TEN, by which workers are morally
bound to spend their wages to the
profit of the company. 1t might also
be stipulated that the company would
not be permitted to rent unsanitary
and unfit houses to it's employees.
Better still, the government might
also own much of the surface in the
coal fields. This could be sold to the
miners by a system of yearly pay
ments, which would enable them to
own their own homes. Conditions
might also be made to enable the min
ers to obtain provisions and supplies
on the cooperative plan.
Expense Not Prohibtive.
by no means would this entail an
immense expense to the government.
1t may surprise many to know that
the bituminOus coal of this country.
as it exists in the earth, has cost the
coal companies on an average of less
than one cent per ton. If the govern
ment paid an average of two cents per
ton for the coal today, it would be pay
ing an enormous profit to the owners
of coal fields. Companies that mined
coal on tonnage leases now pay at
least ten cents per ton. Then the
government could make handsome
profit on it's investment
"A great benefit would also accrue
to the country at large The artificial
seasons in the coal business would
disappear. The price of coal could be-
come as permanent, say, as the price
of wheat. There would be no oppor-
tunity for men to speculate with the
law of supply and demand.
The Miners Life.
Il know full we'll that the COM
panies' records will show that not
more than an average of 80 to S5 per
cent of the men are at work on ordi-
nary working days. This failure to
work is usually attributed to the care
lessness or drunkenness of the miner.
but the fact is that the miners labor
depends upon conditions beyond his
own control. For example, if the night
worker failed to pump out the water
from his working place, or to cut his
coal, or to lay his track, or to provide
timbers, the miner, appearing the next
morning to work, would be forced to
return home. In such a case, the fore
man, who, in the last analysis was re-
sponsible~ for the miners failure to
work might easily cover his own moo
ligence by reporting the miner as out
on drunk
"a miner is generally an old man at
45. He will expectorate a coal black
mucous for ten years after he has left
the mines. Often he is forced to work
in water, and always he is breathing
in dust and powder smoke"

MITS REPoRT-NEW PROBLEMS
FOR CATHOLIC WELFARE AGEN-
ClES HERE.

One of the problems of the forth
coming year, to which the government
is already giving it's attention, is the
resumption of the flow of immigrants
TO the United States from Europe.
The subject is dealt with eXhaustively
by the Commissioner General Of I'M
migration in his annual report, which
has just been made public; and the
committee of Congress is consider
ing legislation to regulate the stream
of foreigners, who, it is anticipated,
will seek refuge from the wretched-
ness left in the wake of war in Eu-
rope by coming to this country.
OF Special Catholic Interest.
From the Catholic point of view, the
question is one of especial interest,
as thousands of those, who will make
up this great moving current of hui
manity, will come from Catholic coun-
tries. The National Catholic War
Council and the National Catholic
Welfare Council have already en-
barked upon the work of American
iaing the immigrants, who have al
ready landed on these shores. The
task will undoubtedly be enlarged
many fold when the bars are down to
travel, and more normal conditions
prevail.

F llacies of Modern Feminism

become necessary to enact special
laws for their protection. Unfortu-
nately many of the measures proposed
for the benefit of women are fre-
quently opposed by women them
selves, Father Ryan said. The op-
ponents are usually the extreme FEM
inists who contend that woman must
be regarded as equal to man in all
things and therefore requires no spe-
cial protection, or others who are
actuated by sordid economic motives.
Class Legislation.
"The objection is made" he con-
tinued, that legislation on behalf of
women in industry is class legislation.
1t is. And class legislation is the
only kind Of sane legislation. So long
as there are classes which differ in
their strength, sane legislation should
take account of this fact in providing
for the various classes of people, ac-
cording to their needs The weak
need more protection than do the
strong
Father Ryan does not believe that
woman suffrage will result in mark
ed betterment of our political condi-
tions. In some of the Western
States" he said, 'the women have had
the vote for several decades and, sc,
far as I can learn, the votes divide
there on the same lines as men. For
the most part the women vote as do
their husbands, fathers or brothers."
New Sex Ethics.
Father Ryan strongly condemned
the new sex ethics advanced by wild
and fantastic feminists. "The move
ment is particularly pernicious," he
said, "since it aims at the emancipa-
ton of woman from all moral law.
| It is fallacy to state that the sup
porters of this movement desire only
| the individual development of woman
True individual development implies
selfsacrifice. What they are aiming
at is not equality but the freedom of
woman from all moral restraints"
In conclusion Father Ryan ex-
pressed the conviction that the ex-
treme notions of the feminist move
ment will gradually disappear, because
they are against the interests of So
ciety.

