six-hour day
and a considerable increase in wages
Mr.. Mondell said would make coal
a luxury for the rich only" and would
paralyze all industry hat has to meet
competition in world markets. Presi
dent Lewis of the miners organiza'
ton asserts on the other hand that
the demands in question "are dictated
by physical necessity" and that they
can be granted without any material
increase in the price Of coal to the
consuming public. Here are plain and
basic issues of fact. If the strike &C
ours congress will be forced to inves
tigate it and ascertain the actual con
ditions as to coal production and the
miners warfare. Surely the investi
cation should precede the threatened
strike. Yet the public, it is again
demonstrated, has no can OF
machinery to get at even the funda,
mental facts of an industrial contro
versy of vital Importance to the
country. Without adequate informa.
ton, how can the public using its in.
iuence to bear on the side of reason
and fair play? The threatened miners
strike is another object lesson for the
industrial conference, which must not
fail to devise IN effective remeGy fol-
the intolerable evil of warfare in in
dustry.

campaign is laid, for the Red Cross
seeks to associate the people In wei

cially in those communities where
neither official nor unofficial provision
has been made for adequate public

1.-THE American Red Cross does not
purpose indefinite prolongation of its
relief work abroad, a policy which
would lay an unjust burden upon our
own people and tend to undermine
the self-reliance of the people relieved
but there is a necessary work OF
completion to be performed before
the American Red Cross can honor
ably withdraw from Europe. The
Congress of the United States has
imposed upon the Red Cross a con

thorizing the Secretary of War tc

and supplementary and dietary food
stuffs now in Europe as shall not be
required by the army, to be used by

To finance these operations, to con.
