The coal strike isnupon us again.
An agreement of one or two years
seems to be the most that either thel
miners or the operators are wiling
to make, and the result is our per-
iodical economic upheaval called thet
bituminous strike. On one side are
aligned the organized forces of cap-
ital, and on the other the equally well
organized forces of labor, and the
tie-up generally continues until coal
becomes scarce, persons become will-
ing to pay high prices for it, and thej
operators, at the higher prices they
receive, can afford to meet the miners'
demands.
A strike always involves a loss
f somewhere. The periodical spasms
that occur in the coal industry can
mean but one thing-that something
is wrong with the industry. The
trouble does not even seem to lie very
deeply, in this particular line; for it
is an axiom that there are approxi-
mately a third more men engaged in
the mines than are necessary to pro-
duce the coal used.
In other words, every producer of
coal is carrying a dead weight of one-
third of a man in addition to himself.
Even the wildest demands of the oper-
ators do not propose to reduce wages
one-third, and if this extra dead
weight were weeded from the industry
a great step would be taken toward
a solution of the difficulties. If each
average miner could work a full year,
instead of two-thirds, as at present,
he could afford to take slightly less
and still be ahead in the end.
Perhaps the mine operators are
wrong in attempting to reduce the
wages. It is certain that any strike
is a strain on our econpmic structure
and resources, when half a million
men become unproductive. The solu-
tion, wherever it lies ,sliould be
reached as soon as possible, and if it
involves reducing the number of mine
laborers by one-third, that course
should be followed as readily as any
other.

THE GRIDIRON BANQUET
Local, state, and national B. M. 0.
C.'s will meet tonight in the Union
to engage in the traditional razzfest
in which fun will be poked at almost
every man or institution worthy of
the honor. The banquet provides a
single outlet for those connected with
the Univerity'to say what they think
without danger of it coming back to
them. Nothing; is published. - The
Gridiron Knights' banquet is one of
the few campus functions without the
usual "hokum" in its makeup. As
such it is unique and merits the
patronage it enjoys among those
whose opinions really count for some-
thing.
QUESTIONABLE AIDS
Since the marine subsidy bill failed
to pass Congress three years ago, the
Shipping board has endeavored to
advance the interests of the American
merchant rmarine in various indirect
ways. In one of its more recent pro-
posals, it has suggested that Amer-
ilan shipping be allowed to handle
the transport service of the army, the
navy, and the Panama canal. Though
not extensive, this change would like-
ly aid the country's marine by in-
creasing its operations.
Serious objections to the plan, how-
ever, have- been raised on behalf of
the navy department on the grounds
that control by any other group than
itself might become a menace to its
activities. While part of the army
and navy transport service might beI
supplied by outside operators as they
have been during emergencies, the ob-
jection against a separation of the
entire system seems justified. Rather
than endanger the machinery of na-
tional defense, the Shipping board
might seek other indirect aids which
would prove as valuable, if not more
so, to American shipping.
LITTLE PROGRESS
Though its assembly was a move
toward freeing world powers from the
economic burden of armaments and
establishing world peace, the dis-
armament conference now in session
at Geneva has made little appreciable
advance since it convened two weeks
ago.

_EXPEL--DON'T BANIShI
To The Editor:
Prof. A. D. Moore's article in Fri-
t day's Daily has brought to light an
t issue, the solution of which I have
been patiently wa~ting for. It con-
cerns the publication of the names
of the violators of the Honor Code.
Professor Moore admits that the point
is debatable, and yet "if the guilty
one has been convicted under an Hon-
or System that has failed to build up
a general system of student honor,...
then the student body has no right to
use so drastic a punishment as pub-
lishing of the facts amounts to." But
if "all newcomers are made acquaint-
I ed with the prevailing spirit......the
violator has not the least right to ask
for or expect clemency."....because
"his fellow students are playing the
l game squarely and they have every
right to know of those who do not."
I will not suggest that "his fellows"
are not all playing the game, nor
would I suggest that ignorance of the
Code should not to some degree ex-
onerate the offense, but it seems de-
cidedly unfair and unjust to the in-
dividual, and injudicious of those who
impose the punishment that the name
of the culprit should be published as
a warning when making known the
fact of the punishment without at-
tributing it to an individual would
have the same effect.
The duty of the college is to pro-
mote the welfare of its student body,
as a class, and as individuals. When
the offender has erred, the class
shares this responsibility to protect
itself, to protect the college. But
punishment, in the moral sense in
which it is applied to the Honor Code,
is not to revenge and destroy-it is to
protect and correct. The ultimate
end, therefore, is to expel, not to
banish.

STUDENT STICKER TICKET
SWF4EPING VICTORY SEEN
As we go to press, no definite elec-
tion results have come into the Stu-
dents' Sticker Ticket campaign head-
quarters, but officials were confident
that the Student party had carried
the field.

