Result of Misjudgn1ent
Is Wild Scramble for Coal.

But the most unfortunate result is
that there has been no check on the
universal scramble for coal. Every
country is short and every country is
fighting desperately to lay It's hands
on what belongs to its neighbors. All
forts of French craftsmanship are
directed toward getting control of the
German coal fields and using them for
the political ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
lew German Republic. The Teschen
.oal field, which was the powerhouse
of the old Austro- Hungarian Empire,
has now passed into the hands of two
fragments of that empire, and the
Czecho- Slovakians and the Poles are
struggling for possession OF what
ought to belong to all the economic
politically dissolved. The Vienna mu-
nicipality cannot even get coal from
it's own mines in the Teschen fields.
In these circumstances, with all
Europe clamoring for coal \and with
England in command of the only avail
able surplus, the strike has been a
European calamity of the gravest
kind. 1t means tho withdrawal of no
less than 10000 900 tons OF coal from
the immediate resources of the Cont
nent, and 1t will enormously aggravate
The distress OF this coming winter
everywhere.
With the exception of the firebrands
on both sides who wanted a fight to
a finish, every one rejoices that the
peril passed before the whole industry
of the nation was brought to a stand
still.
But In view of the nature of the set
Element 1t seems little short Of a crime
that the strike was allowed to develop
II the Government had any prestige
left. this gratuitous catastrophe put
an end to 1t. But 1t had lost all pres
tige. Nothing is left but a majority
that hangs together to avoid hanging
separately.

Irish Drama Clouded
by Nin7ble Conjuring.

The same nimble conjuring clouds
the Irish drama. A Home Rule bill
nobody wants Is being pushed through
Parliament on one hand and Ireland
is being devastated on the other
hand-reduced to unexampled bitter
ness by such wanton follies as those
which have eliminated in the death Of
the Lord Mayor of Cork and other
hunger strikers. The public didn't
want to see these follies perpetrated
Almost every class of British public
opinion was against the tragedy which
was enacted on q bed in the Brixton
: Jail.
l can find no one who does not re-
gard the incident as one Of the most
humiliating blunders in our deplora BILE
Irish record. 1t Is made all the more
humillatirg by the grotesque fenials
by SIR Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland on the subject OF TO
prisals. Floggings. burnings and mid
night raids have been proved by over
whelming evidence by responsible jour-
nalists representing newspapers like
the Manchester Gunrdidn, the Daily
NelCs and the Westminster Gazette,
but still the Irish Secretary. with
astounding effrontery. persists in deny
ing what everybody knows is true.
The result Of things like this is that
confidence in the Government and
faith in its words have sunk to lower
level than ever before in the memory
of living man. 1t is this loss Of con-
fidence that Is at the root of the unrest
In the labor world. Men have got 1t
into their heads that the Government
Is not to be trusted; that they can get
a square deal only by direct action
