Striking Home
A great many editorial writers and
paragraphers have made much of the
numerous strikes lately. They pun that
so many disputes between employer and
employe are a certain sign better times
have returned.
Just why the newspaper fraternity, in
particular, should always assume that a
striker is a man who doesn’t want to
work when there is work that must be
done is beyond us. Scribes, for the most
part, are just wage-earners themselves,
and it is curious how little sympathy
they have for their brothers in other
trades.
True, it was but a few months ago
that labor was glad to get anything to
do at any price. Today, to the casual and
uninformed observer, it would appear
that a certain class in this country is
attempting to foment trouble between
employer and employe, and that workers
are not entering into the true spirit of
the reconstruction period.
The thought occurs to The Miner that
possibly labor is not the only one who
has failed to enter into the true spirit
of the New Deal’s effort to rebalance
this country’s business. There may be
employers, or groups of employers, who
have taken advantage of the working­
man's overeagerness to work at any
price. Leastwise, we are not going to
concede that all labor strikes are mere
rackets until we come into some actual
contact with proof of abuse of the right
to walk out on an employer.
An abundance of strikes in this coun­
try may be evidence that normalcy has
returned, but that isn’t saying normalcy
has necessarily returned to the working­
man.

Telling the Truth
Iowa publishers have devised the fol­
lowing supplementary provisions of the
code, which we hope General Johnson
will hurry up and approve. Their adop­
tion will mean millions to us small town
publishers:
For telling the public that a man is a
successful citizen when everybody
knows he is as lazy as a government
mule—$2.70. Referring to a deceased cit­
izen as one who is mourned by the entire
community when we know that he will
only be missed by the poker circle—
$10.13. Referring to some gallivanting
scandal monger female as an estimable
lady when every business man in town
would rather see the devil coming—
$8.10. Sending a hypocritical old repro­
bate to heaven, when we know that hell
is too good for him—$5. Referring to
deceased merchants as “progressive citi­
zens” when they never advertised in
their life to help draw trade to town—$1.
