THURSDAY, OCTOBER %, 1919.

The miners strike called for Novem-
Der 1st is looked upon in this part of
West Virginia to be great boost for
the coal business, as this section is
only partly controlled by the Union
many miners are non-union. This of
course, will give the non-union work
ers good chance for steady work and
good pay for there will be the same
amount of coal used in domestic
way if none be exported.
The farmers are now hurrying their
work along in order to go in the mines
for the winter-thus it can be seen
that this part of the West Virginia
coal fields will be humming with bust
ness.
This strike will hit hard the union
lied coal mines, such as Consolida-
tion Coal Company, headed by Col
onel Watson who it appears was in
strumental in unionizing his mines
while in politics to draw votes-this
will be boomerang" even worse
than his political defeat. The prices
of coal will soar, but the people must
have coal and here is the chance of
a lifetime for the non-union operators
who have the nerve to operate their
mines, to clean up a little surplus.
And there are number of weak
union miners who are going to work
right on, and these together with the
thousands of farmers and others
eager to "dig in" for the winter will
make a large army of coal miners.
Public sentiment is overwhelmingly
in favor of the mines being operated
regardless of the strike, so little or
no trouble is expected, when so vast
a majority is thus inclined. The ex-
orbitant demands made by the union
is not setting well with the public
frame of mind.
Operators will have all the protec-
ton that they now enjoy; many think
it foolish to "naiI' their mines up
even for day, in view of the con-
ditions just ahead. Years ago when
coal Strikes" were on in other states,
West Virginia enjoyed her greatest
prosperity, and this will be repeated
to great extent, for the next few
months.

CARTER GLASS. EDITOR,

Carter Glass is making first-class
Secretary of the Treasury, all because

no minor undertaking, because Nc
Adoo was always found "going some"
But Carter Glass has some speed

THE SUGAR FAMINE
Due to the Price Fixing Policy and
Administration Failure to Buy
the Cuban Crop

the Cuban Crop
Up to this time the operations of
the Sesar Equalization Board have
resulted in establishing lower price
for sugar than has prevailed else
where in the world in the fact of de-
creased sugar production. But it now
seems apparent that the American
public will have to foot the bill for a
notable failure of the price fixing
policy. The lower price in the United
States has caused the foreign produc-
ers to sell their new crops elsewhere.
American sugar consumption was
100000 tons greater during the first
nine months of this year than during
the similar period last year This is
believed to be partly due to the in
creased consumption of sweets caused
by prohibition. But world production
of sugar is substantially below the
normal, and because of the lower
price here, the world crop is being
sold in other countries. The Philip
pine crop long ago went to the Orient
at higher price than the crop would
command in this country. Japan has
just bought the Hawaiian sugar crop.
President Wilson was asked by the
Sugar Equalization Board some time
ago to authorize the purchase of the
Cuban sugar crop, but neglected to
act upon the request, until the offer
OF the Cuban crop has been with
drawn. Last year this country bought
the Cuban sugar output, two-thirds of
which was reserved for the United
States and one-third went to the al
lies. Now a real sugar famine is in
prospect, and there seems to be no
possibility of preventing a shortage
and high prices. No relief is believed
to be in sight for two years. Except
for the production of beet sugar in
the United States, which was about
to be extinguished under the opera
ton of the administration tariff law
before the European war began, the
situation would be far worse. and this
nation, the worlds heaviest consumer
OF sugar, would be practically sugar
less

liam McKell Of Macdonald and
others. The conferences were not of
a public nature and nothing has been
given out directly for publication.
Il is denied, however, that there has
been any intention on-the part of the
to control or dictate the
naming OF the candidate for governor.
The plan is to take such steps as will
assure the naming of the strongest
man. If there is candidate to be
found upon whom all factions and
branches Of the party can unite it will
mean much to the party at this time.
Whether or not that unity Of opin-
ion prevails that will make it pos
sible to identify man as the choice
Of his party is, of course, a question.
If such a decision should be reached
it would be the duty of a good party
man to withdraw from the race for
the nomination in the interests of a
certain winner.
There are many men of the rank
and file who resent any movement
which would appear to incline towards
dictation even though it comes from
the national committeeman and men
of prominence in the southern part of
the state.

THE AGENT WHO WAS FOUND
WANTING

In talk to the soldiers at the
Walter, Reed hospital in Washington,
Colonel r. G. Cholmeley-Jones, direc-
tor of the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance, outlined the many methods by
which soldiers and sailors insurance
policies with the Government, have
been broadened and strengthened, and
brought more around to the methods
which furnish every kind of insurance
and protection that is desired by a
person taking out policy.
After describing the bettered con-
ditions affecting this fine piece of
work in behalf of the boys who ans
wered the call, the Director said that
insurance afficials and the men in the
insurance profession, had been among
the most loyal of all supporters of
the Government in war risk matters.
There are, however, some agents who
have urged men to drop their Govern
ment insurance and take out insurance
in private concerns. II feel conf
dent" commented the Director, "that
in such cases where ex-service men
have been advised in such way as to
allow them to lose their Government
insurance, that there will be at least
one man in the world whom the ex-
service men will utterly despise, and
distrust, and that will be the unscru-
pulous agent who in time of test was
found wanting"

SHIPPERS TO WAR
ON EXPRESS RULE
Suggest Company Try q Little
Efficiency Instead Of
Raising Costs.

Concerted action against the proposed
new regulations OF the American Rail-
way Express, which would necessitate
a change in the system Of packing mer-
chandse sent by express. has been
taken by more than fifteen trade or
CARNATIONS in the apparel and kindred
industries. representing approximately
Is, 900 shippers, doing an aggregate
business of close to one billion dollars
a year.
At a meeting OF manufacturers and
others interested in the matter, held I'M
der the auspices OF the United Waist
League of America, II was decided to
file a protest against the proposed reg
before August 1.
The American Railway Express seeks
to have shippers change the system Of
packing by introducing containers Of
different weight, in accordance with the
weights of packages, the contention be-
ing that the pilferage from boxes In
transit which now runs into millions a
year. would be reduced TO a minimum
II the containers are Of heavier weight
This argument IL fatty contradicted
by tho organizations OF shippers who
point out that the pilferage and other
losses are brought about not by the
improper use OF containers. but by sin
efficient railroad express employees"
Tho shippers contend that the ex-
press companies can remedy their losses
and damage deficiencies. not by intro
ducing an entirely unnecessary rule
which will force additional expense on
the shipper and on the ultimate con-
sumner. but by "inculcatng a spirit of
integrity in their employees and by CIV