Gargoyle is definitely known to have
swept the city as garbage collector.
Timothy Hay, running for mayor,
did not appear worried last night
when interviewed by this newspaper.
"I know that I carried the sixth ward,
easily," he said. "That is the profes-
sors' stronghold, and they're all sore
at Campbell because he doesn't get
them higher salaries, so they won't
vote for him. And as for the local
Oil King, well, they all have cars."

Estimates of the majority to be
piled up by the student ticket vary
from 10,000 to 100,000, depending upon
who counts the votes.

"If I become mayor," said Hay last
night, "the first thing I will do is tell
ithe police to stop nailing 'no parking'
signs up on trees, as officers of the
law ought to help the state conserva-
tion department in prolonging the life
of our monarchs of the forest."

STABLE MAGNATES PROTEST
AS CO-EDS LOSE HORSES
Dear Tim-Protest has been voiced
by the local riding stable magnates
against the recent tendency of co-
eds to lose their horses. The equine
managers do not mind losing co-eds
but a horse is worth considerable
money it is pointed out, and can't
easily be replaced.
"Last Saturday," Guy Mulliso re-
ports, "Half a dozen co-eds took out
half a dozen of our prize beasts at 4
in the afternoon and didn't get them
back until almost 10 o'clock at night'
-far past the horses' bed time. It
seems they lost themselves in te
country aid made tile horses walk
home."
The managers of the Kentucky
stables, when interviewed by a spe-
cial Rolls correspondent, said "The
bolt has not yet struck us but we fea'
it day by day. All our horses are es-
sentially home-loving beasts, and the
co-eds are a bad influence." ' ,

STILL IN COUNCIL RACE 1
Although the campaign to elect stu-
dents to Ann Arbor's best offices has1
interfered considerably with our elec-f
tioneering for the council job, we are
still in the race. , ,
If elected we promise to do some-1
thing about this system in the library,
where they call in all books a weekt
before vacation starts, on the grounds
that no books must be held out overf

"ANNA CHRISTIE"
God loved Co.edy Club, and "The=
Trumpet Shall Sound" became a most
prosperous venture in spite of all
manner of doubts cast in its face. Al- I
most at the same time Play Produc-
tion and Direction played to a prac-
tical capacity in the new born Uni-
versity theater, and at least a revival
is warranted, if the production is not
too cumbersome to be re-assembled.
All of which goes to prove that the
dramatic season, rather than being
subject to the Lenten slump, seems to
be approaching an apex. This augurs
well for Mimes' forthcoming presenta-
tion of "Anna Christie", which will be
given the first week after spring va-
cation.
The play itself is probably Eugene
O'Neill's best-at least his most pop-
lar-, and the campus seems ready
for more of the type, after the com-
edy of "To the Ladies!" and the top
heavy symbolism of "The Trumpet
Shall Sound." Mr. O'Neill's story of
the lady who loved not wisely but
perhaps too many, and the near-tra-
gedy of her moral redemption, form
an interesting dramatic study, with
the author's ever-present balance of
human values motivating the char-
acters in real and human sequence.
It is an outstanding argument for
those who tell you that O'Neill is the
greatest living dramatist.

PLAY PRODUCTION AND DIREC-
TION
Tryouts for the next play will be
held on Tuesday afternoon through
Friday of this week from 4 to 6
o'clock in University theater. Con-
tinuing the policy of the last play,
any student enrolled in the Univer-
sity may apply for a part.

THE FACULTY CONCERT
A review, by Albert Rice Leventhal.
The eleventh in the series of Fac-
ulty Coheerts, given last Sunday in
Hill auditorium, proved to be quite the
most interesting of the season. We
must htre congratulate the University
Symphony orchestra not only for the
consistent improvement shown dur-
ing the past year, but for the courage
displayed in choosing selections for
this, their last concert.
'Nights in the Gardens ofhSpain'
proved entirely charming. There is
some doubt as to whether De Falla is

justified in his twisting of Spanish
folk rhythms into modernist patterns,
in his employment of the piano as an
orchestral instrument. Certainly, we
might well make the claim that the
orchestration for the band was, on
Sunday, so thick as to permit the
splendid playing of the soloist, Albert
Lockwood, to emerge but at scattered
intervals. The piece, however, proved
riotous with color. The composer
brought to his work an almost per-
feet scenario . It is to the credit of the
orchestra that it failed but seldom
to interpret the setting.
Most conductors are wary of
Beethoven's Second Symphony, an un-
even and experimental work. After
the line of Mozart, the symphony calls
for a painful degree of finesse in per- I
formance. Yet the work is Beethoven,
and obiviously superior to the popular
'Coriolanus' overture. The orchestra,
despite the frequent bewilderment of
the horns, succeeded in giving a real-
ly fine interpretation of the work, ris-
ing to new levels in the second, the
