OWNERSHIP OF THE COAL MINES

tn the Editor OF the Tribune.
SIR. In nu the discussions about the
coal trust there IS one peculiar fact tha'
is carefully hidden from public view
This fec, IS that tho coal mines ana "na'
aro called the coal roads Of PennsyiVahi@
are owned by foreign capitalists rep'o-
scented IN this country by J. /. Morgan q
co and Kuhn, Loeb &; Co.
When these two international oanKlhs
houses bought out the trust some Twelve
Years ago Il was English and German cap
ital that financed the deal This transac-
ton goes far to explain why II was thaI
the British government reversed It's ira
ditional policy and imposed a duty on coal
exported from It's own mines after the
wear 1900 It was conserving It's own re-
sources and exploiting ours for tho bene-
fit Of lts own capitalists
When this fact becomes more generalIy
known. when tho American people begin
20 realize that IL IS a clique OF alien cap
!tailets which profits by the monopoly then
the campaign against eXtortion which the
Tribun. has Waced Will COON bear fruit.

THE TALK or THE DAY.

The problem Of making Sweden inde-
pendent OF foreign coal has lately been re-
ceivlng much attention. and experiments
have been made with peat from bogs In
Northern Sweden. The peat was permit
ted 10 dry for one summer and then crushed
TO fine powder. This is further dried In
ovens containing several sections, the hot
test section being on top Heating re-
quires twenty minutes, which makes the
pulverlzed peat black and reduces the
water content To 10 per cent The ovens
have II capacity OF twenty-five tons daily.
and are fred with tho powder. which sells
at the factory for s. q a ton. II may also
bo used for boilers. and the state railway
authorities are experimenting with IT. Gen
orally, however. the tests have not proved
satisfactory from an economic and business
point" Consul General Harris reports from

ENJOTVED BY 4 MEMBER.

In the Philadelphia proceeding enJoln-
inc an organization OF railroad labor
men from taking n vote on the question
Of striking the first use is said TO have
been made by q labor union member 81
the lniunctiye process TO restrain un-
wise leadership Of his union. In this
instance certain unions, after negotiating
with the Pennsylvania Railroad, were
about TO vote on the question of strike
when the Injunction was obtained against
one Of them on the alleged ground that
this organization-the firemen's union
was participating illegally in the nego-
tiations. II not unique, this action IS
certainly unusual.
Yet this is a use Of injunctions which
would be beneficial 10 organized labor.
Union members need protection from
unwiSe and reckless leadership. Whether
the fircmenS union enjOincd In Phlla-
dclphia has violated its bylaws or not,
II is not an uncommon thing for labor
leaders 10 call strikes without proper
authority and in violation of the rules ot
their national organization. II hap
pcned I'm the recent newspaper strike III
Chicago and in ihe last big traction en-
ploycs strike in this city.
Strikes called in violation NJ organ
ization rules are generally lost and fre-
lead To the cauceilinG or the
charter of the striking union by the ma
tional body to which il is subject. 1hey
inhict hardship upon the unions mem.
bcrs The iniunctive process might he
employed as a protection against them
by any union member who knows that
they are being improperly called. Yet
If the anti-lnjunction bill pending IN
Congress becomes a law this protection
10 union members against reckless lead
ership will be practically withdrawn.
From the union members point Of view
there is another side 10 the injunction
question than that which IS being urged
upon Congress by the labor leaders.

SLLGHrEn COLOR1DO.

