aster. They will see those who direct
labor disposed in nan cases to yield
to these demands and pass the extra
cost along to the consumer. They will
see a general disposition among pro-
ducers and distributors to participate
in a tacit higher price conspiracy as
the easiest way out of uncertainties.
They will not see much attention be-
ing paid to the rights and interest of
the consuming public. The conferences
can be Of use only as it brings the
~contending forces to a fuller realiza-
ton of the fact that the rights and
interests of the consuming public are
paramount to the rights and interests
of labor or the rights and interests
of those who direct labor. In exact
line with this duty resting upon the
conference is the suggestion, already
made in various quarters and how re-
newed by Attorney General Palmer,
of a universal industrial armistice Of
six months. The industrial warfare
that is becoming widespread needs an
armistice no less than the world war
needed the armistice of last Novem-
Der. If we could all agree to postpone
the settlement of our wage difference
for six months, the chances are that
the greater share of those differences
would disappear ere the moratorium
had expired. Six months of steady
production, of loyal cooperation on all
sides, would work a miracle in our
economic condition. 1t would replen-
ish our depleted stocks, fill our ma
tional larder, restore the lost balance
between supply and demand, bring
prices down nearer to normal levels,
rehabilitate the deprecated dollar, put
us all, whether employer or employed,
in coy quarters on Easy street. There
is one great obstacle to the signing
of an industrial armistice. 1t is the
intransigent attitude of labor. The
wisest leaders of labor are not in the
saddle, is is to be feared. The con
servatives in the ranks have been
more or less asleep. The radical and
the. agitator have found ready ear be-
cause Of unsettled conditions. When
a special committee of the New York
Federation of Labor a few weeks ago
made a report recommending a closed
season for strikes, so that normal
times might return, the president of
the federation few into a violent rage
of denunciation for these TRAITORS to
the cause of labor" Yet thinking la
Dor men know and admit that strikes,
whether successful OF not, only lead
to the hosting of prices and thus de-
feat their purpose. The country needs
an industrial armistice and needs 1t
badly. But il will be little short OF
a miracle il labor does not heed bad
counsels and refuse to bring the in
dustrial war 20 at least a temporary
close. In that case things must be
fought out the coming winter.

THE CROWS NEST

All those who are disposed to grum-
BILE about economic conditions at the
present time are probably viewing
them from a strictly selfish stand
point. W. must remember that every
one in active life is both a producer
and a consumer. He who produces
wants the highest prices that are go
ing for his products and wants to get
what he at the lowest pos
sible cost. Those who want to work
are getting higher wages than they
ever had in their lives before. Pro-
ducers who have things to sell are
getting higher prices for their prod
ucts than have ever been known since
the close of the Civil war. But no
one seems to be satisfied. There is a
manifest reason. Those who are get
ting good wages want to buy what
they need, or extras that they think
they need, at pre-war prices. Those
who have products to sell, such as
raw foodstuffs. or other necessities,
want the highest prices for them.
ofttimes expect to get finished prod
ucts that they need for what they
were accustomed to pay for them five
or six years ago. They do not take
into account the law of averages. II
we were to think in exchange values
instead Of dollars and cents we might
become somewhat reconciled to pres
ent conditions. Suppose We bark
back to the old system of barter and
exchange and leave out all idea of
. common medium OF exchange. For
instance we may need q thousand feet
OF common lumber. We got to the
lumberman and offer to barter with
him for something Of ours that he

RAIN DOES LITTLE
 DAMAGE ID COTTON

The rain yesterday damaged cotton on the richer soils, but has helped the cotton growing on soils which are less fertile, according to statements made by cotton experts.
 It is explained that on soils capable to yielding more than half a bale to the acre, the lower polls on the cotton will fall as a result of the rain, and a large woody growth will result. On lands normally producing less than a half bale, however, the crop will be benefited.
 Alfalfa which has been cut must in evitably have suffered from the heavy rain, ranchers state, but the rains in July and August always occur and must be anticipated.
