THE TWO STRIKES

Disinterested observers of the coal and
railroad strikes seem inclined to agree
that while blame can be laid on both
sides in both cases, the employers hold
the weaker position in the coal strike and
the employees the weakers position in the
railroad strike. And the whole recent
history Of industrial wars indicates that
in any big industrial dispute nowadays
the weaker side has to yield sooner or
later, under the pressure of public opin-
ion.
The rash outbreak of violence on the
part of the miners in Illinois and one or
two other states has not obscured the fact
that On the whole the miners from the
first have stood ready to confer and adj
just their differences with the operators
on a broad and rational basis, and that
the operators have steadfastly refused
Many unbiased students of the situation
hold that the national wage-adjustment
plan urged by the miners is what the
industry needs, to stabilize it, as a basis
for inSuring peace and orderly produc-
ton. That plan has been followed in
other big industries, especially in the
railroad industry, the one over which the
government exercises most complete CON
troll. As long as the operators insist on
merely local wage adjustments, they are
not convincing.
As for the railroad workers, they are
on the defensive from the very fact of
their having fouted the United States
government. They have also shown
themselves inconsistent by challenging
the right of the labor board to lower their
wages though they gladly acknowledged
its authority before, when it raised their
wages. The rule ought to work both
ways.

OWNERSHIP OF PosToFFICEs

Uncle Sam is now inclined to take the
advice he has given to so many private
citizens, and own his own home That
home, in its municipal manifestation, is
usually a postofice, and it is surprising
how many properties used for postal pur-
poses are owned by private capital
1t has been found that in large mum
bers of cases, the sums paid out for
rentals for city postoffice quarters, over
periods of 10 or 20 years, would have
paid for the building and ground. Ac.
cordingly Postmaster General Work, sup
ported by Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion and members of congress interested
in postal development, is advocating a
progressive plan of government owner.
ship of postoffice buildings as an economy
measure.
No doubt the cry of pork" will be
raised, as usual, against any such plan
by communities not obtaining the post
Offices. There need be no occasion for
that cry if the plan is worked out on a
business basis-that is to say, if congress
and the postofice department are content
to provide a suitable building for taking
care of each city's postal business, with
out feeling obliged to erect Greek tenn
pie and spend three times as much for
architecture as for utility.

His plan calls for spiral floor of very
slight grade, winding upward, and around
and around, with every turn just high
enough above the one below to give clear
ance for automobile tops. Cars could
be driven up this inclined floor and
parked closely facing the outer wall leav-

some elevators and maximum amount of
space in the building would be realized.
