The Soft Coal Strike Settlement

The chief interest of the public, which is the
third party to every industrial disturbance and
pays the cost of the strife in the agreement
finally attained between some coal operators and
miners, is to wonder how soon another dispute
will stop the mining of coal and bring the coun-
try to the verge of fuel famine.
The results attained at the Cleveland confer
ence could have been reached months ago if the
principals would have shown the spirit of con-
Citation in the early meetings that led to the an
nouncement yesterday that work would be re-

against the idea that worker does
possess some kind or degree of a right
to his job it is unquestionably true that
far-sighted and successful employers
are coming to realize that it is good
business policy to accept and act upon
that idea unless they are imposed upon
by their employees, individually or col
lectively. They regard this as giving
expression to the principle that capital
and labor are partners in industry, and
they know that partners never get
along or succeed unless each is con
siderate of the other. In such a rela-
tionship it should not be necessary for
either partner to be on guard constant
ly against possible invasions of his
rights" One partner can become IN
duly selfish or assertive only at the
expense of the other, and in the long
run at his own expense as well.

had been vital in time Of war when the

their families were part and parcel of

were essential to this unit of the gen.
eral social fabric. They had to have
their daily wage in order that they
might have daily bread. There was no

Matter of Ethics.
Now it may be commended that it is
not wholly a question as to whether it
was fair to these men to deprive them
of their jobs in this ruthless fashion
not merely a matter of ethics. They
were useful. productive members of
society and through no fault of their
own they were made non-producers
overnight. Is it not possible that it
was not for the best interest of or
ganized society to accord them such
/ treatment? Is there not some basis

some provision to tide them over until

AFTER Dinner Trick S

No. 2S1-Blowing the Gard.
A calling card is bent as shown in the
illustration, with two little flaps or

challenged to blow the card over, as it
sets on the table. The harder they
blow, the more the card jumps about,
but it will not turn over.
The trick, however, is possible, as the
performer can demonstrate when called
upon, and the secret of his success will
not be obvious even after it is demon
strated. The trick is to blow sharply on
the table some little distance away from
the card, which should be edgew9ys to

Soldiers and Sailors.

The most important exception from the
general law of freedom is that of soldiers
and sailors. Under the Constitution and
laws men who enlist for the military and
naval service thereby place themselves for
the term of their enlistment under the
control of military superiors They are SUBJ
ject to special military punishment for
military offenses; they go where they are
sent: they obey orders or they suffer. They
may be sentenced for considerable terms
to military penitentiary. Everybody rec
ognizes the necessity for military discipline
for keeping the army together and defend
ing the country. The police force in most
cities has semi-military organization. and

By the immigration laws certain persons
from abroad are not allowed to pass into

deported after admission. White slavers
are punished for travel under forbidden
conditions.
In addition, large numbers of persons are

Restrictions on Laborers.

The work of the world still has to be
done by human hands. Steam, electricity
and motors may do the lifting and hauling
and wonderful automatic machines may
perform a lot of processes that used to
require the labor of many separate per-
vised by human intellect. There is no
reason to suppose that mankind will ever
get rid of tasks which require the appli-
cation Of human muscles as we'll as of hu-
man brains.
Now it has been found convenient by
many nations to make a part Of the popu-
lation muscle workers subject to the direc-
ton and decisions of brain workers. That
is the origin of slavery; the master could
lie under an awning on the boat and issue
orders to slave labor to carry jars from
the waters of the Nile to irrigate his gar
den. The moment you abolish slavery you
choose ones tasks
Still. for many millions of boys and girls
who arrive at the labor age, that. choice
is really on-existent. The ordinary boy in
a mining town goes into the mines, and
the ordinary girl in mill town goes into
the mills because that is the easy and
obvious thing to do.

sonal liberty have been extended to civil
ians, both near the scene of hostilities
and thousands of miles away at their own
homes. Special espionage and sedition acts
during the world war were recognized as a
disagreeable necessity.
The merchant sailor was also subject to
severe discipline, without adequate pro-
lection against personal violence, until
the Furuseth or La Toilette act was passed
in 1915. Here again there must be some
power to enforce orders or else the ship
will never arrive az port. The literature
of the sea is full of instances of slave
driving mates and brutal captains; but
since the use of The lash was abolished the
legal punishment for a sailor who refuses
duty is to put him IN irons on bread and
water till port is reached where his case
can be legally examined. Sea service, how
ever. offers the most striking example of
requiring specific performance of a labor
contract, though even there. the coercion
extends no further than TO treat the man
a prisoner for the time being. Whip
ping or any other form of bodily torture
is no longer legal upon sailors.
