LABOR ON THE BASIC ES-
SENTTATS

A labor trouble like the coal
strike, or such a possible event as
a railroad strike, brings up the
question of the relation to the
community of the people who
work on the basic essentials of
life.
There are some kinds of service
which the public demands be con-
tinuous and uninterrupted. If the
soldiers in the army or the nurs-
es in a hospital went on strike,
the public would feel that its
rights had been outraged, and it
would secure a different set of
people to do those kinds of work.
There are a few basic essentials
like coal mining and railroading
that are so essential to the health,
safety and existence of the com
munity that these services should
be continuous. Those who wish
to reserve the right to strike
ought to be in some employment
in which they could do the same
without endangering the safety of
the community. The public will
demand that this principle be rec
ognized in these pending difficult
ties

Owe get what we want when we

American, is made possible by the

The American always gets what
he wants, but he IS far from realiZ-

how huge a job it is that the mer-
chant has on his hands.

Somewhere outside of the store

wants it then, it has to be re-
minded that it wants it, and then,
like as not, it is ready to go into

spot and on the minute.
There are experts, trained with
infinite pains and drawing high
salaries, whose office it is so to
display the goods that the people
simply can't help knowing it wants
