assistant are direct recognitions of his
ability as u prosecutor. He has always
been for prohibition, voted that ticket
every time he had a chance to so tote,
He has advocated, supported. and voted

No man can deny that he has made
absolutely good IN Carter county. When
one has served without fear or favor,
prejudice or favoritism, and with abso

coupled with an ambition to be ad-
vanced to the office in which he so dong
served as an assistant, then the voters
of Garter county owe II 10 him 10 be
elected to that office.
When q voter has legal business TO
transact he but naturally goes to the
most competent attorney who is honest
and honorable. Then why should a
county not do likewise? There can be
absolutely nothing said about John l..
Hodge except that he is honest, an up

their maneuvering for regional conferences
which later proved unsuccessful, it is loudly
proclaimed that their turn is coming" What

''The United States Labor Board is butcher

cry Of Lewis in seeking an alliance with the
railway workers, and it proved successful.
Numerous serious effects are certain to re-
suit from the strike, even though it last but a
few days-and this is most unlikely, in the
opinion of leaders of both sides, who are pre-
dieting that unless the government intervenes
to compel q settlement it will be sure to run
on until at least June /.
"A settlement by that time will mean
victory for the miners" said one well informed
observer Of the situation. "Should the strike
last much longer than that the operators will
be the winners"
The first immediate effect of the walk-out
will be to throw 100000 union miners out Of
work, thus, aside from consideration of hard
ship, misery and unrest, greatly reducing not
only their purchasing power but that of at
least 500 900 members of their families depen-
dent upon them for support. In addition, the
union is counting on at least 100000 nom

that it will be about 100000, or a supply
Of from six to seven weeks. Doubt exists that
any non-union production will be attempted,
at least to any great extent. Thus, unless the
anthracite miners and operators reach an
agreement meanwhile, the supply Of hard coal
will be exhausted at the end of seven weeks
Unlike the btuminous situation, both sides
are still meeting in an effort to effect on agree
ment. and they probably win continue to meet

That there will be violence. to some degree
at least, is considered likely, although the
miners have been warned by Lewis in the
strike order sent them on Tuesday that
there must be no violations Of law or dis
turbance Of the public peace" But in past
industrial struggles of large magnitude vio-
lence has nearly always played a part, insti-
gated either by radical elements among the
strikers or by equally lawless elements on the
pay roll of employers. Fear, even on the
part of governmental forces assigned to the
task of preserving order, has led to numerous
unconscionabe incidents in situations which
could have been peaceaby handled by the ex-
ercise of a little courage and discretion. In
some strikes the feeling has been SO bitter that
neither side has hestated to use agents pro-
vocateurs for the actual promotion Of acts Of
violence. although this branch of such sery-
ice, according to volumnous data collected
and published by central labor federations, ap-
pears to have been more highly organized on
behalf of the employing interests concerned
than for the unions. AS to the possibilities of
violence developing in miners strike, the
lesson of Mingo and Logan counties in West
Virginia is still fresh in mind. Indications
that preparations to meet such possibilities are
being made are contained in reports that the

and that at least one Of the large anthracite

ments about its colieries.
Other leading points in connection with
the strike having been considered, with some
indirect effects on Old Pop Public which may
be expected, the question arises as to how tho
strike viii hit him directly how soon and how
hard.
To be sure, such al alternative for possi-
bic outcome as that Of waiting for the shoe to
pinch before asking the government 70 step In

somewhat similar to the action Of the guleleas

accordance with the most approved rules OF
business expediency and economic necessity,
the amiable old chap wilfully horns in and
shoves his money across the table? You can't
surpass that sort of sociability, even though
it be tempered by wall for succor every nov
and then. And you've also got to give OIL
Pop Public credit for another wholesome trais
he certainly is sticker for experience
In this case he is very much in the game
although he does not appear to realize it fully
as yet. Certainly he has not called COP, a.
least not loudly enough for Official Washing
ton to hear it. But he will, if the strike runs
on to any extent, and in that case the calling
may be expected to begin either when coai
shortage becomes apparent or when the price
Of coal starts to mount, in accordance with
the law of supply and demand and an artif-
cial dash or two to add impetus to the mount
ing.
About month or 80 ago the information
was current that there would be at least
120,000,000 tons Of bituminous coal above
ground and available to the consumer by April
l. A little later the United States Geological
Survey came along with a report saying that
from 60,000,00O to 70,0o00OO tons would more
correctly represent the figure. Several days
past Secretary Of Labor Davis, after falling
to persuade the soft coal operators TO meet
the miners In accordance with their still exist
Ing contract, came to New York and recorrect-
ed the figure to from 50,O000o0 to 60,000,O0o
tons. The Survey and the Secretary appear
ing to have the better of the argument, II
would seem that 60,00O,000 tons would be the
best basis for calculation.
According to additional Geological Survey
figures, the normal weekly national consump-
ton Of bituminous is about 100000 toas.
Therefore, 60,00O,00O tons above ground On
April would represent a normal supply fcr
nearly nine weeks. Added to this, the opera
tors claim that non-union production will
amount to at least 3,500,000 tons a week, or
one-haf the normal weekly supply. This,
with some of the railroads, public utilities and
other industries holding large reserve stocks
and with an educational campaign for conser-
walton, should make the supply last at least
four months, the operators and Secretary
Davis believe.
