nothing new because 1t had been

BLAME COAL MEN
SAYS
VII. ANDREWS
National Coal Association
Acted in Public
Interest

Friday mornings issue OF the
Baltimore Sun contained an in
terview with w. l.. Andrews, vice
president OF the Consolidation
Coal company, who Is a resident
of Baltimore, In which he express
ed hts sentiments regarding the
campaign against the coal mining
industry which Is being carried on
by the Calder committee and some
OF the newspapers of the country.
Mr.. Andrews said:
II was in Washington yester-
day, and heard all the testimony.
And / have read the newspaper
accounts OF that testimony care
fully, and want TO say that they
are so distorted and fail SO com
pletely to reflect the testimony
that l am led to the conviction
that they we're inspired.
THE record Of the National
Coal association during the war
is one which will bear any amount
OF investigation and scrutiny. It's
acts were to help the government
and since the war its acts and it's
purposes have been to help the
people.
'Yet what has happened? a
committee of the senate, without
authority in law or in the instruc-
tions given it, descends suddenly
upon legal and law abiding body
as IL it were criminal organiZa-
ton, siezes its papers and sum
mons its officers for testimony
before the committee, when they
are subjected to all manner of OBJ
cjctionable innuendOes.
Things have come to the pass
where a business man, without a
blemish on his character or bust
ness record. may be called before
committee of senators or repre-
sentatiYes and bulIied and black
guarded Ms if he were criminal.
They may call me- don't know
and do it to me. Maybe they
can put me in jail for thinking
like this"
Mr.. Andrews. have you any
knowledge of collision between
officials of the government and
coal men?"
None wahtever | have not
StGh uCAIN "lllSPSi VI any GASA
thing, and I think have been in
position in which l would have
heard about anything Of the sort
that was going on"
you are talking now, are you
not. of the relations between the
government officials and the coal
operators, and Of the relations, If
any, between government officials
and wholesalers or brokers?"
II don't know anything about
the affairs of the wholesalers or
what some of them may have
done"
what do you think of the
charges made by George II. CuBh-
ing. of the American Wholesale
Coal association, about govern
ment officials and others engag-
ing in coal speculation"
ooh, that fellow-he says there
was no coal shortage. Well, there
was. Maybe he means there was
on shortage of coal in the ground.
But coal In the ground and coal
at the furnace door are two very
different items. There was coal
shortage. 1 have nothing to say
about cOal selling for $50 a ton.
1 am not condemning that, or de-
Tending II, or apologizing for it.
81 am not talking about what
was done by wholesalers or 9th
ers. But say that the National
CoGl association, the operators
association, has acted at all times
for the public welfare, and has
not been engaged in any improper
Practice itself nor in connection
with any officials Of the govern
ment."

SHOULD TEACHERS STRIKE?

Successful Farming-Teachers have
long been organized in their county
and state institutes and conventions
and are organized nationally. Some
have lately been joining the American
Federation of Labor as affiliated
unions. What is the next move, a
strike?
In union there is strength We be-
lieve in organization. The teachers
have as much right to organize as the
farmers or anybody. Have the teach
ers the same right to strike as brick
layers or other classes of skilled work
men? The teachers are skilled work
ers. 1t must also be remembered that
they are public servants-working for
the government.
This makes it a different matter.
The teachers are woefully underpaid
in most cases. They csald hardly be
blamed if they organized a strike. Yet
they must know that the public hires
and pays them through its agents and
agents are not as free to increase
salaries as would be the case with a
private corporation or individual. The
taxpayers furnish the amount of money
a school board deems necessary. These
budgets for salaries are not readily
changed. It takes months to adjust
the tax income for school purposes.
So it is matter for public educa-
ton rather than public compulsion by
strike. If teachers attack, the school
boards would be helpless to increase
their salaries on short notice. So we
would suggest that teachers organize,
not to strike but to educate the pat
rons of the schools to the needs of
the teachers. This we have been en-
deavoring to do, and We are pleased
to know that everywhere there is ag-
tation for higher pay to teachers. The
public schools must be maintained
on high plane and the taxpayers
must come across" with more pay
for the teachers or there will be no
teachers worthy of the name. Money
talks.
We would suggest that the rural
school question Is one to which farm
bureaus may we'll give serious consid-
Grafton 1t is not the teachers prob
lem SO much as the farmers problem

CAN'T RAISE BREAD PRICES

Sioux Falls Press-For the present,
bread prices will not be raised in
Sioux Falls. This was the substance
Of report turned in yesterday by
the local fair price committee to K.
w. Fiske, United States district at
torney and to a delegation Of local
bakers who turned the matter over
to them for investigation. After go
ing into price details as submitted to
them by the bakers OF the city their
finding was that, IAN increase at the
present time is not justified"
Notice that prices on both small
and large loaves of bread would be
advanced were published about three
weeks ago. Immediate action was
taken by United States Attorney Fiske
who held that he would consider the
increase in prices a violation of the
Lever food control act. The bakers,
contending that the advance was
justified in face Of the rapidly rising
costs of ingredients, submitted figures
to Mr.. Fiske who later turned them
over to the fair price committee for
investigation.
