4 CALM STRIKE

The big anthracite coal strike causes hardly a
ripple IN the stream of American business. Feared
beforehand, 1t is viewed now quite calmly. Nobody
talks ragcay. It may be serious matter before 1t
ends but just now there is hint of catastrophe.
This Is reasonable, in the crcunls tances. There
are great stocks of hard coal ahead. The eastern
states which use mainly this type of fuel have most of
their winters supply already stored For most pur-
poses, soft coal be for hard in emergency
and the bitumnous ndustry resources are far great
er than any demands usually made them. So for
the present at least railroads. manufacturing indus
tries and domestic consumers have worry
and they need have for two or three months yet
Much may happen in that time.
Nevertheless here is another glaring example of
industrial nlismanagement, which the coal industry
seems to illustrate better than any other. Another
coal strike Always coal strikes! Strikes at best en-
failing losses of tens of millions to operators min
ers BOTH to be passed along to the all-sufferng
public Strikes at worst prostrating the industry of
great nation and threatening to freeze its people in
mid-winter
strike is the crudest way of settling an indus
trial issue just of armies and navies is the
crudest way OF settling international issue. We
should be getting beyond that

Hitherto the sorting Of freight cars making them
up into trains, switching individual cars to different
trains onto sidngs has all had to be done with the
aid of laborers riding the as they were kicked
