In spite of all the noise as between
the coal miners and the coal operators
there is a well defined conviction that
from the beginning there has been a
well defined conspiracy, or under
standing. by which it was proposed tc
rob the public. The idea was for the
miner. to howl for more wages, and
the operator to resist on the gound
that he could hardly live now. The
expectation was that the matter would
be finally settled with largely In
CREASED wage, for the :mins at the iex-
pense Of the public. Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield has taken the position
that he does not care how much
wages the miners get, provided there
is no increase in the cost of coal to
the consumer and the probability is
that his position is about right.

The Gastonia chamber of commerce
is seriously considering the problem
of providing a landing field for air
ships. Leading members of that wide
awake and progressive commercial Or
ganization realize that it will not be
a great while before need for a suit
able landing field becomes stronger
and strongec, and unless effective
steps are taken now, there will be
much disappointment and regret be-
fore the fnid removal Of all occasion
for concern: in the matter. Other
wideawake towns throughout this sec
ton are also giving the subject seri-
Gus consideration.
