sured supply of workmen. Individ-
ual and local disputes are, adjusted
by union committees with employ
ers and strikes in violation of the
agreement are termed "illegal" by
the union, the participants forfeit
ing union benefits and finding their
places filled by other union men.
This is collective bargaining worked
out in detail.
This system is in effect on the
largest scale in the coal industry.
Unionism began there with local or
CARNATIONS which were loosely fed
Grated in state unions. Strikes in
districts were frequent, causing
much loss to operators, but almost
invariably failed, for the aggregate
productive capacity of the industry
far exceeded demand and when a
strike cut off supply from one dis
trict consumers had no difficulty in
obtaining coal from another district.
Attempted boycotts were futile.
1t is not to be endured that the
American peoples supply Of coal
shall be cut off by a strike as a
means of settling a question of con-
stitutional right, yet that is exactly
the prospect, for mine owners have
been enjoined from practicing the
check-off system by which the closed
shop is maintained. If the opera
tors obey the court injunction by
ceasing to check off union dues,
they violate one Of the terms of
their contract with labor, and the
coal miners union officials MAIN
tain that the agreement in full will
be invalidated and threaten to
strike. In order to keep their mines
in operation the mine owners must
disobey the injunction of the courts.
( This controversy will clarity pub
lie opinion on the rights involved
in the choice between the open and
closed shop-closed either by the
union Or against non-union men or
by the employer against union men.
Few dispute the right of man
to be a member of a union or
maintain the right of an employer
to discharge him because of that
fact. Union leaders go to the other
extreme by insisting that no nom
union man shall work where union
men are employed and by attempt
ing to unionize all industries which
do not deal with unions. Independ-
ent opinion holds generally that
every workman shall have equal OPP
portunity to work where he pleases
and can obtain employment whether
or not he is member of a union.
Views relative to the rights of
American workmen have been be-
logged by recent economic contro-
versy.

THE CLOSED
SHOP INJUNCTION

The crisis which threatens the
country with a general strike OF
coal miners arises from strict appli-
cation of the antitrust law to the
closed-shop system. It is a ques-
ton that will not down. Workmen
strike aaginst the employment OF
any man who refuses to join the
union. Their success results in
agreement between union and en-
ployer that the latter shall employ
union men only. From this it is but
a step to deduction of union dues
from mems wages by employers,
and their payment in bulk to the
union treasurer. The coal miners
call this the check-off system. 1t
prevents a workman from becoming
delinquent with the union and thus
counting expulsion. 1t practically
closes the door against non-union
men.
In return the union gives employ
ers certain benefits. It binds its
members to work for a definite Pc
riod at definite wage, thus offering
security against strikes and an as

goes even further and voices dis
tinct appreciation of the campaign
being carried on by Sheriff Georg'
w. Brady calculated to rid Hum
boidt county of the nefarious boot
logger. Mr.. Woodburn's letter is Al
follows:
The Editor, The Silver State,
Winnemucca, Nevada. Dear Sir:
Your editorial, relative to my
speech on Prohibition, has been
called to my attention.
The defense of Sheriff Brady
of your County is entirely justi-
fed. l would be false to myself
if l did not, at the first oppor-
tunity, correct any impression
that may be abroad through any
thing l said at the Lions Club,
that Mr.. Brady, the Sheriff of
your County, was anything but
fearless, conscientious and indus
trious officer in the enforcement
of prohibition.
Whenever l have had occasion
to comment upon the lack of en-
forcement of the Prohibition law
in this state, l have rarely failed
to mention that Sheriff Brady has
been conspicuous in his assistance
to Federal Prohibition officials.
I might add that Sheriff Brady
is held in highest esteem by the
officials connected with the office
of the Federal Director of Pro-
hibition of this State. l trust /
have done him no injustice, as /
had it in mind to commend Sher-
if Brady for his energetic and
wholehearted cooperation with
the Federal Prohibition enforce
ment officers.
I am very glad of your edi-
torial, as il affords me an oppor-
tunity to correct any false inn
preston that may have resulted
from anything l may have said.
I will appreciate it if you will
give this letter whatever publicity
you believe it deserves.
Very truly yours,
WIN. WOODBURY.,
United States Attorney.
It naturally follows that Mr.
Brady and those associated witt
him, including the officials of thi
city, are deeply appreciative of tn,
distinct compliment rendered by tn,
astute federal district attorney, will
whom they have very earnestly co
operated in every manner possibl,
that would tend to minimize tn,
commission of crime in this city ant
county.
Winnemucca and Humboldt coun
ty are better for having the excel
lent officials that conduct the mu
inequalities, just as Nevada is bette
for having so excellent and uprigh
an official as Mr.. Woodburn il
charge of an important branch o.
federal law enforcement machinery
Mr.. WOODBURY., Democrat, has mad,
splendid record as United State
attorney for the district of Nevada
It is admitted in Republican circles
that his instance stands out in re
freshing contradistinction to tn,
great army of Wilson appointment,
in Nevada and elsewhere, and i.
contumely must be heaped through
political activities, he at least SHOULD
be spared.

