War Profits of Packers

G?HE federal trade commission has sub
mitted report to the senate in
u response to resolution introduced
by Senator Norris of Nebraska, showing
that the government knew of the excess
profits the packers were making and that
at the request of President Wilson a re-
port SO showing was withheld from the
public. This report contained the startling
revelation that the packers war profits
were at a rate of two and quarter to
three times their earnings in pre-war
years. This was held to be wrong by the
commission which urged that the food adj
ministration regulations of the packers be

Deserving of Support

0T7HE drive of the American Legion for
members is deserving of the support
u OF all ex-service men, The Legion
promises to be a powerful organization for
good In the United States providing it is
given wise direction. So far this has been
true. Nothing has occurred that should
make one believe otherwise. In Idaho the
Legion should have every man who was in
the services on its rolls. The state admin
lstration has moved to give it recognition
III Idaho by providing it with headquarters
IN the state capitol, most excellent plan,
Opponents of an organization of this
kind fall into three general groups: Those
who fear that the organization will be used
for illicit political purposes, those who fear
the erection of quasi-miitary structure
in the body polite with the incidental dan
ger of distinctly military cast, and those
who fear patriotic play to the galleries
with view to draining the public treasury.
The Legion organizers probably ap-
praised the likelihood of public opposition
Tor all OF these reasons at about what it
was worth. They had the experience Of
previously organized veteran societies as
a guide, and the temper of the times as a
warning; and the government itself antici
pated one objection by determined effort
to find substitute for the pension system.
Such organizations are born of common
experience in great cause. If properly
managed, they break the political ouack
over his own promises, and by their watch
fulness stimulate the honest politician in
his work for clean government. So far the
Legion has approved no bonus plan that
might empty the treasury, and there is no
indication that it will. The advantages are
at once apparent to any observer, the chief
one being the need of encouraging active
patriotism by keeping alive the best tradi-
lions of the armed forces This function
IS important to the former service people,
but far more important to the civilian
population, especially the youth of the
land and to the nation.

Promised Coal Strike

11HE next strike in order, according to
the United Mine Workers of Amer
III lea, is a coal strike-a walk out of the
miners employed in the big coal mines of
the country. November / is the date set
for the proposed tie-up OF this highly i'm
portant industry The only thing that can
prevent it is adjustment OF a wage scale
satisfactory to the miners, a working
agreement and shorter hours. Here IS
another instance Of deliberate attempt to
place further hardships on the consuming
public If the process continues, the
United States is going to have the most in
dignant mass of consumers in its history.
Coal is commodity they must have ire
spective of what the differences are be-
tween the mine owner and the miner. If
they can not adjust these differences, the
people will insist that the government take
hand Certainly a nationwide coal
strike should not be permitted under any
circumstances with winter but few
months off.
The mine workers are demanding: A flat
increase of 60 per cent in wages for all
classes of work; time and a half for over
time; six hours day and five days week.
An increase in wages may be justified to-
gether with time and a half for overtime,
but it will take more argument than the
miners have put up to the present time to
convince the public that the week scale
should be five days and that they should
work but five hours a day.
The senate investigating committee
should take up the miners proposal at the
same time it is probing into the causes for
the steel strike. In fact, the entire labor
situation should be reviewed. Congress
need not be in doubt about the necessity
of enacting legislation to govern the indus
trial situation. Congress owes it to both
employer and labor to pass legislation to
bring about an adjustment Of the labor
controversies.
Senator Cunmins has introduced a
railroad bill in the senate, one provision of
which proposes to prevent railroad en-
ployes striking This provision is classed
by w. M. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen, as an
attempt to place shackles of voluntary
servitude on railroad workers and the
"boldest attempt at individual and eco
nomic bondage since the Civil war" Mr.
Doak may be right but the fact remains
that the people are weary Of strikes and
while not desiring to be unfair to labor,
honestly believe that there should be some
medium of adjusting labor differences
without tieing up important industries and
throwing thousands of working men out of
employment for an indefinite period
Guiding labor leaders should be able to see
this also. Without doubt the country is
drifting to crisis in labor troubles out of
which will rise some reasonable form of
arbitration without interfering with the
rights of either employer or employee.
