and it may be that a blunder worse
than a crime has been committed
when the best interests OF organ
lied labor are considered. Nor
is one permitted to hold capital
guiltless. One seems to discern
some Of the earmarkS OF a conspl-
racy. The strike is allowed to
drag on for weeks, for no apparent
reason. and then a settlement IS ar
rived at, for no apparent reason.
But a great many people are going
to suspect there is a reason. The
coal supply is low, so abnormally
low that no one will think Of ask
ing the operators to reduce prices
the coming winter The men tished
all summe~, and the operators will
fish all winter.
Other coal strikes, one suspects,
have been settled upon this basis,
after star chamber conferences be-
tween labor heads and the rich OPP
erators-the basis being division.

which the pockets OF the people are

Railway were attacked on Ridgeway
street some time S1/aay night and
one of them was subjected to rather
rough treatment. while the other
made for place of safety. An in
quiry among the city authorities
brought forth the information that
no arrests had been made, though
there is reason to believe that the
federal officers will make a thor
ough investigation This was the
first disturbance of any note in this
community in the past few days. 1t
is not known who was among the
number in the attacking party.
Early Monday morning several dep

OUR POCKETS PICKED

MIR. Ford recently landed, after
a short yachting trip, with the OBJ
servation that few if any labor or
CARNATIONS were conducted pri-
marty in the interest OF the men,
and he signifed his conviction that
all unions are engineered by CAPT
taliSts."
One wondered just what it was
that Mr.. Ford was driving at, and
ii it would not have been IN order
for the Detroit man to have APP
preached the subject with a little
more cirCumstantiality. The Ga
zette treated Mr.. Ford's thoughts
by the way, in lighter vein, and a
day or so later observed that the
New York Times was similarly
impressed. That paper was
moved to remark that lit must
be capital that also inspires the
fondness OF the unions for break
ing contracts.
The Times has an idea that
Mr.. Ford hates unions almost as
much as he does Wall street, and
that paper concludes; 1T IS well
known that ne is independent OF
both. The reason that he does not
class himself with capitalists is
that he pays 4 living wage ana
gives his men working conditions
conducive to seit-eNpreSslon.
Great wits are sure TO madness
near allied. Vet it takes a certain
courage to invite laughter in the
manner of Mr.. Ford'S self-c,preS-
sion. His friends are pushing HIM
for the Presidency. But even he
cannot delude himself into think
ing that there are any union votes
or other votcs-in his views ON
unions ~
We are not so certain, upon So
Der second thought, that Mr..
Fords remarks concerning the
activities OF Wall street, are TO be
taken as an indication that the adj
1uittedly great wits OF this very
rich man are allied to madness.
There is the possibility that the
reporter was less communicative
than was Mr.. Ford.
The Ford idea concerning the
relation between Big Business and
at least some OF the labor diStur-
Dances Is not altogether original
Justification for the suspicion that
Capital is not altogether free from
guile is perhaps found at the pres
ent moment when the finishing
touches are being pun ON the
agreement between the great labor
chieftainS in the coal mine fields
and the operators. There is no
more reason now why peace
should he declared in the coal m'n-
ing regions than was found to eN-
ist nineteen weeks ago, botI'
miners and operators knew as
much then as they know now. The
men are to go back TO work at the
old scale. and there is the usual
talk about some sort OF comln's-
sion to investigate conditions, Tins
commission could, and should
have been designated weeks ago, II
such a body can be OF any service
at all.
It is difficult TO escape the con-
clusion that very great CRIME mas
been committed against the puOhc'

Grahala-That the wet season that
prevailed throughout the southwest
counties played havoc with the
young quail, is the fear of the Ora
ham sportsmen. Those who have
had occasion to visit the fields and
woods usually where quail are plen-
tiful report having seen but very
few covieS and the theory Is ad-
vanced that the young birds were
drowned out during the rainy sea-

been some talk of protecting the
game birds by a closed season, but
it Is understood that the depart
ment of inland game and fisheries
have not yet approved the Sugges-
ton and are awaiting more infor-
nation on the subject.
