The coal miners are striking for
a chance to earn more than $500 to
$763 per year on which to Bupport
their families. They want' to work
steadily six hours a day for five days
a week, instead of a day or two a
week. This is the real meaning of
the six-hour workday and the five
day week which the operators have
been trying to magnify into a ridic
ulous and unreasonable demand. Be
fore condemning the miners, let us
all reflect upon how we would like to
have their dirty and dangerous jobs
at the pittance they annually re
ceive. The Ohio and Pennsylvania
operators wanted the strike in order
that the price of their surplus coal
stocks could be boosted and they
could profiteer at the expense of the
American people and American in
dustry. That is why they refused to
attend the Pittsburg conference and
thereby flouted and defied the Bitum
inous Coal commission and through
it the national government. On the
operators rests the onus of a strike
that imperils the entire country's
welfare and will bring starvation
into the homes of thousands of luck
less miners.
News reports from the industrial,
commercial and transportaiton fields
all indicate returning confidence, if
not Immediate prosperity. This be
loved republic is working oft the
headache which followed its war-time
jag, and aside from the coal strike
will soon have reached a normal and
satisfactory condition. The spend
thrift will still be restless and dis
contented, regretting the hectic day3
of the war; but he cannot be made
immune from the law of the non
survival of the unfittcst. The time
is near when thrift and industry,
however, will have reaped their just
reward.
Margot Asquith's final verdict is
that "America is a fine country and
Americans as a whole mighty nice
people." Since she did not see Ore
gon, we are inclined to regard this
as downright flattery.
We suspect Mrs. Asquith remem
bered her status as the wife of a
diplomatic statesman, when she de
cided to confirm we Americans in
our indubitably good opinion of ourselves.
It is not inappropriate that A.
Slaughter is connected with the com
mittee which by proposing repeal of
the millage tax would kill off Ore
gon's institutions of higher learning.
Friends of Princess Mary were over
generous in sending her twenty-two
clocks as wedding gifts. She could
have gotten anything she wanted,
anyhow, on tick.
Despite its faults, the soviet gov
ernment appears to have been merci

Portland ought to encourage its
Chinese tong wars, if by this means
the highbinder population can be re
duced without endangering innocent
bystanders.
The New York Journal of Com
merce thinks that "the trouble with
most of us is that our necessities are
too luxurious and our luxuries too
necessary."
From their customary manner of
joining the "innumerable caravan,"
Ireland decedents are rather less apt
to rest in peace than In pieces.
The French disturb us sometimes,
but they are not responsible because
they do not all happen to be as nice
as Papa JofTre.
Chicago has reached a point where

Poughkeepsie, New York, is said
to be disturbed by the "bob-haired
ghost of a flapner. Must be a
fake alarm, as no flapper is ever a
"dead one."
Now-a-days it is more than ever
a comforting thought that the entire
Atlantic ocean is between this coun
try and Europe.
The latest wrinkle in rural uplift
is to put moving pictures on the farm
in order to keep the hired man from
moving off it.
The good old days have gone. One
Texas statesman called another a
"common liar" and still has an un
punctured hide.
Whatever is done at Genoa, this
government has taken care that it
will not be the United States.
We've an idea those Portuguese

The weather having settled, the

More confidence was voted in Lloyd

HUGHES DEFENDS TREATY
Failure to Ratify It Would be National
Calamity.
Washington, D. C Secretary of
State Hughes Injected himself Into
tho treaty fight in' the senate by writ
ing a lengthy letter to Senator Under
wood, one of the American delegates
at the conference, in which he scored
the thinly veiled Intimations made In
the senate that the American dele
gates were "Imposed on" in the mak
ing of the four-power pact.
The secretary's letter hinged about
questions that have been raised In the
senate us to the authorship of the
treaty and the open charges made by
some senators that it "was conceived"
by Balfour and written by Kato.
While not answering the question of
"who wrote the treaty" directly, Sec
retary of State Hughes indicated In
his letter that he himself wits the
author of the pact.
The failure of the senate to ratify
the treaty, Hughes declared, would be
nothing short of a national calamity.
Railway Wage Reduction Asked.
Chicago, 111. Railroad labor and
the nation'B largest transportation
linns opened their fight over the pres
ent scale of wages Monday before the
United States railroad labor board.
More than 175 roads have placed peti
tions for reductions averaging 10 per
cent before the board.
LLOYD GEORGE IS UPHELD
Vote of Confidence Given By House
of Commons.
London. The house of commons,
after an unexciting debate, adopted
by the substantial majority of 278
Promier Lloyd Qoorgo's resolution
calling for confidence in the govern
ment's policy on the coming economic
conference at Genoa. The vote was
372 to 94.
In the earlier part of tho session
the house passed an hour and 20 min
utes of Buch tenseness as it had not
experienced for many months, when
the prime minister, fresh from his re
tirement In the country, threw down
the gauntlet to his opponents and de-
clured that a vote on the hitherto
Innocuous Genoa resolution was tanta

House Won't Pay Anybody $35,000.
Washington, D. C The house put
Its foot down firmly on a proposal to
pay salaries of $35,000 to four ship
ping board officials, refusing by a
unanimous vote to approve the con
ference report on the independent of
ficers' appropriation bill, which would
have authorised payment during the
coming fiscal year of salaries of be
tween $11,000 and $25,000 to six em
ployes, In addition to the four who
could receive $36,000.
Perhaps it's because her dreams of
