It will be a strike of the near-idle for a chance to work, During the heydey of the business boom caused by the war, when coal sold like gold nuggets, every Tom, Dick and Harry who could do so, opened up a mine to grab off a quick fortune. Tens of thousands of workers were lured to the coal fields, where profitable em- ployment was sure. Thru no fault of theirs the bubble burst. for the needs of the trade. unless helped. It takes money to move, try to another for nothing. Today there are far too many mines In 1921 the average mine worked but 125 days. There is a surplus of from 100,000 to 200,000 miners in the coal districts, victims of a situation not of their making. Virtually without jobs, their families destitute and on the ragged edge of starvation, the miners are caught in a sort of industrial trap from which there is no escape Railroads do not haul families from one part of the coun- Besides, where can the surplus miners go? What sec- tion of the United States just now is clamoring for more hands? One of these days somebody will find a remedy for the coal mine muddle. operators cannot do it them selves, the government will find a way to make coal mining & yearround indusiry with fairly stable labor conditions. When this is done the surplus labor evil will cure itself. Meantime the miners cannot be left to starve. Whether the operators agree with the contentions of John L. Lewis, president of the miners’ union, makes little difference so far as the immediate present is concerned. What does make » difference is whether they will meet with the miners as they, in writing, agreed to do, and debate the issues ralsed. President Lewis declares they will use every honorable means to avert a strike. Will the oper- ators do as much? The United States government possesses a bureau of mediation and conciliation. It should func- tion NOW, to bring operators and miners together.

The figures which seem most worthy of credit show that they are idle so much of the time that their yearly earnings are pitiably small, This dooms the men to poverty and their families to degradation, A generation of this will turn the whole coal mining industry inio @ national slum. The real trogble Wes in lack of work rather (hn low wages for workers, Why do they, or some of them, not go inte some such work as clearing up lands and producing from the soil? Fifty years ago no such glut of miners was possible, The land would have absorbed them, The situation in the mining in- dustry is an indication of the fact that the labor question is always a land question. Without access to land on terms of ju» thee and practical freedom, the laborer is “up in the air.” And yet economists and statesmen shrink from envisaging this basic question.

If you examine ice cream under a microscope you will find that it is full of tiny bubbles of air. Ordinarily this is just the air we breathe, a destroyer of vitamines. We freeze SEATTLE HEATH- IZED ICE CREAM in a pure, vitamine- protecting atmosphere. eattle Heathized , | ICE CREAM|| Purer ia air |]: When you buy SE- ICE oo you buy ice cream which is pure. It is made pure by using only the finest ingredients, richest cream, purest sirups, fruit juices, and freezing it in a pure, vitamine-protecting atmosphere. This is a costly process, but we believe that you will appreciate our unceasing ef- forts to give you a better ice cream. SEATTLE HEATH- IZED ICE CREAM is the pure, high vitamine ice cream. Try mixing ice cream and sirups with plain water. You'll find it flat, almost un- pleasant. But substitute carbonated water F and you'll enjoy a mixture full of life and : sparkle, the same as you enjoy in ice cream ; soda. So does Heathizing enhance the rich- ness and flavor of ice cream.
