Wearing Ovcrnlls

| HE nation at largo must take notice of
the movement inaugurated in the South
and now spreading to the East for the
wearing OF overalls as a protest against the
excessive cost Of mems clothing This re-
volt is genuine, il now appears, and is not
merely fad. initiated by few irrespon-
sible people seeking PERSONAL publicity.
Thousands OF men and boys in the South
crn States are wearing blue and brown
overalls, the chea pest of garments, and are
giving notice to clothing manufacturers
that they will not buy conventional clothes
again until prices have declined to rea-
sonaby normal level.
This movement is just another manifes-
tation OF popular resentment against
proiiteerng. 1t may not be fair to visit
such punishment as the overall wearers
contemplate. upon the retailers OF mems
clothing. Their margin OF profit is no more
now, il may be assumed than i'm ordinary
times, but ii is difficult TO convince the aver
age man that clothing costs have risen more
than 100 per cent in the past two or three
years as result OF purely economic fac
tors. Somebody, somewhere, is making
more money than they have a moral right
10 make. and ii is against them that popu-
lar indignation is making itself felt
The resort TO overals is OF course. an ex-
IRENE measure, and will be laughed at by
many people and frowned upon by others
But there is promising idea back OF that
movement. If the country az q whole could
be persuaded to demand less expensive food
! and clothing; il it could he induced to wear
! its clothes longer and TO he satisfied with n
! little less superior cuts OF meat; if it could
! be led to operate its automobiles year or
! Two longer instead OF insisting upon new
and shiny one every year; in short. IL 1t
! could he made to wean itself from the en-
travagance that has grown up in recent
years and avoid the waste that is evident
| in all directions, the high cost OF living
would soon solve itself. 1t is ~manifestly
possible for the American people to produce
more and consume less without inviting
personal hardships and without dslocating
the whole economic system. There ia an
abundant market throughout the world for
all that America may have that is surp,us

Preferential Coal Rates

a FTER very careful consideration the
"A Interstate Commerce Commission has
recommended to the Senate the passage of
the Frelinghuysen bill providing for lower
rates on coal shipped during the summer
months than those charged for the move
ment of coal during the winter. The OBJ
vious purpose of this legislation is to en-
courage the purchase and storage of fuel
during the season when 1t is easiest to pro-
duce and deliver it.
When the pending measure was origi-
nally introduced it was looked upon in some
quarters as u far-fetched sort of proposition
we'll meant. but totally impracticable. 1t
was argued seriously by many people that
to have two rate tariffs for coal, one TO
apply for five or six months n year, and
the other for six or seven months, would
produce confusion in the market and chaos
in the railroad offices Of the country. But
the Unconditional and thoroughly practical
Interstate Commerce Commission has taken
no such view OF the matter. That body
has found that summer buying Of coal can
he greatly stimulated IL the consumers
know that they are to get it during that
season at reduced cost Of something like
25 per cent of the freight charges. And
the revenue loss which will be sustained
by the railroads, during the summer, it is
pointed out, will be made up in an extra
charge of the same percentage during the
winter.
This naturally will work more or less OF
serious hardship upon the coal consumers.
whose storage facilities or whose financial
resources make ii impossible for them to
buy the fuel they need for the year during
the summer months. They will be COM
PEELED to pay the higher freight rate,
through no fault Of their own, perhaps,
but more and more of them undoubtedly
will provide against that hardship rs time
goes on. The other view is that with heavy
buying orders for the summer the operators
and the railroads will be able to deliver
the bulk of their coal at a time when min
ing and transportation conditions are most
favorable, and with this tonnage out of the
way 1t will be far simpler matter to pro-
duce and transport the smaller amount Of
coal which consumers would need fresh
from the mines during the winter.
The broader view OF this legislation is
favorable. No other means yet resorted 10
has induced the summer buying and stor-
age of coal that prudence dictates. For
Years the coal associations and the railroads
have tried to impress upon the public the
Importance OF stocking up during the
months when II is easier to get coal and
while limited number OF consumers have
followed the advice given. the buy-early
campaigns never have been actually sue
ceSsful. II the desired result can be
achieved by guaranteeing n big saving in
cost with no corresponding loss to the rail-
roads, the scheme commends itself to ordi-
nary common sense.
With the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's report before them the members OF
the Senate and those OF the House as we'll
can proceed 10 the consideration OF the
Frelinghuysen bill with some prospect Of its
passage in time 10 affect the buying of coal
during the coming summer.

For young love walks with folly and
Holds romance tightly by the hand,
And is by thoughtless venture planned
