By the time they are upperclassmen, now, in short, what it is all about, not only ards academic learning but also as regards -sity life, which many people consider the al thing of a college education. Junior colleges would deny this to future sity men. Spending their first two years in :ollege where there is little if any spirit, Junior students would enter the University for their o years of work and miss all that they should ained.

At the beginning of the summer THE WoLvERINE found that expenses had increased to such an extent that the advertising rates were necessarily raised to meet in a certain measure the higher operating costs. Some of our advertisers failed to see the justice of the raise, others had to cut down on the amount of advertising, and some of the most loyal ones con- tinued and even increased their space. Many of them, perhaps, fail to see that the money expended for this brings them in actual profits, but their belief in student life and its ultimate growth has caused them to support the publication by their advertising. Through the support of these advertisers, the sub- scribers to THE WOLVERINE are enabled to obtain three times a week reports of past and future events that happen on the campus. The subscription price to the paper does not begin to pay the cost of pro- duction; the advertising makes up the difference. For this reason, the fact that the subscriber reaps the benefits from THE WOLvERINE'S advertisers and that our continuance is made possible through adver- tising, we ask our subscribers to patronize. the firms that advertise in this paper and in so doing to men- tion that they read the firm's ad in THE WOLVERINE. In this way the business houses may soon learn that their advertising does bring in substantial returns. Editorial Comment RUNAWAY STRIKES The strike which has closed 90 per cent of the coal mines in Illinois and threatens to close the re- mainder in the face of the most serious coal situa- tion which the nation has faced in years has been branded by Frank Farrington, head of the miners in this state, as a "runaway strike." When it started among a few day workers in downstate mines Far- rington was reported to have said that he was mak- ing every effort to bring about peace, but was unable to control the men. Now the strike has gained such proportions that it threatens to extend to Indiana, Ohio, and western Pennsylvania. If the day men's demands are grant- ed here it is believed that similar demands and simi- lar strikes will follow in every unionized bituminous coal field in the country. A somewhat similar situation developed in the runaway strike of switchmen last spring. The lead- ers of established and recognized unions asserted they could not cotrol the men. The result is well known. We are still paying the bill in congestion and freight delays. If labor leaders are se powerless to control the men, by what authority do they represent them? If union agreements can be so easily abrogated, of what advantage is ii for employers to make such agreements? "Runaway strikes" are coming to be the greatest menace to the cause of conservative, substantial or- ganized labor that it has ever known. They allow the radical, irresponsible, uncontrolled minority to cast a blight upon the entire union labor cause. The ordinary citizen who makes up the great un- organized mass of the population is not inclined to differentiate between a "runaway strike" and a sane- ly authorized strike when his coal bin is emptied, his supply of food cut off, -or his transportation blocked. The results are what count with him. Generally he will blame these results upon unions, without regard to details. It is a task for intelligent, self-respecting union1 men to see that they and their cause is not so stig- matized. They can do so by seeing to it that "run- away strikes" are deprived of their support, either moral or material, and that leaders who are neither representative nor responsible are likewise deprived of support.-The Chicago Tribune.
