The business community And the consuming public have never correct­ ly figured what'it costs to ran an in­ dustry in an irregular way. One reason alleged by the soft coal miners for striking is' that they have to loaf a good deal of the time when the demand for coal is small. Now when this condition prevails in an in­ dustry, it follows that higher wages have to be paid during the limited time when the work is going on. - If such industries could he so stabilized that they would ran evenly through­ out the year, then it would not cost so much to get the work done. It is claimed that in regard .to the coal industry that this can’t be done, as such more coal is used in the win­ ter. But if the public could only realize the additional cost of run­ ning an industry in an intermittent they would see that it would pay to co-operate anti spread their purchases evenly .through the year, so that the industries could run On a minimum cost. It is usually possible fp buy coal cheaper in the spring than in the fall. It would seem as if railroads, manu­ facturers, and the public generally ought to see that it would be for their interest to buy more coal in the spring so that the mines could run regular­ ly at a minimum expense. A great many labor troubles could bo avoided if .the industries could op­ erate on this even basis through the year. And in most cases, they would rttn this Way if the public saw advan­ tage and necessity of it and would distribute their purchases evenly through the year, There ought to he a nation wide campaign for the purpose o f ' stabi­ lizing all intermittent industries. The public should be persuaded to distribute their purchases so . that shops and mines would run regularly j and avoid the periods of unemploy­ ment that bring suffering to the'wor­ kers and create social Unrest. j Persian Cookery, ' 1 Cookery among the weil-to*do class­ es in Persia la extravAgant—partly be - 1 cause they are lavishly hospifable, partly because all house servants are fea from the leavings of the master’* table.
