THE COAL STRIKE.

Every indication points to gen
eral tieup of the eastern coal produc-
ing mines. Demands of 100000 men
employed cannot be met, mine owners
declare. Rather than submit to five
day week and six hour day, they viii
permit the mines to lie idle, possibly
for months. If mine owners are
adamantine in that determination. only
one result can follow. The strike must
fail American people, generally, hope
that some settlement may be made
before November l, but in the event
that is impossible, they hore the
strike does fail. No man cares to pay
$3.50 more per ton for coal than he is
at present and that is what acceding
to the demands Of the working men
would mean. It cannot possibly be
otherwise.
But in the event such an arrange
ment is unavoidable or is made to pre-
vent the acute suffering in the easr
and the general industrial tieup that
will follow Such concession. coal
miners face the great likelihood Of
being absolutely incapable of provid-
! ing. the demand for coal. Production
will be curtailed to such an extent that
undoubtedly it will be impossible to
mine sufficient coal to provide for
more than small percentage of the
ordinary demand Only enough coal
lis available now for 80 days unless
production continues. America had
taste of real coal shortage in the
winter of 1917. She doesn't care for
a repetition Of that experience.
Demands made by the miners AIDE
undoubtedly excessive. Few business
men could hope for success in their
enterprise if they devoted no more
| than six hours, five days week to it.
But the really vital thing involved in
the question is to where such de-
mands on the part of labor are going
to stop. There seems to be no end
Shorter working days and fewer Of
them. higher wages, higher prices OF
the resulting commodities, deeper digs
into the pockets of the general public
those seem to be the only sure things.
Some time, it must halt, And indir
cations point to rapidly approach
ing crisis.
! Sentiment is turning strongly
against unionism in the east where
the excessive demands are being
made. And that sentiment is backed
by 90 per cent of the populacc. Labor
unionism derived its strength entirely
from the support Of public opinion in
the past But that opinion has
definitely turned. The leaders deluded
themselves that the strength was their
own. 1t is almost certain that union
ism has passed the apex of its rower.

GO into the hydro-eiectric business
and cut out the grating companies

cost of fuel could be reduced to a
minimum, everybody could keep
warm at small cost and the state make
to much money out Of the scheme that
taxation in Idaho for state expenses
would be reduced to minimum if not
forever removed. The nonpartisans
talked SO long and loud about this
idea that the state public utilities
commission took it up and had hear
ings last winter. At these hearings
electricity engineers pitted their ac-
tual theory Of the mares nest finders
and the nonpartisan leaguers proved
to know as much about electricity
and its cost of production as Mr.. Sam

The utilities commission has now
made report upon It hearings and
goes into the cost of production OF

coal. finding the cost per unit OF
heat by electricity to be six to nine
times as much as coal. The nonpar-

AUTO MAY REGAIN
SPEED SUPREMACY
LOST TO AIRPLANE

Indianapolis-The recent tests OF
the Looming monoplane at Dayton,
Ohio, eliminating IN a burst OF
speed of 145 miles an hour eclipsed
the record Of 141.73 miles an hour
made by the late Bob Burman I'm
his Bitten Benz at Daytona Beach,
Florida, in 1911.
Thus has the airplane gained
temporary ascendancy over the au-
tOmobile as the worlds fastest
means Of locomotion. Experts pre-
dict, however, that with the air
plane engines of the type developed
in the late war, mounted in light
chassis, the automobile will quickly
regain its supremacy.
The engine that propelled Bur-
man to the pinnacle Of speed fame
vas a huge cumbersome affair of
more than one thousand cubic
inches piston displacement. Il was
geared / to !, so that for every rev
Clution OF the motor there was a
complete turn Of the wheels.
At it's best this engine developed
200 horsepower with q weight four
or five times as great as that of
the modern airplane motor like the
JIispano-Suiza that propelled the
Looming plane. The latter, devel-
Cping the same horsepower, carries
much less weight and is also much
more compact, making possible a
CHASSIS that is lighter and also Of
ters less wind resistance.
In high speed vehicles the ele-
rlent of wind resistance is even
more important than that Of weight.
the wind resistance increasing much
faster than the speed. In 1914 RAY
Farroun built q number of Maxwell
cars with windshields measuring
less than one foot square, but had
to discard them because they cut
down the speed OF the cars more
than seven miles an hour.
With q light. small motor lilo
the Hispano-Sulza, It is believed
that an automobile can be built that
will attain a speed OF perhaps three
miles a minute, or 100 miles per
hour. This is because the tractive
power OF an automobile Is greater
than that Of an aIrplane, the wheels
having solid contact with tho

This story is given just as the
press agent wrote it:
In a fast basketball game played
at the Augustana gymnasium last
night the speedy quintet of basket
tosserS from Young & McCOmbs
outplayed and outclassed the team
representing the l. S. McCabe & Co.
by a score of 16 to 2.
Superior teamwork of Young &
McCombs explains the exceedingly
one-sided score. At no point of the
game was the result in doubt, as
the Young & McCombs guards,
playing a consistent game, obtained
The ball at their convenience and
were constantly relaying it to the
forwards, who caVorted around the
Young & McCombs basket without
noticeable interference.
The feature of the game was the
lone basket of Chuck Wing, who
broke away in the first half, and
considerable maneuvering succeed
ed in chalking up the lone two
points for McCabe's.
Aside from the two features OF
the game, was the spirit displayed
by the crowd of a hundred rooters,
who represented the Young & Nc
combs company.
Rumors are rampant of a return
game, as the losers are anxious to
retrieve their lost fortunes.

TEMPE HIGH SCHOOL
 |S ADMITTED ID THE
 NORTH CENTRAL ASSN

TEMPE, April 1.-The following re- port has been received from MT. Reisen, who is high school inspector for the North Central association. Mir. Reisen makes this report upon returning from conference at Chicago, of the high school inspectors of the different states. It was at this conference that the representatives voted to accept the work done by the Tempe Union high school.
 R. J. Shirley,
 Tempe. Arizona.
 Dear Sir: I am glad to report to you that upon my recommendation the North Central association voted to receive your high school into member ship at its meeting last week. Member ship in that association gives dignity locally and recognition of the country over. It, of course, means also that such school must keep up the highest possible standard with regard to equip ment, teachers and especially the school atmosphere. I trust that you will find it possible to give this fact some pub licity in your locality, and that you will impress upon your board the import ance of maintaining the highest pos sible standards.
 Very sincerely yours, E. R. RIESEN l Tucson, March 2S.
 This means that since the Tempe i high school has been approved by this | association, graduates may enter any university, including Chicago Univer- | sity, Columbia University of New York and other large universities of the east without having to take the entrance examinations. It means that any work completed in the Tempe Union hfgl school will not have to be repeated when entering college or university It means also that the work which i, being done here compares favorabl with the work that is being done il other states. Last year Arizona ha6 elght other schools that had been ap proved by this association.
 The association comprises all tn, schools of the central and Westerl states that are doing first class work Among them are the following state with the number of approved school in cache Colorado, 37; Wyoming. S Montana. 25 Kansas, p: Nebraska v; Illinois, 172; Missouri 62; Wiscon sin, le6 and Minnesota, 7S. Whil these are not all the states which hay schools approved by the association. shows the extent of it's influence. Sin dents from the Tempe high can ente any high school in any of the state without having to take examination or have to do their work over. Non of these schools are approved until tn inspector has visited the school an
 has seen the kind of work that is be ing done.
