a cCoRDING to press dispatches last night large coal

state Of Kansas when the state Supreme court named
receivers This action grew out Of charges that agree

they have refused to open their mines In Ohio Fmdlay
attorney has peitoned the Supreme court to direct The
attorney general to begin custer proceedings against coal
mining companies organized under the laws of the state
for failure to operate their mines
Here are Two fine examples Of starting things without
waiting to find out if they can be finished In the Kansas
case there may have been violations Of the anmonopoy
laws Of the state and the course taken may be the one
provided for the control of such conditions but if the mines
are not being operated for the that Ohio mines
are not turning out coal there is not the slightest prospect
that three receivers representing court will be any more
successful than the corporations that own the mines were
These actona and Others that probably will be taken

In New York there is now going on strike of milk
consumers The movement has been organized on a
basis of consumers refusing to buy milk the first three
days of each week until the price comes down. How
it is going to work out remains to be SEEN but if 1t
should demonstrate that consumers be organized
for effective action against high prices Of the links
in the chain of rising costs will break down. Dealers
long ago gave up trying to keep prices down They
permitted their own to increase and made no at
tempt to practice economies simply passing it al|on to
the consumer after in many cases. hiking up their own
percentage And the public always paid. But II the
public can be taught that it does not have to pay if it
does not want to lot of dealers will have to become
better business men or take trip through the bank
ruptcy courts. American business wastes are simply
appalling.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Attorney Gener
al a.. Mitchell Palmer's plan for d
fight against high living costs today
was launched in Illinois. He outlined
it yesterday to 400 state and city Of
ficials and representatives of WON
ems clubs called here by Governor
Lowden. Today they returned home
to put into practice that part Of the
campaign possible without further
legislation.
Formation OF fair price committees
in every community and buying by
women, who, MFR. Palmer said, rep
resent 80 per cent OF the nations
purchasing power, OF nothing but ac-
,tual necessities until prices como
down were especially stressed by the
attorney general.
Holding Of Conservation and &C.
onomy meetings" In every commun-
ity, use of influence by mayors and
prospectors to stabilize industrial
and rehabilitation Of the
-four minute mem to deliver work
and save" addresses in theaters each
night were other steps advocated by
Mr.. Palmer.
