"THE HARD COAL DEADLOCK"
Why Arbitration Should Be Resorted 70
Before the Evil Is Suffered.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As a regular reader Of your columns rerui,
me to say that like your editorial this morning
headed The Hard Coal Deadlock" II has ths
right ring about it You are correct IN saving that
the last answer OF the operators 70 the miners "s
disappointing in its spirit; that while il is
''phrased with courtesy and moderation. its tone
is too suggestive OF unconcern." There Is
widely prevailing idea that the operators want a
strike. and IL Is up 20 them 20 come down OF
OF the high horse on which they have climbed and
show that they have been misiudged- There are
eighty or more million people who are looking on
the prospect Of a coal strike with fear and treu-
bling. and are anxiously asking. Can there not
be something done 10 avert this threatened calam-
ity2' No one wants a strike unless It be the
operators and dealers. who may hope 10 enrich
themselves by increased prices for the vast store
houses OF coal already mined. II goes without
saying that the public has to pay the cost o, all
such strikes II this strike should last a few
months. not only would the miners lose millions IN
wages, but the people would be taxed other millions
IN increased prices for COAL and business in general
might be paralyzed in way from which our coun-
try would not recover in years
Mr.. Editor. cannot something be done now 70
avert this? II the strike comes and continues
after millions have been lost in wages. after maca

Why not have the arbitration before the evil :
suffered? II is an old saving that an ouacs q I,
would be worth tons OF cure Let the peope

After year or two OF dirt and disruption
lower Broadway, from City Hall Park to Bowl

OF the street with wooden blocks. which will

change IS desirable ii must be sought In the
bar rather than in the judges, who seem faith
fully to carry out the policy which those who
practise in the courts approve
The lawyers certainly like the state court.
Perhaps this Is because they are in general
more familiar with It's practice. The haoit of
going there with most of their cases may also
lead them TO go there when they have choice.
The lawyers who try cases for appeals not for
verdicts. and by their methods of practice have
built up our over-technical system, like it, and
the very virtues of the federal tribunals are to
them Il fault. 1t may be that the federal courts
are less responsive TO the spirit of the commu-
nifty; that the state courts. being more demo-
cratic, more closely reflect the attitude of the
public as well as the bar toward the admins
tration of justice. Possibly if our courts are
to do more exact justice, our people must learn
really TO want more exact justice

While most geologists and men of science who
have given expression 10 their views as to the
cause of the earth convuIsion which so suddenly
shattered one of Americas great cities are
prompt and emphatic in affirming that the San
Francisco earthquake had connection with
the eruption Of Vesuvius, IT is notable that John
Milne, the seismologist and inventor of tnstru-
ments to record vibrations of the earth is far
less positive. In his Judgment it is impossible
to determine whether or not there was any such
connection, and opinion either way is merely
speculative

DR.. Emil Reichs latest stunt" in remaking
the history of the world is the amazing pro-
nouncement that columbus had the idea of
America in his head before he discovered that
Continent. and If America had not been there.
"still Columbus would have discovered IT," The
fact is that, instead Of having "the idea of
America In his head" Columbus cherished a
positive disbelief in the existence Of any such
continent. holding with Isdore OF Seville that
there were only three continents in the world,
and that all that was not Europe or Africa must
be Asia; and he stuck to that belief TO the end
of his life. realizing, in this world. that It
was a new continent he had discovered, and not
merely the eastern coast Of Asia But perhaps

COUNTY WILL BUY SUPPLIES
Judges Fix that Feature OF Rules
that Govern the Jail
Administration.

The district judges were busy most OF
yesterday wrestling with the revision of the
rules that are to govern the county Jail
hereafter. From the bits OF Information
that have leaked out on the subject, It
seems fairly certain that the revised rules
will provide for the county buying all fur
nishings for the jail as at present.
Sheriff Mcdonald and his attorney, A. W.
Jefferis, appeared before the Judges, set
out their view of the statutory provision
and indicated what they would like to have
embodied In the rules. The sheriff has felt
that he should be allowed to provide the
furnishings required. In the way of bed
ding. eating utensils, clothing and things OF
that sort and be recompensed by the county
for the use of the same In connection with
the feeding of the inmates. After discus
sion, the judges are thought to have
reached a different conclusion. towit: That
the county buy in open market whatever
may be necessary for the maintenance Of
the jail outside OF feeding the prisoners
and then pay the sheriff whatever the COM
missoners may decide IL fair for the latter
service.
