MAKING STRIKES ILLEGAL
(springfield Republican,

The Russell Sage Foundation has performed a val
liable service in publishing a study Of Canadian ex-
periences under the much discussed Industrial Dis
putes Act. The theory of making strikes illegal on es-
sential public utilities, pending an investigation, had
many strong advocates in this country, particularly
about the time in 1919 when President Wilson sum
moned to Washington what were known as the first
and second industrial conferences for the purpose Of
drafting principles for the betterment Of the relations
between capital and labor. Those who held that view
were accustomed to base their support for il very
largely on the Canadian act.
The second industrial conference Of 1919, convened
by President Wilson, after the first and larger body
had hopelessly divided, included in its membership Of
seventeen Herbert Hoover and Owen d. Young Of the
General Electric Company. Its final report, issued in
March, 1920. showed that the proposal to recommend
legislation that would have made strikes on public
utilities illegal pending investigation had been earnest
ly considered, but dismissed, for one reason or another,
By fifteen Of the seventeen, while the other two, 7. w.
Gregory, formerly Attorney General in the Wilson
Cabinet, and Henry G. Stuart, former Governor Of Vir-
ginia, protested at the dismissal.
II is denied by no one that employees on essential
public utilities have a greater obligation for the con-
tinuous performance Of their duties than those en-
gagged in other industry. The obligation rests not only
upon the vital character of the service performed, but
also upon the fact that, from their nature, public
utilities provide a more assured employment than do
other industries. It has, however, been the opinion
Of most practical students Of the problem in this coun-
try that the assurance Of continued service is more
wisely left to the force Ct public opinion than to any
attempt, with its doubtful constitutionality, to declare
strikes on public utilities illegal for any period. This
view has been strengthened by the evident view of
more intelligent labor leaders that a strike on a pub
lie utility may easily become, with all its attendant
irritations, injurious to the labor movement rs a
whole.

See Agricultural Prosperity

Prosperity has returned to the agricultural Sec
tions Of the United States, which for several years
have felt the effects of low price levels, according to
the editors of five Of the principal agricultural publ
cations Of the United States.
The general resume of agricultural conditions, pre-
pared by these writers after q comprehensive survey
of conditions throughout the principal agricultural
sections, throws a new light on the situation, and dis
pels the rather gloomy portrayal of politicians and
others who are apparently seeking to arouse sectional
feeling over the agricultural question.
One Of the features Of the report is the state
ment that production is well adjusted to consumption
in all important lines; that farm equality is rapidly
being restored. and that prices for the major crops
are at a profitable level.
Right now there are three classes of people who
will deny vigorously and vociferously that anything
bearing the slightest resemblance to farm prosperity
is again with u.s." one Of the editors asserts. These
he sets forth as follows: First, those in sections
handicapped by bad weather this year; second, those
heavily in debt; third, all those who in any manner and
TO any degree have attempted to cash in on farm dis
tress, and with them those who have become thorough
1yeonverted to the doctrine Of agricultural pessimism
assfdsously preached by the most eolorful group Of
agitatcrs that ever decorated the farm horizon"
The Import indicates that crop production has been
worked doap to the point where SURPRISES have ceased
to be something to worry about. Food production is on
a consumption basis, and demand has caught up with
the supply. The natural result has been the stabiliza-
tin CT farm prices and the creation of a condition,
which, IL maintained by the farmers, should result in
highly prosperous conditions in all agricultural areas.
Farm sentiment has undergone a great change
this year." the report states. MANY have found their
confidence restored. Radicalism is d~windling. The

She wen into the first drug store
that she came 60 and telephoned the

They're probably still at the hos

the receiver.
The drug store was n OF those
glorified shops that carry everything
from aspirin tablets to sandwiches,
served az a long, white counter.
Sally climbed up on one of the
high stools and ordered q minced
chicken sandwich. But when II came
she could not eat. She was too filled
with excitement. too eager to get

Sally TO the white-aproned soda
clerk, and carried them out with her

as the hushed aisles Of a great ca

storm. A quiet that is like the soft
sound Of the great city breathing a
sigh afer its days work.
The air was willed with a gray
violet twilight Of autumn now, and
the shop windows were already light

on display in them-hats Of velvet

silk and dark glossy cloth. Shoes
that were little masterpieces of
leather. All the thousand-and-one
things that every women-every
woman, at least, who cares how she
looks-longs for inexpressibly.
Sally longed for them. For all her
up-and-comingness and her hard
working life, she was 20, and lovely
to look at. And she was in love,
besides.
In one window was the prettiest
dress she had ever yellow
taffeta, trimmed with little blue-vel-
vet bows.
Sally looked first at It and then
at the purse in her hand. In one
pocket Of il 10 o~ne-dollar bills were
stuffed-all she had left Of her
