Compulsory Arbitration.

There are varying opinions as to the JUS
tice and effectiveness of compulsory arbi-
tTation between employer and employee
when there is a dispute between them which
adversely affects the public interest. 1t
would be strange were there not varying
opinions on such a complex subject. The
public interest" is difficult to limit and de-
fine. 1t is not easy to conceive of any dis
pute between employer and employee involv-
ing stoppage of production which does not,
in some degree, adversely affect the public
interest. But for all that arbitration is COM
pulsory In New Zealand and New South
Wales. There are varying estimates as to
whether it results in good or evil. These
opinions are voiced as rule either by en-
ployers or employees The fact that the
statutes on compulsory arbitration were en-
acted and continue to be the law would tend
to prove that they are supported by public
opinion.
Compulsory arbitration in the coal strike
might serve neither the interest of the oper-
ators nor the miners, but it would subserve
and protect the public interest. The opera
tors have said there is nothing to arbitrate.
The people should decide that point. 1t is
common for men to deny that there is any
reason why they shall be brought into
court.
The officers of the United Mine Workers
are reported through the press adverse to
a compulsory arbitration law. They say,
We do not want to be forced TO arbitrate."
The answer of the people to this might be,
We must have coal"
The preferences of operators and miners
in this matter ought not to weigh. There
are many little preferences, and perhaps
great preferences, which men must forego
as members of society. There could be no
such thing as civil liberty if each man re-
tanned his natural liberty.

Boris on America.

Grand Duke Boris in his talks with
French reporters doth protest too much. He
may not have cut all the capers attributed
to him while he was in America, but that
he was a pretty lively chap during the time
cannot be doubted. He brought not only his
nerve but reputation with him. He had
been heralded as one of the ''swiftest' of
the sprigs of royalty. and there was some
curiosity to see how The large opportunities
of a free country would affect him They
went at once to his head. and the result
was rather freely chronicicd. Whether he
was worth so much of that kind of notice
is a question. But he made rearns of sensa-
tional copy, and al of it found space. Au-
dacious as some of the fakirs are. none is
bold to have attempted to saddle such
stories as pure inventions on man of dig
nifty and propriety. The young Russian
seems to appeal to the Partisan press on
the score of it's Seriousness" Seriousness
is good. It is likewise diplomatic. The
Franco Russian alliance ought to cover his
capers in Paris. whatever the Paris news
papers might feel like saying about HIM.

But He Can Buy Coal.

He worries and frets till dyspepsia sets in,
And all for million or two.
His eyes become weary, his face becomes
thin,
And all for a million or two.
He lives upon foods that are tasteless and
fat,
Or grows apprehensive of being too fat,
Fears nervous prostration. and such things
as that,
And all for million or two.
He gives up the comforts that money
should buy,
And all for a million or two.
He couldn't take rest. even were he to try
And all for a million or two.
But some day he wearies of reckoning his
gold.
And he thinks of humanity. hungry or cold,
And he feels that his life has too cheaply
been sold
For only a million or two

The Strikes Critical Stage.

From the Columbia State
The right to work Is as clear as the right
to strike. On the whole the anthracite
coal miners have conducted their strike
with an unusual orderlness but now that
the mine owners are undertaking to. oper-
ate their properties the strikers are inter
fering In the way that so often has caused
disturbances and bloodshed, and If per-
sisted IN Will do so again The right to
work must be respected and the PennsyI-
vania authorities are merely fulfilling their
obligation TO the state and to society when
they invoke the aid of the militia to up
hold that right. While the strike leaders
who are intelligent men, have counselled
strongly against the of violence it is
too much to expect that they are able to
completely control their followers, many
OF whom are foreigners, many ignorant and
many reckless from despair brought on by
the want now staring them in the face.

Coal and the Outlook,
From the Springfield Republican.


The dark. cool weather Of the past day or
two has brought into the houses of large
majority of the people of this vicinity a
chill which they find themselves unable to
keep out at least for more than a few
days. This Is all forcibly remindful of the
great calamity which is settling down over
the country with the coming on of winter.
The situation is little less than appalling.
and the consequences Of Its continuance to
health and life among the people, and espe-
cially the children of the poor, are some
thing which every mind will shrink from
thinking Of

Lots Of Trouble.
From the Boston Transcript.

pt.
To the prospect of not being able to Sc
cure coal for cooking the beef which we
hope soon to be able to bHy at lower prices,
comes the blight of the report that the
employees of the Armour company at Chi
cago are out on a strike, and rumor of a
scarcity of potatoes being imminent. Ad-
ded to this is the shortage of money at
the centers Of financial operations. With
neither fire, dinner. nor money, we should
be ready for something radical. However,
there Is always hope for conditions in
america. We never do half the foolish
things we appear about to do or allow a

