ton. The coming winter was their
ally and helped them enforce their
hard terms. The operators signed.
The miners have ratified. 1t is their
business now to hoist coal Just as fast
as it can be hoisted. The strike ran
for 163 days, and the country is just
that far behind on its hard-coal re-
quirements. Every pound will be
needed if the country is to be safe
from cold and dangerous hardships.
Lewis and the miners have their vic
tory, now let them do their utmost
best to keep the country from the
consequences of the strike by which
they gained their triumph.
The cost of that triumph has been
staggering. For months it will be
felt in industry, and the strike has
checked and held back a returning
prosperity. The miners have lost
billions of work hours and many,
many millions in wages. The opera
tors have had great losses. Short of
coal, with winter at hand, the public
begins now to face its part of the
costs and discomforts and dangers
that always march in the rear of a
coal strike.
The strike is over, but what then
The tragic fact about it all is that we

coal miners on Saturday that the
Reed-Pepper strike settlement was
one of the greatest victories ever won
by labor he spoke the plain truth. No

Reports of increasing violence in all
parts Of the country have probably
prompted Attorney General Daugherty
to ask the Federal Court in Chicago
for a sweeping injunction restraining
heads of the union members and all
others from interfering with the or
derly running of railway trains, from
damaging property and from meddling
with men who wish to work, though
not members of the unions. A tenn
porary restraining order has been
granted. The petition includes 12O
system federation throughout the
United States and the heads of the |
unions are specifically named. "The !
move of the Attorney General" says
the Morning News, surprised the
leaders of the unions, and had the eff
feet of a "bomb she'll" Yet we do
not see why there should be surprise.
Does anyone fancy that the govern
ment is going to sit idly by while this
strike degenerates into various forms
of violence Wilmington has had an
apple out of this bag.
"Uncle Sam is not to be Knocked by
any citizen or any group of citizens.
Unless the government had taken such
steps the outrages would have increas-
ed, and they may increase at any rate.
Agents of the Department of Justice
have discovered plots to dynamite,
burn and destroy by other means rail-
way property and there have been
threats against the presidents of three
railway companies. The government
does not purpose that this strike shall
become a stamping ground for an
archists and murderers.
"The union leaders should keep such
vicious elements in check and at least
the union men should assist in un-
earthing the scoundrels responsible
for such misdeeds. The net conse-
quence of this strike will be a heavy
loss financially all round, and the dear
public will be expected to pay for it
AS this probable loss is becoming
greater and greater the government
has done right in this new move to
protect life and property and to assist
in the orderly transaction of bust
ness" And referring to the Goa
strike, the Morning News asserts:>

Delawareans are considering with
thoughtful study the statement made
by Postmaster General Work that the
government could borrow money on !
practically a per cent, basis to build
postoffices, whereas when it leases the |
department pays a rental sufficient to
permit the lessor to borrow money at
Z per cent. and in some cases as much |
as 10 per cent, shows the Importance
to the Federal government of owning
its postoffice buildings as a good busi-
ness proposition. When the govern
ment owns a postal building it is free
from taxation, "whereas when it leases
building it is indirectly paying taxes
at a rate of about per cent. on the
investment and many times at a very
much higher rate" According to the
report of the Postmaster General
there are at present 1886 postoffices
in leased QUARTERS, and only about l.
200 in buildings owned by the govern
ment.
''In the case of government owner

Work, 81 am confident there are ample
sites and abundant buildings which
could be acquired at reasonable prices,
and they could be erected and equipped
with material purchased in the cities
and towns in which the government
would purchase the property" This
would give some impetus to construc-
tion and employment.
"The argument which is made by
the administration, says The Whining
ton Journal, in support of government
ownership of postal buildings applies
in some aspects of the case with even
greater force to the government own.

"HIGH-SPEED STEEL"

"High-speed steel' for cutting
tools has been well known for years.
and an improved form of this mate
rial has been introduced in Sheffield.
England. 1t is reported that this
steel has four times the cutting DOW
er of any other in use. The com
position is, it appears, still a secret.
but it is said to be the first 'high-
speed steel' that can be hardened in
cold water without danger. 1t can
also be hardened with oil or in a
cold blast. Tools made of it wear
out much less rapidly and require
much less grinding than those made
of the older kinds of steel. They
will also go on working at a high
temperature longer. But the makers
themselves say that this steel does
not by any means mark the final de-
velopment of 'high-speed steel."-
