SOUND BUSINESS ADVICE

Secretary Redfield, speaking in
California, talked sanely about the
relation of the foreign market to
domestic industry. Far from decry-
ing the enterprise which induces
American manufacturers to dump
products abroad, he declares the
effort to keep establishments run
ming regularly, even though at
times it necessitates some apparent
sacrifice of prices in expanding the
market, ought to be understood and
encouraged.
The market of the whole world Is
steadier and more uniform than that
OF any single country, the Secretary
adds; and in this he is unguestion-
ably correct. Nowadays, we are
coming to appreciate the great
economic Importance of having labor
constantly employed. Whatever gives
promise of making work regular
and continuous throughout the year
is to the general interest. Suppose
n manufacturer sacrifices his profits
n turning out a bill of goods for
4 foreign market? If he didn't pro-
duce those goods, he might have to
lay off his hands for a time. The
community at large can take its
choice between the two possible
ways of caring for those employees.
Either it can support them in idle
ness. as additions to the army of
unemployed; or it can assent to their
being employed part of the time
making products for the foreign
market, perhaps not always at di-
rect profit, and make up the loss to
the employer by paying him, for that
part of his outturn that is consumed
at home, large enough profit to
make up for the sacrifice of profit
on his foreign sales.
in the end, the two methods
would be likely to bring about the
same general result to the consum-
ing public, but it would be vastly
better to have men employed all the
time, and industry maintaining its
organization and operations with
out any cessation.

A DETERMINATNE BAT
TIE?

The early reports of great bat
tie around Torreon, Mexico, do not
seem to be borne out by any detail
ed information from the front For
weeks it has been understood that
both sides were preparing for a
great struggle there. Should the
rebels win, the way to Mexico City
would be open to them, and the fall
of Huerta might follow much as did
that of Diaz.
But in the conditions which exist
today it is to be doubted whether a
single battle will be very determina-
tive of anything. Mexico's civil
war is not to be compared with a
great struggle between highly con-
centrated forces, such as the war be
tween our own sections, or the
Franco German war. No vast domi-
eating forces are in the field on
other side. There is not a sufficient
concentration of power in one place,
and is not likely TO be, to make a
single battle settle the whole issue.
Mexico City is more likely to fall as
the result of a gradual wearing
down of the economic resisting
power of Huerta, than as the re.
suit of battle or an assault.

road company; but the railroad COM
pany itself, in its corporate capacity,
did not have any holdings in the
Sales Company. This plan was pre-
sumed by the lawyers to be sufficient
to evade the force of the former Su-
preme Court decision.
Attorney General McReynolds,
after investigation. is convinced that
the new plan is mere evasion. The
Coal Sales Company is alleged to
have enjoyed immense profits, and
in effect at least it is charged that
the relations between it and the rail
road company are such that no bet
terment has been effected in the
general condition of the coal mar
ket. The rates to the seaboard have
been maintained at very high fig
ures, according to the complaint,
and ,the Sales Company has enjoyed
in effect monopoly.
1t seems apparent that the Gov
ernment's charges are justified.
General understanding of conditions
in the anthracite business is that
they have not been improved, SO far
as concerns the consumers interest,
since the Government won its former
suit. The consumer. at any rate,
finds himself unable to detect
wherein he has been helped in re-
gard to the price he pays. The
whole situation is one that justifies
further effort at getting some real
benefits for the public. If the pres
ent laws are not sufficient to do
more than disturb financial condi-
tions, while failing entirely in pass
ing some tangible benefits along to
the overcharged consumer of an
thracite, there must be improve
ments in the laws.
The alternative to that improve
ment will one day be direct Gov
ernment supervision of mining, or,
that failing, Government ownership
and operation of mines. In Prussia
they have come to just that deci-
sion, and today an owner of coal
bearing land in that country may
not open and operate a mine in his
own land. If he had the mine in
operation before the law passed, the
government does not insist on inter
fering; but none the less it has
taken over large mining interest,
and is insisting that no more private
mines shall be opened.
During the great anthracite strike
early in the Roosevelt Administra-
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt considered seri-
ously the possibility that he might
be compelled to put the army in con-
troll in the anthracite section. and
put the miners back at work as
means to save the country from
great disaster. He vas not willing
to let the people freeze and the
industries shut down, for
want of coal, merely in order that
a quarreling group of capitalists
and labor organizations might have
the satisfaction of fighting their diff
ferences to a finish regardless of
else's interest. The time
may come again when such an alter
native will be considered; and in the
present state of public sentiment. it
might be very uncertain about Gov
ernment operation of mines, once
being brought to an
end easily.
