on prices, but with everybody rush
ing to buy at once the inevitable re-
suit is to initiate them.
The rule is the same for over
alls as for theater tickets or dia-
mends or Stutz Motors; when the
demand exceeds the supply the
dealer has the buyer at his mercy
and cap charge what he pleases.
No doubt the motives actuating the
organizers OF Overall Clubs are
praiseworthy as evidencing an at
tempt TO meet the higher cost of
living by individual economies.
But the best way to that end is to
reduce consumption and not merely
to divert it into new channels. There
could be much effective direct &C
ton of this sort if every American
family resolved itself into an "Old
Clothes Club" and proceeded to
make its discarded suits and shoes
and hats do another year.-NeW

THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE
PRESS IN AMERICA.
An<erlca's New Political Co,

Americas New Political Course.
The present new International
policy Of the United States can be
stated in the following words:
To interfere as little as possible
in the affairs Of other nations, and
to do all the business possible.
Now that the American army has
been withdrawn from Siberia. it has
been withdrawn from everywhere. It
has but little interest in Plume and
i IS not interested In the Baltic
problems. Even little attention is
given Germany. But on the other
hand we read daily that various or
CARNATIONS demand the ratification
OF the treaty with Germany and that
the Russian question be solved one
way or the another.
All of this is done with the object
in view that American dealers could
carry on commerce with these coun-
tries. And the American govern.
ment Is giving heeds TO these de-
maudS.
But this now policy is meeting
many difficulties. One of the first
lessons learned was that these ma
tions must first be recognized before
trading can be done with them. For
example, the blockade has been lift
ed hrOm Bolshevik Russia, vet with
out recognition very little business
is being done.
This is also true Of the Baltic
countries. America desires to trade
with Iithuania. Latyia and Esthon-
Ia, but it cannot do so as America
has failed to recognize the govern
ments OF these countries
As long as those countries remain
unrecognized-just 80 long they
VIII be unable 10 obtain credit IN
this country. and until then bank.
ing operations canno, be established.
So long as there are no banking
connections, no credit. no business
Is possible.
And II the United States desires
TO pursue this policy, she cannot
evade recognizing these countries

OVERhLLS AND THE
COST OF LIVING.

The organization OF Overall
Clubs" to combat the high cost of
clothing has only begun, but the
movement has proceeded far enough
to prove one fundamental cause OF
higher prices. When the dealers
in Birmingham. Alabama, discover
ed the sudden demand for overall
trousers they advanced prices from
50 to Sc pair.
AS there is not the slightest rea-
son 10 suppose that the cost of or.
binary clothing was reduced TO cor.

concerted effort to economize In

THE OUTLAW
STRIKE

The railroad employees who are
trying to paralyze transportation
and cut off the public food supplies
left their work without taking the
trouble to formulate any grievances
Tribune reporters, inquring what
these grievances were, received the
answer: Go to hell, you bum"
AS an afterthought some demands
for higher pay now have been
drawn up. But to whom are these to
be submitted? They have not been
approved by vote Of the unions TO
which the strikers beiong. They
cannot be laid before the railroad
arrangements, because the latter
have wage agreements with the
unions, inherited from the era Of
government operation. The Esch-
Gummins law provides for the sub
mission of all wage disputes to an
arbitration board appointed by the
president.
The strikers have disregarded
both the law and their union obi
cations. They have .repudiated all
sense of duty to the public. They
are making war on the community
at large in order to force an ac-
ceptance of their illegitimate claim.
The public cannot afford to com.
promise with such bushwhackers.
The strikers challenge admits OF
but one answer. Any appeal they
make to public consideration or toll
erance should be met with an en-
phatic No" They have put them
solves out Of court They are seek
ing to accomplish by willful inter
ference with the pubic interest
what they have an orderly means
OF accomplishing through union ac-
ton and an appeal to the new rail
road arbitration commission. Their
interference with the operation Of
the railroad system should be met
with all the force the government
has at its command.-New Yorl.

Already the news from Chicago
shows how the words reds" pro
Germans" 81. w. W" and all the
rest of the matter is to be trotted
out in an attempt to punish the
spokesman for the men and thus, if
possible, to break up the strike.
Another Democratic administration
jailed Debs because he remained
faithful to the railroad workers in
the strike Of 1894. Will they try to
do the same thing with other spoke
men of the strikers in 1920? Is John
Grunau going to be framed up as
was Debs in the great A. R. L.
strike?
If there was any doubt as 10 the
manner in which the interests Of
the strikers had been neglected by
the big leaders Of the railroad I'M
ions, these readers supplied the
proof when they signed the state
ment attacking the strikers. TO
say that the strike is the result Of
agitation by any particular group is
arrant nonsense. 1t is the result of
the great and most efficient agitator
in the world injustice

workers Of this country place their
interests in the hands of few Of
