For who does not know that In the settlement of the coal strike the higher sages will be met by an increase in the price of our food, clothing and shelker? Who doex not know, 100, that the ad- }ditlonal cost of coal will be added to the already high prices of production and that the manufacturer, the Job- ber and the retailer will all pass this inereared cost of coal on to the con- sumer? | The business man has learned that the public can be trained to do its Purchasing in fewer hours, The gen- eral public has learned conservation, work, recreation, rest and the abso- lute interdependence of each group uyon every other group. The poor ‘miner has learned that he 1s not su- perior to his government, that he ‘cannot freeze the public into sub- mission and that in this government of the people, for the people and by the people, no man tr group of men Will be tolerated, who will not play his part!
