FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1922.


In his message TO congress on the
18th the president bore rather heavi-
~ on the "lawlessness" of laboring
men, but lightly on that subject in
connection with the management Of
the coal mines and the railroads.
The industrial trouble is not a mat
ter in which all the blame should be
attached to labor Labor is one horn
in the dilemma; capital, as repre-
scented 10y the owners of the great in
dusttieS, is the other.
Organized labor is, we believe, at
times unreasonable and domneering
and does not have that sympathy
which ought to be its if union men
always lived up to the standards of
their different unions and never took
advantage OF union strength to put
something over" on their employers.
But these infractions are due to ina
bility of some perfectly good work
men to realize, that, for their own
good, they ought not copy the stand
ard of hoggish capitalists; and per
haps to some extent to incompetent
and INSCRIPTIONS leaders.
Industry, capital is entitled to fair
returns Every person who has saved
his earnings and invested in an enter
prise feels that he is entitled to a
reasonable return upon his savings so
that when his sight becomes dim and
his step insecure he may live in com
fort, lie down in security and be re-
specially returned to the earth But
in our time great industries have
developed, most of them participated
in by multitudes of investors, though

pay themselves great salaries and
conduct themselves as kings, not alone
in their domicliary affairs but also in
their attitude to the government, the
public and their employees. Out of
their Golfers rich contributions are
made to political campaigns EXecu-
tives look up to them as the dispen-
sors of authority, the acumen of wis
dom. We have no intention of dis
paraging the big men. If there were
no big men to take the lead. if there
never had been, we should all still be
roosting in trees or living in burrows.
There are few real big men in big
jobs Then there are a lot of little
men in big jobs, moneygrabbing
sharks in control of big institutions;
who would shame the devil but they
know no shame. They control most

A bill has been introduced in con
gress for a commission to investigate
the coal industry Investigations
have fallen into disrepute. Whether
justified or not, ordinarily the find
ings Of those charged with investiga-
ting industries have been looked upon
as "whitewashes" in favor of the
operators. We believe that more good
may be accomplished by at once legis-
lating against strikes and lockouts.
creating boards charged to settle dis
putes between laborers and employ
ers, and fixing the profits Of large
operators at legal interest rates on
the money invested and in use in any

The strikers in reality. it seems to
US, are not so much for wages and
working conditions as they are
against these rich operators. No
matter where the strike or in what
industry it is protest against the
taskmaster, the overload, who rolls

which, if kept down to reasonable
figure, would enable the industry to
pay the common laborer more.
The presidents message carries a
demand for legislation which will en-
able the government to prevent
strikes and fix the wages Of the labor
er, but what Of the great mans in
come? The labor board. in fixing the
wages of labor overlooked entirely
the salary Of the railway presidents.

ident is evidently guilty Of the same
oversight
The nation is demanding industrial
peace. The government must find d
way to fulfill that demand. This paper
is not an advocate of government
ownership, but if there is no other
way out We shall have to come to that
as a probable feasible solution Of the
matter. Attempts at government
control have seemed to result in no
control and higher costs. No matter
what the cost. we must have uninter-
rupted rail service and fuel supply.
and if the president mas not suggested
d solution congress may be able to do
so, and ought to give the problem
first consideration until real remedy
is found
