It was not to be expected that the organized trainmen would approve of the appeal of the Pennsylvania rail- road to it's men to stand by the organ ization which has stood by them so we'll But that appeal is a frank and reasonable presentation of the facts, and to the public, at least, seems wholly justified Has the time come when an enployer of labor shall not dare to present his case to his work CTS in the eye of the publics but must ask the consent of the labor union?- New Haven Register.
 We look in vain in any of the party platforms for single word on most vital subject coal. All industry. heaIth and comfort depends on that article which is being controlled and monopolized by a few men to the dis advantage, distress and suffering of the people as whole. Prices are con- stantly advanced in an arbitrary, ruth less and unnecessary manner, which means a heavy burden on the wage earner, yet not one of the political parties has a solitary word to say in his behalf. Does the silence mean in difference, ignorance or cowardice?- Bristol Press.
 The question is often asked: How can the European countries carry the burden of their war debts? They can carry considerable part of that bur den by saving where America wastes. Take our fire waste for example. In the last year for which figures are available, the American people paid $396, ,549,677 as fire insurance premi- unns If our annual fire loss were held down by good construction and good laws to the standards of England, France and Germany, we could save at least $500. 100000 in premiums each year-enough to pay per cent. inter- est on a debt of $6. .000, ,00O, ,0o0. It should be borne in mind, too, that premiums do not represent our total fire cost. There are heavy uninsured losses ev- ehy week, and the expense Of main taining fire departments which can af- ford protection under the conditions which prevail in America is not right E-Meriden Record.
 There are already large cottage communities at some resorts where the dwellings are too densely set, and in tn evacation period they are apt to be much more denSely populated. They may or may not become splendid gen. eral breeding places for disease germs of mild and virulent natures, but there seems to be no doubt that they will qualify as splendid sources of typhoid contamination and as such will threat en the health of the entire state It ! is no small problem that these re- sorts present today to the health au- thorities of the state, but the public
 may well speculate as to the attitude of the health authorities towards the problem. There seems to be little in- c1ination among them to take hold and
 regulate conditions within their re- spective towns until they are serious. Lacking a broad policy and high ef- 6ciency in the health departments of
 many cities and towns, the state has permitted the extension, summer after summer, of outrageous conditions Waterbury Republican.
