Had this mistake not been Ivmade, the public would have pene- trated the facts more readily and would have seen the strength of the miners’ case. “The enormity of the reductions impelled the miners to use every |weapon possible, and for the first | time they called away the pumpmen. {This was the natural answer to the ¢ .ners’ notices to pumpmen, as well as miners, to quit or accept drastic arbitrary reductions. “The effect, however, was.to hard- en opposition to the miners without either softening or improving the outlook of those who had to act for th_e government. or - speak for the mine owners. “But the- dispute should have been prevented. Had terms similar to those put forward by the government when the dispute had lasted two months been submitted for discussion two months before the stoppage occurred, there would have been no stoppage at all. . “As in the case of other great in- dustrial disputes, the coal stoppage has shown how foolish it is for both sides to make sweeping statements as to what they will never do. Un- qualified declarations of policy by either side intended to alarm or ter- rorize the other side seldom have the effect desired. “Also, the appalling unemployment due to the mines dispute reveals the serious and costly defects in trades union machingry -for settling great disputes. The ,cXecutives, chosen as the best men in their unions, should have power to secure for their side the best terms possible. They can not, they must not, submit offers made to them to a second, larger body of men not quite as good as they are, men who are influenced by . men. of their local unions. scattered throughout "England, who are not as well in touch with the situation as are the executives. Re- sponsibility without power and the acquirement of knowledge from con- tinual negotiation without the free- dom to make full use of that knowl- edge, is a condition from which trades union leaders should try to emerge.” THE PIONEER WANT ADS " BRING RESULTS PILOT NOW ASKS 0DDS OF NOBODY Captain Wethern Says He Can Do ‘As Much Work As Any Man Since Taking Tanlac “I was in such an awful condition I could scarcely do the chores around the house, but thanks to Tanlac I'm well and strong again and can now do as much work as anybody,” said Roy H.
