has not been a conflict between min
ers and operators somewhere in the
coal industry, local, regional or ma
tional in size, that might be consid-
cred a strike. The most important of
these were III the bituminous Industry
in 1894 and 1897, in the aRfhracite
fields in 1900 and 1923. in the bit
luminous mines in 1919 and in both
the bituminous and anthracite fields
in the present year. The most recent
controversy is illustrative Of the diff
ference Of opinion as to what cons
~stitutes a strike. The miners. contend
that they did not strike on April l.
but simply declined to work after
their wage and working agreement
had expired on March 81 until a new
contract had beer negotiated. Tech
nicallN speaking they were right in
this contention. In the popular
mind. however. this upheaval in the
coal industry has been considered a
strike: =.

RAIL WAGES AND LIVING COSTS.

Much has been made by the railroad strikers
charge that the Railroad Labor Board has bean
'basing the rates Of pay upon a minimum rate Of 20
cents an hour, $l84 a day or $563 a year" 1t is a
striking argurnsut which pictures an American
workingrnan apd his family seated at a table and
asks, Can these live on $500 a year."
A striking argument, but is it a fair one? No,
and for several reasons. The Labor Board did not
base rates of pay upon that 20 cent rate: That rate
applies only to section men, the lowest paid form of
railroad labor, and to section rnenain only-a very
small section Of the country. Section men under
the recent decisions of the board get from % to IS
cents an hour and the fact that the average rate is
3d. cents shows how few would come under the 23-
cent rate. Those few are on a small number Of d.
visions Of some southern and southwestern roads in
places where costs of living IS low and where the
n4es1 get, in many instances, free living quarters.
Furthermore, these men in. 1915 got but Is cents an
hour and in 1917 but 1913. Or, take it from the
angle of what the wages will buy and the figures are
the Labor Boards) the purchasing power of that
% cents per hour is 44.5 per cent greater than the
purchasing power of the 1915 wages.
And this last considerations holds true of the
wages of all others affected by the boards recent de-
cision.s Living costs are higher than in 1915, but
wages have out-stripped living costs. The station
airy engineer can buy 20 per cent more than he could
in 1915, boiler room water tenders 25sper cent more.
These instances might be multiplied, but let us get
back to our starting point. The Labor Board never
did base rates. of pay upon a minimum 81 20 cents ain
hour. 1t fixed that rate for one small group of la
Dor in one section of the country and it did it after
considering local living conditions and the pay Of
similar labor i'll other industries.-The Nations

CAN YOUR CHILD SEE?

Within a few weeks several hundred little chill
dren in Grand Forks, and hundreds of thousands
throughout the country will enter the public schools
tor the first time as regular students. Some of these
will enter upon a course which will continue until
they have arrived at manhood and wornanhood,
through four years or more of college work. Others
will drop out when they have completed a high
school course. The great majority will not enter
high school at all, but will quit school" by the time
the grade course is completed. In any case, these
years will mean much to these future, citizens.
School work is intensive, and is becoming more SO.
10 lag behind is to be placed under a serious handi-
cap, and it is important that there shall be in the
way of the 'child no obstacle, mental or physical,
which need not be there.
Can your child see?
Ofcourse> cases Of total blindness are detected
before school age is reached. but it is quite possible
for a child to have seriously defective vision with
out the fact being known to its parents, playmates
or others who come in contact with it. The child
may have very defective vision and vet be able to
see we'll enough to run and play, to distinguish OBJ
Jects. and to engage in the ordinary activities Of
childhood. LIN that case the child does not know
that he is partly blind, his condition seems quite
natural and proper to him, and he has no knowledge
81 any other condition. Children in this condition
have gone through much or all of a school course
without the fact becoming known The defect may
make close reading exceedingly difficult, and great
effort is needed to do that which other children do
easily. The reading of words on a blackboard may
be impossible, yet the difficult child. not knowing
what the trouble is, will not maks hi! difficulty
known, and will pick up as best he can information
which others see and understand readily.
There are innumerable possibilities of this kind.
Fortunately, the schools Of today are paying more
attention to these things than formerly, and cases
Of defective vision are more apt to be detected. But
it is important that parents understand the. posi-
bilities and interest themselves in seeing that their
children Start out without having to encounter need
less hardships. The child has a right to a fair
chance.

OIL FOR FUEL.

