AN ENDURANCE TEST

The ninth week of the coal strike shows no actual change on
the surface from that of the first day. 1t does not even seem to
merit mention in the press of first page Importance, and outwardly
there is no expression of opinion from anybody as to the flnal
outcome. There are no local aspects to consider, as practically
there is nothing doing whatever in coal production, the heating
stoves are banked for the summer, whfc the kitchen ranges are OPP
Grating on the surplus put in the bins by farsighted househoders.
Outside of a little speculation as to what is 10 be done when the
bins are empty, and occasional inquiries regarding the price OF
cordwood, the fuel situation does not appear acute.
Uncle Sam so far has held a neutral attitude, although steps
were taken to see that there should be no profiteering during the
continuance of the strike, by those who control the stocks of coal
in existence. So far as the general situation of the coal industry
has been made publcit would seem that there is yet little danger
of a coal famine. The geological survey says that the output of
coal is on the increase, the total for the last reported week being
45O0, 900 tons, or about 49, 900 cars a day. AS the country uses
about 500 00, 900 tons a year, this would indicate that in spite of
the strike the non-union mines are producing about half as much
coal as is normally used. 1t is also caimed that there are still
Secretary Hoover says there is no excuse for any raise in prices
and that all increases will be looked upon with suspicion.
1t seems to be a pretty well established fact that there are
more coal miners than necessary to produce the coal that the
country consumes. The evidence of this fact is shown by the
many idle days of the coal miner, which is said to average 80 days
out of the year. Coal miners are fairly well satisfied if they get
in four or five days a week at the wage scale in force when the
strike was inaugurated, and this was the basis of their demand for
a retention of the scale and a five day week. The high price of coal
during the war stimulated the opening of new mines and the high
wages attracted men to the coal mines 1t would seem more of an
economic problem to be worked out by concessions from both sides,
rather than a business difference to be adjusted by bargaining.
1t is perfectly natural, in view of the enforced idle days through
lack of orders at the coal mines, that the miners should desire the
high wages, and equally natural that the operators would like a
continuance of the profits of war time coal. -

FLINT is A REAL DOPESTER

Mr.. Thrifty Flint, editor of the Great Falls Call, a news
paper of uncertain political procfvities, who by the the way has
given it out that he intends to become a candidate for congress in
the republican primaries, has doped out the senatorial race and
handed the nomination to Mr.. Wellington d. Rankin.
He states that Senator Edwards of Forsyth is sure to come
out, and in that event just watch our friend Rankin pick off the
nomination"
For an amateur Republican Thrifty takes the blue ribbon as
a dopester.
The Argus calls Mr.. Flint an amateur Republican by reason
of the fact that two years ago or such a matter he was running a
Democratic paper down at Malta. Somewhere between that station
on the high line and the city of Great Falls he cast off the cloak of
simon pure democracy which he had professed to wear when
former Governor Sam V. Stewart gave him some sort of an ap-
pointment during the war, and when he disembarked in the city
at his present residence he b1ossomed out as a we'll adorned repub-
liean. Just as soon as he unoaded his plant and started into the
business as publisher of a weekly newspaper he proceeded to tap
the Republican state central committee for a good sized chunk of
the coin of the realm and now he is a candidate for Congress and
expects the members of that party to cast their votes for him on
August 20.
In casting his fortunes with Mr.. Rankin, or even viii any
candidate for the senatorial nomination, Mr.. Flint demonstrates
that he is Just as young and tender in politics as he is a member of
the republican party.
According to Mr.. Flint all of the senatorial clubs which have
been organized in Great Falls are doing nicely except the one
which ne says was organized by Mr.. Riddick's friends. The fact
of the matter is that no effort has been made by Mr.. Riddick's
friends to organize a club in the city of Great Falls.
But the main point is that in attempting to belttle the strength
OF Mr.. Riddick, this alleged lately washed and secured republican
editor shows that his system is not yet free of Democratic bile.
He is following in the wake of nearly every democratic daily
newspaper in Montana which for weeks have been giving Mr.. RAN
kin front page publicity and combining their references to MI. Rid
dick to charges and counter charges, the most of them silly and all
of them false and mseading-Fergus County Argus.

LIGHTER SKIES

One hundred per cent employment is the report on the labor
situation, without of course, counting existing strikes or lockouts
These reports are based on the demand for labor and averaged
throughout the country and does not take into consideration any
particular local condition, only as it relates to the whole. There
is in some localities an overplus of workers seeking jobs, but this
is more than overbalanced by a demand for workers in many lines
exceeding the visible supply. This condition, together with the
generally more than hopeful attitude of the bankers who recently
met In Great Falls, gives a brighter tinge to the outlook for good
times According to our personal experience with bankers, we
should say without reserve that when they admit a bright finan.
clal future, 1T may be taken as very conclusive.
On top of this it is announced that a freight rate cut has been
ordered by the Interstate commerce commission effective July 1
amounting to 10 per cent all over the country on an average and
for our own district even more, a cut that will make a very an

GASOLINE PRICES

Canadian farmer and joy rider pays something like 7
cents a gallon for the Juice that drives his tractor and buzz Wagon
and resultantly he doesn't do much of either these days. In fact
a number of big farmers in the northern country who had equipped
their farms with power were forced to re-equip with horses and
mules. Thirty cents for gas did not seem so bad after the stiff
rates of war time and the alleged shortage of surplus stocks, but
when we are informed by statistics that the reserve stocks are
greater at the present time than at any time since the warandno
that the price has been raising at the stations a cent at a time
it generates a little curiosity as to-the cause.
The promised freight reductions of July will undoubtedly have
an effect on the retail price, probably an amount about equal to
the advance since the first of the year, which causes us to wonder
if the reduction of freight rate order was anticipated by the re-
fineries and the advance made to meet it. 1t looks like a reason
able conclusion.

THE WHITE PLAGUE CONQUERED

That 100000 lives will be saved from the ravages of tubercu-
losis the present year is the statement made by Secretary of
State Hughes In a recent speech before the National tuberculosis
at its eighteenth annual meeting in Washington. Sec
rotary Hughes declared that tuberculosis is not an act of Provi-
dence, but a dispensatien of evil, and an evil that can be stopped.
The trouble is that we have always considered tuberculosis as a
one of the inevitable calamities that come upon man.
notion that it is preventable is one that is hard to put into the
of our people"
Undoubtedly the greatest advance in the treatment of tuber-
culosis has been gained from experience In the hospital and re-
work in caring for disabled war veterans, and in the
sanitation of factories and work shops of the country during the
period of activities of the public health service.
