PUBLIC UP AGAINST IT.

Again the public is cup against
it, says the Fort Worth Record
of Sunday alluding to the coal
strike in effect Monday. And
continuing, the same paper com
ments as follows:
The coal operators and the
coal miners are unable to agree
aud 800, 900 men tomorrow will
quit work. Production of the
most important commodity in
modern life will cease untll such
time as an agreement may be
reached.
The operators will lose their
profits, but they will recoup in
higher prices hereafter The
miners will lose their wages,
but hope to recover by the in
creased schedules for which
they now strike.
The public will pay both bills.
That wouldn't matter so much
since the public always pays
everything, if the public could
get the coal But it is helpleSS.
The coal is the private prop.
erty of the owners and the work
which puts 1t on the market is
the private property of the
miners.
The operators can't be com
PEELED to operate; the miners
can t be compelled to labor.
Here is where the Socialist
gets in his argument, and it is
powerfully persuasive under cir
cumstanceS like these. He con-
tends that coal is public ne
cessity; that it should be owned
by the government; then the
greed of the operators and the
desire of the miners to better
their condition could not inter.
fere with the public's comfort
and the public's business.
In this particular instance,
the Socialist has us on the hip.
Individualism has made a bad
break, and there's no denying
it, Property rights and person
al rights are at outs and there's
no lawful process to make them
harmonic.
We can only answer that we
have somehow managed hereto
fore and we shall somehow man
age hereafter, but that isn't
digging coal and the engine
won't run on optimistic philoso-
ply.
All of which suggests that in
divldualistic government must
amend itself in some fashion or
suffer these recurring incidents
of inefficiency and distress.
