Lady Astor's Candidacy.

This is taken from London cable
"The selection Of Lady Aston as the
official unionist candidate for Ply.
mouth, in succession Of her husband
Tiscount Aston, provokes comment
not only serious, but also in 4 lighter
vein, from London newspapers Some
papers speculate regarding the head
gear which Lady Aston will wear in
parliament, in view Of the important
part which members hats play as a
property in the proceedings"
Humor of this sort was INDUCED in
over here when Miss Rankin offered
for Congress. How would she dress
the part of legislator Severely
after the old-time fashion, which was
rigid in its rule as to men9 Or com
fortably, after the new-time fashion
And what difference would she make
in her appearance for set speech
and that for an everyday running de
bstes And how would she feel and

would be her style of conversation in

Miss Rankin tsok' the chat good
Astaredly, and, subsequently. as .
member Of the House, showed how
easy it was to answer such questions
She dressed for the House as for 6
street promenade, or a shopping ex
Pedition. She did not look out OF
place or uncomfortable in the pres
ence of so many men. She spoke with
ease, aud, as elsewhere probably, held
her own in running debate. 1t all
seemed very easy for her.

Reports are coming IN ehaS acre
and there soft-coal mines are being
operated despite the strike and that
the production is steadily increasing
from these sources. This is due to
the fact that coal mining, unlike
steel making, can be carried on in
small operations and by small shifts
OF gangs Of men. The work consists
in picking or blasting out the coal
from the seams and hauling it to the
surface. There is no such complex of
functions as in a manufacturing in
dustry, in which one part or process
depends upon series Of other opera
tions.
As The Star pointed out the other
day, relatively small degree Of skill
is requisite for coal mining, apart
from the experience Of the shot-frers,
who must know how to place the
charges of explosive SO as to bring
down the greatest amount Of coal with
out dangerously affecting the roofs and
walls Of the drifts or tunnels. Most
Of the work underground is done by
unskilled men. who become more
efficient, of course, in degree of ex-
perienee, but are Of character to be
set to work at short notice.
With the soft,coal industry organ
lied to about 80 per cent, as estimated,
the operation of 'non.union mines will
not greatly aid in supplying the mar
ket. But other than strictly non
union mines, it is stated, are being
operated. some by non.union labor,
some by deserters from the strike
ranks. If many breaks Of this kind
occur in the lines it will not be long
before the strike will end through
disinfegration.
The danger of disorde.- arises from
this condition. So long as only strict
ly non-union mines are operated, in
regions where organization has not
beenaeffected. there is little likelihood
of conflict. But assertions from the
strike ranks are apt to cause picket
ing, which leads to assaults and riot
ing. The government, however, has
been forehanded in this matter, send.
ing troops into the mining regions 50
distributed as to be ready for emer.
gencies. 1t will be possible to make
show of force at almost any place
within the bituminous >6eld within
three or four hours from the sign Of
danger. This is tho first time in the
history of industrial conflict in this
country that the government has been
prepared in advance Of trouble, and
the effect of the provision is certain
to male for order and probably will
cause the early collapse of the strike
through the assurance Of protection
for those miners who wish to resume
work.

Watching America.

In London cable to the New VOTE
Tribune this appears:
"No international event. is being
watched with more interest IN the
leading sections of British opinion
Than the coal and steel strikes in the
United States. Some business men see
in them merely welcome spoke IN
|, the wheels of American production
but the interest Of the general pubic
eenters in the outcome of the drastic
American anti-strike measures"
As The Star pointed out last week
We are playing to larger gallery
now than ever before. all the great
nations are reading the news from
America, and making note of what is
going on here. Particularly is this
true AS respects business. Our bust
1ess aspirations and purposes are
Known. and there is lively curiosity
felt as to our ability to make good.
q The reason for this, of course, is
that we are entered as competitor

Cons find it Important to give atten'
ton to US. 1t is to their interest to
be able to appraise US; to form an
idea of what we can do in trade on
. worldwide scale; of our ability to
handle our enormous resources.
They are we'll aware Of what those
resources are; of their extent and
variety; of our equipment for pro
duction under favorable circumstances
Bat the question is as to how far
and how much the war has. affected
our circumstances; as to what We can
do in the way of production, with the
results of the war-the high cost Of
living and the high wage scales
showing in our affairs.
We need not be surprised, there
fore, nor can We reasonably complain.

Business is business, and, as We Ill

We are very much out of condi-

fact if it were in our interests to dc

as soon as possible. We must put an
