The High Cost of Strikes

profits of both employer and employees,
to act as preventives of serious misun-
derstandings and strikes.
At the present time such methods are
receiving much more serious attention
than ever before. If they go far enough
and spread widely enough, there is no
question that they will act as a very
valuable insurance against strikes in
these industries.
At best, however, such efforts, even
though they may have a maximum effect
where they are put in operation, in pre-
venting strikes, are so limited in their
effective application that they offer no
hope of an effective present solution Of
the strike problem as it concerns the
millions of unskilled or semi-skilled
labor in the great mass of industry as
whole.
In the coal industry, for instance
there are hundreds of different en-
ployers. Labor, on the other hand is
closely organized and controlled as
unit. In the recent coal strike the labor
leaders openly boasted that they did not
need to consider seriously the operators
that public opinion and the govern
ment were their only real opponents.

The Vicious Wnge Circle

Not only much of labor itself but
many broad minded men entirely out
side Of the labor ranks. have said openly
that in higher wages and better living
conditions lie the one ultimate solution
of the strike problem But this is
true up TO a certain point only. Ex-
orbitant wages pile up a cost of pro-
duction which the rest of the country
cannot stand. Mere higher wages are
at the root of the vicious circle which
has been so much discussed recently.
which so keeps raising prices that
labor has to get higher and higher
wages in order actually to keep even.
There is another large class of
Americans to-day who do not believe
that we have to do anything at all
about the strike problem because the
strike problem has already shown
every indication of solving itself. They
point to the very large amount of un-
employment that is already beginning
to exist in industry as a result of the
fact that the public has stopped buy
ing at the high prices, which have
been so largely due to strikes.

Jungle Methods

Many such stand patters predict
bread lines next winter and a general
condition in which labor will have to
be not only reasonable but subservient.
And they argue that the very laws of
cause and effect are always in the long
run bound to bring labor to its senses.
and that though such a solution may
be extremely expensive to the coun-
try it is so much more expensive to
labor itself that sooner or later labor
Will be forced to realize that for it's
own sake it cannot afford to take ad-
vantage Of special situations, as it has
in the last few years, and mulct them
without regard to the interests of the
rest of tire country.
There may be much logic in this
point of view. There is unquestionably
much evidence that conditions at pres
ent are working in that direction, but
such solution savors entirely too
much of the law of "tooth and claw" to
afford any progressive or satisfactory
solution to any problem of modern civ
ilization
There is no question that American
employers, with their minds bent
wholly on competition in production
and sales, have in the past too often
taken ruthless advantage of labor
when circumstances have put it in
their power to do so. There is no
question that the advantage labor has
taken of the strategic position which
the events of the last few years have
given it it has largely excused and
justified sin its own mind because of
much of the past attitude of its en-
ployers. If the human relations in in
dustry are to go on only on the basis
Of the law of the jungle-merely ac-
cording to the prmordial working out
of unmitigated cause and efect-if the
whole relation between employer and
employee is to consist of a watching
and maneuvering till circum tances put
ene Or the other at disadvantage, in
order that they may take their re-
venge or get all they can while the
getting is good, there is little hope that
even with all its greater efficiency our
system of industrial management can
last.

Will The OLD DEEP
WELL Be ABANDONED?
MERCHANTS AND CITIZENS PRO-
TEST VIGOROUSLY TO COUN-
GIL AGAINST SUCH ACTION.

Much interest is being shown by
citizens generally in what is about
to happen to the old artesian we'll
at the intersection of Lee and Main
streets. Removal of the pump to eX-
pedite the work of paving has already
been accomplished, but the possible
abandonment of the we'll is being
vigorously opposed by many of the
business interests of the town.
A few days ago the report gained
currency that the well would be dis
mantled and no longer used, where
upon a petition was circulated pro
testing against such a change. This
petition was signed by scores of citi-
zens. and was presented to the city
council. 1t is understood that mar
ioritv of that body are opposed to
doing away with the well. Present
indications are, it is said, that a
more modern lifting apparatus will
be installed and the well continued
in use
The well was drilled at cost of
several thousand dollars many years
ago. and has long furnished the
greatest source of drinking water to
merchants and visitors in Dawson
1t has been pointed out that its
abandonment would work great
hardship, particularly on the hun
dreds of visitors who come to DaW-
son from the country each Saturday.
