u. S. MAIL AND BLUBBER

1t is great country anyway,
and growing greater every min
ute. The Post Office Department
has Just made its annual authori-
cation OF emergency mail service
for go miles from Kotzebue to
Point Barrow. 1t gives one the
cold shivers to think OF it, for ali
this official efficiency and enter
prise is in Alaska. In 4 playful
spirit the press agent of the de-
parument makes the announce
ment: This is to inform Mr..
Amundsen, arctic explorer at
Wainwright, Alaska, that he had
better put a mail box on his igloo
and do it quickly. If he does not

When men arbitrate the differ
ences between other sets OF men it
is impossible to give both sides all
they want. II they did it would
not be arbitration. But the main
flamenco of way men did not strike,
and we believe that course was
much the best for both the men
and the country, for there can be
little doubt that such a govern
mental agency will approximate
Justice in their decisions, given
time and light.

ANTHRACITE "SETTMEMENT'

Following the example of the
soft coal miners the anthracite
miners are now to return to work.
What is termed a settlement is TO
be of a years Duration, the wage
scale to stand at the old level.
1t goes without saying that
everybody has lost. People soon
forget. Only few days have
elapsed since the operators made
the announcement that they were
ready to close with the miners, but
that they awaited a public man
date" Properly Interpreted this
means that the people must be
ready 10 pay the price, ii the war
wage Scale was to be observed for
another year. 1t really meant
nothing to the mine owners, as the
increased cost would simply be
passed along, as per custom, to the
ultimate consumer. Thus the pub
lie has lost, and lost heavily.
For the miner there have been
many weeks of lost motion. He
and his family have suffered, and
this loss can never be covered dur
ing the remainder of the year by
a continuation of the present wage
scale. Just as likely as not the
mine owner, too, has lost We are
prone to imagine that the other
fellow is getting rich, and then we
are surprised to find that some
great corporation IS having a fight
against bankruptcy. Coal will con-
tinue high in price, to make re-
pairs at the mines and TO meet the
wage scales, but there is likewise a
vast amount of capital invested
which has been IDLE all summer.
Strikes cost money, and it is I'M
likely that capital viii altogether
escape its share in the loss.
A disquieting development, as
we see it. is that MIR, Lewis and
MS advisers. the leaders in the
mine strike, were bent against ar
bitration in any form Towards
the last the operators didnot stress
this point, and it was this that
made the adjustment OF differ
ences possible. The union chiefs
coutended for a continuation of
the policy OF collective bargaining.
The trouble about this policy Is
that it means more strikes in the
future. rs a policy, or plan OF
settling disputes between capital
and labor it has iailed-it has
meant war instead of peace. II
there can be no arbitration, ther
the alternative is an appeal &c
force. he employment OF which
means destruction, generally OF
many things. The strike as 1
weapon ought to be laid aside, JUS
as other weapons ought to he lalC
aside in a Christiamzed and civil
lied society.
