Labor Disputes Decreasing
Like other countries throughout the
world, we are still suffering from the
effects OF labor disputes. although the
actual number Of strikes seems TO be
decreasing. In March there were only
eight lock-outs in this presidency, TAX
ing, in the aggregate. 300.s29 working
days Seventy-fve per cent Of the
strikes were settled in favor Of the
employers and the remainder compro-
missed. Trade unionism is in It's in
fancy in this country, and what unions
there are are under the wrong KIND OF
management. the leaders being drawn
in the main from the disappointed pol
itician and lawyer classes.
This question Of the constitution OF
trade unions for Indians received de-
tailed attention from the Industrial
Disputes Committee. which, under the
chairmanship Of Sir Stanley Reed, has
Just issued its report on the subject.
Il is a difficult question. as the native
is invariably illiterate, and the task Of
inculca;ing the get together spirit is
practically hopeless one. There are
h number Of works committees in the
mills and on the railways, but as these
have TO be formed az the initiative Of
the executives, the operatives arc sus-
picious of them and will not collabo-
rate in their activities. The disputes
committee has evolved a system OF pri-
mary education for the workers. and
IT'S employment will help considerably
in solving the problem. The Indian
worker needs educating up to Western
ways. and not until this happens will
the old myth about cheap native la

new ORLEANS, June 2i.-For the
first time in many wears it looks as II
the naval stores industry Of the South
will pay profit this season. This is
an industry that employs about 55 900
men and has a product worth about
$40 900 900 n year Yet. except in peak
price years, II Is usually losing game

the South by which money is advanced

then more money has 20 be advanced
70 take of the crop in the face OF
certain loss 20 keep that loss down as
much as possible.
Pre-war prices OF turpcntine and
roSin were below the cost Of produc-
tion; obviously the prices last year. in
July OF which the deepest part OF the
slump was reached. were below produc-
tion; and prices to-day are below the
cost OF production. The hope Of
profit lies in the expected advance Of
rosin, for turpentine has already taken
its advance, whereas rosin has re-
manned almost stationary.
Note the following figures:
The cost OF production in the 1913
1914 season was $50 a unit; last year
it was SOS to s75 a unit; this year it
will be about S75-ss5.
A unit Is one ffty-gallon barrel OF
turpentine and 3 l-3 barrels OF rosin
weighing 500 pounds each. both prod
ucts being made during one process Of
manufacture.
Net receipts 20 producers in i9i31i
were S40.33 a unit: in l92l-'22 S49.l3.
and this year, on the basis Of MAYS
figures, s63.

On the basis Of S. cent turpentine

thereabouts Of this seasons naval

that the producers will gain most from
the advance.
The reason why turpentine is more
sensitive 70 changing economic eondi-
tions is that II is a product that can
not be stored. whereas rosin Is a prod
uet that can. IL is run into wooden
casks and can be kept an indefinite
period in the open air. Consequently,
large stocks OF rosin have accumulated,
whereas there are no stocks Of turpen-
tine. Stocks Of rosin arc estimated at
something under 100000 barrels.

A. Replacing two level table

"A. Itch or scabies is caused by the
pressure OF larvae or mature speci-

Although the itch was Known to the
Greeks and Romans, the u was
probably not recognized before the
twelfth century. A case was report

Q. Why is the Black Sea said to
be different from all other seas? B.
F. P.
A. The existence of sulphuretted
hydrogen in great quantities below
100 fathoms, the extensive chemical
precipitation Of calcium carbonate
and the stagnant nature Of its deep
waters serve to make the Black sea
unique. The depths of this sea are
l~ifeless. Another popularity is that
there is a layer of water between Is
and so fathoms which IS colder than
the deeper water. This is because
the deep water Is saltier than the
surface water and practically motion
less. In winter time the, surface wa
ter reaches freezing point and in the
spring sinks to. the top Of the saline

Schools all over the country are opening, and
there is the usual discussion OF school work. That
the schools are not doing all that might be desired
of them will generally be admitted. But in spite Of
all the criticism, it is not clear that the schools are
tagging much behind other human institutions in
the character of their work.
Perhaps, when we dig into the subject we shall
ind that a good many of the defects which are
charged against the schools have their origin else
where. One fruitful cause of trouble is the tenden-
(Which seems to be growing-to demand Of the
schools the training which ought to be given in the
homes: Ii we should refrain from loading up the
schools with work which ought to be performed in
homes should put forth a vigorous effort to assist
the school people in attaining the highest efficiency
in what is left for them to do, we should witness
an Improvement which would delight everyone.
But perhaps we shall not reach that state of affairs
this side of the millennium.

