s LITTLE CHANGE NOTED IN
 STRIKE SITUATION

The railroad and coal strikes have shown the hopeessness of the government in coping with industrial warfare. Frequent confer ences between MT. Harding, members of his cabinet, railroad executives, mine operators and representatives of union labor have had little or no results.
 Apparently nothing can be done except to make suggestions and issue invitations There is no way to force men to work when they don't want to and MT. Harding is not the sort of man to resort to extreme measures which might lead to the verge of civil war.
 David Lawrence, one of the best informed of the Washington correspondents, says the federal government will neither take over the railroads and operate them, as was done dur ing the World war, nor seize the coal mines. It will merely exercise regulatory powers. This means that both strikes will drag along until settlement is reached by the employ CTS and their workmen.
 The most unfortunate feature of industrial disputes is that when they on large scale the whole country suffers and millions of in- nocent bystanders have to pay the price. We boast of our civilization, but we still have long way to go before we reach the point where the rights of every citizen are guar anteed in practice as well as in theory.

MANS MATERIAL PROGRESS

From "The Revolt Against Civilization" by
 Lothrop Stoddard, author of "The Rising
 Tide of Color,o published by Charles scrib-
 ner's Sons.
 In fact, within the past century we have broken the age-old tempo of~materia progress and have leaped clear over into self made world. Down to trifle over a century ago mans material progress had been gradual "a very gradual-evolution. His tools, though more numerous, were mainly elaborations of those discovered by his remote ancestors. 4 few instruments like the printing press and the mariners compass were about the only notable innovations. Mans control over natural re- surces had likewise not greatly expanded. With the exception of gunpowder, he had tapped no new sources of material energy since very an- cient times. His chief source of power was muscle animal and human (do we not still reckon in horsepower? ?, and for the rest, he filled his sails with the breeze and turned clumsy waterwheels by using brooks and streams. But the ancients had done all these things. As for methods of communication, they had, if anything, deteriorated. In the year 1900, there was no system of highways which .equalled the Roman roads, no posting service as quick as Caesars, no method of sig mailing which could compare with the senla- phore "telegraphy' of the Persians and prob- ably no ship which could not have been over- hauled by Phoenician galley in moderate sea.
 Suddenly, astoundingly, all was changed. The hidden forces of nature yielded themselves wholesave, as though at the wave of nagi- clans wand. Steam, electricity, petrol, and whole series of mysterious "rays' and waves gave man power of which he had-not even dreamed. These powers were promptly har- messed to innumerabe machines which soon transformed every phase of human existence. Production and transportation were alike revo- utionized, distance was well-night abolished, and the very planet shrunk to the measure of human hands. In other words, man suddenly entered new material world, differing not merely in degree but in kind from that of his grandfathers.

TWO COAL STATES NOT AFFECTED BY STRIKE

Alabama and Virginia are the only coal producing states in the union where there is no strike. Saturday the Associated Press itemised the number of miners employed be- fore the strike and those now idle in the 23 states where coal is mined.
 According to this compilation, there are 795,000 miners in the country and 1s5,000 of them are at work. There are approximately 61o,00o on strike. Alabama is credited with so,0o0 miners and Virginia with 12,oOo.
 In some states part of the miners are at work and others idle. Ohio is credited with 50,00o miners and all are on strike. The 9o,000 miners of Illinois, the 3o,o00 of h. diana, the 5000 of Montana, 155,ooo anthra- cite miners of Pennsylvania and 155,oo0 of the 175,000 miners in the Pennsylvania bitu- minous field are on strike. One-third of the Tennessee miners and 5000 in Kentucky are out. Alabamas entire army of miners is at work
 Under circumstances such as these the in- terstate commerce commission should find a way to exercise its emergency powers and send to this states mining field the cars and locomotives that are doing nothing in other states on account of the two strikes.
 It is the simplest and quickest way to check the growing cosl famine and prevent the suf- fering that is threatened.

EXTRA GAME IN ANDERSON

President Rice of the local club
announced last night that the Elec-
tricians and the Abbeville team
would play here next Wednesday in
order to get the extra game that
must be played off between these
teams so the schedule can be straight
tened up.
The Werner company goes to Abb
beville Monday and Tuesday for two
hard scraps. These two teams are
fighting for the pennant, both being
almost on the same footing in the
percentage column. That game here
will no doubt be one of the hardest
fought battles that Anderson fans
have ever seen. Doc Burriss says get
up with your work (if you have got
a job) and come out to Cater Park
Wednesday afternoon to see the fur
fly.-Anderson Tribune.
