AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in. their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out Of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public hearth instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play big
part
Recreation Is found to be one of the
biggest needs In rural life. There Is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result Of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatlonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying on the programs Of
| the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv-
| ice helps the organizations already on
| the ground. The main object of the
service Is to lend hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

A TEW YORK. Sept 11.-Decision Of
" the miners federation OF Great
Britain 70 strike. not solely for
better wages and conditions for them
Eelves, but to force lower prices for
the consumer. marks q decisive point
IN the struggle which has been brew
ing between the British government
and parliament, on the one hand. and
the revolutionary Socialists on the
other.
On the outcome Of the struggle thus
begun hangs the fate OF British in
Etirutions at home, perhaps the British
empire, and fl great degree the de-
velopment q world politics. British
ers know that a great crisis IS rapidly
approaching
Tbs radical Clements In the huge
labor unions have been intensively
organizing for the conflict ever since
the srmistice and have been shrewdly
mznsuvering for position The de-
cision Of the miners is an almost
conclusive sign that they believe -the
day has arrived FOR a test OF
strength with the government. They
are aware that a real tieup OF the
coal mines OF the kingdom for any
extended period would bring wide
spread idlenegG, disorganization and
empire is strained and conditions at
home have reached a critical state
Yet they are pressing the mine strike
and demands 10 other industries with
g boidness and determination which

/ dustrial naturalization and sectional
tyranny" They are enlisting volun-
teers TO keep necessary utilities and
industries going in case OF strikes.
Working along similar lines Is a Lib
erty league, with a powerful member
ship, whose special work is to fight
bolshevism and radical socialism
The worst feature is that the gov
eminent is crippled by the rebellion
in ireland, the serious troubles in
I Turkey, Egypt and India. the chaos
on the continent OF uErope which
hampers British trade and finance:
the serious financial conditions due
TO the huge debt and other burdens
and the impossibility OF finding new
revenue TO meet them satisfactorily.
Labor troubles at home VIII aggra-
vate all these conditions and render
more acute the already serious DIFF
ferences within the government it
self.
Lloyd George Recognizes Peril.
How gravely premier Lloyd George
takes the situation is shown by the
words he addressed TO the labor coun-
ell OF action when it came into being
suddenly in the midst Of the Polish
crisis. II had been intended by the
Socialist leaders not to bring their
general staff into play until II had
received the sanction Of the annual
labor congress this month. but the
announcement Of the premier that
Britain would use all its resources"
TO prevent the destruction OF Poland
by the bolsheviki forced It into the
open It served notice on the gov
eminent that British action against
Russia would be followed BY an order
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1920-09-11

can bring but ons conclusion-that
they think they are strong enough al
last to force their Socialistic program
through
Strength Of the Unions.
Here are elements to be considered
as labor opens the conflict:
The miners federation. 600 900
strong. represents practically 100
percent OF the industry. and over two
thirds OF the members have voted for
the strike TO enforce the double de-
mand Of higher wages and lower
prices. Their aim is TO wipe out en-
tirely the profits OF the private own
ers and SO compel public ownership,
and they have notified the govern
ment that the program must be
treated as single and inseparable
demand"
The engineering trades have pre-
scented fresh demands which the en-
ployers say they viii resist, II neces-
sary. by shutting down all the works.
Shipping interests say the unrest
among the lockers is strangling their
industry. The transport workers and
railway men are pressing for fresh
concessions in the face Of big deficits
The two latter have formally backed
the miners program.
These unions control the Committee
Of Action-caIled the labor General
Staff'-which is able TO threaten the
government with an order to down
tools" by 100000 workers If its be
hests are not obeyed- This committee
