THE COAL SETTLEMENT.

While the proposition of the federal
government to the soft coal miners TO
further arbitrate the question of wage
and working conditions reflects on the
decision of Fuel Administrator Gar
field, it probably is wise concession
to make. Certainly it will be if it
brings about a resumption of mining
coal If work is resumed the country
will have coal which it must have and
the miners themselves can again earn
the expensive living they require. Fur
ther than this it will put the claims of
all parties before the public for final
adjudication.
So far as it knows the demands OF
the miners the public feels they are I'M
just and exorbitant. The revelation OF
the profits of the coal operators awak
ems the suspicion, at least, that they
are unreasonable profteers-that III,
public is being mulcted by both CAPT
talists and labor. The public will no
accept these conditions for a long pc
riod; it will demand the truth abou
both sides and then give an irrevocabl
| judgment.
Therefore the public will approve 0
further arbitration and publicity in thi
matter and it viii also enthusiasticall
welcome more coal without the advanc
in price the operators apparently hope
70 make.
