HIGHWAY OR BYWAY?

When you go for motor ride dc
you follow the hard-surfaced road
or venture out into the other high
ways? A philosopher notes this diff
ference: The broad highway never
rea ches very far into the country. II
you think that Is not true In these
days when paved roadway runs
along for hundreds Of miles, think II
over. On the broad highway 1t Is
easy going-so easy that there Is a
great deal Of company. And you
have to do about what the others do.
1t Ia paved, say with concrete. SO
YOU must keep on the concrete; that
takes watching. There IL another
traveller not very far in front; you
cannot run into him, so that takes
watching. There is another behind,
s0 You must not stop suddenly,
Someone wants to pass you and If
you feel like idling along pretty
much everyone will want to pass
you. Now your road, 1t is true, lies
through the open country. but what
you see Is the other folk on the
/ road highway. You aren't very far
from the city.
When you take the byroad you
find some rough going. 1t is ysur
best friend. A little rough going
sifts out a majority Of humanity.
You can choose your own gait here
and not he worrying much about
others. The trees come closer Mt
each side; wild grapevines over
hang here and there; the woods look
more natural; the birds have not all
been driven away. Yon can even hear
some Of the infinite variety of coun-
try sounds when there is less sound
Of the thrOb of motor and the warn
Ing horn. You inhale more Of the
country smells and less OF the Odor
and the fumes of burned gasoline.
You can even do bit of thinking
IN the byroads, where the crowd has
not intruded and you don't have to
10 pretty much what the others in
front And behind and beside YOU
ire doing !

ThE SABOTAGE or TIME ,

Chicago Daily News: In his ad.
dress, at the opening Of the Chicago
Pageant Of Progress, Postmaster
General Work made forcible pre-
sentatiOn Of the basic evil In the
coal mining industry. 1t is an evil
that everybody recognizes and yet
nothing effective h done about 1t.
As DIR. Work says, there are about
twice as many coal miners In the
United States as are needed to per-
FORM the work Of getting out the
nations supply Of coal. There are
also very many more operating coal
mines than the country needs. The
result Is that the miners ordinarily
work only about half the time.
Through =, an extremely powerful
uni0n--a union which causes Its
membership dues to be collected by
the employers out Of the wages Of
the men--they demand a living
wage for half-time work.
1.-THE sabotage Of time by the idle
under pay" says DR.. Work, land
Of property intrusted to them, must
be added to the cost price Of any
product" And the price Is paid by
the consumers. And the consumers
In most instances are themselves
wage earners who work steadily
through the year to earn q living. A
large percentage of the striking
mine workers are not needed In the
coal mining industry on any terms.
There are industries where this sur
plus labor that now will neither
mine coal nor let anybody else do
so might be employed at good wages
the year around. Thus the rest 0f
the miners might have steady EN-.
ployment mining coal
It is impossible to see why the
people and the industries of this
country should pay for coal prices
sufficient to keep miners In idleness
half the year and give q profit to the
owners of thousands of producing
mines for whose product under prop
erly arranged economic conditions
there would be no sale In competition
with mines where production costs
are less. Even this Is by no means
the whole story. Coal mining can be
done largely by machinery at only a
fraction of the cost Of hand labor
The miners union forbids the use Of
such machinery.
Here Is far-reaching sabotage that
makes coal dear and hard to get. No
