Trusting to Famine for
Success

No increased sympathy for the
striking coal miners will be Great.
ed by the tone in which Philip
Murray, the Vice President of
their union, prophesies that with
in six weeks the whole country
will be feeling the full effects of
q fuel famine. This reveals a
little too clearly that the strikers
are depending for success, not
on the reality Of their grievances,
not on the arguments they can
bring to bear on the mine owners
and operators, not on the justice
of their demands, but upon bring
ing to pass a public calamity so
terrible that imagination shrinks
from dwelling on its details.
If the mining of soft coal is not
tresumed before the exhaustion of
the stocks on hand, a nearly COM
plete paralysis of all the funda-
mental indus tries except agri-
Gu lture would follow before many
weeks had passed, and, though
farming could 60 on if the rail-
ways were stopped, most of us
soon would go hungry. And It
is to such a state of affairs that
Mr.. Murray looks forwar d hope
fully!
From the operators come as
sIrances that no coal famine i'm
pends, but their words are not
particularly convincing, and it is
hard to avoid the suspicion that
! hey, too. are depending on the
fears of the general public for
ultimate victory.
Both parties directly concerned
in this momentous struggle put
their own interests above all
others, and. in spite of their pro-
testations of regret for the con-
sequences of a strike, they either
gnore or strive to utilize those
for the attainment
of their own ends. New York

FUNGUS LIVES IN The SOIL

tomatoes in the Middle Atlantic, Gulf
