Ten Thousand RuFr
Miners on Strike

BERLIN. Jan. ten thousand
coal miners in the Ruhr district
have gone on strike over the rights
Of the miners councils in hiring
employees. A struggle has been in
progress for months between the
government and miners federation
officials, on the one hand, who were
trying to increase production in
order to meet the Spa obligations,
and radicals, on the other, who for
political reasons were glad to see
Germany involved in trouble with
the entente and were preaching
strike in season and out
Thus far arguments against a
strike had prevailed with the mass
es of. the miners. and the present
strike, as the first success of the
Communists, is more important
than the number of men involved
indicates.
The Ruhr coal production de-
creased in December, and Germany,
which was $4,000 tons behind on
coal deliveries to the entente at
the end of December, may default
even more in January If the strike
continues to spread.

The favorable prospect for growth
in Republican strength in the South
has been commented on in these
columns. The promoters of the
movement in the different States are
many of them former Democrats,
and they are very insistent that it
must be white party, in the sense
that it must be in control of white
men. They say that IL the negroes,
whose voting power is negligible,
are permitted to share in the man
agement, the movement will fail.
They admit that negroes are denied
their electoral rights, which the Fiji
teenth Amendment was passed to Sc
cure, but they press the point that
there is no remedy for this and urge
that the only hope the negro has of
securing his right to vote is in de-
veloping his intelligence and eco
nomic utility, so that individual ne
groes of character and Intelligence
iioS . nave dCCOIuCu "
them what is theirs now by night.
They would welcome a division OF
negroes between the two parties be-
cause it would end the danger of a
solid negro party, which is the ghost
so often raised to frighten impatient
Denocrats back into the fold.
Immediately upon Hardings ac-
cession TO power a phase of this
question Is likely to arise for his
consideration. Vacancies will oc-
cur in the local Federal offices II
the Southern States. In many dis
tricts will be found colored meu
competent to fill these places so far
as Intelligence, character and eX-
perienCe are concerned. These men
have always been Republicans, and
often the only Republicans within
the district. Their friends will urge
that the negro of the South is en-
titled to the recognition which such
appointments will be. The vote OF
the negroes of the North is essential
to Republican success, and the party
should not abandon their brethreT
of the South when such an oppor.
tunity for encouragement is at hand
The promoters of the white Repub-
hcan party in the South meet this
plea with two vigorous objections
They say. first, that the psychology
of the situation is that the grea'
mass of whites in every town thai
is not wholly colored will bitterly
resent having to do business with
a colored man in an important Off
cial position, and that this fact 1yil

Alberta Farmers Hold
Enormous Wheat Supply

Ofcial estimates from the pro-
Vincial department of Agriculture
place the wheat crop average per
acre in Alberta this year at 25 BUSH
els The Edmonton Journal, anaIyz-
ing what this means, declares that
it represents a total wheat yield for
the province of 10000, 900 bushels
This is 100000 bushels in excess
OF the highest previous estimate
and is 3O,000,00O bushels more than
the previous high year, 1918.
The oats yield, so the Journal fip-
ures, will be 14O, 900, 900 bushels. A
considerable proportion of these
grains are being held by the Alberta
farmers for higher prices. They be-
lieve that when the British govern
'ment exhausts its present stores,
mostly grains bought during the
war, prices will go up. This condi-
tion is expected to develop next
February or March.
