virtually all industrial disputes continue
dissstrously to revolve; yet, as matters
stand, Doctor Garfield can expect no
answer but the echo Of his own voice.
Cautious politicians at Washington avoid
such queries. Yet it is Congress that will
have to answer them finally by the enact
ment Of laws or the promulgation Of
code defining the privileges and rewards
which, in justice to the nation and in
the interest Of society, the various par
ties in basic industries have right to
expect,
We have said this before. We shall
say it again.
1t is for Congress to apply it's mind
r.solutely in efforts to find method by
which reason may be applied in contro-
versies that now are decided in savage
and costly struggles between powerful
groups Of embittered men.
Naturalization Of mines is neither
necessary nor desirable. But before the
coal industry is lifted permanently out
Of anarchy and barbarous confusion it
will be necessary for the federal govern
ment at least to suggest answers to the
questions put by Doctor Garfield and to
see, by some such system of regulation
as was in force during the war, that coal
production is kept at maximum efficiency
and upon scientific basis.
The interests Of society are above the
interests of groups Of operators or groups
Of miners. No one will deny that obvious
fact. Yet the rule is one that can be
applied only by the abandonment of in
formal efforts at mediation and the estab-
lishment of recognized system by which
all grievances on one side or the other
in industry may be settled without the
strikes and lockouts for which in the END
the patient public has to pay.
The coal strike itself is the final argu-
ment for closer scrutiny and more
deliberate settlement of labor disputes
A little while ago the miners were being
violently charged with disloyalty because
they wished to cut off the NATIONS coal
supply. More lately the operators have
been quibbling and wasting time at
Washington while the days Of coal famine
drew nearer.
And even now it is difficult to tell
whose claims and contentious are just
and reasonable, and whose are illogical
and unfair!

AIR OF UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT PROHIBITION
Legal Advisers Can't Find Authority
for Enforcement
SEARCH RECORDS IN VAIN
Revenue Bureaus Hands Tied With.
out Early Legislation by g. ,e:,.
Session.

Washington, April 14.-A..c -. ad-
terested in liquor regulations ex
amined statutes and Executive orders
today without finding specific legal
authority by which the Internal
Revenue Bureau might enforce war
time prohibition after July ].
President Wilson, under the Over
man act giving him power to transfer
functions from one department to an
other, might delegate the authority to
the revenue bureau, some lawyers de-
clared. However, this still would leave
the bureau without adequate funds to
pay the costs of maintaining a large
federal police force, unless there is
some Legislation at an early special
session Of Congress.
Air OF Uncertainty.
Suggestions received today did not
change materially the air of uncer-
tainty over the question Of how pro-
hlbltlon is to be enforced after july
!, as caused by Internal Revenue
Comm missioner Roper's announcement
that his bureau had not the authority
nor the funds to carry out the en-
forcement measures properly. MANY
kilograms received at the commits
sloners office today reflected keen in
terest by individuals and organiza-
tions throughout the country in the
status Of wartime prohibition.
Mr. Roper added nothing to his
statement in reply to these queries,
it was said.
+ Former Order.
Legal advisers of other agencies to-
day discovered that an executive order
of the President, dated September 2,
1917, issued under authority of the
OVerman act, delegated to the revenue
bureau and the customs division the
enforcement of the provision of the
Food Conservation Act of August 10,
1917, which prohibited the use Of food
materials in production of whiskey
and paved the way for restriction Of
beer brewing.
The amendment to the Agricultural
Appropriation Act Of November p.
1918, by which wartime prohibition.
effective July l, was established, did
not become law until long after that
executive order was issued and con-
sequently the order would not apply
to the prohibition measure.
The act Of November 21, 1918. pro-
vided "that after June 80, 1919, until
the conclusion of the present war, and
thereafter until the termination of de-
mobilization, the date of which shall
be determined and proclaimed by the
President of the United States. * =
1T shall be unlawful to sell for bev-
erage purposes any distilled spirits
* *" The act also specifies that in
this time mo beer, wine or other in
toxicating malt or vinous liquor shall
be sold for beverage purposes except
for export"
