who have been in touch with the food
problem complain of a lack of CO.
operation on the part of the Italians
which amounts to obstruction.
The third way is to secure what
foOdstufrs there are now undistrib-
uted in the Banat and Croatia and
northern Serbia and ship them where
they are most needed. A commission
of United States officers of the Hoover
mission is now at work making a
transportation situation. Those with
whom L have talked believe there Is
enough food to save the starving peo-
pie. but they do not know as yet how
it is to be distributed. There are few
automobiles here and little gasoline.
1t will be weeks before the roads
will be passable for camions.

There are literally scores of Eng

by the unusual noise of a car, ran to

Glad to Fight Irredenta.

tCount Czernin's answer to the ad-
jutant was as follows:l
Your Hight born, Highly Esteemed
Colonel: Before all ask YOU to trans
nit to his imperial highness my sin
cere thanks, because he intrusts to
me political matter which is close
to his heart. OF course, this is a great
hon,: for me, and | am very pleased
to be prepared to put my weak
strength into the fight against the
irredenta.
only l cannot understand how l
can work fruitfully. because. accord
ing to my opinion, we must. first of;
all. look for the errors in the execu-
tive branch of the government-that
is, in the ministry of the inteRior. The
various governors (stadthalters) are
permitting these conditions through
their typical Austrian timidity.
In the Hapsburgs (monarchy) it
goes best with those who act in the
most untamed manner. because in our
country one recognizes only those
whom one fears-one favors the Mag
yars and oppresses the Croatians; in
mercantile matters one favors the
Italians to the disadvantage of the
Croatians, and I could cite hundreds
of other examples which prove that
those are the best off who cause the
most trouble.

A REMEDY FOR STRIKES

The coal strike should impress upon
the public and upon legislators the
necessity for some law which will rem
der contracts, inviolate. When indi-
viduals enter into a written agreement
involving a business transaction. and
one of them fails to perform his part
the aggrieved party can take his case
into the courts and obtain Justice
The whole machinery of the law can
be set in motion to settle a-dfspute
between individuals. even tho it be of
no interest whatever to the public.
In the matter of the coal strike the
operators allege that the miners have
violated their contract This the
miners deny. There is no way of get
ting the dispute before the courts.
If collective bargaining by organized
labor and its employers shall continue
there appears to be a necessity for the
public to see to it that a means be
provided by which either party to the
bargain can be forced to IiYe up to his
contract
A large majority Of the labor unions
can be depended upon to keep their
!
courts would be unnecessary. Brick
layers for instance. adopt a scale at
the beginning of the year which the
contractor can depend upon in figur-
ing his bids for building construction.
But suppose he should take a contract
on the basis of paying bricklayers IS
day and month later they should
| demand $40. The injustice of such
proceeding must be apparent to all.
Workmen who quit in violation of
their contracts cannot be forced to
work. nor can employers be prevented
from shutting down thei-, plants. but
each party might be made financially
responsible to the other for departing
from the terms of employment once
agreed upon. before the expiration of
a contract.

woman. smiling. why didn't you say
so in the first place. OF course I
won't buy any"
At the end of the first day, one
member of the central community
council declared that he had already
noticed that number of stores had
lowered the price of milk. Il live in
the theatrical district of New York,
he explained, where there are dozens
of delicatessen stores. These have
been selling at from 2S to % cents q
quart. and tonight for the first time
they are selling it at 20.
brought forth the statement that the
nublic was buying milk the same as
usual, that the demand had in no way
fallen off on account of the strike.
and that if the price were reduced it
was due to good luck.
But whether or not tire boycott
brings down the price of milk is not
the most important question involved.

has up to the present been satisfied
with paying the bills and suffering in

now turned and the middleman's hat
is also in the ring"
In this the strike has already
proved successful. for the milk deal
