miners. 1t might be depended upon to
inspire constructive policy of opera
tion in the coal fields. Mining is still
haphazard business. A federal commits
sion, acting with the authority of Con-
gress, might be expected to improve not
only the technique of coal production, but
to establish the whole business of fuel
distribution upon a more efficient and
even more profitable basis.
The approach of presidential year
has left Congress dumb in this crisis.
The responsibility therefore lies with
the President.
Industrial disputes will have to be
dealt with in a new way. They have
come to be like war. They are too costly,
too destructive to be tolerated quietly
and left to accidental adjustment. We
shall have to deal with causes. For the
present we are dealing only with effect.
The country is mystiied now because
it hesitates to believe that coal operators
arc unprincipled, mad with greed, blind
to the responsibilities of citizenship.
Similarly the people know that the min
ers' leaders are not Bolsheviki. Tetlow,
one of the men arraigned for contempt
at indianapolis yesterday, has recently
returned from France. He happens to
have been an efficient machine gun cap
tain on the American side. Green, an
otheR of the accused, was formerly
respected member of the Ohio Senate.
It is when you look even little way
beneath the troubled surface of coal
strikes and other strikes that you be-
come aware Of the great need Of the
hour. That need is sympathetic knowl-
edge OF human motives, AS well as d
knowledge of economies, in any one who
must direct great economic readjust-
mcnts.
So, in the end, there will not only have
to be federal commission to keep peace
and prosperity in industrial fields where
now there is battle and loss; there
will have to be a permanent tribunal
administering a great new code of indus
trial relationships.
This Congress may shrink from the
prospect. Another will not.

The Burning Question

The Burning Question
The morning dawns. the day arrives.
And forth to busy little hives
Of industry and marts of trade
Go slaves. who toll till sun rays fade
Six days week.
BY nine a. m. work has begun
Most earnestly, but qups of fun
Crop out anon the day to brighten
And otherwise the minds enlighten
OF those who toll.
Throughout the day these slaves are seen
A -wooing Lady Nicotine;
Other slaves for divers reasons
Have rotation of the seasons
Wherein they smoke.
Though many smoke. and some are known
To carry smoke stuff of their own,
Permit us to present the blokc
Who springs the little hourly joke
Have you match!
In this great world there may be those
To whom the world living owes
AT least that is the creed they preach
Too tight or tired to even reach
For their desires,
| sing, however, of the boke
Who needs match to start his smoke;
With bland assurance-'tis no jest
He'll from the world a match request,
And GET it, too.

Perhaps Germany signed the peace treaty

is an official whose loss has been keenly
felt by that corporation Mr.. Patton retired
some months ago to enjoy the pleasures and
comforts of private life after half a century
snpp+ in the Pennsylvania S service.
For a generation and more he had kept
his fingers upon the pulse of Harrisburg.
Every piece of legislation directly or indi
rectIy affecting railroad interests for forty
wears had been scrutinized by him. He
became a perfect encyclopedia of political
and legislative knowledge.
lie knew every public man of Importance
and a good many of no Importance in the
state for forty years His personality
achieved as much for the corporation of
which he was an official during those years
as tbe political influence of the corporation
itself Keen, courteous, far visoned, he
yielded a power second only to that of his
Immediate superior, the president of the
system. ~
He was, moreover an unfailing Judge of
character in men. Some of the highest off =
Gals of the Pennsylvania today owe their
advancement to his ability to estimate char
acter.

railroad systems of this country revert to
their owners, ii will be q mighty good thing
for those who have among their officials a
William A. Patton to lend hand in recon,