But at any rate soft coal is better than

pneumonia.
Every user of a stove or furnace has OBJ
served that there Is above the fire slide
damper for the admission of air at the sur
face Of the fire. In using hard coal these
hampers are closed when the fire should
draw and opened when the fire Is bright
enough. In the use Of soft coal this top
damper should be kept open all the time.
Soft coal in undergoing combustion hrst
"cokes," and while In this stage 1t requires
more air than passes through the body or
the fuel from the lower draughts. The
open slide damper will let the air pass over
the surface Of the fire and draw the gases
up the chimney.
Under the fire, or In front of the ash pit,
the draught openings should not be as wide
open. or so long open with soft coal In the
CRATE as with hard coal. The same under
draught required to make hard coal glow
will bring about too rapid combustion Of
soft coal.
Care should be exercised to keep the pipe
or chimney hampers open all the time
while using soft coal. so that there may be
obstruction to the passage of gas and
smoke through the chimney. With hard
coal fires these pipe or chimney draushts
are opened until the fire draws sufficient
ly. and then they are turned off so that
too much heat may not escape up the
chimney. This Is loss which must be sus-
tanned in the use Of soft coal.
An important thing to be observed In the
treatment Of soft coal fire Is to poke" it
or pack 1t down from the top. Nearly all
housekeepers understand that 1t Is best to
rake hard coal fire from the bottom. tax
ing out the ashes so that the top of the
fire may fall toward the CRATE, but with the
soft coal fire. 1t should not be raked, but
pushed downward

- * AND MONEY.

NEW YORK Feb. 14-The reaction
which developed in yesterdays stock
market continued this morning. was
checked during the day, and a level of
prices was established substantially
above last night. The market became
unsteady again and closed rather
heavy. The dealing in Colorado & South
ern were on a very heavy scale The
preferred stocks were also strong. The
rumor in the street to account for the
movement is that competition for con-
troll OF the road is going on, probably be-
tween Union Pacific and the Gould in
tereSts.
The strength of Sugar was due to the
decision to take up the Cuban recIproc-
lty question in congress after the war
tax reduction measure is out of the way
Baltimore & Ohio was in very active de-
mand, and more than recovered its semi
annual dividend of 2 per cent, which
came off this morning. Brooklyn Tran
sit made notable recovery from yes
terday's depression. and Manhattan was
strong in sympathy, but Metropolitan
Street Railway fell away over a point at
the last. No public announcement had
been made in the street of the Metropoli-
tan'S readJuStment plan. The Chicago &
Great Western stocks rose from | to 2
points on reports that the company had
acquired the St. Joseph & Grand Island.
Southern Railway preferred rose on the
belief that it is to be placed ON a ) per
cent dividend basis. The advance in
southern Pacific was also resumed for
.Amalgamated Copper was the leader OF
the specialties in point of activity, and
dropped 1ss at one time. The Glucose
stocks lost "a each. Some of the minor
stocks which have recently advanced
suffered particularly from profit taking
in the morning. Burlington, Cedar Rad
ids & Northern jumped points on two
transactions. AS there have been no
gold exports this week, the gain in cash
on the interior movement and on sub
treasury operations is expected to be
fully reflected in tomorrow's bank state
ment, the prospective gain being over
81, 100000 The general expectation is for
a further loan expansion. Reports from
Chicago indicate hardening money mar
ket there and an expectation of an early
return flow of currency to the interior to
meet the VESTS needs for largely in
creased business. The premium on New
York exchange at Chicago fell to 15c per
thousand today, compared with soc pre-
MUM yesterday. Sterling exchange
hardened slightly. The reduction in the
price of gold in London shows that the
pressure for gold from Paris has relaxed
which makes demand upon New York
for gold improbable.
Bonds were again active but the move
ment of prices was irregular Total

CHICAGO CHANGE,

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE bullish ten
dency of Yesterdays markets gave way
tocay to change in sentiment Wheat
was weaker, largely because there was
notnlng to bolster up prices; May closed
3s@1@c down; May corn sc lower and
May oats 1sc lower Provisions closed
212c to TIC down.
Wheat ruled dull and weak through
out the day. Yesterday the hope of a
petter export business and a good short
demand had strengthened the tone ma
terlally To-day, however, there did not
appear the better supporting demand ex-
ptcted, ana there was practically no
short demand. The range was not
large, and there was some recovery to-
ward the end Of the session. May open
ed a shade to 1s@14c lower at 1880 to
aS91@c lower at 78Ac Local receipts
were % cars. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 239 cars, making a total for the
three points of 26S, against 275 last week
were 4O7, 900 bH, compared to 453.0 900 bu a
year ago. Seaboard clearances in wheat
and Hour eQualled 262, 900 bu.. Argentine
shipments were 476,0O0 blu, against $50, 600
Corn trade was small with leaning
most of the time to the selling side,
Lower cables, local selling and an alb
sence of support brought a weak tone
early. The break in wheat helped de-
press prices and after the few commits
sion house buying orders had been filled.
the market sold down. More of the
bearish feeling developed in the South
west and the market went lower Tae
Southwest looked with apprehension On
the approach of spring and its proba&Jt
effect upon winter shelled corn that is
held in elevators. Local scalpers were
bearishly inclined and with such en-
enlargement were free sellers. May
opened lower, but at one time touched
G274Q62$sc, yesterdays close. A sharp
slump to May down to 61%c. The close
was weak CSC lower at 61B@62c Re
ceiptS were 131 cars.
Trade in oats was very small and was
almost featureleSs. There was a small
early demand which strengthened the
lower opening market. May advanced
slightly over yesterdays close at 435sc,
but the drop in other grains brought a
small decline in oats. May closed EASY
sc off at 1890. Receipts were 128 cars
Provisions closed a little lower and
easier, but there was not much DISPOSE
ton to trade either way. Hog receipts
continued large, and there was some sell
ing credited to packers. The grain weak
ness also affected prices; Nav pork clos
ed PFC down at $15.S714; May lard nc
lower at 50 40, and May ribs 21@05c down
at $S.47146S. 80.
