COAL

TNODAl, after meetings and deliDera-
- tlons and ultimatums, after the an
nouncement by Doctor Garfield of the
plan that was to have averted the dis
aster of u fuel famine, the soft coal
situation is about where it was when
the miners were first ordered to strike.
Mr.. McAdoo's charges Of Shocking
profits Doctor Garfield's row with Sec
retary of Labor Wilson about the rate
Of wages to be proposed, the obduracy
and secretiveness Of the operators, grow
ing bitterness among the miners and the
obvious lack Of anything like sound
and ordered governmental policy have
served TO complicate rather than to set
Tie the coal situation. And" winter is
here and industries are succumbing to
SLOW paralysis all through the middle
West.
ut was too late to hold hearings"
said Doctor Garfield, in answer to
Mr.. harrington, one Of the mine work
ers' representatives, who complained
passionately because the strikers were
not permitted to explain the grievances
or their side of the case at the cabinet
meeting where the Garfield scheme of
adjustment was discussed and sane
toned. Of course, it was too late to
hold hearings. But there was time for
hearings and Investigations six months
ago when the miners first began TO talk
of strike. There was time for an in
telligent survey of the fuel industry
when the miners and operators first met
TO discuss new working agreements. If
profits i'll the coal industry were "shock-
ing it must have seemed, to the re-
sponslOle authorities in Washington that
matters were drifting in the wrong d.
rection Matters were left to drift.
The public is becoming aware that it
is still in the dark. 1t has been deafened
by the clamor of opposing claims. No
one has seemed able or willing to tell
the simple truth about conditions in the
coal industry. Miners and operators
alike have conducted campaigns of hate.
What is clear, however, is that wash
ington waited for the storm to break
before it could get up courage enough to
deal with situation which was swiftly
developing under everybody's eyes as a
domestic crisis of the first magnitude.

A solidified and nationally directed

great deal TO temper and advance polit-'

1t is because the Labor party formed
at Chicago was vigorously exclusive that
it must rank, for the present, far be-
hind the British Labor party in signifi-
cance and power Almost all Americans
work. The majority of them work hard
to earn living. OF the professional
and technical men who work with their
minds, of the nervous exhaustion that is
more wearing than physical veariness,
the Chicago convention took no thought.
SO, unlike the British, they shut mos,
laborers out of their labor party. Had
they done otherwise they would be in
way to forming party actually rep
resentative of the majority in America
Such parties already exist. And if they
do not represent the majority, if they

thoughts OH OlueT
OUR friend Dove Dulcet, the poet came
~ into our kennel and found US arm in arm
with deep demijohn of Chester county
cider. We poured him out beaker of the
cloudy amber juice. It was just in prime
condition, 'sharpened with a blithe tingle,
beaded with pleasing bubble of froth. Dove
looked upon it with kindled eye. His arm
raised the tumbler in a manner that showed
this gesture TO be one that he had com
nassed before The orchard nectar began to
sluice down his throat,
Dove is one who has faced many and
grievous woes. His Celtic soul peers from
behind cloudy curtains Of alarm. Old un-
bappy far off things and battles long ago
fume in the smoke of his pipe. His girded
spirit sees agrarian unrest in the dahodll
and industrial riot III tin OF preserved
prunes. He sees the world moving on the
brink of horror and despair. Sweet dalliance
with a baked bloater on restaurant plat
ter moves him to grief over the hard lot OF
the Newfoundland fishing feet. Six cups Of
tea warm him to anguish over the peonage of
Sir Thomas Lipton's coolies in Ceylon. Souls
in nernIexity cluster round him like Canadian
dimes in q cash register in Plattsburgh, n.
Y. He is a human sympathy trust. When
1pe are on our deathbed we shall send for
him. The perfection of his gentle sorrow
will send us roaring out into the dark, and
will set a valuable example to the members
of our family.
TUT it is the rack of clouds that makes
ID the sunset lovely. The bosomy vapors Of
Dove's soul are the palette upon which the
decumbent sun of his spirit casts its vivid
orange and scarlet colors. His Joy is the
more perfect to behold because it bursts
soldenly through the pangs of his tender
heart. His soul is like the infant Moses,
cradled among dark and prickly bullrushes !;
brt anon it floats out upon the river and
drifts nerrily downward on sparkling
spate.
II has nothing to do with Dove, but We
will here interject the remark that pessi-
mist overtaken by liquor is the cheeriest sight
in the world. Who is SO extraVagantly,
zloriously and irresponsibly gay?
noVE'S eyes beaconed as the cider went
~ it's way. fhe sweet lingering tang filled
the arch of his palate with soft mellow
cheer. His gaze fell upon US as his head
tilted gently backward. We wish there had
been a painter there-some one like F. Wal
ter Taylor-to rush onto canvas the gor-
geous benignity of his aspect. 1t would have
been q portrait of the rich Flemish school.
Doves eyes were full of tender emotion,
mingled with charmed and wistful surprise.
II was as though the poet was saying he had
not realized there was anything so good left
on earth. His bearing was deyout, religious,
mystical. In one moment of revelation $50 it
appeared to us as we watched) Dove looked
upon all the prodles and aspects of life, and
found them of noble outline. Not since the
grandest Of Grand Old Parties went out OF
power has Dove looked less as though he
felt tce world were on the verge OF an abyss.