PASTOR IN OHIO COAL FIELDS
DECLARES FOR FEDERAL OWN
ERSHlP-SAYS U. S. SHOULD
OWN NOT ONLY MINING PLANTS
BUT COAL AND SURFACE PROP
ERTY-BANS PROFIT SHARING,

During the recent coal strike the
opinions of priests, pastors in the coal
fields were much sought as the advice
OF experts on the living conditions of
the miners. These opinions carried
much weight.
The Reverend Roderick A. Mac
Eachen, Cleveland diocese, of the
Catholic University of America, who
passed twelve years in parish work
about Ohio coal fields, gave an inter-
esting interview recently, in which he
declares for federal ownership of the
coal mines of this country. Absorbed
in this problem of capital and labor,
when speech became a barrier, Dr..
MacEachen went to Europe and made
himself fluent in twelve languages In
order that he might speak to the min
ers in their own tongue, as he spoke
to the operators in theirs. Afterward
he organized and managed the relief
work which essentially operated to the
success of one historic strike in Ohio's
coal industry.
DR.. MacEachen does not believe
that a profit-sharing system is cor
rective for the existing evil, but per-
sonally advocates a novel form of gov
ernment ownership.
He says in part:

REV. JOHN A. RYAN POINTS OUT
ERRORS OF EMANCIPATION
EMENT-ECONOMlC AND
SOCIAL EVILS FOLLOW TACTICS
OF WILD AND FANTASTIC
FEMINISTS.

The Rev. DR.. John A. Ryan, of the
Catholic university at Washington,
discussed Some Fallacies Of the Fem
mist Movement" in an instructive lee
.ture at D'Youville College, Buffalo,
last week. He condemned the revolt
against all artificial barriers which
laws and customs have imposed
against woman's unrestricted free
dom, and declared that the complete
economic independence of woman de-
manded by the extreme feminists
would result in incalculable harm to
the whole of society.
~ Various Evils. ..
Father Ryan discussed the political,
economic and moral phases of the
question. Pointing to the fallacy Of
women's endeavor to compete with
men in all things, he contended wom-
an should be complementary to man,
and cooperate instead of competing
with him. woman should set up her
own standards instead of striving to
reach the standards of man." he said.
."Woman's mission in life is just as
high and just as noble as that of
man. To deny the social claims that
rest upon her would be to act con-
trary to the interests of the social
body"
Economic Competition.
Womans competition with man in
the economic field has not benefited
her, Father Ryan declared. He con.
|ttended that the great majority of oc
equations in factories and mercantile
Establishments are injurious to wom
an if persevered in for any number
of years. According to the United
States census" Father Ryan con
tinued, 100000 women and 10000,
900 men were employed in gainful oc
lcupations in 1910. OF the 100000
women, 100000 were, however, en-
gagged in agriculture and domestic
service. A great number of others
were engaged as nurses and teach
ers, telephone operators and. sales

than 100000 remained in active
competition with man in the economic
field" Women are untitled for mucl

the mining plants, but the coal itself.
Then it would be in a position to pro-

zens which keeps our homes warm and

with government ownership of the
coal, the individual or company could
lease tract or equip it for mining,
paying a royalty per ton mined. The
advantages of this to the industry
would be manifold. 1t would entail no
vast expenditure Of capital in the pur-
chase of coal fields.
Hence the amount of capital on
which dividends are to be paid would
be reduced to minimum Best of all,
it would enable the government to sta

the market would justify the employ
ment of more miners, the government
could lease a new tract. With the
