The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1921-07-09

The bill regulating the coal indus
try probably will be heard of no more
in this congress. There still remains
to be disposed of the bill regulating
the packers. Results of government
regulation in the past do not furnish
q very strong argument in favor of
regulation of the packers. The pure
food law is about the only regulatory
measure that has justified itself, and
that by securing purer food and not
by regulating prices. In most in
stances the only effect of government
regulation has been to add a new bu-
reau with its payroll to the govern
ment's burdens. without bringing any
real benefit to the country, and TO
raise prices. Even the pure food law
which generally is regarded as worth
what it costs has added materially to
the prices of articles coming within it's
operation.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1921-07-09
A STRIKE THAT FAILED.

The United States has seldom en-
dured strike of the extent and per-
sistency of the waIkout of the British
coal miners, which recently was
brought to u close. but practically ev-
cry time American wage earners have
quit work in a body there has been q
heavy loss to the public. Our own
coal strike not only reduced the sup
ply and sent up prices, but resulted In
a wage agreement which coal opera
tors claim will keep prices at their
war peak until next year. The steel
strike put big tax on the people in
the shape of higher prices for every
article into which steel enters.
After holding out lightweight days.
the coal miners surrendered, bringing
to an end one of the bitterest labor
has seen. The only gain of the strik-
ers was the establishment of the prin-
ciple of profit sharing. They lost
their fight for a national wages pool,
a national wage board, and will ac-
cept reduced pay. The end of the
strike marks the downfall of the So
called triple alliance union of the
rail employees. transport workers and
miners-comprising a membership of
about 100000. When the miners
called upon the other two organiza-
tons to strike in sympathy with them
they failed to respond, and the miners
kept up the struggle alone until they
capitulated.
While little was gained by the strilz-
ers, untold damage was done to prop
erty and industry. Many of the coal
mines were flooded. and some CT
them 1t is believed will never be
worked again. The recovery of the
others will necessarily be slow. The
British public was not only compelled
to pay high prices for everything af-
fected by the strike, but the taxpay-
ers were called upon to make dona-
tons thru the government to the idle
strikers. The strikers themselves, in
spite Of the largess distributed by the
government, lost more in wages than
they can hope to gain back in many
months under the new profit sharing
plan. The whole demonstration was a
disaster to society in general. and to
the parties directly concerned in par
ticular. Altho the lesson of the Brit
ish coal strike has been repeated in
lesser degree, time and again, prob
ably labor unions will continue to
seek what they believe to be justice in
the same old way until some better
method OF settling Industrial disputes
has been developed and accepted.
