Why Men Strike

Samuel Crowther's new book,
~Why Men Strike" was issued by
Doubleday Page & Co., on May
18th. Mr.. Crowther is o sound
economist and an authority on the
relations of capital and labor,
both in this country and in Eur
ope. In this book he points out
the notable fact in connection
with many of the recent strikes
that the men strike first and then,
later, with not little difficulty,
uncover what are tAeir grievances
1t is his conviction that the real
cause of the present unrest lies in
the miseonception ox the part Of
not only the workers but also the
employers, of the real fun.tion
and ownership of capital. The
strikes are against capital as
such and are due to the feeling
that the fruits of labor are un-
Justly distributed and that in the
Industrial organization capital
gains everything and labor moth
ing.
His conclusion is that the possi-
bility of death struggle between
capital and labor can be averted
only if the margin of labor's
wages be returned to capital, thus,
when all are capitalists, the
ground for profound differences
between employer and employed
will be removed.

Uncle Sam Protects
the Silver Miners

The Record is glad to note that
the Treasury Department has TAX
en- action to protect silver miners;
of the United States against cheap
Mexican labor. Sometimes in the
past western miners have been
led to believe that official Wash
ington cared very little about
their prosperity. Then again, to-
read the eastern press and note
the strenuous efforts to knock
down the price of the white metal
so as to allow foreign powers to
get cheap silver at the expense of
the western miner, would make
one think that our real enemies
resided east of the Mississippi. 1t
is therefore pleasing to note that
the Treasury Department at
Washington has announced that
in carrying out the terms of the
Pittman law it will purchase only
silver produced by American min
esr. Under the terms of the law
+ Uncle Sam today has practically
contracted to repurchase 231 ,000.-
316 ounces of pure silver at no
more than 81 per ounce.
The restriction in the purchase
of silver to domestic producers by
Uncle Sam means there will be
two Independent markets for sill
yer, one within the borders of the
United States, enjoying the pro-
lection of Uncle Sam and embrace
ing the rest of the world and sub
ject to the general law of supply
and demand. Under these condi-
tions it is safe to predict that sir-
yer will not sell below ST per
ounce in the United States before
long time to come.-Mining Rec