1t is really q pity that the proposed
contest against the Taft delegates from
Colorado has been abandoned. The fact
that the contestants didn't have ie-
TO stand on did not in the least differ
entiate them from most Of the other con
tcstants. who. as even the Roosevelt mem
berS Of the national committee agreed,
we're without the slightest title 10 seats.
The Taft delegation from Colorado was
chosen in cOncedeGly regular fashion
hy a convention in which the Roosevelt
supporters participated and were out-
voted. The only ground for contest was
a belated discovery that the convention
did not properly represent the people
So a sort of mass meeting delegation was
organized q few days ago, which under
took the self-imposed duty Of speaking
for the people" Of Colorado at Chicago
II is true that some of the strongest
Roosevelt men i'm the state would have
nothing 70 do with the movement MIR
Stewart. q Progressive candidate for
Governor. declared it was without merit
He had gone into the convention and
been outvoted and he saw no excuse for
not abiding by the result Nevertheless,
it was planned 10 send a delegation
headed by Judge Z. Il. Lindsey, an
Independent in politics, to support MIR
Roosevelt at the Republican National
Convention.
But now "the people" Of Colorado are
TO be left 10 the representation or mis-
representation of the delegates chosen in
the regular way. 1t must be because
cake" contests have already been sufii-
ciently discrcdited by the activities Of
Ormsby McIlarg for certainly these
Colorado cxpOncntS of the voice Of the
people had credentials quite as good rs
those fabricated by Mr.. Mcliarg in some
of the Southern states after the regular
procedure Of choosing delegates had re-
suited IN favor Of Mr.. Taft. If Senator
Dixon can find excuse for denOuncing as
robbery the decision in the 9th Alabama
case I'm face Of Cecil Lyons vote for the
Taft men and Sidney Richer's subSe-
Qucnt statement that he would have
voted the same way, though he is n
Roosevelt man, IL some Of the evidence
presented had not escaped hin, he need
not have been squeamish about pushing
the Colorado case as a foundation for
still further Outcry. When conteStng
delegates are sent riding for fail there
j. 10 use In being too particular. The
pose Of martyrdom would have been as
effective over PROSTATE Colorado as over
bleeding Alabama. Senator Dixon has
not given his Rocky Mountain friends Il
fair show The Independent Judge Lind
sey was entitled to the distinction of
bayinc been maltrcatcd in his efforts 10
serve the people. II would have been
useful 10 him and his associates. II is
unjustly humiliating to them TO send
them trailing back 10 Denver without
even the satisfaction Of being turned
down by Il unanimous vote Of the ma
tional committee.

CONGRESS- AND THE COAL PRICES.
Congress should pass the Difenderier
resolution calling upon the Secretary Oh
Commerce and Labor, through the Bu-
raau of Labor. to investigate the eXtor-
tiopate increase in anthracite coal prices.
This resolution, improved and strength
eued as it has been in committee, mas
been unanimously reported by the House
Committee on Interstate and torelSn
Commerce. The need of official action Is
cmphasizcd by each development OF the
coal operators plans. The raid when
they are making oil the publics S pockets
turns out 10 be much greater than II
seemed 10 be when The Tribune demon
stratpd that S15.OO0GO0 was 10 be eX-
torted from the consumers in order to
meet a raise Of SG.0O0,OO0 In wages.
When the increase Of - cents ton upon
domestic sizes of anthracite was an
nounccd it was said by the operators
that the domestic sizes would have 10
hear all the added cost Of production, be-
cause competition with bituminous coal
would prevent Increasing ti' i'iNNS Va
steam sizes. But the prices of steam
sizes are higher than they were last year.
The operators were not satisfied with
! the huge addition 70 profits which they
would realize through advancing the
price OF domestic sizes. This reaching
out for more profits bears out The
/ Tribune when it said that only vigorous
action would prevent the public from
being further taxed by the greedy com
bnation.
/ such an Investigation rs Representa-
+ tive Difendcrfers resolution purposes
would be sure TO bring out facts that
would compel action Icy the Interstate
+ Commerce Commission upon the eXccs-
sive freight rates on anthracite These.
with the virtual rebates from them
granted to independents selling their
coal TO railroad subsidiaries, are the key
TO the situation. They are the source
Of the monopoly. They enter into the
high price of coal Real relief for the
consumer may come through action upon
| them.

ARTNING TIE TNIY RLLE.

The Democratic State Convention in
Ohio showed bad faith ana gross incOn-
sistency last week when il voted 10
bind the district delegates chosen at the
primary election Of May Il by the unit
rule. The plan for electing delegates to
Baltimore adopted by the state commit
tee contained no provision for tying the
hands Of the delegation. 1t contem-
plated the election Of forty-two district
delegates by the voters Of twcnty-One
districts, each district acting indepen-
dently. and the choice of six delegates
at-large by the candidate getting plu-
rality IN the whole state on the prefer
ental vote. Nothing was said about the
possibility OF the state conventions over
ruling the verdict given in the districts,
acting separately, for the obvious rea-
son that such notice would have made
the district elections farce

which mean nothing. If the state CON
