 Placing the clubs in Aprfl as they will finish in October is the most hazardous sport in the world. Tn picking the Derby winner in January. one has only to place his first three horses while here one must go down the line. However, 1t is a cinch that all the entries will start.
 Pirates Led
 The Pirates led most of the way last year, inability to beat the Giants, except occasionally, ultimately cost ing them the flag by four games. Had all other games resulted as they did and had Pittsburg been able to overcome the New York gang nine times in 22 attempts, the National pennant would float this year al Forbes field.
 In placing PIttsburg first I am counting on the return of Walter Schmidt and probably Dave Robert son. It does not seem possible that the Californian will really quit base ball in the face of his teams chances for the emoluments that go with yic- tory.
 McGraw has only two places on his team that can be improved, but one of them Is the all important slab. Not one of the Giant regulars worked 20 complete games last season and if opinion can be formed by the man. ner in which the selections have been made this spring. there are no sen sations among the recruits to take the places of the fading veterans. Art Nehf, of course, may be depended on and there we stop. All else Is a gamble. Douglas will pitch some un- beatable games and so will Barnes but neither of these vets are going to be in there every fourth day, by any means. and Tony is simply hanging on. Virgil Barnes. Pat Shea and Billy Ryan will all help some, but I car not see them winning a pennant from the Cards and Pirates.
 Had Rest Pitchers
 Pittsburg had the best pitchers ir the league last year and they are bet ter this spring than they have been There is far more class to John Nor rison, Glazner, Yellowhorse and Blake than there is to the Giant youngsters Then there are Adams (37 years ole and still young). Cooper. Hamilton and Carlson. These alone can more than stand/off the Giants first foul The Giants infield Is wonderful but there is little to choose in the first three places when compared witt Pittsburg, and on third the Bucca. neers are not weak, though it fl readily admitted that Groh far exceli any one whom Gibson may place or that corner.

WHY THE STRIKE?

The coal strike is over, at least
a temporary settlement has been
made, expiring under contract April
1, 1923. The question, now. in the
minds of ALL is, why is the striker"
What were the issues involved, and
what has been accomplished?
In this strike the public suffered
and must suffer yet more and that
same public that most bear the bur-
den is ignorant of what it was all
about, but before the controversy is
settled permanently, this buying pub
lie must inform itself and see where
in it's rights have been trampled up
on.
The public cannot obtain relief
through any character of legislation.
The public must let the warning fac
tions know that it will not bear the
burden any longer and when interest
is sufficiently aroused the party at
fault will soon fall into line to reas-
enable demands and agree to reason
able terms. An aroused public spir-
it is more powerful than all laws that
can be enacted to correct an evil.
Laws are only enforced when the
public demands enforcement. There
are in our statutes abundant legal
machinery without the creation of
another useless board or commission.
Something must be done to inform
the public. Therefore, an analysis
of the situation may help.
The miners wage is high, and be-
ing high has attracted to the indus
try more men than are needed. The
operator. because of his contract
with the miners union, cannot dis
charge his surplus men, but he can
lay off all his men by shutting down
his mine for a day or so, using the
entire force when he runs. AS a re-
suit we hear the miner say his must
not be lowered. because he gets to
work only half time. and il takes all
he makes to feed his family.
The operators expense for upkeep
Of property continues on idle days as
on busy days, and and this expense,
with the general overhead. is passed
to the cost of production. Thus the
public pays for this unbusiness-like
procedure.
The charge has been made that the
operators and the men were in an
agreement and each understood the
,ther and the strike was merely
blind to keep the wages up and re-
rive the falling price Of coal In this
he public has been sadly misinform-
ID. The truth is that there is a woe

,loyefs and employees in unionized
,oal fields. A work-together. pull-to-
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-09-05

gether policy between operator and
miner would lessen the cost of pro-
duction; the public would derive the
benefit and neither mine owner nor
miner would suffer
The operator, wanting a stable
market and fair price for his COAL
had hoped that there would be a re-
duction in wages that would lower
the cost to the public. The operator
knows his product must be used and
he knows that if the price is too
high he will have no sales and stag
nant market will bring the price be-
low the cost of production. Such slo-
gans as the one in Maine-"Cut a
cord of wood and cut out coal'-
arouses his fears. The increasing
consumption of oil in transportation
and in industries; the installation of
hydro-electric plants, and the pres
ence of foreign Goals, all occasfoned
by the high price of his product,
warns him that so long as coal is
high the consumption is sure TO be
on the decrease. The public in dis
tress, not the opertaor, made the
high prices that prevailed during the
strike.
This is fight of the public, and
the operator, the miner and the poll
tician should be made to understand
that a stable market must prevail
The public, when it determines to
have this stable market, can compel
the operator and the miner to get to-
gether and sop their fighting That
is what each desires to do, but they
must be forced to see the public de-
mand for industrial peace.
In view of the fact that the miners
are returning to work at the same
scale of wages, but with a tempo
rary contract, expiring next April, we
all at first blush and say nothing was
accomplished by either side. That
statement is correct, except that both
sides lost in the conflict. The pub

WHAT iF UTILITY SERVICES
WERE CUT OEE SOME DAY

This is a rather wild flight of i'm
agination, but Just suppose all util-
ity service was suddenly cut of.
The alarm clock not being a pub
lie utility, would summon us from
our dreams at the usual time. Room
rather dark. We'd reach for the
electric lamp. We'd get our first
shock-not from the lamp, but to dis
cover that it was not functioning.
Then, no eggs, no coffee, no toast,
no nothing-gas range not working.
So we decide to give the power and
gas companies piece of our over
wrought mind-only to discover that
the telephone is on a sympathetic
strike.
By the time a fire has been kindled
Qf We chance to have a coal stove)
and by the time the coffee has con-
sumed 25 minutes of our fast-fieeting
time in coming to a boil, during
which our toast has turned to a Gin
der, it is past time to start for work
or business. We hurry to catch the
next car-which is still in the barn,
IL we happen to live in the city.
We start OFF afoot, framing an ex-
cuse for being late, between mutter-
ings about everything. Meantime
we're speculating on what'd happen
If the house caught fire-no tele-
phone to summon the fire depart
ment. What if the baby got sick
no telephone to call the doctor.

BY this time we have breathlessly
arrived at our destination.

you were mentally deprived of, mean

their real value, is low, isn't it?

Some kindly word or goodly act
Long buried out of sight.

ASKS CITY FOR DAMAGES
y. EspinaIdo Ross Says She Was In
jured While Crossing Tracks.

A letter was read to the city COM
mission this morning in which N. Es-
pinaldo Ross asserted that she had
stepped upon some rotten planking at
the crossing of the Santa Fe tracks
on Tenth avenue, that she had fallen
down and fractured her left elbow as
a result of the condition of the plank
ing. and that she wished compensa-
ton for her injuries.
The letter has been under consider
alton by Street Commissioner w. S
Hancock for the past several weeks
the accident occurred on February %.
Commissioner Hancock reported
that the accident occurred on city
property but that for many years the
Santa Fe has been keeping up the
crossing in question. A special sur
vey was made by the Santa Fe engi-
neers and the city engineer to deter
mine just whose property was the
scene of the accident.
The commission referred the letter
and the claim for damages to the
commissioner Of streets and the city
attorney.
