EIGHT THIS IMPOSITION.

HE directors of the Northern West Virginia Coal
L Operators association did the obviously proper
thing yesterday when they decided get right out into
the open and fight the conhscaon Of coal at the mines
on the part Of the railroads There is the slightest
excuse for this practice. here does not even seem
to be any reason for it. unless it plan TO secure
for the railroads some advantage in the purchase OF
fuel and that something that should not be permitted
It will not be permitted if the operators make the
right kind Of fight In the past the coal industry has
not been sufficiently vigorous its resistance to the
encroachng of the railroads At bottom the railroads
should not be permitted to coal on any terms
which give them price advantage other consum-
ers They must have fuel of course, in order to keep
the traffic moving. but there is no reason why they
should not be compelled to exercise the same foresight
other consumers display and make ample provision Tor
their requirements in advance.
That they are not entitled to special privileges except
under extraordinary conditions has been recognized for
long time, and while Dr.. Harry Garfield was fuel
administrator they placed upon an equal footing
with the other consumers of coal. But soon as the
fuel administration relaxed its grip they began cam
paign to get back to the old status They have almost
succeeded but their position is by means secure,
and if the operators fight them earnestly and openly
tkey will have to mend their ways.
The committee chosen to take charge of the interests
Of the operators in this matter admirably selected It
will have the nhdence of both the operators and the
public and there is not much reason to doubt that 1t
will be successful.

ILLUMINATING

The Calder-Edge proposal is not com
planned against only by their Republican
associates. officials generally feel that
it was an unwige threat for them to make
at time when campaigns are being car
rted on actively In many quarters for the
naturalization Of various basic industries,
including oil, coal, the railroads, meat
packing wire lines iron and steel.
The effect of such plan, even IL resort
ed to for the purpose of forcing down coal
prices it Is feared, will be to encourage
the naturalization propagandists all down
the line. The effect also would be greatly
embarrass the Republican administration.
soon to come intO power, as well as the
Republican leaders in both the House and
Senate, it is agreed.
But PROTECTING has not been practlced
by all coal producers or all coal distrbu-
tors, 1t is asserted. 1t has been practtced
largely by SPECTATORS. With the output
limited by our supply and some labor trou-
bles and with the privilege o. reconsgn-
ment, wide open opportunities presented
themselves to SPECTATORS to exact excess
sive prices for coal they were able to con-
troll.
For months the more responsible coal
operators have been cooperating with the
government in movement to beat down
the prices OF coal in the hanGs of the
wholesalers. They turned first to the In
terstate Commerce commission for more
coal cars, declaring that once coai became
plentiful the price situation automatically
would take care of itself.
They also turned to the Department OF
Justice and, through the organization of
fair price committees in the various fields
and through prosecutions by the DEPART
ment, many Of the spectators were driven
out Of the market. At the present time
coal production is running around 49,
100000 tons week, which provides
enough fuel to meet all domestic needs
and leaves some for export. Soft coal
prices also have been reduced in most sec
tons from Is to IS per cent.
This, in brief is the answer which the
coal industry makes to the Senate Commit
tee on Reconstruction and which ii offers
as a sufficient reason why naturalization
OF the industry Is not necessary in order
to protect the consuming public.
Doubtless that represents the prevailing opinion q

n T is not at all surprising to learn that Senator Cal

Such policy would be squarely in opposition to the
age radiicalism all along the line.

take charge Of the entire government is for less. and
not more government interference with the normal pro-
cesses of business, and anyway the coal industry is
making such progress in the effort 10 reform the abuses

as distinctly unfair attacq it in the way Senator
