and many other factors accounted for o
gradual decline. Eventually it became
definitely improbable to operate the
mines. Effort to reorganize the indus
try implied the necessity Of q new wage
scale, and it Is against this change that
the Illinois miners are now in revolt.
The country as whole Is in better
condition than it was few months
ago. and it is largely because Of this
fact that the people in general regret
complications of the kind represented
by the current news. There Is wide
spread appreciation Of the suffertngs of
the poor, whether they be farmers or
miners, but it does seem a pity that
these outbursts should come just at
the moment when harmony between
capital and labor, between class and
class, is prime necessity in the liquida-
ton of the slump which has affected
all alike.
The United States is a solvent con-
cefn. The future is bright-if only the
people will pull together Strikes are a
form of civil war which has no place in
a democracy. The way to prosperity is
the way OF tolerance and cooperation,

Further evidence of the development
Of the Russian Scviet system away
from the rigid rule of communistic
equality Is afforded In a dispatch to the
New York Herald Tribune from its
special correspondent at Moscow to the
eject that the limit Ct 800 rubles a
month on the pay Of each of the

of democracy. Labor was needed and
administrative skill was required. In

The Young Builders.

In the modern world 1t is fortunately
impossible to isolate young people from
the constructive interests and occupa-
tions Of their elders. The time when
children were barred from participation
in serious things apparently has passed,
never to return.
An excellent example of the fact that
father and son. big brother and little
brother can share an enthusiasm Is
manifested in the current competition
among youthful builders Of model air.
craft.
The first aviators were men not con-
spicuously youthful. But they no sooner
had begun to develop the science
than they found that the subject had
attracted their juniors. The earliest
flying fields swarmed with children.
With earnest, sober faces boys and girls
watched the experiments of the Wright
brothers and Glenn Curtiss. Abroad
the contemporaries Of these men had
the same experience. The aviation au-
dience soon became noticeably youth

Natural evolution governed the event.
The children Of 1900 became the cour-
ageous young flyers of 1914-19l8. Col
Lindbergh. born in 1902, was just 25
when he few the Atlantic, in 1927.

Farm Cooperation Advised;
Success of Strike Is Doubted

National interest and discussion have
been aroused by the attempt in some
Of the grain States to raise the prices
of their products by means of strike
among the farmers. The question is
raised as to whether enough pledges
can be obtained to affect the market.
Much advice is given in the direction
of using the method of restricted pro-
duction and cooperative marketing as
o means of reaching the desired goal.
IF they feel they can get better
prices by temporarily holding their
products, they are entitled to do so,"
declares the Kansas City Times, but
holds that "if they resort to force TO
stop produce from going to market,
they put themselves in the wrong and
turn public opinion against them"
The Dayton Daily News believes that
1.-The Iowa farmers are taking the hard
est of all roads to justice for them
selves" and that less effort and or
ganization than the measure of this
employed, more than this strike can
hope to gain"
Opinions may differ about the wis
dom of the present strike movement"
declares the Rock Island Argus, but
everybody will concede that agriculture
stands in need of better prices for its
products" The Argus feels that "the
strike method might help. conceivably
If it was universal in extent" While
holding that mo more than labor
strikers have they the right to force
others by violence to join them" the
Minneapolis Journal feels that mo one
can blame farmers for making this ex-
pertinent in price lifting. for surely
they are under no obligation of any
kind to sell what they raise at loss"
1t points out, however, that American
farmers are by nature and tradition in
dividualists and do not readily accept
such mass movement as this with ef-
fective unanimity."
1.-THE farm holiday is entirely prop
er," states the Sioux Falls Argus-Lead-
er. There can be no moral or legal
objections to 1t. Farmers have a per-
feet right to withhold their hogs,
wheat, eggs, milk and butter if they
feel that the prices being offered to
them are too low. Furthermore, they
are justified in grasping at any oppor-
tunity that promises to terminate the
long era of selling their commodities at
prices that are below the cost of pro-
ductlon. On the other hand, each
farmer has a right to decide for him.
self what he wishes to do. If he feels
that he must go to market, he should
be allowed to do So"
The Mitchell Gazette holds to the
belief that with the Federal Farm
Board already functioning, in position
to act for 100000 farmers who had
Joined the co-operatives, the success of
the farm holiday would have been as
sured, could the movement have func-
toned through that organization" The
Gazette adds that maybe it will sue
ceed anyway" The Uniontown Herald
recalls that "the most successful farm
ers' strike movement to force higher
prices for their product was that Of the

Trouble in Iowa and Illinois.

The people of the East read with
sympathy but probably without much
understanding Of the farmers holiday
movement" in Iowa and the disorders Of
the coal miners strike in Illinois. Day
to-day reports Of incidents in each of
these struggles confuse the public mind
and obscure the fundamental issues.
In the case Of the farm strike the
trouble arises from the determination
of the farmers to dictate prices. Such
things have happened before. but almost
invariably the effort has failed. The
economic law of supply and demand is
involved, and escape from that law is
difficult, If not impossible. In the present
circumstances there is an excess Of
production, implying a fall in prices
The farmers have undertaken to force
prices up by shutting off the ordinary
now of agricultural commodities to
market. They have tried to dictate
to the urban populations in this respect
In effect, they have laid siege to the
towns. Thus, their strike is really ar
embargo or q blockade. To what degree
it can succeed is doubtful.