composition and food value, 1t may be
asserted from the results of Depart
ment of Agriculture experiments that
grits and meal have the same nutri-
tional value as rice, and that corn -four
and soft winter wheat flour have es-
sentially equal food value. Grits can
therefore replace rice in the diet, and
corn flour replace portion of the
wheat flour, without decreasing the
value of the food one iota. In this
country, broken rice has often been
as much as 33 per cent more expensive
than corn grits; at present wheat flour
(clear grade) costs about twice as
much az corn flour. Corn -four and
corn grits are the cheapest cereal foods
produced in this country and are avail
able not only for home consumption,
but for export.
"There is an encouraging feature In
the probable effect of feeding corn
grits to so many children of Europe.
Due to the unfortunate condition OF
certain sections of Europe there has
been a very large and unusual demand
for corn grits. Through the activities
of the American relief administration
about half million children in Poland,
100000 In Austria, $4,000 in Hungary,
and now 100000 in Russia, are being
fed at least one meal day containing
either corn grits or rice as the cereal
portion Of the diet. Thus 1t may be
seen that tremendous propaganda for
corn grits is being carried on by the
American relief administration in
feeding almost four million children.
This should mean the elimination to o
large extent of that prejudice against
corn which has in the past character
lied portion of the population of Eu-
rope"

MOST OF IT FED To ANIMALS
Trade Commissioner Of Department OF
Commerce Says Corn Furnishes
Cheapest Cereal Food Pro-
duced in This Country.

Washington.-Th corn crop of the
United States would supply all the So
called cereal calories for over 400
100000 people, according to Dr. j. A.
LeClerc trade commissioner of the De
partment of Commerce.
The 20,000,000 starving or under
neurished Russians could be supplied
with all the cereal part Of their diet
needed from per cent of Americas
annual corn crop, is the opinion OF
Doctor LeClerc.
1.-The corn crop of the United States
during the last ten years has averaged
over two and three-quarter billion
bushels" says Doctor LeClerc. "Fully
90 per cent of this is fed directly to
animals. OF the amount consumed by
hogs and cattle, no more than 10 per
cent of the food value is returned in
the form of animal food for human
consumption. There certainly can be
no greater economic problem than to
prevent a good human food from being
unnecessarily consumed by animals.
Wheat and Corn as Human Food.
During the prewar years 1909-13
over so per cent of the wheat crop OF
the United States, or approximately
470000,000 bushels, were used In
bread. OF corn, however, only 3 per
cent of the crop, or approximately 3d.
600 600 bushels, were ground into meal
or flour suitable for bread purposes. 1t
is thus seen that while this country's
corn crop is over Ahree and one-half
times greater than it's returned wheat
CROP less than One-fifth as much OF
the corn as of the wheat is consumed
directly as food.
Each year the people Of this coun-
Try consume about fifty pounds OF corn
per capita as human food. The
Italians, on the other hand, eat about
so per cent more than we do, or 70
pounds per capita. The Rumanians
and the people of the other corn-grOw-
ing countries, e. g., Hungary, Russia,
Jugo-Slavia, grow considerable quanti-
ties and consume large amounts OK
corn.
