Kjiiishs elub women are taking up the fight to save the schools from dis aster. There is a tdiortuge of over 201)0 teachers in the state. Many schools will be unable to hob) any Hus sions at all until smuething special has been done to meet the situation. The Krbool funds now ro barely suffi cient to pay even reasonable salaries to tlie teachers now it work unless the school tei in i i nhoittnod. i ' ... ip Thr Kansas .situation is fairly typi cal of the Kent-nil condition in other sections, i be women are dwnamnnp For the coal mi tilth to go on strike j at the beginning of winter, tying up I the mines, railroads and factories and leaving million's of homes without fuel, would bo like 'Jif nnLi.li.-nl rirnfi'sotion sti iking at the onset of an influenzal epidemic. The nation would have regarded I sucli a strike lust November with donation. The fact of demonstrable f grievances on the jmi. of the diwtors would not have been accepted as a suf ficient reason for surh calami tout; I action. The doctors, as the Saturday Kventng Tost points out, ivork on an a vertigo longer hours and receive less pay than many skilled lailor occupa tions, but would they therefore be justified in "walking out" and leaving the public to perish from disease? Not by any recognized standards of human reason and decency. A coal strike would mean industrial prostration, widespread idleness, loss of earning power by millions of fam ilies, famine from lack of purchasing power and lack of transjort;ition, suf fering fiom the cofd and an opening of the flood gates of disease, discon tent and lawlessness. From all that society could defend itself. It would find the means, in time. Hut the process might bo. !org and hard, and those responsible would not ho forgiven. No doubt the miners have griev ance, i )Iut thu way out of those grievances is not the way they have chof.en.
