LONDON. July l1.-A varietyof rea-
sons for the announced rise OF six
shillings ($1.44) in the price of coal
is given and variety of reactions
is forecast. One thing is certain,
clash between employers and en-
ployes, if not between the classes
themselves.
sounder economic policy should
result it is believed. The miners are
losing no time in trying to prove that
a considerable part of the additional
price is going to the owners, though
they admit that two-thirds of it is
necessary to meet the recent wage
increases.
The announcement by Sir Auckland
Geddes, Minister of Reconstruction,
of the government decision to change
the price came as a thuaderbolt, and
in some quarters is regarded as d
political scheme to discredit Robert
Smillie, leader of the miners "The
Star" says the announcement was
made to synchronize with yesterdays
election in the mining districts of
Wales in an effort to win support for
the coalition candidate.
In Economic Tangle
But without speculating on these
charges, it is an indisputable fact that
the Lloyd George government finds it.
self at present in a bad economic
position as direct result of its war
time policies. The Premier maintained
the morale of the masses by granting
liberal wage increases at different
times throughout the struggle apd now
peace has brought reckoningN
A SIX shilling rise in the coal price
means that American coal exporters
can compete with the miners of Great
Britain. Europe offers tremendous
market to-day. For instance, Italy is
suffering for lack of fuel and is nogo-
tlatlng with the United States for coal
and oil because Great Britain is unable
to meet the Italian requirements as
she did before and during the war
Much of the present unrest is due to
unemployment and the latter is direct
~ due to the shortage and high cost
of fuel. Dearer coal means higher
priced manufactured goods and, conse-
quently, higher cost of living.
Coal is the very root of Great
Britain's prosperity. Coal production
has dropped even though more skilled
labor has been released from military
service. The truth is the country has
been living in a false paradise since
the signing of the armistce, what with
high wages, unemployment bonuses
and government subsidies.

WORK FOR THE I. O. B. B.
LODGES.

The lodges of the I. O. B. B. have
again fallen on evil days. They are
becoming atrophied, or are dying
from hamilton. Every kind of Jew
ish work of national scope has
been taken up by other agencies.
Mostly newly-created, created for
the emergency, as for instance the
War Sufferers Relief, the Welfare
Work for the men in the service,
etc. The lodges have been trailing
behind in every procession, or have
not been marching at all.
1t is pity, for after all if the
lodges can find no work of national
scope, they can always find some
tasks of local Importance in their
respective communities. Take, for
instance the matter of Jewish educa-
ton for adults. 1t is lamentable
fact that the adult Jew, born and
raised in this country, has not the
least knowledge of any Jewish sub
ject, neither of the Hebrew Ian
guage, nor of the Bible or any other
part of Jewish literature, nor of

EDl TORlAL
AN ARTISTS MEDIEVAL
THOUGHT.

That John Singer Sargent is
great painter there can be no ques-
ton. But even a great artist may
have his prejudices, his antiquated
notions, his illusions and hallucina-
tons. An artist may even be gross
ly ignorant in some matters. When
Sargent with his magic brush
brought to life the Old Testament
prophets in the panels of the Bos-
ton library, to panels that have SO
greatly and deservedly enhanced
the artists fame, he went for his in
spiration to the Bible, the book
holy to Jews and Christians alike.
He was there on safe ground, for
the prophets of Israel are revered by
Christendom as we'll as by Jewry.
Not so with his recent work, the
two latest panels added to the series,
representing the Church and the
Synagog. Here he draws his in
spiration from medieval Christianity
and it's fountain-head, the New
Testament and the writings of the
Church Fathers. Accordingly the
Church, of course, is the beautiful,
glorious bride of Christ, while the
synagog is the old withered dame,
fallen from the erstwhile state of
o1orv And 81. indeed Sargent rep
resents her, "a grim austere un-
woman1y woman, with blind eyes
and bent head, from which is fall
ing crown; who holds in her hands
a broken sceptre, and clutches to
her breast what is supposed to be
the tablets of the law"
Such is Sargent's medieval
thought of the synagog. Had he
furnished these panels for the Vati-

can, they would have been appropri-
ate enough But as decorations for
the Boston Public Library, they are
about as fitting as would be por-
trait of Lincoln drawn from the i'm
agination of Southern statesman
during the Civil War. In Boston the
Synagog and the Church are prob
ably held in the same esteem by
all enlightened citizens. The COM
monwealth to which Boston belongs
surely considers them as of equal
merit and treats them with equal
fairness. Why, then, should such
a hideous caricature of a sacred in
stitution be allowed on the walls of
Boston's Public Library?
We are therefore, astonished at
the Boston Jewish advocates state
ment that "the. truth is, however,
that none of those who have ex-
pressed opinion on one side or the
other are artists or to any appreci-
able degree competent judges. We
are eagerly awaiting the opinion of
an art critic. who is unbiased in the
matter-who knows art and can
Judge it's merits and demerits." In
other words, if one strikes you a
staggering blow in the face, don't
boiler until you find out whether
the blow was according to the rules
of the pugilistic art or not. 1t will
certainly be no credit to American
Jewry if the panel remains in it's
place only one day after the matter
has been properly presented to the
authorities of the library.

and custom. The exceptions are
very rare. We call this a matter of
local interest only for after all in
such matters each community must
attend to it's own needs
We are all concerned about our
children's education in Judaism, and
we establish Ta1mud Torahs and
Sunday Schools. But education
must be continuous process, and
if it ends at adolescence, it is futile
and Improbable. Why should not
an I. O. B. B. lodge devote itself to
the promotion of Jewish knowledge
among the adults of its community,
if it has nothing else to do, and thus
accomplish something that is worth
while? Is not ignorance the cause
Of SO much de-Judaization, and
sometimes even of apostasy, in Our
midst?
Consider this. Here is a great
University located in the Twin
Cities, and attended by hundreds of
Jewish students. All languages and
literatures are taught there, ancient
and modern, dead and living; and
courses in the histories of all peo-
Piles and all movements are offered
but there is no provision there for
the teaching of Hebrew, Hebrew
literature, and Jewish history, in
which many Jewish student, and
perhaps some Christian students,
too, may be interested. Would not
an I. 0. B. B. lodge do we'll to look
after such a matter, as part of it's
general program of promoting Jew
ish education in the community?
Here is ground that no other or
ganization has as yet pre-empted.
And if one of the objects of the
lodge is "to unite Israelites" in
which object it has lately failed
most signally, then educational
work is surely good and strong
bond of union. 1t is idle for the
lodges to seek to duplicate the work
done by other organizations, and
still more idle to engage in child's
play, and give theatrical perform
ances and matters of similar inter-
est to earnest-minded men. Let
them find a field of their own, and
one of serious and worthy endeavor,
and let them cultivate that.
