THEN WHAT?

Not long ago noted labor leader, discussing GER
tain phases of the labor problem with certain results
attained exulted in an allegation that the latter had
been effeced through "class consciousness"
To the reflective mind there is question
whether "class consciousness" is and be of any
benefit to the American people whole, for free
institutions Yet the general tendency seems that
way; and moreover it seems almost impossible to
prevent it or check it's growth. Yesterday 'The
Oasis presented series of excerpts from a farmers
journal that bore strong evidence that "class con-
seriousness" has reached the farmer, and that the
farm population throughout the country is becoming
irritated and restless One of the excerpts, com
munication from farmer made very suggestive
inquiry: "What would happen shond the entire farm
ing population go strike and under terms of Ego
ing OUT should produce of lifes necessaries
than sufficient to support themselves and famies?"
That query opens up very grave subject What
would become of the rest of us should farmers
strike and cease production? That is what other
classes do when dissatisfied with conditions. That
is what happens when general strike is called in any
Industrial class That is what railroad men do when
they unite in general strike. The wheels stop turn
ing and general suffering results. No class is
entrenched in possibilities than is the farming class
When that class decides to strike it is dependent for
sustenance upon no other class pr set of men. Each
farmer produce sufficient to sustain the lives of
all dependent upon him without eoing off from his
acres Hunger is one Of the potent forces in breaking
strikes-or in forcing them into civil connection and
destruction But the farmer can "sit tight without
snfferiro hunger end in doing SO he can push the
rest Of the world to hunger within very short
period of time.
In other times and other nations when "class
consciousness became aroused it pushed the "pro-
letara" into excuses of all Sorts and red revou-
ton convused the land Yet those who read history
carefully alege that it exercise of "class con-
sciousness" in the upper classes that aroused the
demon that laid low the nation, the people, very
civilization itself And restoration was accomplished
only by resort to despotism. That was what aroused
apprehension in John c. Calhoun when lie criticised
the tendency to Capitalization in government and
said 1t could end "ony in rule Of faction corruption
anarchv and dcern+iem"
But never before has the farmer felt "class
consciousness He has suffered the effects thereof
among denizens Of the city and complained about
it. But he has never thought of it himself. He is
thinking of it now. And farmers are organizing
Their ORGANIZATIONS grow storneer and more close
ly interlocked Suppose they do adopt the great
weapon of discontinued classes strike? Then
what?

UNIVERSAL BUILDING MATERIAL

An attempt has been made by tie Forest Serv-
ice to get at normal and probable lumber require
ments of TIE farming industry. The estimates Of
county agents indicate average annual utilization
per farm unit of about 1000 beard feet For prac-
ticaly all the Middle Western section an increased
future demand for lumber is predicted in order to
take Of improvements looking toward better
equipment and improved living conditions
with provision for increasing population and the de-
velopment of new farm units.
Due largely to Inadequate transportation facili-
ties 1t is certain that manv farm storage build
ings will be required this year than in the past. In
many sections not all of the 1919 crops have been
moved, to say nothing of the necessity Of storing

SHOCKS DESTROY LIVES

Buenos Aires, Dec. O.-Earthquake
| shocks which destroyed several towns
along the Argentine slope of the An
deS mountains were the most severe
experienced in this country since 1869,
when half the city of Mendoza was
laid in ruins.
Reports from the area where the
shock was heaviest indicate great loss
of life and property, upwards of $50
bodies having already been taken from
the wrecks of buildings.
At Tresportenas more than 100 per-
ished, and at Costa de Araujo 81 were
killed and so seriously injured.
1t is feared that more victims still
are buried under the ruins in each
town. At Tresportenas, Lavalle and
Lacentral, not a house was left stand
ing, and those not destroyed were
left in a dably damaged condition. No
estimate of the total number of per-
sons injured has yet been made.
Minor shocks continue throughout
the district, one particularly strong
tremOr being felt in the towns of San
Martin and Rivadavia. The people
are reported as being panic stricken.
The city of Mendt il was shaken but
did not suffer any extensive damage.
In the town of Costa de Araujo the
seismic convulsioh opened great crew
of oh hAt ie,
ing The water from one of these gey-
sers reached a height of about fifteen
feet and formed a pool in which two
persons were drowned.
A Red Cross ambulance reached the
village and set to work to rescue any
sufferers still alive in the ruins
More than 10000 persons inhabiting
little towns along the eastern Andean
slope, and as reports continue to add
to the long list of casualties, appre-
hension is felt that the final figures
will be very high.
The earth movement during the
tremOr was from northwest to south
east, and number of small shocks fol-
lowed the principal 2oncussion, which
lasted thirty seconds.
The latest reports from Mendoza
said that the shock at Tresportenas
had assumed the proportions of a
catastrophe. Three relief trains have
been rushed to the town, from which
thirty dead and as many dying have
been brought out At Costa de Arau-
10, which was virtually isolated, anoth-
er shock of the most violent character
occurred. At La Vale terrible scenes
were witnessed. The relief work was
most difficult, owing to the condition
of the roads, which had been broken
up and covered with water The
church at La Vale was laid in ruins
and the municipal buildings walls
were cracked.
