tn MINE SITUATION

The situation in the mine regions OF
the southern portion Of the state Sc
rious as 1t Is, gives just cause for some
reflection. When the so-called state pa
troll bill was before the Legislature very
strong organizations protested against
II on the grounds that 1t was not neces-
sary for the preservation Of law and
was a needless irritant to labor organi-
cations. In spite Of this. the bill be-
came 4 law and small state police
force was organized. Except for that
police fierce, the state Of West Virginia
today has no body Of men at the dis
oosal OF the governor and to be used for
the protection Of life and property.
Entirely regardless Of the causes that
impelied the minors Of the Kanawha
valley TO invade other counties. the fact
remains that they have undertaken
dangerous step. which may lead to law
lcssness and violence. 1t is possible
that the reports so far received have
been exaggerated. and that the so-called
invading force will prove to be only a
pcacef., mission. But 1t is evident that
there Is the possibility Of very greas
danger in the present situation.
Whether or not the state police pa
troll force will be able to preserve or
der is = question. But one thing Is GER
tain. Order must finally be restored
the law must be respected and some
body. competent to maintain order
should be always at the disposal OF the
governor Of the state. Whatever the
grievances Of the mine workers. they
will not be helped by violation Of the
Law. There are legal and orderly pro-
ccsses by which men settle controver-
sizes in this country and those processes
must he followed.

Everybody loves Tyrell.

The Tyrelis are a large brilliant irish
family all with intellectual distinction
in some form or other. but, after the
manner Of Irish families scattered IN
many parts Of the world. with different
ayocationa even different religious
creeds. One Tyrell turned from Pro-
testantism to be Jesuit priest and was
eaught up by the Modernist movement
within the Catholic church and became
one Of it's most brilliant mouthpicccS till
Rome pronounced against it and him.
Perhaps through mental suffering at hrs

tations for such early dimming OF suca

THE DYE INDUSTRY

Germany, at least. does not agree
with thuse enthusiastic Americans who
believe that we have become indcpend-
emit in the matter OF dyes. In an ad-
dress made at Mannheim, Vice Chancel-
Tor Hack. one Of the leading dye man
ufacturers Of Germany. declares that
the American textile trade is only wait
ing a chance to welcome back German
dyes. He said:
I'VE need be in no terror about the
future Of our dye industry. German
science and efficiency have made us the
masters here. and all We read about
progress in this branch Of manufacture
In England and America should leave
as absolutely cold. lust ask yourselves
.. simple question; WIN the Yorkshire
entity to- pay f150 a ton for bad dyes
made in England when he can get tho
best goods in the market for FOO? II
/ know my Yorkshire man he will soon
tire Of putting patriotism before his
him is this: II he does not buy our
dyes, his astute competitors. the Amer
leans and Japanese, viii, and their man
fractured articles will be in consequence
better and cheaper than his and In q
very short time will replace his in all
world markets"
During the war and under the stress
OF circumstances. we created in this
countryfa nourishing dye industry. In
rraHy respects American dyes are as
rood rs German. II would be a misfor-
tune II this industry should be allowed
to languish and disappear. A sufficient
protective tnrif to carry it beyond the
danger OF extreme competition should DO
one OF the first subjects to be given Sc
rious ccnsideration by Congress.

been necessary If We had had certain
and effective regulations instead OF I'M
certain regulations.
For example: If We assume that the
railroads were earning on an average
per cent on their investment. yet the
uncertainty surrounding it and tho doubt
as to whether that would be earned in
the future WAS such that tho earning or
that per cent constituted less as
suran.c to railroad capital than would
the earning of four and half, II that
had been definitely guaranteed. So that
the public was paying very large
nricc, perhaps as much as half of l per
cent or more. on the total value Of the
railroads of this country simply for
tho sake of having an uncertain and in
effective regulation instead Of dcfn>
ite and effective regulation, and, in ad-
dition to that. after paying that high
price. the public was still suffering an
other disadvantage.
The difficulties mentioned were be-
fore the war. They are very much more
serious and much moro obvious now.
The railroad situation in the future
is going 10 be far moro difficult than
il was in tho past. The disparity be-
tween the weak and tho strong roads
is going TO be moro rrunOunccd; there
are going To be fewer roads which can
survive on the basis of their individual
earnings. So, whatever may have been
the necessity for a radical and cffestive
solution of these difficulties in tho past.
that necessity is multiplied many times
by the new conditions.
