FIND A BETTER WAY

The settlement of the great coal
strike assures us that the people will
not freeze this winter. For so much
we are thankful. But it does not
contain any assurance that the same
conditions will not prevail a year
hence, with all of their attendant
ills and inconvenience to the nation.
A better way Of settling labor diff
ficulties should be found, and that
agency should be the congress and
the federal government.
The laborer is forced to pay the
same high prices for everything he
uses as are paid by other people. He
therefore is entitled to a wage that
will enable him to live in reasonable
comfort educate his children, and
lay by sufficiency for the time when
his days of usefulness will be over.
The employer is entitled to the
same consideration, as he is required
to live under the same high priced
conditions. He should be assured a
fair profit in his investment.
The great army of customers, who
Outnumber these elements many
times over, are also entitled to con-
sideratiOn-but seldom receive it.
They are the goats in every strike
that occurs, the victims who in the
end pay the penalty without hope of
redress.
There should be no more strikes,
but there should be some method Of
assuring labor a square deal at the
hands of the employing corporations,
for without some such protection the
1oh h hoI nd
ground to atoms.
Arbitration between labor and
capital is hopeless. That has been
proven in the past. Neither side
seems willing to recede from its de-
mands, or to accept a compromise,
knowing that any such arrangement
simply means a short period of re-
newed activity and then a return to
the merry war.
Congress could authorize and the
President could appoint commissions
in the several lines of industry whose
duty it would be to settle all such
controversies with justice to both
sides, and at the same time regulate
the prices of the commodities in
order to protect the consuming public
from profiteering.
The brain Of one man-Judge
Landis-has revolutionized baseball
because the brain is fair and just to
all, and from it's edicts there is no
appeal. And the baseball world has
never been so free from trouble as
it is today
What Judge Lands can do to base
ball other men of ability and fair
ness can do in the coal, railroad,
building and other industries.
The only things required are the
authority and the men.
