MARION, N. C, AUG. 24, 1922 THE STRIKE SITUATION. We hope that before these lines pet into print that the shopmen's strike will be satisfactorily settled. We have no preferences or any pre judices in the fight between the shop men and the railroads. We are not sufficiently informed as to the merits of the case to be able to express an opinion in favor of one side or against the other. In oar ignorance of the justice or iniquity of the strike we believe we are about on a par with the average person. There are many, however, who profess to understand the issues thoroughly. Some of these people write long letters to the papers, and it is amusing to see what distorted notions both sides have of the situa tion. One chap will come forth with a long "effusion" so illuminating - to his way of thinking as to be sufficient to enlighten the whole world. An other chap replies to him in a man ner so clear and lucid in the mind of the answering chap as to be con clusive and unanswerable. All of which proves two things, namely: that there are two sides to the ques tion, and that no one person knows all about the issues in dispute. We have never been able to see any gain from fighting. Individuals have found it to be expensive and "hard on old clothes." The em- ployees and the railroads can fight until neither is able to fight, and the issues remain unsettled.

There is good in both, and both are capable of harm. The railroads have been the great instruments of building the country. : Modern civilization could not endure or go onward but for the great rail roads. Even labor, the very shop men who are striking, could not get (. along without the railroads. And so with the employees, labor. : The world would cease to run indus trially without the man at the wheel. Labor is as necessary as capital. Both are necessary and one cannot . get along without the other. Both are good, indispensably good. Neith er is bad; neither should look upon the other as bad, because neither is bad except as it makes itself bad. The strike can be settled perma nently on one basis; on the basis of justice. If both sides will cease to dissipate their strength and get to gether and discuss their differences - in a spirit of give and take, a settle ment will soon be affected. They will do this sooner or later, so why .procrastinate?

The pipe torn out by the explosion, said to have been from dynamite, has been replaced, and water service re stored to the shops for locomotives and for lire protection. No clue has yet been found as to who set off the explosion that shook the town and left a whole in the ground large enough for a house.
