TINE KANSAS EXAMPLE.

In the midst Of strike alarms
which threaten all business, indus
try and the public utilities upon
which cities must depend and that
threaten to take the milk from the
mouths OF helpless children and the
fuel from the CRATES not only Of in
dustry but OF homes. the mind re-
verts with hope TO the action Of
Kansas In the recent coal strike.
When conditions reached a critical
stage in that state Governor Allen
appealed 20 the miners OF Pittsburg,
a Kansas coal center, pointing out
that the patients in the hospital
there were imperilled by lack OF fuel
and would die unless coal might be
furnished for their relief, 1t was re-
fused and two miners who attempt
ed to supply the hospital were fore
ed to cease their charitable and nee
essary work. Then Allen appealed
to his legislature thus:
Any minority which has secured
control of a product upon which hu-
man life depends, and which under
takes, for the purpose Of affecting
wages or profit, 10 withhold that
product from the public until the
public shall freeze or starve, has, in
effect. superseded government and
has arrogated 10 itself the control OF
the destinies of human life which
government alone may have the
power to safeguard.
Then Kansas took a hand. II min
ed coal. 1t actually mined it Volun-
teers came forward and turned out
enough coal 10 supply 200 communi-
ties.
Later Kansas passed law in spe-
cial legislative session. That law
created an industrial court to give a
fair hearing to all disputes ain in
dustries involving the production
and transportation of all necessaries
of human life" II was tested by 400
miners who quit against its provi-
sions, but when the law began to
work and they found it was the res
olute intent Of the state of Kansas
to enforce 1t they went to work
again. There was purpose beyond
politics behind the law and execu-
tives who had rather be right than
reelected.
Kansas has done some freakish
things, has done many things that
| seemed freakish when they were
done, but which are principles of
good government today. In this con-
clusion OF the state of Kansas to
run the state of Kansas instead of
| turning it over to the mercy of agi-
tators and labor leaders there is a
strong hint to the national govern
ment.

highly imOsrtant eeaSins ON the
future Of susiness ana prices.
A not Illogical result OF the imam
cial movements OF the last week.
which have included . further
tightening OF money rates, has been
moro sharply defined policy of CON-
servation and caution In various
mercantile and Industrial channels.
and a disposition to proceed more
slowly In making forward commit
ments. Such tendencies as these.
appearing at . time when the eco
nomic and political outlook IL OBJ
scure. and commodity prices remain
on an unnatural and unwholesome
basis, are OF reassuring character.
and lessening OF extravagance
among consumers whose earning
capacity has risen greatly would
operate TO bring about more healthy
price conditions.
That price reaction must ultimate
ly follow. is scarcely to be doubted;
and a comprehensive list OF whole
sale quotations this week, for the
second consecutive week, dtscloses
more reoessions than advances. tltho
Duns Index Number on February
attained a now high level. With
storms and sickness limiting retail
distribution, and European exchange
deprecated beyond all precedent,
there has lately been rather more
pressure to sell goods in some quar-
ters; but it is not clear that any
general downward price readjust-
ment is imminent, and some prices
may conceiyaoly go stu higher be-
fore the inevitable decline develops.
Chicago-A reassurIng phase Of
the situation is that merchants seem
to be on their guard against a
change in price conditions. The
movement OF goods to consumers is
so heavy, however, that even hand
to-mouth purchasing makes grisk
business. New lines opened for fan
show material advances in quota
tons.
Toledo-while 1918 was the best
year on record for auto tire and ac-
cessories lines, most dealers predict
a still better one for 1920, and are
preparing accordingly. Retail dis
tributors of autos have, for the first
time in many months, supply Of
cars on their floor.
Kansas City-The pressing de-
uand for merchandise of almost
every class continues N excess OF
the supply, and there is at present no
CONSPICUOUS indication of reaction on
price decline in the immediate future.
Minneapolis-The strong demand
for practically every kind Of mer-
chandise continues. Factories are
running full time, and booking all
the orders they can I'LL. There Is
demand for a larger supply OF skill
ed labor in all lines.