Where the Grass GroWs Like
the Sea
the Sea

OH, LET me hence to empty wastes
~ Where the kind wind sweeps free;
Where silence has her brooding place,
And on the earth's untrodden face
The grass grows like the sea,
All gray green, ripping to and fro,
When the soft breezes DER it blow.
Oh, let me hence to open plains
Where there is no mans mark;
Where sound is naught but natures sigh,
Or chance heron's lonely cry
Out of the gathering dark
The dark that in the land of men
ls pierced to aching light again.
Oh, let me hence that may seek
The balm of quiet space;
Choked in the dust of countless feet
The bars which I so vainly beat
Oft crumble from their place,
When sleep brings back old days to me.
Out where the grass grows like the sea.

AT THE PENlTENTIARY

A READING Of the grand jury's re
"A port on conditions ut the Eastern
Penitentiary makes it plain that shecr
ennui, once the dreadful ail)clion Of the
ultra-rich, is the chief trouble among the
convicts and the inspiration Of many OF
the complaints that have been penetrat-
ing to the outer world of anxiety and
hard work The devil, as somebody has
said, can always find plenty of work for
idle hands to do.
Long ago the labor unions Of the state
forced the enactment of laws devised to
eliminate competition between convict
labor and those who have TO work for
living. In principle the law is sound and
fair. But it has provided some restric-
tions that properly might be lightened.
There are not enough convicts in the
state perceptibly to affect labor condi-
tions, even if they were permitted to
work unhindered.
Plans formulated some years ago for
great central penitentiary near Belle
fonte will solve the difficulties Of convict
labor il ever they are carried out If
the states prisoners are ever concen-
trated on the central penitentiary site
they will be in an isolated region where
they can make agriculture 4 temporary
vocation. Farmers would not complain
The building in this city is inadequate
The site could be put to better uses.
Great prisons should be removed from
cities altogether And when they are
moved we shall no longer have to be
,iold by grand juries that it is wrong

daytime for the want of something bet
1fer to, do.

Mr.. Gompers had no hand in the for
nation of the American Labor party.
If any of the other influential leaders
were present their names didn't figure
i'll dispatches.
AS q matter Of fact the abler and more
experienced labor leaders seem to have
had no part in the job. If they had
been there they might have told the other
delegates that you cannot reform any
thing by passing resolutions and writing
political platforms.
When the politics Of the country has
been cleaned up, when shysters no longer
are elected to Office and when there are
no vast party machines to be sustained
by patronage, it will be time enough to
talk of the naturalization of basic in
dustries.
And when that time comes the ma.
tionalization of industries will not be
necessary, because there will be better
ways to make the basic industries eff
cient.
As a political document the Labor
party program has little value. As an
indication of what younger labor leaders
are thinking about it is significant. They
have been thinking for the most part Of
the British Labor party and its plat
form, because they obviously would like
to apply the theories of the British in
America. That an entirely different set
of conditions exists here does not seem
To bother them.
The British labor men agitated vainly
for the naturalization of mines and the
naturalization of railways. That pros
pect was intolerable in England. And
yet England has no such complicated
system of graft and patronage and boss
control in politics as we have tolerated,
with diminishing patience, in America.

pREAR DAYS FOR scALPERs

EDNE effect of the amusement tax law
seems to be as wholesome as it was
unexpected. For years bills against
ticket scalping suffered eleventh hour
extinction in legislative halls and, if re-
formatory measures were passed, they
were either absurdly mild or enforced
only in theory.
The IMPOSITION of the federal tax
changes the whole situation and places
the speculator directly under the eye of
the government. Obviously the scalper
Is averse to charging a tax commensu
rate with his eXtortionate price of the
ticket. He profits not at all by the i'm
post and prospective purchasers are
scared off by the additional cost. And
SO the sidewalk vultures and others
within doors have dared to base the tax
collected on the original and legitimate
price of the ticket.
The result is heartening. Twenty
four alleged scalpers will appear today
before Thomas Littlehales, chief field
deputy of the Internal Revenue Depart
rnent in this district, to submit their re-
turns to the government in connection
with their sale of seats for the Penn
