Every Strike Now Is a Blow Against Labor

If the heads of the great labor organizations of the country, together with the American Federation of Labor, act with wisdom, THEY WILL RESOLUTELY FROWN UPON PROPOSALS COMING UP FROM SUBORDINATE ORGAN2ATIONS TO STRIKE AT THIS T M E. The confusion and misconception' incident to making the transition from war to peace is not an unnatural condition, and to make the transition with, as little disturbance as possible, either economic! social or political, requires whole-hearted co-operation all along the line, universal patience, sacrifices by many and the employment of the highest intelligence of the nation. What the nation is trying to do is return to a normal

basis as soon as possible, to adjust and readjust its com

plicated machinery upon bases of fairness to individuals,

Croups of individual?, states, sections and to the united nation. If this group or that from motives not of justice, but of advantage cease to work, or if the trade or division of labor or public utility ceases to function, THEN THE TASK OF MAKING ANY READJUSTMENT INTELLIGENTLY AND FAIRLY IS RENDERED DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE. ' The people need to realize that the problem of peace are more difficult than those of war, and if ther are people who do not know- that the obligations of peace are Quite as solemn and inviolable as those of war. thell their patriotism is of a thin and worthless quality. The multitude of difficulties with which the country is struggling must be dealt with collectively and separately.. They are all. related in some degree. But it will require time and patience, as well as intelligence, to deal with them in a way to reach permanent, just and satisfactory remedies. Nearly every condition which evokes couaplaint is cumulative of other conditions. NOT ONLY THAT. BUT THERE IS NO CLASS OR GROUP, TRADE OR ORGANIZA2TION, THAT IS NOT MORE OR LESS EM BARASSED BY THE HIGH COST, OF LIVING and other temporary conditions incident to the war itself and the readjustment now in progress. It is no time for any class or group to be giving ultimatums to the public or to the public's government, threatening strikes or demanding concessions or policies that effect the whole nation. That is not only the last word in folly, but is unpatriotic almost the point c 1 reason. f The adjustment of prices, salaries, wages and all other elements and incidents affecting transportation must come, but they must come in connection with similar adjustments in productive lines, AND WITH THE

RIGHTS OF THE ULTIMATE CONSUMER ALWAYS FAIRLY CONSIDERED. Moreover, all demands which affect the public ot government must be subjected to intelligent and fair investigation which will accord full considerat'on to every other interested affected. It is not possible to grant the arbitrary demands of any group Independent of their relation to other groups. ALL MUST BE CONSIDERED ALIKE. NO GROUP IS ENTITLED TO CONSIDERATION 'THAT OTHER GROUPS MAY NOT RECEIVE and any government that would countenance such special treatment her privilege not only could not long survive, but it would not deserver,to survive. The useful activities of a nation are all inter-related, inter-dependent and essential to the other. U is proper for each individual, group or interest to seek justicenot only proper, but imperative. But its claims must be subjected to a fair test in consideration with Ihe interests of the whole mass. Otherwise it is not seeking justice but an arbitrary advantage that will invarialy fail. 1'ltiniatums are dangerous and usually indicative of poor leadership, and when they are handed to the soverign power of the people as represented in their government they invite the destruction of those who issue the challenge. There should be no strike, big or little, in the United States for a year or more under any circumstances even if they might be ordinarily Justifiable. EVERY EMPLOYING AUTHORITY IS BESET WITH QUITE AS MANY DIFFICULTIES AS THE EMPLOYES WHO MAY BE RESENTFUL OF LIVING CONDITIONS. But at this time juggling with the number of dollars can accomplish nothing substantial or permanent. The dollar itself is out of order as much as anything else, and it must be righted at the same time the greed of profiteers is being curbed. Let eveiw man and woman remain on the Job tot a year and the country can all the more easily reach safe ground. If the operations of our highly complex civilization must be bampored and upset by the impatience and frequently unreasonable and unjust conduct of discontented men. it will take just that much longer to turn to normal conditions, AND IT WILL MEAN UNNECESSARY SUFFERING FOR MILLIONS OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN THROUGH ENFORCED IDLENESS. As strike against the public is never popular, and it generally fails. A strike against the government is a challenge to the flag. IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT IN THIS TIME WHEN MEN NEED WISDOM AND VISION, IF WISDOM AND VISION WERE EVER NEEDED, THE GOD OF NATIONS MAY NOT FAIL THEM.

NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY.

The statement that, of approximately four million

soldiers who insured their lives under the war risk in

surance act. approximately three million already have permitted their policies - to lapse, reveals a condition that is regrettable if it is not alarming. The opportunity afforded by the government to obtain protection at a rate which was attractive from a business viewpoint ought not to have been neglected by any soldier. The principle of life insurance is well established. Well iatentloned people no longer look upon it as a species of "blood money" as some did a generation ago- The prudent man now includes insurance in his family budge, ulong with provision for groceries and clothing and education for his children. It Is, indeed, the only guarantee he can give that these will te forthcoming alter he is gone. . It would be enlightening to have a statement from the war Insurance board as to the number of soldiers who dropped their insurance between the signing of the armistice and their discharge. It is said that hundreds of thousands of men allowed their policies to lapse in December and January. The war insurance policy was one of the great constructive achievements of the war. The decision to continue the policies in force after demobilization, with certain modifications to fit new con'idtions, was an inspired after thought. The latter gave the discharged soldier the privilege, without re-examination, of continuing his insurance without a break. No ex-service man is doing justice to either himself or those dependent on him when he permits his army insurance to "run out'