BUSINESS FOR v

That there is still need for naval armament is
evidenced by events now in progress in the Near
East. Unless We admit the principle that no nation
should interfere under any circumstances in the
quarrels of other nations, and that if one nation
chooses to assume the offensive against another, all
others must keep hands off and permit the world
to be ruled by whoever can bring the greatest force
to bear-unless we admit this, we must admit that
there are times when it is necessary for any nation
to haxe. at its disposal sufficient force to restrain
turbulence what the peace of the world is threat
ened.
The possession Of Constantinople and the Oar
danelles is not something to be decided in a war be-
The interests of millions of people are affected by
the control of the passage from the Mediterranean to
the Black sea. Directly or indirectly the interests
of the whole world are affected, for the trade which
is facilitated by free passage through those waters
is anNlnternational trade, the results of which reach
every civilized country.
There was some comment on the disarmament
conference to the effect that the leading powers
should have agreed to scrap all their navies instead
only partIof them. Had that been done Turkey
would have had easy work on the Bosphorus, and
would have been able to close up the channel to
traffic at will. As it is this cannot be done. There
is still enough shipping in the world to insure the
freedom of the straits, and the indications are that
this use will be made of it.
The moral is that unless and until a dependable
international force is created for the maintenance of
peace by force, the leading nations must retain suf-
tclent armament of their own to serve in that cause,
and must be ready to make it international at a
pinch.

TWISTED STATISTICS.

An article in a current magazine discussed tn
scientific wonders of the great Pyramid at Gizeh
and IN addition to setting forth some very interest
ing facts, undertakes to amplify the facts BY ascrib
ing to the pyramid characteristics which it does no
possess. For instance. the following statement
concerning the pyramid are made:
1t is the only building in the world that is
oriented exactly to the four points OF the COM
pass. Its measurements. extended. give the
weight OF the world in tons and the mean dis
lance between the earth and sun in miles. Its
base is an exact traction OF the diameter Of the
earth from pole to pole-to be exact. the ten
nilionth part OF the earth's semi-axis. 1t
stands within a few feet OF the exact center OF
the earths habitable area. and in all likelihood
is only those few feet out OF place because
the rock on which it stands is necessary to its
foundations. Its descending p~assagepoints up
ward exactly toward the Pole Star. Its inside
temperature is exactly the mean between the
boiling and freezing points of water at that
level. Its dimensions are said to solve the
problem of the squaring of the circle: and,
strangely enough. it appears to establish the
scientific basis of the English gallon measure
and the English inch, as against the so-called
metric measure.
AS a matter Of fact, the orientation of the
is not exact, although it is nearly so, and
there is no mystery about this, as the learned men
OF ancient Egypt are known to have been excellent
mathematician and competent astronomers, for
their time.
comparison of the measurements to tons and
miles IS absurd, as tons and miles were inventions of
centuries after the builders of the pyramids have
crumbled to dust, and the weights and measures OF
no two nations correspond. This absurdity also at
taches to the notion that the builders of the great
pyramid could have had in mind the English gallon
and inch, which are purely local and distinctly
modern. t>~@
Any fractional relation between the dimensions
OF the pyramid and of the earth is purely accidental
as the ancients were convinced that the earth was
HAT, and had no knowledge of its size or of its dis
lance from the sun.
! Inc interior temperature of the pyramid is the
result lof climate, and not of design.
The men who built the pyramids have LETT US
monuments of quite exact. scientific knowledge
along certain lines, and of great mechanical skill.
Because we have the evidences of this knowledge,
and because of a prevailing love for the mysterious,
there has been ascribed to them a great deal OF
knowledge which they did not possess.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1922-09-19

and reasonable it may be relied on usually to throw
the weight OF its influence the right way. That in
fiuence generally turns the scale.
Men who, under existing circumstances, Will
threaten to tic UP lake transportation if their de-
1nands are not granted have little faith in the justice
OF their own cause. Such a movement would merit
the condemnation Of the public, and would receive it.
And, if it is necessary that the country should put
up a real fight to- prevent being sandbagged, it
anything else.
1t the present demands of the season are just,
let them be granted. If the carriers hold back let
them be forced into action. But it ought to be I'M
derstood that the public is not to be stampeded into
supporting unjust demands by the threat Of being
deprived of fuel. If such a threat IS effective there
will be no end to similar threats.

ANOTHER STRIKE IN SIGHT.

The coal strike has been settled, at least for the
time beng. Coal is again being produced, and if
there are no fresh obstacles production will 90 on
apace. The rail strike has collapsed, and there need
be little trouble about speeding up distribution by
rail. Now we have the prospect of a seamen's
strike on the Great Lakes which will tie up lake
transportation and prevent the delivery at lake ports
OF the coal which must be distributed there if the
northwest is to be supplied. Thus we proceed from
one strike to another.
According to the news dispatches the members
OF the sailors union will refuse to sail on lake boats
which do not install the three watch, or eight-hour
system by October /. Lake vessels are now on
their way, freighted with coal. There is plenty of
coal on the Lake Erie docks and within sight to keep
the boats busy until the. close Of navigation. If
there is no interference with the traffic the boats
can deliver during the coming two months much
more %coafthan is ordinarily delivered in two months.
but yet not nearly enough to make up for the cessa-
ton Of delivery during the past six months. Sew
eral million people are dependent very largely on the
coal 50 delivered for their winters supply.
It's evident that a sailors strike at this time
would derangea all the plans which have been made
for the distribution of coal, and would nullifv for
the time being whatever advantage there Is in the
resumption of work by miners and railway sho9nmen
Undoubtedly the men who are shaping the move
ments OF the searnen's union have taken this fact
fully into account, and have chosen what they be-
licvc to be the psychological moment for the en-
Increment Of their demands. II is doubtless expect-
ed that the coal consumers of the northwest seeing
the prospect Of having their promised partial Supply

carriers to grantsany and Ill demand rather than
