DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

AS has been said above, the people
Of the United States, despite the fact
that they were relatively prosperous,
were not contented Taxes, rentals
and the prices of the necessities of life
remained too high, and the farmer es-
pecially complained because he did not
receive enough for the products of his
toll. AS usual, the unrest expressed it.
self at the polls. What many consid-
cred the conservatism of the Harding
administration was blamed, with or
without reason. AS the primary cleo
tons in various states came along, the
voters saw and seized their chance,
and frequently the more conservative
candidates were beaten by. so-called
progressiyes. Albert j. Beverage de-
feated Senator New in Indiana; Lynn
J. Frazier defeated Senator McCumber
in North Dakota; Senators Johnson of
California and La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin were triumphantly renominated-
and there were many other such in
stances. 1t was generally predicted
that the Democrats would win big vic
tories in the election on November z.
and the results justified the forecast.
In both house and senate the Republic

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL


Bulking large in the affairs of Amer
lea were the two big strikes, Of the
railway shopmen and the coal miners,
In effect at the same time, they seri-
ousIy threatened the national we'll
being by disrupting traffic and causing
a countrywide shortage Of fuel.
Unable to reach an. agreement with
the mine operators on the wage scale,
the miners, both anthracite and btu
minous, went on strike April /. In
June and July President Harding con
ferred with. representatives of both
sides, and proposed, that the men re-
turn to work at the old wages and that
the new scale be arbitrated. His plan
being rejected, he told the operators
to reopen their mines under protection
of federal troops and the flag. In only
a few cases was this done. There
were numerous local conflicts and some
killings, and the price of coal threat
ened to become extortionate. To pre-
vent profiteering the government
adopted plan for the supervision Of
production and distribution Of coal on
July "a. Operators and miners Of the
bituminous fields met at Cincinnati and
on August IS signed an agreement
ending the strike, the men winning vir-
tually all their demands. A similar
settlement of the anthracite strike was
made on September 2. It was admit
ted that the root Of the trouble had not
been reached and that another strike
in the spring Of 1923 was almost a GER
tainty. Since there was still a great
shortage of coal, Conrad e. Spens was
appointed federal fuel director on Sep
TENDER %.
The railway strike followed an order
of the federal railway labor board, is
sued June 6, reducing the wages of the
shopmen about $60O00,000 a year.
Other rail employees had their pay cut
proportionately, but the shopmen were
chosen to make the fight. They quit
work on July /, and two days later
were "outlawed" by the board. On
July IA they were reinforced by the
stationary engineers, firemen and oil.
ers. From the beginning the admins
tration strove to bring about SETTLE
ment, but both sides were stubborn.
the restoration Of seniority rights be-
ing the main stumbling block. Presi-
dent Harding warned the strikers
against interference with mails or I'M
terstate transportation, and the agen-
cies Of the government were active in
enforcing his orders. Finding they
could not tie up traffic, the strikers in
many regions resorted to extreme vio-
lence, and even to murder. In the Far
West some Of the Brotherhood of
Trainmen members co-operated with
them until called off by their chiefs.
Several trains loaded with passengers
were abandoned in the deserts. Final
.ly the government struck vital blow
at the: strike. Attorney General Daugh-
erty, on September 1. obtained from
Judge Wilkerson in Chicago sweep
ing order restraining the shop crafts
from interfering in any way with the
operation of the railways. Two weeks
later the strike was broken when
many railroads negotiated separate
agreements with the shopmen.

most noteworthy events elsewhere
were the establishment Of the Irish

pope: the rout Of the Greeks in Asia
Minor and the regeneration OF the
Turkish state, followed by the Near
East peace conference at Lausanne ;
the downfall of Prime Minister Lloyd
George, and the triumph Of the fas-

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

With Michael Collins as its head,
the provisional government of the Irish
Free State was established in Janu-
airy, after Dali Eireann had accepted
the treaty with England and De Valera
had refused to accede. Immediately
the republicans, now rebels. started a
warfare that lasted throughout the
year and was marked by innumerable
assassinations and other outrages,
The Free State forces gradually gained
possession Of most Of the territory

fighting degenerated into bushwhack-
