BUSINESS MAN BADLY NEEDED.
Industrial Suspension Has Cost Coun
try Billion and Half Already.

Government mista kes in the past are
largely responsible for the present
shortage Of coal and the closing Of
factories and stores The need of an
experienced man of business as fuel
administrator is imperative, for the re
lief that IS in sight is only temporary.
Saving coal h. shutting down industries
IS not satisfactory TO country en-
gagged III a war which calls for every
available pound of fuel. Fortunately
there is no difficulty in placing the di-
rect blame for the predicament forced
upon manufacturers and merchants
the man or men who arbitrarily re-
jected price fixing based upon knowl-
edge of the coal situation should be
&ummarily relieved of the power of 10
ing further mischief of the same kind
Secretary Lane and the coal pro
ducers after fair and full exchange
CT views agreed upon price Of S.
& ton. st this figure practically all the
operators would have kept their mines
running. But the secretary of war
without regard for economic condi
tions, ordered the price cut. There
upon large proportion of the operators
suspended work-thcT refused to pro
duce coal at a loss Then towing tugs
were taken of the barge routes by
government order, and New England
was deprived of its usual transporta
ton facilities during the time most ia
yorable for moving coal by water, not
withatanding repeated and emphati
protests by the men best fitted t.
speak for this part of the country.
The money loss caused by the sus
pension of industry is estimated a
from $300,OO0,000 to $l,500,0o0, 600. A
$3o0,000,00O, az New York coal tx
pert points out, the loss is equal to tn
cost of 100,00o,o0o tons Of bituminou
coal at the mines at the price agree
npon at the Lane Peabody conference
The highest estimate of loss, if COZ
rect, represents the nation s bitumi
nous coal bill for whole year Ho7
can the country afford to> take furthe
chances of laundering by the official
who have demonstrated their unftnes
for dealing with the coal problem ?

Hail, fair and majestic Empire,
From ages beyond our ken
The hope and the home of Freedom,
The love and the fear of men,
For one with the seas thy splendor,
And one with the winds thy way,
And the web of thine endless story
Is woven by night and day
OF Ocean S infinite travail,
Criss-crossed with the to and fro
OF thousand keels returning,
A thousand that outward go;
For a might that is elemental
Hath builded thee there sublime,
And he that would break thy bulwarks
/ Must carry the walls of Time.

And We that marvel whereof we sing,
Look up and behold a wondrous thing,
How folk upon folk adult and free,
Builders of Britain bcyond the sea,
Whose valour and worth
Enzonc the earth,
Yet babe-like yearu to their Mother s
knee,
With home-felt rapture renown her
reign,
And thrill to the tones of her triumph
strain.
