GET TOGETHER.

G EcRETARYl LANE, who is presiding over The de-
~ liberahons of the Industrial Conference was right
when he declared at the conclusion Of yesterday session
that the conference has produced nothing, but it would be
mistake to assume at this stage that the effort has been
failure.
The trouble has been that the representatives Of both
capital and labor has been too oyiedng Labor began
it by trying to use the conference on the side Of the strikers
in the steel strike, but capital added to the tension by the
incorporating character Of its attitude in the deliberations
which have taken place since the Gompers resolution was
introduced.
No one knows this morning what the letter contains
which President Wilson sent to Chairman Lane to be used
as final appeal to the confeees should they show desire
to break off their deliberations but there is doubt about
the way the public feels 1t wants the men who were sum
moned to the great conference to struggle ahead ond
to find some plan which will help restore economic eqd-
brrim and feeling of tranquility in this country.
first in the conference Samuel Gompers right yester-
day when he dramatically told the employers wing Of the
conference that if they rendered the work of the labor
CARNATIONS finally mpoten and destroyed the unions they
would find themselves facing something worse.
There is no trace ,! radcalism in such statement COM
ing from such man as Gompers. 1t is just plain common
sense and cold logic and we all know it

(From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times.j
The chief value Of the testimony Of

its confirmation of the position, Of

war. But within the past month or so
there have been developments enough
to disturb our sense Of security in this
respect.
We are not particularly interested
in Margolis' admission, when .Eessed
for a personal application OF his
views, that he would not resist the
action of a marauder who wanted to
take his coat or attack his wife. We
are actively interested, however, in
his statement that local units of a
Soviet society are in existence in
Pittsburgh, DuQuesne, Homestead and
other Pennsylvania steel centers, ano
at Youngstown. o., the members of
which he declared, stand for anar-
chistie communism. +" We are also in

Russian committees which through
laxlty of our government have found
safe refuge in the United States to-
ply the bloody propaganda of Bolshev-

mOyal Of Fuel Re-
strictiOns.

The Public Ledger Is in receipt Of
the following communication from
County Fuel Administrator s. p.
Browning:
"The United States Fuel Admins
tration has issued the following Or
der:
"'By order entered today all Ma
tional, State and local regulations
with respect to coal both Anthracite
and Bituminous, as well as to coke,
charcoal and wood products, sold,
shipped, distributed or used after jan
uary list, are suspended, except that
until further order all tidewater ship
ments must go through the tidewater
coal exchange. All contracts are sub
ject to the recent contract order Of
January 18th, and the prohibition of
shipment of coal for re-consignment
is continued. No new orders or re-
gulations shall be issued by State or
Local Administrators after February
list unless the same have first been
submitted to and approved by Wash
ington.'
at will be understood from the
above that the time has arrived when
it is no longer necessary to control
and regulate the distribution and pro-
duction of fuel. Effective January list,
1919, all restrictions and regulations
heretofore in effect, were cancelled. !
shall appreciate it if you will give full
publicity to this matter.
MAY l not thank you for your very
loyal cooperation with the Fuel Ad
ministration in devoting so much of
your valuable space to the commune

time sent you. There has never been
time since the Fuel Administration
was organized when you have not
cheerfully assisted its officers in adj
vising the public of the needs of the
hour and of the regulations which
were put into effect from time to time.
Without the assistance of the newspa-
pers, the work of the Fuel Administra-
ton would have been very much more
arduous, and very much less effective,

me to convey to you its thanks and
everlasting gratitude for the services
and cooperation you have rendered.
