The Pot Calls the Kettle Black.

The hard coal operators have acquired a
talent for blunderlng which leads them from
one absurdity II another. Their capacity
in this direction was disp!s ved in a measure
last week when they confronted the Presi-
dent with propositions and statements cal
culated to arouse public sympathy for their
opponents and to strengthen Mr.. Roose-
Yelts inclinations toward the strikers.
FIlppant answers to questioners after the
meeting indicated that these people had no
conception of the gravity of the case or
their responsibilities. Their conduct toward
the political leaders confirmed the notion.
Now comes Mr.. WICK of the Delaware
and Hudson railroad, and, speaking not
only for that corporation but also, it is
understood, for all the coal operators, asks
President Roosevelt to prosecute the
miners union an Illegal organization,
under the Sherman antitrust law.
This is so preposterous. coming from
such a source, that it Is impossible of
grave consideration. Mr.. Wilcox speaks for
what is one of the most perfect monopolies
now in existence. the hard coal trust. That
combination of corporations. whether
bound together by mere agreements or by
formal contracts, is in fragrant defiance OF
the federal law.
The United Mine Workers includes prac-
tically all the certified hard coal miners
1t enjoys a monopoly of labor field 1t
has proved its ability to stop hard coal
mining save to the extent of perhaps -
per cent of the normal output 1t MAJ
therefore. be considered a trust But it
has no less right TO existence than the
Hher trust, which il faces in this con-
test The law specifically limits the supply
OF licensed miners. Those miners have seen
fit to associate themselves and ask to be
dealt with as a body rather than as in
dividuals Until the law requiring the GER
tihcatio of miners is repealed there can be
no legal ground for assailing the organiza-
ton.
This contribution of Mr.. Wilcox TO the
literature of the coal strike Is important
1t more fully reveals the inability of the
coal operators to farther han their
own noses or to measure their resp1nsf-
biiity.

be. there is very little ground in the oper-
ators' own statistics for congratulation or
for hope Of the early supply Of the market
at the present rate OF gain.
Last year during the six weeks ending
October IL the total hard coal product was
6,6S0000 tons. This year the correspond
ing period yielded only $1,000. deficiency
of 6.071 900 tons, or at the rate OF
1,O10.166 week. The weekly output this
year has increased from the start OF the
period. the total increase from first to last
being $1,000, or at the rate OF 500 tons a
week. This weekly increase has nuctuated
from 1900 tons to 22.00O. $4,000. $4,000 and
finally to 5000. So it will be seen that it
has not been steady. Therefore the aver
age Of increase Is fair basis Of computing
the probable duration OF the shortage, save
for the influence Of the troops at the mines.
At the rate Of 13, 400 tons a week increased
product 1t will require 297 weeks for the
mines to reach the last years rate of yield.
This Is of course an impossible condition.
The country could never endure such
slow process. Therefore the mines must
be worked at faster rate Of gain. The
presence Of 1900 troops In the anthracite
region, for several weeks has not enabled
the operators to do better Ten thousand
are now on guard and there is compare
lively little rioting, and yet the certified
spicuous numbers. The strike seems rather
to have been made more perfect than be-
fore through the presence Of the troops.

President Baer.

In all the exciting developments of the
past fortnight nothing stands out quite so
conspicuously as the unattractive personal
ity of President Baer The impression he
has created is distinctly and widely I'M
favorable He may be Indifferent to the
fact that he has injured himself, but he
ought not to be to the fact that ne has
injured his cause. He has injured that,
most decidedly.
Mr. Baer may be an able man. He may
desire above all things to serve the inter-
ests he represents with fidelity. But he
seems to be wholly lacking in diplomacy
and address. He is as hard as nails. His
bearing toward the President of the United
States in the conference at the White House
last week, and toward Governor Odell at the
conference in New York yesterday, could
not possibly have been worse. On neither
occasion did he seem at all impressed with
what a man in his position should have
weighed with the utmost respect and care.
He resented the interest of both Mr.. Roose-
welt and Governor Odell in the coal strike
as an impertinence. Mr.. Roosevelt with
admirable selfpossession, made no sign. Mr..
Baer was his guest by invitation. Gov
ernor Odell. who was comforting with Mr..
Baer at business Office. spoke up and re-
buked him He did right.
A complaint often made in times of strike
is that capital will not confer with labor. or,
If 1t consents to confer, carries itself often
Sively toward labor. This is not always
true. But would it be difficult to persuade
anybody that in the case of Mr.. Baer
labor must have a hard time of it? Is it not
easy to imagine Mr.. Baer's carriage at a
conference with labor. if meeting with
such a man may be called a conference?
One has only to consider the tone he holds
with the highest officials in the land to ap-
preciate the embarrassments of labor in his
presence. The wonder is that labor, after
one experience, should care to meet him
again
Firmness is a great trait. But it is al
ways weakened a weapon when allied
with gruffness and intolerance and bad
manners. 1t accompishes best results when
allied with patience and politeness, and es-
pecially when the question at issue is Of
public interest and of complex nature
Whether Mr.. Baer cares to admit it or not,
this is not a contention simply between him
self and John Mitchell. but a matter now
of pressing national concern.

Indian Summer.

Howdy, Mr. Indian. with a blanket on YOUR

It's likely that you haven't saved a cent.
Your humble domicile has gone completely

And you have never thought of paying

You have natural enmity to water and to

Your alcoholic habits a disgrace:
You borrow your tobacco and you humble

And are wholly a discredit to your race.
Yet when the seasons afterthought makes
radiant the scene
And summer comes to fling a farewell kiss.
And earth and sky are blending in a har-
mony serene
To bring about a day Of perfect bliss.

The Pressing Problem.

Each days passage adds 10 the dilemma
or the householder Probably not one in a

Some have enough to last a month with

Gas will not serve as an economical substi-

outlay when used for heating equal to that

vantage of gas N this emergency is that it
can be paid for monthly. and, furthermore,

secured.

The Immediate Issue.

From the New York Herald
The immediate issue in the coal strike is
not 10 be hidden In the dust that is being
kicked up by the politicians-one set of them
believing their only hope Of success lies In
protracted disturbance and public calamity.
while their opponents are impelled to secure
a speedy settlement even at the sacrifice
OF principle. AS the public is in sad need
of coal it naturally tends to sympathize
with any effort to secure a prompt resump-
ton OF mining operations but there should
be no politics in the matter-it is a social
ana economic, not a partisan, question. The
Immediate and imperative demand Of the
moment is the enforcement OF law in the
coal regions. the prevention OF the outrages
that are daily reported and the afrordine
or full and absolute protection to the men
who desire to work and to their families.
This is a free country, and one man must
be as free to labor another Is to strike
