They have lost the strike after seven months' fighting. It is a major labor disaster. Why did those miners lose? It is not a complete answer to say, as many are saying, "because their employers had greater resources and influence.'" .The government, too, failed to stand by the miners as they expected, but; that does not tell all the story. Why were the mine owners able to maintain their position, and why did the government virtually side with them instead of the miners? Evidently because the union workmen in the mines were not supported by: the union workmen in other industries. Tho lnlxir bond broke. Class consciousness and class inter est failed to stand the strain, because tho workers in trans Kirtulion, steel unci other industries found that the coal strike crippled their own industries and threw them out of work, so that they could not help the miners if they wanted to. So the millers' strike failed for much the same reason that the general strike called in their behalf failed. It meant general suicide for ISritish industry. It meant general starva tion for Iliilish workmen, who are the largest social class and nearest to the edge of want. Never was there, a better example of the fact that a big labor strike is a strike against labor no loss than against capital. Labor, which can enduce such a war less than capi tal, should be even more zealous than capital in seeking ways to avoid such disastiuus struggles. i I There is a difference between deep frying and deep frying in Snowdrift .Safoty' TRAVEL UV Moroit oTA(.E lies?

At the right temperature for frying,. many fits "break down," smoke that i.i, burn and have a tendency to upset digestion. .The wholcsomcness of Snowdrift as a frying fat is due to the fact that it can be heated hot enough to fry crisply long before it burns, so that with ordinary care you can fry food in Snowdrift that is as digestible as the same fooJ cooked any other way, and still; has that rich, delectable "fried" taste..
