COST OF STRIKES,

A British royal commission has reported on
the cost of strikes. It finds that while wages
have advanced between one hundred and twenty
and one hundred and thirty per cent, thirty
four million working days were lost by strikes
last year; yet in the opinion of the secretary Of
the General Federation of British Trade Unions,
the strikes secured nothing which might not
hove been gained by negotiations. American
data compiled by this commission lead it to con-
clude that strikes last year in the United States
cost labor seven hundred and seventy-three
millions, lessened the output of steel to the ex-
tent of two hundred million dollars and cut
down the production of coal by forty. million
tons. This vast cost and loss through strikes
falls more heavily on the worker than on any
other citizen; yet the whole country pays for
it by the increased cost of everything the peo-
pie buy. Who can doubt that a time must
come when wise laws and the increasing intel
ligence of workers will lead to the abandon
ment of strikes and the substitution therefore
of saner methods of settling industrial disputes.

MAKE THE BRIDGE FREE.

Since the freeing of a bridge across the Hud-
son river giving access to the city of Troy, an
immense number of tourists to and through the
northeastern New York metropolis has been
noted. On last Monday it is estimated that
more than seven thousand automobiles crossed
the structure. Heretofore, in the time when toll
was exacted and when the bridge was privately
owned, less than one-third that number of motor
cars was the maximum of traffic. Toll bridges
are relics of the day of the toll roads, and they
might well be abolished. In the case of the
Keokuk- Hamilton structure, legislatures of two
states must act before condemnation proceed
ngs can be instituted and one of the obstacles
to increased trade for this city, Hamilton, Car
thage and Warsaw removed Here is matter
that might proftably engage the attention of
public spirited citizens on each side of the river.

TIGHT CREDIT.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: There is,
at the present time, condition of
tight credit. II is due TO various
causes. but among the most i'm.
portant factors are the action Of the
federal reserve board in increasing
the radIscount rate to member
banks on money loaned on securi.
ties held by the banks to per cent,
and in insisting that practically all
such loans be made only on govern
ment securities.
II banks pay per cent for their
money it is inevitable that they will
charge higher rates to borrowers. II
they can secure money from the
federal reserve banks, only on gov
eminent securities, it is inevitable
that they will reduce their lending to
their customers. II the government
spends nine billion dollars year
when it is only taking in six billions.
it is certain that there must be more
and more Of these government securi-
ties sold Thus credit to business is
reduced as credit to the government
increases.
Senator Robert L. Owen. author Of
the federal reserve law, has, in re-
cent speeches, expressed severe criti.
cism Of the policy of the federal re-
serve board in increasing its interest
rate to banks to 6 per cent. Senator
Owen, both as the author Of the fed
eral reserve law and as close stu
dent OF economic problems for many
years, ranks as one of the nations
great financiers.
He declared recently, in a speech
in Memphis. Tenn, that the interest
rate to banks should be per cent.
instead of g. that the high rate
charged to banks will mean still
higher rates charged to business
men, thus putting Americas mer.
chants and manufacturers under q
serious handicap; that the excuse
that the federal reserve rate was
raised to 6 per cent. in order to stop
speculation will not hold up, because
the board has the power to refuse
to make loans for speculative pur-
poses, regardless OF the interest rate.
Owens criticisms are worthy of
serious consideration, but legitimate
business should not be made to suffer
in order to suppress it, IL another
exists.

workers were absorbed in the more essential
lines. Unbalanced production will correct IT
self in the long run, but if this correction is
brought about by voluntary thrift, it will come
without painful REIMBURSEMENT.
1t would never be more absurd than now to
say that saving, by reducing the demand Tor
certain goods, would throw men out of employ
ment. 1t is a continuation of extravaganza
spending that will be more likely to do that
Saving will merely prevent undue expansion OF
the less essential industries, and the excess saw
ing will be available for investment--for the ex-
tension of loans to Iehabihtate Europe and as
the sorely needed capital for our railroads and
other essential industries, to built up their pro-
ductive capacity and to provide the country
with an increased supply of essential goods.

NEED FOR BALANCED PRODUCTION.

t ..Produce more' has been urged as the great
nanacea for our present ills This, of course, is
as true as it is obvious. 1t is not only desirable
10 produce more now; it is always desirable
Ito do So But it is easier to talk OF more pro-
ducton than to effect it. The result OF the short
age of labor is not only to limit production be-
cause of insufficient manpower, but by giving
the men a feeling that they always get work
lit reduces the production per man. immigration
would help to correst this, and it is significant
that illmi grafton authorities report that lmnl-
grants are coming to this country as fast as the
limited transportation facilities bring them,
and that there is every evidence that, even with
the postwar passport restrictions, there would
be the greatest rush of people to this country
ever known if there were only ships to bring
them.
But as at present the supply Of labor and
materials and capital is strictly limited, our at
ltention, once we get labor to recognize the ne
cessity for maximum production, would better
be given to seeing that that production is prop
erIy directed, that it is not misguided, that we
have maximum production Of the right things,
and not Of the wrong things. A restoration Of
government restrictions and 'prorities, y
Though it may be forced by the railroad con
gestion is to be avoided where possible. Such
Restrictions are usually clumsy and arbitrary,
tie business in tanSle Of red tape, and are
often stupid. But upon each citizen rests the
duty Of thinking carefully about his expendi-
lures, and recognizing that the manner in which
he spends his income in these unsettled times
is as important to the nation as the manner in
which he earns it.
There is no danger Of a general ''over-pro-
duction" But condition of unbalanced pro-
duction already exists, and this condition
threatens to become more serious unless it is
recognized in time and the proper remedy
voluntary thrift-applied There is danger of
over-production of some commodities in rela-
ton to others, though the better way of state
tnent is that there is underproduction Of these
others The trouble the railways is not
glut Of goods, but shortage Of labor and of
railway equi pment. Extravagant expenditure
brings increased facilities for producing luxury
goods to meet the expected continuation or in
crease Of the demand, and if manufacturers in
these luxury lines overestmate this future de-
mand, they will produce more goods at present
high costs OF production than can be sold ex-
eept at loss If that should occur. men in
those lines would be thrown out of work. and
there would be a falling off in general produc-
lion and much Individual distress until these

With steady demand from all
coal consumers with a view to supply

THE DECLINE OF COURTESY.

Has the gentle art of personal courtesy faded
into the limbo Of things that used to be? Has
ii been pushed to the wall in the struggle and
fury of modern existence? One is at times in
,clined to fear so.
The world, our world at least, seems to have
hitched its wagon to the star of international
brotherhood and idealism to such degree that
Tire little amenities which make life between
neghbors pleasanter have rather dropped into
desuetude. Our gaze is perhaps bent so high
that it does not perceive the countless little,
ugly scenes which occur daily.
A constant lack of consideration for the COM
fort or feelings Of others seems characteristic
of our modern life. There is the individual who
talks at q concert, who comes In late to the
theater, disturbing his neighbors and lessening
their enjoyment of the play. There are those
who appropriate. the wrong side OF the side
walk. And those who elbow their way through
a crowd. Eft cetera, ct cetera.
Probably Confucius solemnly wagged his
beard over the blatant manners OF the rising
generation of his day. But there does, all al
lowance being made, seem to be an increasing
tendency in daily life to forget that old
motto Manners maketh the man.
Two Russian bolshevik cavalry regiments
are said to be in Armenia and are advancing in

French troops are thousands of miles nearer

soldiers, yet the United States was urged toI

country against foreign invaders. Of course
such an enterprise would mean immediate war
