HERE seems to be little doubt at this time
that the coal strike scheduled for April /
WIZ actually take place. The public deplores, but
IS unable to hinder, and the effect OF a strike, IL
prolonged beyond a certain period, will be a direct
hold up Of complete return to normal Industrial
progression until5a settlement is reached in some
way.
The hard part OF 1t all is that there is nothing
70 be gained in the end by a strike. In the end the
loss more than over balances the gain. John L.
lewis president Of the United Mine Workers, states
that 100000 miners will be idle when the strike
q called. It takes little thought to realize what
eaect this Will have upon business generally in
mining communities. All of the earnings Of these
miners will be lost to ejaculation during the period
in which they are idle, and 1t may be that hundreds
otthem will be idle for months to come. In Fair
mont where merchants count on pay day as one
Of their. biggest assets this situation will be felt
promptly and keenly.
When the strike continues long enough, IL no
agreement IS reached, the scarcity Of fuel will
afeet factories and public service companies, and
additional hundreds Of workmen will join the idle
forces through no fault OF their own, and a cor
RESPONDING sum equal to their wages will be out of
circulation. When orders cannot be filled and a
scarcity of production forces prices up, business
and the general public will get the final impact.

suffer and the operators will find their regular, ex-
perienced, dependable labor force scattering to the
four winds, so that when things are finally settled
hundreds OF the best of their men will never again
be obtainable, having entered other employment
where conditions are more certain and attended by
more agreeable surroundings.
The public feels exusperated at both sides as it
watches the approach of a miserable and useless
condition which IT is helpless to avert. The people
Want peace. They not only want peace between
nations, but they want Industrial aud economic
peace Just as much; common understanding and
mutual regard for the rights OF the other fellow
worked out very satisfactorily at Washington in
9 world conference recently; the same would hold
good in industry every time. The public longs for
III day when all labor strikes will be settled over a
conference table before they come ipto being. May,
this strike, IL it comes to pass, be the last of its
Kind this country will witness.
