JOY STRIKERS
The labor agitator who wants
to ignore compacts ignore duly
chosen representatives of labor
and just step on the gas and let
'er go anyhow is having quite an
inning now.
It is a phase of the deep and
general disturbance which events
of the last five years have set up
in men’s minds-reacting upon a
sense of labor’s strong position
at present.
It goes on the idea that labor
can afford to show its speed, ir
respective of whether it has any
particular destination and of
the rules of the road.
But no position was ever
strong enough for a spendthrift.
Irresponsible, reckless strik
ing as a mere squandering of
that much of labor’s strength.
Joy striking is as serious an
obstacle to collective bargaining
as any that the most Bourbon
employer can impose.
There is obviously- no more
use in a collective bargain then
in a bargain of any other sort if
it is not real binding on both
parties; no use in dealing with
chosen representatives of labor
if they do not represent.
The best students of the situ
ation now look for a shortage of
labor, or at least very full em
ployment of labor, as a condit
ion to be counted on for an in
definate period-instead of that
unemployment which a ^ood
many people thought they for
saw six months ago.
So far as we are able to see
there is nothing on the horizon
to gainsay that prophecy, with
the possible exception of exten
sive interference with product
ion, demoralization of industry
and discouragement of enter
prise through needless* strikes.

TRICKY PROFITEERS LURE
JAY BUYERS IN MARKETS
The ways of the world are
weird.
Likewise, they are found so in
the various businesses conduct
ed in the public markets of the
| city.
The city posted signs. ‘‘Gov
ernment Surplus Food Sale” in
connection with its disposition
of some 40,000 pounds of bacon
and a large amount of toma
toes and corned beef.
The housewives flocked to the
signs like bees to a bursted
bung in a honey barrel, that is
if honey ever comes in a barrel.
Enterprising but unscrupel
ous private marketmen immed
iately got busy and executed
clever art work to the effect
they were selling “ Government
Inspected Bacon,” But the word
‘inspected’ was so small it was
hardly readable. Consequently
the bacon-hunting housewives
paid excessive prices for ordin
ary salt bacon and the marke
teers smiled and cleaned up.
