BY HEX

We have been interested in the
discussion now at fever heat, COM
ing to us via the Northwest En-
terprise over Initiative 100. A
splendid example is shown by the
Enterprise management in thus
putting KEEN on the air and in
augurating another step of Negro
advancement in this section of the
West. With the aid of the Enter
prise we are in close proximity to
presentations given over KEEN,
and are thrilled because of our as
sociation with such a forward
moving paper. Excerpts of the adj
dresses delivered by Messrs. john
son and Fair were indeed illumin-
ating, in that they indicated there
is no sleeping sickness affecting
Seattle's Negro population.
Were we a voter in the state of
Washington, and a citizen of Sc
attic, we certainly would be found
in the ranks of those who are
boosting 100 as an advanced step
in the settlement of labor dis
putes. Just rifle shot from He
lena, the plant of the American
Smelling and Refining company
opened its doors this week, after
a cessation of work since July.
Who won? Over in Butte where
thousands of miners are working
underground and are the backbone
of the industrial life of the city, the
miners do not strike. A sliding
scale, based upon the price of cop
per, is self-adjusting of the wage
problem and seems satisfactory to
both sides. When copper is down
wages are adjusted accordingly.
When copper is up, as is the case
now, wages come out of the cellar
and everyone is smiling again. The
merchant, the professional man,
and common citizens enjoy the
change. That is winning game.
We don't have to ask 'eWho won ?"
Strikes, either of the stand-up
or Shutdown variety, as well as shut
downs and lockouts are inimical
to our entire moral and industrial
background. They are localized
warfare that cannot be confined
within bounds. War is hell" saws
a well known soldier. It is not
minimized even when travelling in
the guise of a labor dispute. They
engender the bitterness of gall in
the hearts of participants and,
like a pestulance settling in the
midst of a community, no one is
safe from its bad effects. No man,
woman nor child can stand outside
the baleful influences. When all
is over we ask ourselves, as SER
ious minded, liberty-loving, and
peaceful citizens, who won?"
We need capital. We need I'm
ions. Above all we need machin-
cry to adjust our difficulties with
out strife.
