The Coal Situation.


In view of the discussion now
on as to the business ability and
general efficiency of Secretary OF
War Baker we are reminded that
It is largely due to him that the
country is to-day confronted
with a fuel shortage, and many
people, especially in the eastern
cities are suffering this winter.
Early last summer Secretary OF
the Interior Lane, who is a
rugged westerner from Cali
fornia, and has a practical heao
ON his shoulders tha at always
works, met with the mine ope-
rators on his own initiative, and
entered into an agreement with
them that the mines would be
run at full capacity, on an agreed
price of So per ton at the mlne.
Immediately there was a great
wall sent up that Mr.. Lane
had been duped into a VICIOUS
contract with the robber barons,
and the matter was taken up in a
cabinet meeting, and almost dis
rupted the cabinet in insisting
that the contract be abrogated-
The very efficient Mr.. Baker was
going to make the mine owners
produce coal for a less figure,
and in sufficient quantities Tor
all purposes, or have the govern
ment take over the properties.
And what was the result? lie
put in all summer dickering to
get operators to come to MS
terms, and with the near ap-
proach of winter the fuel ad-
ministrator had to agree to a
price of $4.95 ton for coal at
the mines, and then it was too
late to get the coal into the
markets for consumption. Mr..
Baker is brilliant lawyer, but
like lots of lawyers he lacks bus1-
ness experience and ability. His
inexperience made it necessary
TO close down the industrial
plants of the country for one
week, and brought untold suffer-
ing to millions of people. Mr..
Lane is a hard-headed business
man, educated in the school OF
hard knocks of the rugged west.
and had Baker kept hands OFT
Lanes coal agreement the people
would have saved at least a dollar
a ton on their fuel bills, and
there would have been an abun-
dant supply for all purposes.
If Mr.. Baker lacked business
acumen in handling the coal sltu-
alton it is fair to assume that in
the larger matter of providing
munitions, equipment and provl-
sions for a suddenly increased
army, he has made the same
dismal failure. Solving knotty
legal problems may require a
brilliant mind and master logl-
clan. but it takes a different
training to handle successfully a
complex business problem, and
for that purpose we prefer a man
who has been trained to quick
action and clear vision in the
commercial world.
