them we short 100000 homes that would normally

AT the same time the dollar has shrmk and construction
costs have skyrocketed Bricks for instance cost SIX
times much they did in 1914 Builders have post
poned their plans to wait for prices to come down.
Here we have unusually large demand and 2,000,-
600 less homes than the ordinary supply. The natural
thing has happened The basic law of supply and demand
the law that fixes prces-has raised rents. The coun-
Try over they have risen average Of 20 per cent
The only thing that bring rents down is this same
basic law. If the balance to swing the other way-f

We are all here and we've got 10 live somewhere so
there isn't much chance of cutting down the demand

rents are also high and there little prospect Of them

PRALsEWoRTHY STAND.

EUBLIC spirited West Virginians of all walks and
interests will JON in congratulang the delegates from
this state to the United Mine Workers of America con-
venhon at Columbus upon their support of the International
officers OF the Mine Workers in the stand they took with
regard to President Wilson's plan for ending the soft coal
strike.
The history Of the United Mine Workers during the
past twelve months is fine example of the kind of havoc
radicals can work m this country when they become inAu-
entail IN large labor organization controlling one Of the
paslc d,strles Before any one suspected that could
happen the miners union, which had been successfully
carrying out collective bargaining for quarter Of CEN
tuy. was the hands of radicals who had some sort Of
an understanding with extremist workers leaders on
the other side Of the Atlantic. 1t soon became apparent
that the American element in the union either would have
g heht the radicals with their own weapons abandon
control OF the organization Of the strongest and most
important in the country, to alien influences
Fortunately none of the International headquar
tiers are the quitting kind and the struggle within the organ
izaon began he result costly to the mine operators
to the men themselves and douby costly to the consumers
but thanks to the fact that they kept their heads and u
derstood the value of patience the officers won out 1t was
light squeeze however, and even yet the alien radicals
and the gang which would like to seize control of the
organization any terms would upset them were DOS
sbls What that would mean probably would not develop
until the new officers began deliberately to betray the
Amsnean coal industry in pursuance of the understanding
which some of them certainly have with the naturalization
element among the miners of Great Britain and continental
Europe. 1850 '''''>'''"
is Of the highest value therefore, for such important
bodies as the West Virginia miners stand up and declare
that they approve heartily of the course pursued by Acting
President Lewis and Secretary Treasurer Greer Here
in the state there has been the slightest on to
question the loyalty and intelligence of the Min rkers
! he action of their representatives at Coumbr erday

SECRETARY LANES CONFERENCE.

N Of the first of the annual reports issued by the
Department of the Interior after Secretary Lane became
the head of strong stand taken against what very
pcrtinenty called the economic crime growing out Of
the waste Of natural gas Mr. Lane has never let the matter
slip entirely from his mind not even when the country
was in the war and there many other things 10 think
about, and he has called conference of governors
and scientists for the purpose of examining into the matter
and if possible formulating plans for reduction in the
losses in which real progress likely to be made
The bigger companies engaged in the production and
distribution of natural gas have been giving great deal of
thought to conservation in years. With the price
up to where costs them real money to lose gas
What even worse, every cubic foot of gas that is wasted
makes the position of the companies more difficult at
time when the demand for service much larger than they
can meet 1t may be doubted therefore, that even such
conference Secretary Lane proposes will result in much
improvement right there
Nevertheless the conference will be good thing, for
the simple that it will focus the interest of the con-
sumers the entire territory served with natural gas
upon the gas situation and if the proceedings of the gath
erng skully directed the attention Of many people
ought to be tuned upon the great waste of this precious
fuel at the point of consumption If the statement of yes
erday is true that 80 per cent of the gas delivered to
domestic consumers wasted anything that will make them
save gas ought to be great help the whole gas situation
