farms are developed with the under
standing that produce can readily be
shipped to market; that cities exist
only because food is immediately
available from the farms over the
railroads; that if the farmers should
strike and refuse to produce food
they would be justly condemned;
therefore railroad laborers have not
the moral right TO strike and tie up
shipping facilities, and some other
means of settling disputes must be
found. While the farm organizations
took the railroad workers to illustrate
their point. the same rule applies to
most, if not all, organized labor:
Coal miners have not the moral right
to strike because in so doing they en-
danger the comfort and perhaps the
lives of all who depend upon coal with
which to cook their meals and keep
themselves warm; organized tailors
have no right to strike because in so
doing they stop the supply of cloth
ing, and so on down the line-nearly
every form of labor is responsible to
the public as our methods of living is
such as to demand that all ordinary
channels of trade and commerce must
be kept open and going full speed
ahead. And the more we reason it
out, the palmer it is that the best
thing in life is to have good job and
do a good job, turning a deaf ear to
the trouble-makcr be he political
quack doctor, strike agitator. or non
partisan league organizer.

Eastern Montana, the Dakotas ano

Eastern Montana the Dakotas and
Minnesota experienced the worst
SnoWStorm and blizzard on Monday
since 1883, according to the dis
patches. Several school children
were lost and frozen to death in
North Dakota while on their way
home. The terrible nature of such a
storm can be realized only by those
who have gone through them. Tho
storms experienced in the sos and
9O's resulted in the loss Of hundreds
of lives, great many more in pro-
portion to the population than will
have been lost in this storm: the
reason being that in the pioneer days
there were but few landmarks that
could guide those caught in the
storms to shelter.
