THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Speaking of the situation brought
about by the striking miners and
railroad employees the Union Daily
Timesfurrushes thsi very timely editorial:
"Tho Mi'lurav cfrilce, instead of end
ing last week, as some predicted,
seems to be gathering momentum
daily. In the meantime, as we predicted
in the beginning, the people
are beginning to pay. The price of
coal to the consumer is soaring and
is so scarce that it cannot be had
at any price. Many large manufacturing
plants have closed down, owing
to the coal shortage and all business
is hampered by poor transportation
fatalities. Unless the government
steps in to end it, the strike
will continue for some time, and conditions
will grow worse. Almost any
day the engineers and firemen may
be drawn into the battle. The clerks
on some systems have already voted
to strike, and may walk out any day.
The chief reason for the failure of
transportation lies in the fact that
strikers not only walk out, but use
every means in ineir power iu pievent
others from taking their places,
not hes.iating to use violence. Here
is where the unions are going to
lose the battle. When the struggle
is over the workers will have lost
the fight and there will be the enactment
of laws in the future that will
pat labor unions under very much
stricter regulations. The law, not labor
unions, must be preeminent. Already
laws have been enacted prohibiting
aggregations of wealth act:
ing independently of government.
The same will have to be done in
the case of labor unions. No one
group of men will ever be allowed
to set up a government that supersedes
the government's laws. This
week pro mises to be a stormy one.
In the meantime, let it be remembered
that the public pays. The public
is always the goat. But the public

The Boss Melon.
We are indebted to Mr. L. J. Brockington
for the boss watermelon of
the season. We didn't weigh it but
we measured it, then we ate it It
measured 62 inches lengthwise around
and 30 inches around the middle. It
was symetrically shaped and was of
the improved MEpps" variety. It
was of fine flavor and texture, and
can be properly classed as one of
the "dignitaries" of the seasons melon

Governor Wilson G. Harvey Mon
day sat hard on the practice in some
counties of allowing prisoners on the
county gangs too much freedom. He
addiessed a communication to the
foreman of the Marion county grant
jury, in which he asked that reports
of this kind from Marion county be
investigated, and a report made tc
the chief executive. Reports frorr
various counties have been receivec
in late weeks that officials allow prisoners
to go in some cases to theii
homes. From Marfon county t|he
governor has been advised that escapes
from the chain gangs are fre
quent; that a man convicted of manslaughter
is "almost immediatelj
made a trusty;" and that in som?
cases convicts are allowed to go t<
their homes and work their crops.

Cotton Conditions Feverish.
Fluctuations in cotton prices continued
wide and irregular during the
first weeks of July, accompanied by
i reports of continued unsettled financial
and political conditions abroad,
and of serious spreading of the boll
j weevil with consequent uneasiness as
| to the probable extent of damage
1 from this and other insect enemies
of the crop. The main factors of inj
fluence on the course of prices for
several weeks had been the prospects
for the new crop and the decreasing
| stocks of cotton, but foreign political
and financial conditions, and more
recently our domestic industrial sit;
uation, have shared the attention 01
> the cotton trade with the statistical
i position of cotton.
I On July 14th the Bureau of the
. Census reported that consumption oi
cotton by American mills during the
. month of June amounted to 507,869
bales, exclusive of linters, compared
with 461,917 bales in June 1921. The
census report shows also that imports
j of Egyptian cotton for the eleven
, months ending June 30, were 228,.
433 bales of 500-pounds, compared
, with 84,716 bales for the correspond.
ing period last season.
, Total stocks of cotton in the Unite<
States on June 30, in accordance witli
statistics compiled from reports Oi
the Bureau of the Census, amounted
to 3,593,966 bales, compared with 7,425,055
bales on the same date las;
year.

Wrong Principle, Mr. Farmer.
Allowing the manufacturer or speculator
to fix the price on the product
of your labor is wrong. He fixes the
price of the product of his efforts,
why can't you do the same? Join
the Tobacco Growers Association and
be independent. The horse has been
riding long enough,
i Whether you join the association
; or not let us insure your tobacco on
the farm while you are preparing it
for market.
