THE STRIKE SITUATION
The labor organizations seem to
have cotton the idea that they are
about the biggest and most import
ant thing in this country. They
not. sfiflm to realize that this
country is too big and too resource
fnl tn nprmit afiv man or set of
men to ruin it.
They have gone so far as to
intimAtfl that if coneress should
enact laws against strikes they
would defy such laws and not be
bound by them. When any or
cariizHtion pets bicser than their
government such organization
should be curbed. Such declara
tions are un-American and the out
growth of revolutionary agitatiors,
many of whom have no sympathy
with this country or it intitutions.
Leaders of mine workers have
ordered a strike on November 1.
The miners have not voted to
strike, the order comes from offi
cials of the union. To stop the
mining of coal at this time would
be a great calamity to the country.
President Wilson has issued a
statement from his sick bed of
solemn warning against the contem
plated walkout. He says he will
regard a strike under present cir
cumstances "as not only unjustifi'
able, but also unlawful." It would
cot only be unlawful, but an act of
treason to bring about such suffer
ing as the suspension of coal
production in the winter months
would entail. The president has
given assurance that the govern
ment will be able to protect the
country against such a calamity.
"It is time" says the president,
"for plain speaking. These matters
with which we now deal touch not
ODly the welfare of a class, but
vitally concern the well-being of
all the people. I feel it my duty
in the public interest to declare
that any attempt to carry out the
purposes of this strike and thus
paralyze the industry of the
country, with consequent suffering
and distress of all our people,
must be considered a grave, moral
and legal wrong against the gov
ernment and the people of the
United States. I can do noth
ing less than to say that the law
will be enforced and means will
be found to protest' the interests
of the nation in any emergency
that may arise out of this un
happy business."
These are strong words, but
every true American, who loves
his country and desires to see its
government respected, will endorse
them and stand behind the presi
dent in putting them in force if
the occasion should arise demand
ing such action. - .

DEMAND UPON FARMERS
Labor organizations are making;
an effort to enlist the farmers of
the country in their strike move
ments. Farmers occasionally do
iool tnings, but we do not believe
they will, ever be led into a trap
cf this kind. Mr. Charles S. Bar
rett, one of the delegates who rep
resented the farmers in the recent
industrial congress, has made the
following statement: ,
Menaced by entrenched privi
lege on the one hand and a peril
ious red propaganda on the other,
the nation is facing the most dan
gerous situation since the civil war.
The failure of the Industrial Con
ference to accomplish any concrete
thing makes necessary an offens
ive and defensive alliance between
all conservative forces of the coun
try against the common enemy of
extremism. -
The boat is rocking, only a wil
fully blind man will doubt this.

if this is likewise true everywhere.
