TNJt-<CTTONs AND STRIKES.

1t must be said, in all respect for the
courts, that the injunction granted BY
Judge Anderson of indianapolis restrain
ing the United Mine Workers from trying
to unionize the West Virginia coal fields
is unfortunate It may be in strict ac-
cord with the law. and even in strict ac-
cord with fundamental human justice,
though some reasonable doubt may BE- al
lowed on either ecore-and yet it is I'M
fortunate, beca, e it seems likely to do
more harm than good.
The miners feel outraged. That may
be unreasonable of them. but that is the
way they feel. Human facts are just as
much facts as legal or economic facts
The very word Injunction is a red rag
to labor. and labor is particularly dis
posed to see red in a decision of this kind,
which seems to aim a body blow at un-
ionism.
The result may be a great coal strike.
The whole country heaved a sigh of relief
when the railroad strike was stopped. \
coal strike would be almost as disas-
trous. Indeed, it might amount eventu-
ally to the same thing. Must we face
such a strike now, at the beginning Of
winter?

is not what We want but what we can
bay and pay for. The Journal and the
Banner could probably agree pretty well
what Bennington 'c0UptT would like in the
way of roads but such a system of roads
would cost from twenty to thirty times
the grand list of the county. The interest
alone on such a debt would cost a tax of
a dollar on dollar Of the grand list year
after year without paying one penny o.
the principal.
The Banner does not believe in putting
any such burden ON the people of Ben

the Journal would. after thinking IL over.
IF the state should do+it. the burden would
he the same. We merely instanced the

Gent to put a hard surface on the 1000

Vermont. Even if this were done il would
still leave over eight thousand other miles

surface trunk line highways have not set
themselves down calmly to consider the
cost
Of the 1000 miles of selected Z ghwa-s
it would probably be possible to pick out
1000 or 300 miles which could fairly
be considered to include the major high
ways, or trunk lines. 4 system including
this 900 or 300 miles would not how

The Banner Is not afraid of debt if in
CURED with sound business judgment to
meet an actual need but there Is q limit
beyond which il is not wise to 60. The
federal government is now imposing tax
burden direct and Indirect of over $50
per capita. The state. towns and school
districts are collecting half as much more.
We should think seriously before adding
to our debt nd tax burdens which have
already raised the living expenses of every
family by hundreds of dollars annually.
To plunge eXperimentally while our in
comes are decreasing is a rash step even
though We should all like TO see Vermont
have state system of hard surface roads.
It is a law of nature that we cannot have
all we want. either in public or private
life.
With 10000 miles of highway in Yer
mont, any system of highway improve

work system. If we can keep the patches
growing larger and better from year to
year we should not be utterly cast down

TROUBLES Of A

Maine Woman Tells How
She Obtained Relief From
Almost Hopeless State

CON the third day after I began taking
Tanlac I could notice a big Improvement

said Mrs Margaret r. Davis, wife IF a
well-to-do farmer Of Bingham, Me:
"Tanlac toned up my stomach after
it had gotten into a condition that seemed
to be hopeless, for everything | ate was

IF the statements of the National Lum-
Der manufacturers association are accur-
ate. it is costing almost as much to ship
the nations lumber from the sawmiI to
the consumer as it costs to cut the logs
in the woods and saw them into boards
at the mills The freight bills amount to
5O0,00O.000 a year. For a carload of
2x4s, the commonest essential for
houses and other buildings. the public &C
tually has to pay more for transportation
than it pays for the lumber at the saw
mill
On the face of it, this is a pretty good
argument for reducing freight rates on
lumber. The railroads insist that they
cannot do it. They could say that in
their sleep. The steel industry insisted
that it could not cut prices, and ended by
cutting them to the bone. So did the lum-
Der industry and every other important
industry The railroad employees insist
that they cannot stand their recent wage
cut, but they will have to stand it. The
roads likewise viii have to stand rate de
lation wherever it is needed to bring
freight costs into harmony with the new,
lower price level

Road Argument Again.
Bennington Banner. J

LBtHAAlELoH BdNItI-t
The Bennington Banner comes out in
opposition to building 5000 miles of hard
surface roads and also for bonding to
build even 800 miles of such roads
The Journal and most other advocates
Of hard surface trunk lines do not ex-
pect that the state win start i'm on
fixed program of building all the roads
OF permanent construction, or that it
will issue bonds for even 500 miles of
hard surface roads at one time They do
advocate h beginning in the constTuc-
tion of trunk lines of cement or other
near permanent pattern. C
! hat gravel surface viii not stand
the traffic on most of our trunk lines

viii soon be a necessity on such lines
and it IS full time that this state apPre-
ciated the fact
The Banner does advocate the build
ing of cement roads by cities. villages
and prosperous towns This means a
continuation of the patch work policy
of the past which has been out of date
for many wears. By the Shades of Stod
Bates, is it not yet recognized that we
need state built and state maintained
trunk lines ?-Mancheste Journal.
It IS a good thing to have this uues-

citizens and taxpayers become educated

facts.

cat chose this part of the house for the

Give me a house with an attic" She
needed a place to put things.
