mercial activity and manifest itself particularly
in the employment of more men.
Industrial and housing conditions in Rich
mond have been improving steadily for many
months. Manufacturers said the rate reduction
should be an impetus here and elsewhere.
The whole country gradually is getting down
to firm basis after the period of initiation,
pointing lesson to some of the European coun-
tries who are depending upon others, notably the
United States to help them out of their economic
troubles.
If the rate reduction has the effect which
most observers believe it will have, it will dem
onstrate again that this country has the sagacity
and judgment to rely upon economic principles
and facts, rather than upon theories or the char
ity of others, to work out its problems
Too many people in Europe are inclined to
be dependent upon others for solution Of their
postwar problems. If Uncle Sam was benevo.
lent and generous during the war, he now has
modified his policy to the extent of telling the
European countries that they must work out
their own salvation and exert themselves to the
utmost before they can expect assistance from
this quarter.
The freight rate problem was serious one
in this country, but America has resolutely set
out to correct the evil, and believes that the re-
| 1uction will help restore us to normally.

nothing has occurred to arouse the
general public to a degree that would

Public Opinion Important
Public opinion is an extremely i'm
portant factor in a case of this kind.
In the absence of specific lays under
which the administration might pro-
coed to end the strike action can be
taken only when it appears that the
general welfare is jeopardiZed and
when there is an overwhelming public
sentiment to support whatever action
may be taken. There is no federal law
prohibiting strikes or lockouts, none
under which the miners and operators
can be compelled to arbitrate their
differences, and none requiring the ac-
ceptance of terms of settlement pro-
posed by the government or any out
side agency. The state of Kansas has
a law aimed to accomplish these ends,
but it has not been demonstrated a
complete success as a state measure
and, of course, it offers no solution fol

The reduction in freight rates. averaging
about 10 per cent, and effective in all sections Of
the country, will result in general stimulus to
business, say observers of the nations commerce.
Business has felt for many months that no

The effect of the decision probably will be

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 27-The
coal strike is now entering upon its
eighth week and at the time this is
written it has caused as yet barely
a ripple upon the surface of general af-
fairs. Everybody was more or less eX-
cited when the strike was called and
it was expected that something would
happen" shortly after the miners ceas-
ed work on April l. To date, however,
that indefinite something" is still in
allegiance.
There are three reasons for this ex-
traordinary situation following a ma
tionwide tie-up of one of the great
basic industries. In the first place, the
strike came at season of the year
when normally the demand for coal is
at its lowest ebb and at time when
the industrial demand was below nor
NAL Secondly, there were large re-
serve supplies of coal above ground
when the strike was called and the non
union production added to these re-
serves has ben sufficient to prevent a
fuel shortage as yet. Finally, the min
ers have so conducted the strike that
| there has been comparatively little dis
order and few clashes have occurred
| between them and their sympathizers
! and the duly constituted authorities
| Far different conditions prevailed at
! the time of the 1919 strike Then win
| ter was at hand, the demand for coal
was above normal there was no re-
serve stock on hand, and neither min
ers nor operators were in such a state
of mind that they could or would
avoid clashes that threatened law and
order. Prices of coal to the consumer
began Immediately to advance, and in
no time at all the public and the fed
eral powers were aroused to a point
where government Intervention was in
evitable.
! When the present strike was called
/ it was announced that the government
would not interfere until it was evident
that the public was being pinched by {
fuel Shortage or some other untowarC
developments had taken place. OBJ
viously that time has not yet arrived
and there are no indications of it's ar
rival in the immediate future. Indeed
it may be said that the conditions al
; tending the strike thus far have beef
such as to make it a waste of tim
to attempt to bring about a setlemen
of the controversy. Neither the miner
nor the operators have suffered stuff

INSPECTION OF RYE,
WHEAT BY GROWERS
WILL BEGIN MAY 81
(By Associated Pressl


LAFAYETTE, Ind. May 27.-The
field inspection Of wheat and rye for
certification by the Indiana Corn
Growers association will begin in
southern Indiana by May 81, according
to w. A. Ostrander, of Purdue Uni
versity, chairman of the certified
seed, field must not show more than
one half of one per cent. of other va
rieties and diseases.
From the applications that arc
coming in, this work is growing rap
idly and this year there should be
enough seed to supply the demand"
Mr.. Ostrander said, Last year, many
farmers were disappointed when they
could not get seed from growers who
had certified products" he added, cas-
their seed was snapped up quickly.
By supplying seed that is SO IL or bet
ter and free from weeds and diseases,
the men growing certified seed are do
ing much to raise the Indiana wheat
crop to a higher level, because pure
bred wheat the same as other crops
produces bigger yields of a higher
quality than mixtures"
Farmers desiring their fields in
spected should get in touch with the
agricultural agent in his county or
write to the Indiana Corn Growers
association at Lafayette, 1t was said.
