ol of things tons done and of things undone looking backward we easily enough can see lost opportunities we might lean I 1 have done dona better it if a year ago we knew what we now know we could have avoided many pitfalls and there are some sins ot of omission we awauld have shunned but what we did Is done and what we do Is undone and so tile the historian of the future will write it down there are some of us who are inclined to think tile the historian will pin few medals upon 1919 tor for there are those of us who believe we waste much of 1919 tills this is true but also it is true that man wastes much of every year but of every year he takes a toll of gain of progress of 0 human advancement in 1919 he lil done this very thing now we have in mind the man who makes his homo home in this land the american let us ask ourselves how have we gained this year how did we progress advance we have had more labor unrest re st than in other years we have had a higher cost of living we have had more friction between producer and consumer but with all this we have had more americanism we have beco become more thoroughly american than we were before the war than we were luring during the war than we were when peace dawned we may have our little family quarrels over the matter of wages prices and how bow things should I 1 be e run but we are now more thorough I 1 ly convinced than ever

temporary in character and uncertain in its results that the miners expect a still further increase in pay is evidenced by the statement of the union chiefs the scheme proposed by dr garfield left no hope for the mine workers other than the acceptance of a an increase in mining prices of 14 T per er cent says the statement the pre sl si dents proposal provides that this amount of advance is preliminary an and d that tha t the tribunal wh which I 1 ch he shall set up will have full authority to consider further questions of wages and working conditions as well as profits of operators and proper prices for coal readjusting both wages and profits it if it shall be so decided it is patent that the miners consider the 14 per cent increase simply as a temporary advance to be followed by others while garfielda Gar fields 14 per cent is no more sacred and unerring than president wilsons Wil sons fourteen points the miners treat it as it if it were simply a stepping stone to higher things in the way of wages the settlement is characteristic of the democratic administration it is a policy of postponing the evil day the policy began when the administration tra tion in 1916 yields to the adorn adom ain on law holdup and conc cone usable after we entered the war it was j to all thoughtful men that alter after the w war ar the workers would keep up their demands and so enlarge them that the government would be compelled to offer resistance and make a stand it is to the credit of mr garfield garfiel that he attempted to do this but the president has taken the matter out 0 his hands and has effected another i transitory arrangement at the end lof i ol 01 sixty days there probably will be 1 another strike unless the arbitrators repudiate the garfield settlement and grant an advance in wages mr lewis and mr green ot of the 1 mine workers deserve credit tor for op 1 posing the radicals and bringing about a cessation of 0 the strike had i they been as deeply tainted with rad as they were suspected ot of being they would not have battled so loyally for the Presidents plan causel but would have worked secretly to cause a continuation of the crisis i while the settlement