The use of oil for fuel is no new thing, as oil
has been used for this purpose successfully and eco
inomically for many years. Many modern ships are
designed for the use of no other fuel, and fuel oil is
used in many large manufacturing plants. The use
iof oil in small plants, and for domestic purposes,
however. has not become general, as no method of
burning it has yet been devised which will make oil
as economical a fuel, under ordinary conditions, as
coal. -
The coal strike has resulted in a shortage Of
fuel, which is already felt, and which will be felt
more severely with the advance Of cold weather.
The problem for the country is not that Of getting
the best and cheapest fuel, but of getting fuel of
some sort, at some price, to last over winter.
The federal bureau of mines has been expert
i%1nenting with a use of oil which has not yet been
Epracticed on any large scale, namely, the mixing of
coal dust with fuel oil, and burning the combination.
During one of, Our recent fuel shortages one
imam kept his house warm for some time by burning
kerosene, and the method which he adopted was
rather interesting. He kept hisloil in a convenient
receptacle containing several gallons. and into this
The dropped several bricks. Someof these saturated
bricks he placed in his stove. setting fire to the oil.
AS the bricks became heated the oil was driven to
the surface in the form Of gas, and this burned fierce
1y as long as the supply in the bricks lasted. When
the oil was exhausted the bricks were removed and
placed to soak again, fresh bricks being put in their
place.
The government bureaus experiments differ in
that low grade fuel oil is used in place of kerosene,
and instead of bricks there is used a medium for
saturation which is itself combustible. The bureau
reports that the plan has proven feasible, and it is
being used in a number Of furnaces The method is
merely to pour oil over the coal dust and do the mix
ing with a shovel. The plan is not likely to be used
perfnanently, as the FIRE produced is very smoky,
sssswfich is a decided objection where the burning is
done il a home plant: Where cheap fuel oil is ac-
Ncessible the cost is said to be not great.
II is not suggested that the fuel problem may
abe solved by the general use Of oil in this fashion.
TN4stfSs m III can fA 1fced on a considerable scale IN 1O-
ealities where the conditions favor tia correspond
inxE quantity aof coal will be released for use else
where, and very material addition may thus be
made to the total supplyeof fuel.

There is every reason to believe that the man
ayers of the Nonpartisan league campaign will place
in the field candidates for the state offices for which
independent Republicans were nominated at the prl-
mary election. The league managers know better
than to expect the election of these candidates. They
have no expectation of defeating Governor Nestos
or the other state candidates who were nominated
with him, pledged to the sound policies to which he
is committed.
The entire hope of the leagners is conferred on
the election of Mr.. Frazier to the senate. They
would have preferred to regain control of the state
administration, and if there had been the remotest
chance that they could do SO they would have been
willing to let the senatorship slide. If any trade
would have contributed to that result, they would
have been willing to make that trade. Recovery of
state control being out of the question, the leaguers
made the most of a situation which neither they nor
the independents created, and in which the nomina-
ton of a league candidate for senator was possible
i'm a campaign in which the league state ticket suf-
lfered signal defeat.
MI. Frazier having been nominated, the league
leaders want him elected. Again they would be
willing to trade, if they had anybody to trade with.
They have, for instance, at all times denounced Gov
lernor Nestos as a man unfit to be governor of the
Estate. Yet there has never been a moment when
they would not have accepted Nestos if he were
willing to respond by supporting Frazier. For
many weeks there has been a standing invitation of
this kind to the Independents.
The invitation not having been accepted, and
the independents having displayed notethe slightest
intention Of supporting Frazier, the leaguers now
hope to strengthen razier'sycampa by putting a
fullstate ticket in the field behind him.
AT this time the league leaders have just one
hope-the election of Frazier. That they feel,
would restore in some measure the prestige which
they have lost, and would convince the world that
there is still life IN the old carcass OF radicalism in
North Dakota. Conversely, the thing that these
people fear most at this time, the thing which would
most injure the movement in which, they are en-
gagged, and-which necessarily iollows-the thing
that is imperative if North Dakota is to complete it's
political and economic rehabilitation, is the election
of O'Connor to the senate. ~

PREACHERS GO TO SCHOOL.

The Herald publishes the text OF resolutions
adopted by the group OF ministers and their wives
who were in attendance at the sessions of the sum-
mer school conducted at Wesley college for several
weeks this summer, The resolutions speak for
themselves as to the estimate which is placed on the
work done at the school by those, whose service is
performed chiefly through the medium Of church
activity. Those who have participated in thiswork
have a high opinion of it's value. and of the impor-
lance of the educational ideal of which it is one ex.
preston.
The work done at the summer school is a con.
~tinuation Of the work carried Oh throughout the year
at Wesley college in conjunction with the Univer-
.sity Of North Dakota, and 1t is based on the same
principle which actuates the general work of the
year, namely, the coordination of all useful educar
.tional activities in the several fields so as to bring
that which is within the individual into contact at
every point with that which is around hm, to the
end that there may be a symmetrical development.
The theory upon which is based the utilization
of church and state schools as exempli6ed here-is
that the physical, intellectual and spiritual ele-
ments of character should be developed, each BY its
appropriate. agency, and that progress in all these
lines should be directed to a common purpose. The
church school takes care Of those features which
are distinctively within the field of church influence,
and at the same time the individual is provided with
opportunity TO avail himself Of all the facilities Of the
state institution for the training which may ap-
|propriately be conducted by the state:
In the summer school the same idea is carried
out, and during several weeks Of intensive work the
students have not only been brought into contact
with eminent instructors in the field Of religious
work, but they have listened to lectures by special
lists III various branches of secular knowledge and
have learned of the latest and most important con-
|tributions 81 science TO the understanding Of human
life and the problems of the universe.
The ministers in attendance at these sessions
have testified to their high appreciation Of the op-
|porturfities afforded them. and of their value to them
in their chosen profession. Their own experience
