WHOSE FIGHT IS IT?

IcO. II. OuSnlnS, VINO represents the Whole
sale Coal Dealers association in publicity and other
work, in all address the other day urged the public
10 let the present coal fight over coal miners wages
De a tair hight to a finish, and not to prod the gov
eri7ment until it steps in.
1t may be that Mr.. Gushing thinks there are
the operators. That is a conception which long
maintained IN connection with labor disputes. The
newer conception is that the public is an interested
party in all such disputes, and that it's interests de-
nrand consideration.
This is not entirely a fight between coal miners
and mine operators. There is a contest between
these two groups, OF course. But there have been
not a few indications that there is another and great
er contest involved in the whole situation. a con-
test with miners and operators combined on the one
SIDE, and the general public On the other. There
are Other cases In which allies have quarreled among
themselves, but when the differences arc adjusted.
those who were arrayed against each other are
found working and fighting together against a COM
mon enemy, or, it may be, a common victim.
We have recently had an illustration Of this
sort OF thing in connection with the building trade
scandals in New York. The moving spirit there
was "A ostenslble representative of the labor ele-
rnent. He had organized his followers in such
fashion that building without the approval of the
combination was impossible. Then began a course
OF intimidation and blacklnail in which contractors
and material men were required to contribute to the
funds winch the organizers were piling up. Some
contractors resisted and were forced out of bust
ness. Some made what they considered the best
OF a bad situation, and yielded, paying their assess
ments and charging the payments up to operating
expenses: Others frankly joined hands With the
blackrnailers and shared in the plunder. For all Of
this the public had to pay.
In the coal situation the public pays, as it usual
y does. there are quarrels between miners and
operators, but those quarrels have been settled, in
very many. cases, on what appears to be an under,
standing that the niAers are to have extravaeaait
wages and the operators extortionate profits, and
the public pays the cost.

DAIRY

The communication of John T.. Freeman relat-
ing to the enforcement Of dairy regulations brings
out a number Of facts to which attention ought to be
given. AS Mr.. Freeman points out. he is familiar
with this subject from both ends. He was a member
OF the city council when the original dairy and milk
ordinances were under consideration and he has for
some time operated a dairy farm Of his own, supply
ing milk in the city. He recognizes the need Of the
community for proper regulations in having SAM
tary conditions on the premises and where the milk
is to be distributed.
He realizes also the right OF the dairyn1an who
with the regulations to be protected in his
occupation and his observance Of the law by the as
surance that the law is equally and unvarying1y en-
forced.
Milk which is. produced or distributed under
improper conditions is as dangerous to the health, of
a community. when peddled from a one-cow dairy
as when distributed from a more prctentjous cstab-
llshment. The consumer has the right to demand
that the owner Of one. or two or forty cows, if he
sells his product to the people Of Grand Forks, be
made to keep his premises in a sanitary condition
and that his utensils be kept clean and wholesome.
Unless this is done all milk and da;.y regulations
will become largely a farce.
Mr.. Freeman is entirely right in demanding
that there be an equal enforcement, which shall in
clude all producers no matter where they arAlocated
or what their status.

wnDcSnsDAY EVENING, MARCH a.. 1875.
MISERABLE

Three or four members of the ways and means
committee of the house brought in a minority re-
port IN connection with the bonus bill which had
been reported favorably by the majority Of the COM
mites. The presentation of a minority report in
such a case, where the minority disapprovcs of the
action OF the majority, is one of the recognized pro-
ceduea, and is entirely proper from every stand
point In the present case it would not have been
difficult to find reasonable grounds for opposition to
this bi1, and such reasons could have been stated
moderately and temporarily, and in such a manner
as to command respect. The minority in this case
did not see fit to do anything Of the sort. Acting
evidently under the direction of Mr.. Kitchen. the
Democratic house leader, those members permitted
their names to be attached to a document which is
about as shameful a piece of political pcttifogging
as has ever been witnessed in the American con-
gress. Instead of an argument on the merits Of the
bill the report IS a political TRADE, violent, offensive,
and without the slightest prctenton of being a dis
cussion Of the subject under consideration.
Americans who were born in this country, 81
who have lived here long enough to become in spirit
a part Of the national life, are often concerned over
the slight regard shown for American institutions
by recent arrivals and great effort has been expend-
ed IN dcvising methods whereby those who have
but lately come to this country may be trained to
honor and respect the government and the ~institu-
tons Of the country. Such efforts are laudable.
But what sort of influence will be exerted on the re-
cent immigrant, or on the unframed youth, when he
reads such contemplate utterances as those con-
tanned m this report, utterances made by members
Of the country's governing body who should be ex-
pected to be at least a little above the level of the
gutter? Mr.. Kitchen is accepted as the floor leader
in the house of a great party. He is violent, pas
sionate, unreasonable, and utterly untitled for such
ty interest, respectable and competent men tolerate
him and sign the nonstrot1s reports which he die
lates. The worst enemy of American institutions
could not wish for anything more effective,
