INDUSTRIAL WAR INEVITABLE UNLESS CONGRESS ACTS Not since the declaration of war with Germany has this country been confronted by a situation which even approximated in danger the present crisis in the relationship between capital and labor. Here is the situation in a nut shell: The Washington Industrial Conference was disintergrated after a complete failure to accomplish anything; conference has broken up and a complete cessation of soft coal production was scheduled for Nov 1, with a walk-out of 600,000 miners; the strike of the steel workers is still unsettled and is in a dangerous stage, and many other strikes pending or contemplated; Mr. Gary and his associates have just been celebrating, at a meeting attended by 1,300 persons, their "victory" over the labor unions at the now defunct Industrial Conference; while Mr. Gompers, together with hundreds of other union and brotherhood leaders throughout this coustry and Canada, are arranging to gather their united forces in an early conference at our National Capital for the obvious purpose of planning a nation-wide, and perhaps a continent-wide strike which will call at least 6,000,000 men (representing, with their families, 30,000,000 people, whose means of support and productivity will be cut off completely) ;which will completely paralyze practically all industries and all means of communication throughout the country; which, it would seem, will not only bring the present leaders of industry to their knees before organized labor, but which also seems likely to intimidiate our Government institutions and agencies and perhaps destroy our fundamental intsitution of majority rule. And all this at a time when our President is lying on a sick bed, unable to assume the leadership and initiative which the country so imperatively needs, and when Congress, quibbling over the details of the President's plan for world peace, seems blind to the danger and is utterly failing to take any action whatever in the face of this gathering flood which threatens to overwhelm our country, even as it has overwhilmed Russia, unless it is immediately dammed. Conferences have failed. The pleas of the President from his sickbed were ignored. Class feeling and hatred is mounting higher and higher. And now deliberate plans are being made for an industrial fight which will involve not only the contestants and their families in loss of life and property but which must inevitably cause incalculable suffering and loss to every one of our 100,000,000 people and threatens the destruction of our Government. Clearly something must be done and done immediately. Moreover there seems to be, in view of the President's illness, but one agency which has the power to take effective action, and that is our National Congress. The union leaders represent the union laborers and the industrial leaders represent their stockholders. These leaders have utterly failed to settle their differences by peaceable means to the interests and rights of the general public. But Congress represents the whole people and has the right and power, and is charged with the duty of looking after the welfare of the whole country; and it is therefore for Congress to say whether this struggle shall take place or whether the controversery shall be settled by arbitration. Laws compelling arbitration under such conditions as now exist between capital and labor have long been needed. Now it is no longer a mere need but it is a demand which confronts Congress; and Con- ' gress must comply with that demand otherwise seem utterly inevitable. | Regarding the responsibility for this unfortunate and dangerous situation, the representatives of the miners claim that the operators are to blame, and the representatives of the operators claim that the miners are to blame. There is no disagreement, however, as to the fact that .whoever may be to blame for the failure of the conference, if the strike takes place the innocent general public will suffer. And it is also true that, if Congress fails to meet the emergency by swift anti-strike and arbi- I tration-compelling legislation the | members of that body will be to blame for the disastrous consem quences which Mem inevitable. ' KEPT MISERABLE BY HER NERVES SPARTANBURG WOMAN ONCE DREADED TO HEAR TALKING READ OF OTHERS TRIALS Mrs. Lawter Says She Feels Fine In Many Ways And Praises Tanlac "Tanlac is the best medicine I ever took for stomach troubles, nervousness and palpitation of the heart. I sure can praise and recommend it," declared Mrs. H. E. Lawter, of 116 Williams St., Spartanburg, S. C., in a statement she gave in endorsement of T^anlac February 1, 11)17. "I suffered from indigestion, very bad nervous troubles and palpitation of the heart," continued Mrs. Lawter. "I could hardly sleep, but would roll and toss for hours, and my nerves were so bad I was kept miserable almost all the time. I could not eat anything hardly, and what I did eat felt like bricks on my stomach and I had a kind of choking feeling in my chest after meals. My heart fluttered a great deal, and this, I think, was partly caused by the great quantity of gas that formed on my stomach. "Finally I decided to try Tanlac, as it had helped so many others who had troubles like mine. Now I am not bothered with stomach troubles, inanKs to laniac. i leel a great deal better in every way. My nerves are much stronger and steadier, though I used to be so nervous I dreaded to have anyone speak to me unexpectedly. I have not been bothered with palpitation of the heart either ince I took Tanlac. "I feel fine now in many ways and I sure can praise Tanlac. I am fiftynine years of age, and it takes a powerfully good medicine to help me as old as I am, as much as Tanlac helped me."
