WHY BIG COAL
STRIKE IS SURE


The following article by Herbert
Hoover is an authoritative statement
on the governments position on the
threatened coal strike. Hoover has
been trying for several weeks to get
miners and operators together. In
this article he explains why he con-
siders strike now is inevitable:
Much as we all regret it, believe a
great strike of soft coal miners to be
inevitable for the following reasons:
ONE-About 20 per cent of the
miners are nonunion. These operat-
ors have been able to adjust their
wage scales downward, thus enabling
them to keep down the cost of produc-
ton and to grab off the cream of the
trade during the last year at the ex-
pense of the unionized mines and min
ers.
The nonunion operators have been
enabled to give their miners more
steady employment, while the union
miners have worked on the average Of
only 1872 days of the year, which at
$3.50 average minimum wage per day
would give them about $1365 year.
But this is not the worst Of it. This
average of 1872 days employment has
not been evenly distributed. Many un-
ion miners have worked far less than
1872 days, so that many of them have
had bare living, others less than an
existence.
Loss of business to the union mines
has naturally depressed the operators,
while the sight of nonunion miners
getting steadier employment did not
tend to raise the spirits of the union
miners.
TWO-No wage settlement. as !
see it, between the union miners and
their operators can correct this TACT
of the nonunion mines. Again many
operators feel they cannot attend a
wage conference because of the inJunc-
ton issued by Federal Judge Ander-
son at Indianapolis.
But the coal problem is much broad
err than the foregoing. The operators
feel that it is due to the high price OF
American coal, caused by high wages
and high transportation costs, that we
have lost our foreign export coal trade
which wastnormally 100000 tons the
month and which occasionally reached
maximum of three million tons. All
that is gone now.
England is actually exporting coal
to ports on our coast where she has
not before sold for 20 years. Trans
Atlantic ships no longer bunker at our
ports but carry their entire coal sup
ply from the European side.
Then again the high price of Goa!
during the war and since, has brought
into use great coal saving inventions
expensive CRATES and the like, which
have vastly prevented waste OF fuel
but which when coal was cheaper
were not considered economically nee
essary. The result has been to con
siderably reduce the demand for coal
Independent iron masters claim, too
that the high price Of coal is an i'm
portant factor in retarding economic
and industrial reconstruction, by in
creasing the price of iron products ant
thus keeping the producer from buy
ing.
| Now to all this President Lewis o
the coal miners union replies that h,
cannot consent to any wage reduction
and, indeed feels that an increase i
) necessary.
For these reasons / fel that Goa
strike is inevitable.

In the approaching primary election
the name of DIR. J. L. Eaton, OF St.
Francois county as G candidate for
Congress in the 18th Congressional
District, will likely be presented to
the voters. We believe this announce
ment will be we'll received by Demo-
Gratis in all parts of the district, who
hone for success in November. This
district in the last two elections has
been strongly Republican, and Dr.
Eaton, we feel sure, can put it back
where it belongs, in the Democratic
column. AS to the Doctors ability and
qualifications, there is no question.
For four years he was superintendent
of State Hospital No. a at Farming
ton, and under his management that
hospital gained the name OF being
the best managed institution in the
state. DR.. Eaton has always been a
hard worker for the party, giving
time and money when needed. lie Is
also in sympathy with the various in
terests in the district, he having ex-
tensive mining and farming interests
as well as being a doctor and first class
business man. Washington county Is
glad, indeed, to claim DR.. Eaton as
one of her native sons, and will give
him the hearty support that his 'ex'
perience and ability 50 justly merits

AROUND THE CORNER

Around the corner ! have friend,
In this great city which has no end;
Yet days go by and weeks rush on,
And before l know it year is gone,
And l never see my old friends face;
For Life is swift and terrible race.
He knows / like him just as well -,
As in the days when rang his bell
And he rang mine. We were younger
then;
And now we are busy, tired men
Tired with playing foolish game;
Tired with trying to make a name.
Tomorrow" l say, 81 will call on
Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking OF
him."
But tomorrow comes and to-mor-
row goes;
And the distance between US grows
and grows.
Around the corner!-yet miles away
"Here's telegram, sir" Jim died to-
day!
And that's what we get--yeS deserve
in the end
Around the corner a vanished friend.

cow HIDE BRINGS II CENTS

Swift G. Co., writing from it's 4th
street commission house in st. Louis,
informs Henry Schnek, prominent YER
genness farmer, that: "And so you
see, Mr.. Schnek, we handled the sale
for nothing"
The sale was that of a fine hide of
Jersey cow, The hide, as Swift sales
slip of the transaction shows, weighed
SO pounds and brought one and one
half cents pound.
However, the express charges on
the hide was 80 cents, and after
Swift got through selling the hide
and paying postage the office wrote
Mr.. Schnek a check for eleven cents
for his hide. He has the check He
will keep it. He also has a mule
which he says he could have sold for
$16O a year and half ago. "But !
couldn't sell the mule for $50 today"
he said Monday,
Mr.. Schnek said that wheat is
bringing less than 81 bushel at the
mill and that corn is worth 80 cents.
He said it takes four bushels of his
wheat to buy his family 100 pound
sack of flour.
He mentions Henry Kline, one of
his neighbors, as the owner OF a fine
flock of sheep, and quotes Mr.. Kline
as saying:
"When l 60 to the barber and get
my hair cut / pay so cents for it and
don't get the hair.
II can barber little myself. and
I know that it's harder to shear a
sheep than it is to cut mans hair,
but when / shear my sheep, after
feeding them for year, all get is
21 cents for the wool"
"I'm not kicking" Mr.. Schnek said,
"just because the farmer is getting
nothing for his stuff, but when 1t
comes to going to town and buying
something, we farmers can't help but
feel that there's something terribly
wrong somewhere. We are paying at
both ends and in the middle. MUIR

On last Friday a man about GO
years Of age came to our office and
asked if we could direct him to a
place where he could get work. In
conversation with the old gentleman
he told us that he had walked 1000
miles through agricultural sections OF
this state and Arkansas in search OF
work on a farm He offered to work
for so cents day and his board, but
he was not able to get job. He said
farmers told him his price was reason
able, but the farmer did not have the
so cents. He said he was anxious to
get work. He wore clean clothes and
was an educated man. He said: 81

Representative Sidney G. Roach, of
the Eighth District, has filed with the
House petition from farmers in his
district urging re-establishment of
the u. S. Grain Corporation, created
during the war, and under which pric-
es were fixed on wheat and other sta
pie agricultural products.
The denomination of Major Robt.

made again to block it, although
urged by Secretary of War Weeks

The Floyd Oil Well.-When Mr. Choate was in the city week ago he reported that this we'll was down about 600 feet When questioned to- day 18th) on this point, he said 520 feet. Why difference backward, he was asked. Can't tell you; that's what they told me. At this rate the bot tom of the we'll will be on top the next time we hear from it. We take it that this means they are giving out no information.
 MT. Choate says they have found a vein of coal, have gone through the hard rock, put in eight inch casing and that when the well is baled one can smell oil-just where the oil comes from no man knows. This is the fourth well that has been put down under this derrick. The Central Oil X Gas Company is backing this pro- ject with MT. F'lemming as driller, Only day shift is on the job.

 The program rendered by the Fran lin Literary Society of the Vilonia high school was decided success. It was an example of the high standard of work being done by our efficient teachers.

You have a cordial invitation to attend.
