FTER holding out for eshty-elght days. the strike
N Of the British coal miners has been settled
Thus ends one OF btterest labor struggles that the
industrial world has
The only gain OF the strikers was the establishment OF
the principle Of profit sharing
They lost their fight for national wages pool, ma
tional wage board aud will accept reduced pay.
The end OF the strike marks the downfall Of the
called triple alliance union OF the rail employees trans
port workers and mners-comprisng a membership OF
about $4,000
When the miners called upon the other two orgeniz-
aons to strike in sympathy with them they failed to re-
spond and the miners kept up the struggle alone until
they capituated.
While little was gained by the strikers untold damage
was done to property and industry.
Many OF the coal mines Hooded and some Of them
never will be worked again.
The recovery the Others necessarily will be very so"
The British public not only was compelled to pay high
prices for everything affected by the strike but the tax
payers were called upon 10 make donations through the
government to the idle strikers
The strikers themselves spite OF the argess dis
tributed by the government lost more in wages than
thev can hone TO gain back In many months under the
new prof t-sharng plan
The whole demonstration a disaster to society Ia
general
The United States seldom has endured strike OF the
extent and perssency Of the wakout OF the British coa
miners practically every time American wage earner
have quit work body there has been corresponding
loss to the public
Our own coal strike not only reduced the supply and
sent up prices but resulted in wretohed wage agree
which coal operators claim will keep prices at thef
war peak until next year.
The steel strike put big tax the people in the
shape OF higher prices for every article into which steel
enters.

FACTS THAT CONFRONT US

INIE tariff experts OF the Senate and House con-
Il fronted with a condition and not a theory.
The wretched condition in which most Of the workers
in foreign factories live fact recognized by every in
vesiigator.
They paid scale OF that prohibits any i'm
proyement in their standard Of living.
Because Of that fact the goods that they produce put
on the market at price far below the OF similar
products in this country.
Were those goods permitted 10 invade the American
market without hindrance there would be for the
American products and factories would either have tC
close down wage scales would have to be reduced t

That means that the standard OF living Of the American
workngman would be dragged down TO the level OF th'
Japanese and German standard
The only protection against such catastrophe Ties n
adequate tar duties assessed against foreign imports
such rates that the cost Of production abroad will he IN

1dx Uncertainty Paralysis
(From the New York Herald.)

Maybe the new tariff measure
will produce revenue az the rate OF
S2,000,000 a business day; maybe It
will produce only half as much.
Nobody knows. II depends on how
many imports the higher duties shut
out altogether. II depends on
whether there is purchasing power
enough in this country to buy nor
NAL offerings Of foreign goods at
low duties, much less high duties.
But one thing we do know: 1t is
that 1t will be many a day and after
hard fought battles in both the
House and the Senate before the
United States Treasury will see the
color Of any Of the new tariff duties
at all
Another thing we know: It is that
whether the new tariff, when the
country at last gets IL, yields two
millions Of dollars a day or one
million the Treasury must have
three or three and a half or per-
haps even four billions of dollars
more to meet the annual cost of
national government
Still another thing: The industry
and business OF this country do not
operate on the Governments fiscal
year from July / to June 80. They
operate on The calendar year. And
one-half OF this calendar year is
gone already. Perhaps before the
new tariff measure becomes law
three-quarters of the calendar year
will be gone. Possibly the whole
calendar year to all practical pur-
poses will be gone.

THE TWENTIETH AMENDMENT.

Ut may be that the twentieth amendment to the Const-
Il tuition will be one authorizing the President to veto
parts OF appropriation bills that do not appeal to him as
sound while approving and making law OF the remaining
provisions.
such a proposition has been presented in the Senate
by senator William S Kenyon, Of Iowa. and in the House
by Congressman Martin B. Madden, OF Illinois
early to forecast what will be the attitude OF
Senator's and members toward the resolutions but there
is good reason to believe that the amendment will re-
ceve the endorsement two-thrds Of them and be sub
mited to the states for ratification in the not distant
future.

act bills in their entirety they him by

approves but rather than deny needed funds to the

fscruple TO take advantage Of situation and insist that
unless pet project OF their be included in gem
eral appropriation measure they will hold up the whole

More than group OF legislators has resorted to
nlibustering tactics 10 accomplish its purpose.
Frequently the riders in the form Of general iegis
