A FEDERAL COAL coMMIssIoN.

NK/TTIOIJT doubt the most interesting one of the
w coal bills which Senator Fremghuysen introduced
yesterday is that creating federal coal commission in
the absence of complete details Of this measure than
the press ASSOCIATION reports carry would be impossible
to discuss the project of the New Jersey senator in worth
while way, but it quite possible to say with considerable
conviction that the coal operators of the country will make
mistake if they do not regard the effort as one which de-
mands their most serious attention.
Nothing substantial can be gained by trying to block
this movement 1t might be possible for time to hold
up the commission scheme if effort in that direction were
made but probably would be found that this would in
voye delay freeing the industry from the control which
conferred the President by the Lever act Senator
Frenshuysen bills partake of the nature of program and
they probably will hang together until they are disposed Of
he Frenghuysen measures it pretty safe to assume will
take precedence the introduced in the house
by Rep Tlson, of Connecticut which the Northern West
Virginia Coal Operators association ndorsed al their meet
ing here.
Coal enters too importantly into practically every
industry ever to be permitted to get back to the con-
don of absolute independence of control which character
zed before the United States entered the Great war AS
matter of faett would be the best interest Of the
coal industry itself to permit it to go back to the ante war
condition. Herbert Hoover said only what every man
who IS at all familiar with coal mining in this country
knows to betrue when he told the American Engineers
association the other day that it is the most thoroughly
disorganzed big industry in the world 1t is not in much
better condition now than ii when the then secretary
Of the interior Franklin K Lane called theeoal producers
Of the country Washington at the beginning Of our par
dcpaton the war to formulate with their advice coal
policy for the nation during the war period
Now Senator Freinghuysen does not know much about
any aspect Of industry He an insurance man
and has always lived in hard coal country His personal
point IS that Of the consumer who buys dozen or
twenty tons of hard coal and pays what seems to be
small fortune for it OF the great bitumnous coal trade
and its meaning the scheme of things ndusrally this
country he knows practically nothing but he has been con-
Quoting hearings as chairman of senate Subcommittee
for many weeks and he probably knows more about the

-PURLIc HEALTH oEEIcERs

HE. business of providing the people Of West Virginia
with health laws which have some force is slow and
tedious but those who are in the movement should moi lose
heart for theyae the right road and are bound to see
their fondest hopes realized IN time
The latest dscomagng incident was the opinion of the
Supreme court Of Appeals TO the effect that he act Of the
last legislature which provides that the state public health
council shall have power to local health officers IS
Of no effect Charleston because the charter Of that city
provides that the mayor Of the city shall have power 10
appoint and remove the city health officer
However the court does not by any means indicate that
the act is dead letter. and probably would be found
that health officer who was nesectfu of his duties to
the extent of endangemg the public health could be re-.
moved in any community in which he no, protected by
local authorities willing extend to him the protection Of
such provision that incorporated IN the Charleston
charter.
The great need in this state is a public opinion which
will make not only health officers but local authorities stand
up strongly favor Of vigorous enforcement Of the health
laws lhatwill come in time and then there will be less
inclination to to legal hair splitting over this vital
matter Mmidpalities really ought to have control over
their health officers, but at the same time they ought
to be willing 10 adopt progressive and not reactionary
policy in this respect
