The Unprotected Consumer


The Unprotected Consumer
In negotiations looking to settle
ment of the coal strike the public
would like to see applied principle
neglected at Paris--namely, "open
covenants Of peace openly arrived
at" A large part of the good that
should come from settlement will
be lost if the business is done in
secret. And already apprehensions
are aroused by intmations that
back-room conferences are in prog
rcss.
More is at issue than the reopen
ing of the mines, important as that
is. An issue has been raised which
must be met, and if it is shuffled out
of view it will be at the cost of
future trouble.
The mining industry has practi-
cally passed under the joint control
Of two groups of monopolists: first,
a group Of owners and operators
who act az q unit concerning the
functioning of the industry; second,
a group Of labor monopolists who
similarly act as unit. Either
group can close the mines, and en-
tering into agreement the two
can divide whatever profits they
are pleased to exact from the
public. Indeed, it is strange the
operators were SO controlled by in
herted ideas that they did not con-
suit their immediate selfish interest
by conceding to the miners what
they asked and then making the
public pay the bill.
The question at stake thus is the
fundamental one Of whether groups,
acting separately or together. are to
be at liberty to stop at will the pro-
duction Of necessary of life In the
old days diffusion of control among
competing operators and lack Of per-
feet organization among the men
whose labor is essential protected the
public from, extortion. But those
days now are no more
What is required, then, is assur-
ance that the processes Of production
shall not be Interrupted, which
means, of course, that complete free
dom concerning the operation of the
mines can no longer be allowed to
operators and that complete freedom
to work or rot to work cannot be al
lowed TO the mine workers. 1t must
be recognized that one side cannot
declare a lock k-out or the other a
walk-out. and that differences must
oe arbitrated.
But arbitration is not enough.
The arbitration board cannot safely
be organized on a basis which as
sumes that the only parties entitled
to a hearing are the operators and
the miners. This is seemingly the
theory or which the Administration
is proceeding, but obviously it is
full of dangerous replications The
public must also be party to the
arbitration. for as miners and oper-
;tors have economic interests in
some ways hostile, so the two have
economic interests opposed to those
# the public.
The arbitration. therefore, must
be trilatcral, and not merely bilat-
ersl. What is fair price to the
consumer, as well as what is fair
wage or far return on capital.
must be considered. If there is
such consideration it is essential to
have the parleys open.

Nandals at High Bridge

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: How many citizens and .axpay-
ers of New York City realize that if IS
seriously proposed to tear down High
Bridge? The Bonrd of Estimate will
give hearing on the proposition ueyt
Friday. The ground on which its
demolition is urged is that its niers
are an obstruction to the navigation Of
the Harlem River. IN M Judgment,
the water-borne traffic does no. war-
rant the removal of the bridge: and
when i does assume proportions with
which the bridge piers viii seriously
interfere ii can be accommodated by
removing TWO OF the piers and sub
stltuting graceful elliptica masonry

ones, High Bridge is not only n land
mark and an ornament to the city.

New-York tribune., 1919-11-07

THE widely conceived theory that
violent political upheavals
would surely follow the stress
of the war period il now receiving its
first justification in Canada.
There have been, of course, numcr-
Gus potential and attempted disturb
anccs, ranging from the Bolshevils cult
to tho efforts of the Nonpartisan
League in this country; but it is in
the dominion that the tilst actual sue
cess has been won by warborn pol
itics. There one strongly intrenched
provincial government has been over
turned, and three seats in the Donin-
ion Parliament have been won from
tho government by an entirely new
party, Il party which had no political
existence prior to 1913, and party
which is the direct result Of war con-
ditions.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-07
Not Bolsherik

The new party is rot radical. by
modern standards. though in 1914 j..
would have been so considered; il is
distinctly not Bolshevik, yet in 30 far
as the old line parties are concerned
it is certainly revolutionary; it is not,
as might have been expected, q party
organized or supported by the extreme
~ strong returned soldiers organiza-
ton; it is a farmers party. 1t calls
itself the United Farmers party, ana
apparently it is exactly what it's name
defines
The new party, which began its or
ganizatlon as Il political power during
the last few months of the war, re-
turned thirty-ninc members to the On
tario Legislature at the provincial
elections held two weeks ago Twenty
six Liberals and twenty-six Conserva-
tives were returned. Since then in
five byelections to the Dominion
House the United Farmers have re.
turned their candidates in three con-
stitucncics, one in New Brunswick, one
in Ontario and one in Saskatchewan.
The significance OF this lies not only
in the results themselves, but in the
fact that the three seats affected are
so widely spread as to indicate that
the movement is general ell over the
country.

this morning about 8 o'clock to ex-
tinguish a fire in the Handy Kitchen,

| stream of water which completely
extinguished the fire.
1t is not known just how the fire
