The independent steel makers who have been
getting fancy prices for many months have cut to
the level fixed by the United States Industrial
board in March, 1919, and Pittsburgh dispatches
say there is talk among steel men of reduction
in wages within the next few weeks. It will be
hard for the steel corporations to make the public
see the justice of such move. The United States
Steel corporation has maintained prices at the In
dustrial Board level all along and has managed to
pay dividends and the, prevailing rate Of wages
both Are the independents less efficient? If they
are their condition is a powerful argument in favor
If industrial consolidation.

Chat

It's Great to be in Love!
Don't you truly thing some
thing should be done about
these giddy girls and their young
men lovers who talk on the tele-
phone hour after hour while others
wait to get the line? Sometimes l
feel much like smiling sympathet-
ically at the young people and
again l want to take them out and
deliver first hand spankfngs.
Last evening I listened to a con-
versation which for pure waste of
time had anything beat l have yet
learned about. A young man from
out Of town called a young lady In
Fairmont. The conversation SEEM
ed to be about nothing in pnrticu-
lar, but the way in which those two
managed to string that line Of talk
into endless length was a marvel
to me.
Whatever the young man said
will forever remain a secret-at
least to me. Doubtless the tele-
phone girls could tell If they would.
Tho young lady's replies we're
along this line:
l can't tell now I'll think about it.
Well, perahps. Yes, indeed. No,
indeed! tell you don't know.
It all depends. can't promise.
Well, now can't. What's the mat
ter? think you take too much for
granted l tell you I'll let you
know. Are you How do you know
Yes, indeed
And SO on-until the young man
was cut of by central and told his
time was up. Did that stop him?
I'll tell the world 1t did mot, He
simply went ont Of the telephone

PEELED to close their doors because Of the effects
of the sudden drop the price of grain The farm

the folks who feel that the federal reserve policy

their crops off the market is wrong will make
study of this localized financial stringency in North

Gimme the Lad with the Sense Q
Rumor,

Gimme the Lad with the Sense OF
Aumor.
What with weddings and funerals
and births these days we are very
busy.
And II 1t wasn't for the few who
have a sense of humor we'd grow
disguised at times with life's hand
outs, You know there never was q
happening which didn't bring dis
satisfaction or misery to someone
in this world. The weddings, II
they are large and magnificent,
arouse feeling of Jealousy in the
hearts Of the big majority who
must be content with Just plain
weddings and no trimmings. NOT
that just plain wedding Isn't per-
fectly wonderful when one draws
the right life partner. The funerals
are always tragic and ne one ever
envies those. They take tearfully
big slice out OF the heart and leave
it in wretchcd condition for long
time. And then along sOmes a
birth. There are thousands OF wo-
men who envy the new mother.
This know So that even births
bring misery as we'll as Joy, After
all we should be most thankful for
those individuals who look on life
most enthusiastically, taking the sor-
rows and Joys and disasters and
shaking them all up together into
life cOncoction of fair suitability.
No matter what happens, make the
best of It, says the man with the
heart OF humorist, the soul of a
CHILD and the disposition Of a can
airy bird. We may laugh at him
often and sometimes we say he's
Irresponsble-but he has n lot to
do with making life livablO for all
OF us.

COAL INDUSTRY IN DANGER

tsOR5 SOME TIME. the, New York Tribune has
M been paying considerable attention 10 the fuel
situation throughout the county. No one familiar
with that newspaper would be likely to regard as an
advocate of undue government interference with buSi-
mess. and yet in an article which amounts to edito-
nal summing up Of the coal situation it says:
K "a We had Federal coal board during
+ ~ the war, and its activities at least re-
WI pressed gross extortion. 1t put out Of
q business last spring. Since then the lack
~, of firm control from the outside has been
- sadly felt. The Lever act Is on the statute
g book, but only few small,fry have ever
- been picked of by the voluble takers who
y have been enforcing it. The evils of the
Il. situation need to be handled at the source
- not sniped at from the outskirts.
SssssS The public is weary of being bed by
o speculative mlddlemen. If those who mine
coal cannot rid themselves OF these
- eeches Federal supervision may be help
IA = TO them. 1t could hardly make matters
worse for the afflicted consumer than
" IN they have been recently
Coming from such source remarks like these are
ptofoundy significant. They mean that if bills pro-
ving or federal control of the coal mining industry
ale introduced in congress they are not going 10 be
entirely without The support Of influential elements in
lie Republican party and among the big newspapers
oEthe country Obviously it up to the coal pro-
dItcers Of the country to display anxiety over
Ills situation, to be doing what they to speed up
The reforms which have already been undertaken and
tds institute any other measures which the situation
seems to demand Along that line one Of the things
they must do is to take measures TO discipline the coal
operators who have been doing business the bland
assumption that they are their own bosses and do
assthey please.
In theory that view is sound but it will not hold
good in practice. At time when great industry is
on trial profiteerng and indifference to sound business
standards on the part of few individual operators
