UNIONS AND STRIKES

!. Unions have come to stay Many a:
solid grained conservative will almost
concede that. Strikes, likewise. seem
almost inevitable. They are the out
growth Of unionism.,. They indicate a
new, stage in industrial development.
Some would call them necessary
evil. Perhaps they are right But the
fact remains nevertheless that unions
express their will and desires, when
hard pressed thru the means, of
strike or suspension of their labor.
Men must organize to win for them
selves their just rights. AS the law
yer will organize, the business man,
the physician and the producer so la
Dor, in order to gain it's rights and Sc
cure livelihood. must unite. What
has been gained for labor since the
sun first set on Mother Earth has been
gained by the concerted effort of the
workingman and his brother. Better
wages, better working conditions, ade-
quate protection, all has been won,
thus far thru the means Of collective
bargaining. This the unions have
done.
The immediate effects of a strike
are not profitable Idleness on the
part of the striker is costly, impeded
business is a loss to the employer and
hardships Of various kinds are work
ed on the third party, the public. At
first glance strike is poor invest
ment
Better and more truly viewed, how
ever, the strike is means to an end.
The end is either a better wage, a
better working condition or any right
which the striking class feels it is en-
titled to. The means of strike, de-
plorable as it is, appears to be the on
ly effective means to gain that end.
1t is an unpleasant struggle, a sacri-
tice and even speculative adventure
The striker does not want strike. He
uses it in self defense and to protect
his right to a decent living.
Unions without the power of strike
are worthless. We could conceive of
a union demanding certain rights. They
would send their representatives to
demand by word of mouth these rights
They are refused. What then shall
they do? They may appeal to the gov
eminent. An attempt at mediation
ensues.. 1t may terminate with a de-
cision against the, employee. Without
the strike he would in this case be
helpless. Compulsory arbitration al
lows for no strike.

NOBODY HOME.

A rather old colored man walked up
10 the front door OF the courthouse
The other day.
He had the appearance Of one who
hadn't been around much in his lir"
time and certainly not OF late.
He didn't try to open the front door
but walked up on the stone porch.
Evidently he didn't know that it
was Il public building to which every
body had access, but appeared TO
think that ar attendant must appear
to invite him In.
"IIello!" he called.
There was no answer.
"lfello!" lie called again, and still
thero was no answer because officials
at the courthouse ordinarily have
much more to do than to listen Tor
noises on the outside.
'IIello!" he called n third time and
it happened that one OF the Officials
heard him and came out.
What do you want, old man. no
inquired and the colored man told him
he was looking for the man who COL
lected taxes.
''Why didn't you come in?" inquired
the official and the reply Of the old
negro was that he 'nevah went In no
mans house widout hollcrin."
"Dut if you pay taxes this Is as
much your house as it Is that OF any
body else" replied the official.
'Wcll slh, dat might be, hut an
don't know nuthin' crbout IT." Srlnned
the old negro.
Didn't know there was anybody
that ignorant in York county" SAID
the official who told the story.

Convinced that the burning Of Miller
school house in District No. IS, sew
eral weeks ago was the work Of an in
cendiary, M. ]. Miller, secretary Of the
state sinking fund commission, which
insures rural school buildings, has no.
tilted the school district trustees that
a special detective will be sent into
the district by the sinking fund COM
mission, to try to locate the person or
persons who fired the school building.
1t will be recalled that Harmony
Presbyterian church, located n short
distance from the burned school
building, and which was being used rs
Il school building after Miller was
burned, was also destroyed by fire n
Few days after the burning OF the
school house.
While practically every person liv-
inE in Miller district is convinced that
he two buildings were fired by some
incendiary and while there has been
much talk and speculation rs well as
some investigation, there are no clues
20 the guilty party or parties.
What motive any person should
nave for firing the school house of the
district the trustees arc at loss 10 lin-
lcrstand.

Calling on the citiZenry to aid Of
ficers in the enforcement of the prohi-
bition law, Judge c. c. FcatherStone
declared in his charge to the grand
jury in the Greenwood county court
Tuesday, that many citizens who knew
where distillerics were in operation
would not aid officers in finding them
because they did not want TO disturb
the source of supply or were afraid of
the law breakers. Judge Feathersronc
declared that there would be no ade-
Quate enforcement of the prohibition
law until citizens generally united in
cooperating with officers in enforcing
this law. Considering the newncSS OF
the law, it is remarkably well enforced.
Judge Fcatharstone said. lie declared
that it would be foolish 10 ever hope to
completely eradicate Dootleggers rs
long as men still had a thirst for liquor,
but conditions were now incomparably
better than they had been under the
former system Of legallZed liquor traf
flc. In proof, he cited the example Of
Greenwood on Foch day when l5.DO0 or
10000 visitors crowded streets without
single arrest being made.

insists that Ireland is and Of right

That article on the tax question In
another column by Senator John r.
Hart is commended to the careful con-
sideration of all thoughtful citizens OF
York county. The article was written
at the request Of the editor Of The En-
quirer, who was prompted to make the
request out Of the knowledge that in
the first place Senator Hart has been
giving the tax question careful and
painstaking study, and in the second
place the views Of the county's chosen
representative in the senate on this
question should command especial con-
sideration at the hands Of the people he
represents. It Is understood, Of course.
that the views expressed are the views
of Senator Hart, and are to be accepted
as such. Whatever else may be said
about the article, 1t leaves no reason to
question. the fact that Mr.. Hart has
given a lot of careful study to his sub
ject.

The one thing needful to promote the
highest material prosperity of this
country is more thrift. Too large n
per cent. OF the people seek money only
that they may waste it. People are too
slack about paying their honest debts.
They are needless about going into
debt, and careless about trying to get
out. Credit Is too cheap. for which
situation tre creditor is as much to
blame as is the. debtor. There are not
enough savings accounts at the banks,
and such savings accounts as are there
are too small. 1t is time for people to
call halt on unnecessary expendi-
lures. It Is time for both creditors and
debtors to tighten up on credits. Loose
creditors are almost as harmful as
careless debtors. But anyhow let
there be more thrift.

If the legislature would take proper
view of the higher educational future
of the state, it would take the matter
of appropriations for state colleges III
hand and fix them on permanent reas~
enable basis. AS matters now stand
the colleges Of the state have formed a
powerful offensive and defensive COM
bination having for its object the get
ting of the largest possible appropria
tions for each. About the only condi-
ton necessary for one institution that
wants an extra $4,000 is to agree that
the others should have extra also. Thus
the college combination has become the
most powerful political combination in
the state. The legislature should fix a
definite allowance for each Of the COL
leges with a view to putting an end to
the annual wire pulling.

common belief is that he will use his

would probably have been given the

The big thing about Henry Ford's
Muscle Shoals plans seems to be that
he wants to create and develop wealth
that has heretofore existed only in a
potential state, and the opposition
seems to be coming for the most part
from those who are concerned mainly
about their chances of being able to
continue to fatten on the wealth al
ready created and developed by others.
1t is those who help the world to move
forward who are really worth while.

Governor Cooper's message to the
general assembly is In the main q
follow-up OF the taxpayers conference
held in Columbia on December IL. The
main object of that conference. no
doubt, was to help bolster up what the
governor was to say later in his
message. The conference, of course,
had little to say of appropriations, eX-
cept to suggest some retrenchment, ard
the governor in his recommendations
has proposed some slight reductions.
