SETTLE THE COAL CRISIS

The die is cast In spite of the threatening ap- peal of the president of the United States miners union has decided that the strike order stands. This order will be obeyed by the organized mine workers and will reduce coal production, al- ready short of the nations needs to a mere dribble from the unorganzed fields.
 The government intirnates that it will break the strike by prosecuting the mine workers under the Lever act and by the use of troops The government has also threatened repeatedly break the unau- thorized dock strike but that strike is still on and trans Atlantic commerce is at a standstill. If the government cannot break strike of 90,000 lockers called against the will of the union leaders and thousands of the rank file is it probable that it will be able to break the strike of 50OO00 soidy or ganized and united miners?
 The strike cannot be broken by jaiing it's leaders as the attorney general seems to believe. It can only be broken by operating the and producing the coal which the nation needs. Coal cannot be mined safely and in quantity except by skilled miners Ii is ldle 10 talk of mining coal with soldiers The plain Iact IS that there are not enough skilled miners out sioe the union to operate sufficient mines to pro- duce the coal which the needs and thus break the strike W
 The critical situation in which the nation nov 1lnds itself has been forced by the nsstence of tbe coal operators and the government upon the techni callty that the not over and that inc r,inars are therefore bound by their agreement until March Si lSzo From technical legal standnoint inc e,o. eminent IS probably right in its position that the war IS not over until peace is proclaimed by the pres uent after the ratification of the trea+,, Pr+ +h

 Nor did the government stand upon tecbncau ties in sanctioning the revision of similar agree ment affecting the anthracite miners while hostlities were still on in order to raise wage scale in that branch of the industry to level commensurate with the increase in the cost of living

Dealing With the Profiteer

We have federal regulations for holding the profiteer in check. There are in some states sup elementary laws and cities have found it ad- visabe to enact ordinances against profeering. All this any of this helps but all of them fall short without the cooperation of the public.
 The public do to discourage profiteer- ing than the authorities Prosecution is not always certain and conviction and punishment are uncer- tain But if the people find engaged in profteer ing and thenceforth give him wide berth and transfer their patronage to some one else who has been profiteerng, they will only put him out of business but will have administered deterrent lesson to others who might be tempted to take up the practice.
 Phoenix has been damaged to extent which cannot be easily measured within the last two or three days Visitors to the fair complaining that never before have they been subjected to such infamous extortion. Most of them understand that the whole town is not to blame their resentment is directed against certain hotels restaurants and they are going away swearing that they will give these places a black eye.

in every state to guide and strengthen the local libraries.
 Many of the states have no library commissions of any kind, and many others have library commissions which are only paper affairs, and accomplish | little or nothing. Wisconsin is cited as an example of state which has a good and effective library com mission. This library commission maintains, among other things, a i travelling library The travelling | library consists of sets of fifty books l put up in boxes ready for shipment. Some of these sets of fifty books are assorted collections, containing fiction, practical. books and books of various kinds. These books are sent to local libraries to remain for a few months
 Suppose, for example. that a town of a thousand inhabitants appropriates two hundred dollars year for the up keep of a library. It cannot maintain much of a library for that amount of money. But every two or three months, it can get a box of fifty books from the commission, and when every one in the community has read these
 books, it can send them back and get a new set. And suppose that town is
 in section which has a young but
 growing fruit industry. Then it can
 get a set of fifty books on the culture
 drying and canning of fruit, whicf
 will be of great practical value to the
 local people. And if any individual
 wants any book which he cannot ob
 tain at the local library. that library
 can get it for him through the com
 mission.
 In some towns which are too small to have libraries of any kind, the pos office acts as one, and receives and loans the set of books sent out by thC
 commission.
 The Wisconsin commission als, maintains legislative reference li- brary, where members of the state legislature may find copies of laws or
 all sorts of subjects, passed in all the
 countries of the world. There art men in this division who can draf
 sample laws for the legislators, O. help them to draft laws. Wisconsin is famous for its progressive and in telligent legislation, and a good dea of credit for this legislation is givei , the legislative section Of the libra-,
 commission.
 This commission also maintains , llbIdls SCllOOl, III COtAItClioll Wilil ll , state university, where librarians ar,
 trained; it has a "boo1 selection anl study club which will furnish any
 one with lists of books on any sub
 ject and help him to get the books
 and it has a library extension sectiol which helps communities to establish and maintain libraries. When a littl town wants to start library, tn commission sends down an expert t : help in the organization and the buy ! ing of books. and it will give advic s on the same subjects to any librar. l. in the state.
 The immense practical value o . books was amply demonstrated durin
