BLAMING THE FOREIGNER

every crime in the industrial and

the chief factors in the element OF

ment officials that it is said have
recently been unearthed.
If there is anything wrong in the
country blame foreigner for it.
That seems to be the slogan. Blame
the foreigner. OF course the papers
are very careful not to blame the
packers for the high cost of food
stuffs. They are not saying anything
about profiteering or other causes for
the present unsettled state in the
country. Get the foreigner; he Is
the fellow.
1t is getting to be a habit with a
large number of so-called Americans
to indiscriminately attack all people
Of foreign birth because they cannot
see things as we do. We seldom
think of the background. We know
little of their early environment, and
we know less of the beautiful picture
painted to them in the old country of

portunity to be rich and great; land
flowing with milk and honey land
without classes where every person is
on an equality with every other per-
son.
They are not here very long be-
fore they find that conditions were
very much misrepresented to them;
that the struggle for existence here is
X no less severe than in the old world,

plant, known only by his number, is

he operates.

is THE WAR OVER?

An exchange asks if the war is over
and then goes on to say:
President Wilson, in his statement
10 the coal miners. brands their pro-
posed strike as unlawful and threat
ening to use the force of the govern
ment against it, asserts that the war
is not yet over.
But the war was long since over
with respect to the control Of the gov
ernment over the coal operators and
ever the price Of coal. That is where
the war touches the coal-mining indus
try. That is an exact measure, of
whether the war is over or not.
Does President Wilson mean to take
the position that the war is not over
Tor the miners when it is over for the
operators? Does he mean to use the
force Of the government as an agency
Of the operators against the miners? /?

The same argument applies with
respect to the wage agreement under
which the miners are now working
and which they propose to abrogato
when they strike on November /.
This agreement ran until April i,
i 1920, or until the war was over.
The miners say that the war is now
over, and that the agreement is no
longer binding They say that the
war was over, so far as this agree
nent was concerned, when the gov
ernment discontinued the activities of
the fuel administration and removed
the restrictions or the price Of coal.

ment, it has not yet been advanced.

Imagination cuts a big figure at
times. Many people say they just
can't eat the substitutes for butter
sold in many Of the stores. Yet they
are eating the substitute and paying
real butter prices for it. As an in
stance. One day last week a young
farmer lad delivered butter to a lady
residing on Sycamore street, saying
his mother was unable to deliver it
herself. Incidentally the buyer asked
how many cows the boys parents
kept. Cows? The boy didn't seem
to know what the lady meant. 'Why,
we haven't had any cows for long
time, he replied He was then asked
where they obtain their butter, and
he replied that they get it in large
pals from Columbus When the mat
ter was broached to the farmer lady
on her next trip she became very
much frustrated and made some fimsy
excuse, but hasn't returned since.
Columbus is the home of the Ohio
Butterine Company, and there is no
doubt that the game is being played
right along by our country cousins
i the food pirates.

SAFETY FORTNIGHT
ON RAILROADS NOW
BEING OBSERVED

Various newspapers have recently
lie to the national railroad accident
prevention drive, OCTOBER Is to 81, in
elusive, following the proclamation of
this special no-accident drive by Di-
rector General Hines.
This accident prevention drive is of
great Importance, not only to the rail-
road employees, but to the public as
we'll, because of the good to be de-
rived by all concerned in the preser
vation of life and limb to railroad en-
ployes and citizens in general.
During the semi-annual period end
ing June 80, 1919, there was a tie
crease of approximately 1900 deaths
and $1,000 injuries on all the federal
controlled lines, and in this the cen
tral western region, during the same
period there was a reduction of 145
deaths and 1890 injuries over the cor
responding period of 1918. This ex-
emplifies the good work Of the safety
first campaign.
Among other reminders that will be
used during the coming campaign to
keep constantly before our employees
and the public the necessity for eau
tion to prevent personal injuries,
whistle slogan will be blown at the
shops and roundhouse on the Arizona
Eastern in the middle of the forenoon

benefit of the public, it has been ar
