ISSUES THE COAL sTgIhE.

The decision of the British railroad
and transport workers 10 join the miners
adds 10 the grave complexities OF a
situation in which Lloyd Georges genius
for concillatory Intervention Will be re
ouired. The situation in the British
coal industry is something akin TO that
with which the problem of the railroads
in this country has familiarized US.
After a smell Of government control the
miners have returned TO private owner
shin. The men have become accustomed
N the peculiar advantages which war
time conditions conferred upon them.
Now they have not only TO adapt them
selves to the normal industrial laws OF
poace-time. bat they must also recognize
tho exigencies of a period Of widespread
economic depression.
The Miners Federation has been try
ing for the past two years TO discover
a formula which will enable the coal
industry TO evade the laws of supply
and demand. When the national need
was great they enjoyed high wages and
the power of skilled workers IN 4 de-
plcted labor market. Now demand has
fallen off, unemployment 10 rife, and
wages and prices have declined, but the
miners are unWAilnS 10 uEaW tAESC III :
cumstances the only possible conclusion
under present economic conditions. They
believe that the government should pro-
vide an artificial substitute for the
good times" Contrary TO all normal
practice, the wealthy miners are 10 be
| obliged to make good the deficiencies OF
| the poorer. Instead Of receiving wages
| graded according to areas, the miners
| suggest that profits should be pooled
| so as to enable q national wage scale
| to he established. The government sub
/ sidy Is to be replaced by subsidies from
one mining company TO another. The
! owners have refused this, just as th'
government itself has refused 10 con
tinue it's subsidy after March 81. Th,
alternative is a scale of wages baset
upon the capacity OF each coal area
with a share of the profits wherever
they exceed a legitimate return OF
| capital. The task of the British gov
| ernment is TO find a way of reconcilini
| these conflicting proposals short of ma
| tionaliza tion.-New York Evening Post

aRAPFIFS- Is DEAD.

The death Of z. W. Hornung, creator
~ "Raffies." removes from the fiction
world one Of the most prolific writer's
of the age. For several decades his
picturesque tales. in which the thief was
always the hero. were the most popu-
lar form Of summer reading.
Hornung followed in the footsteps OF
masters. such as the author of Gil Bias,
and Balzac: but unlike the masters. he
could not fill the steps in which he
trod. He merely paced within them.
Baizac. and others caused the reader TO
admire the mentality of their rogues.
while creating an aversion to their acts.
The English writer. with bold strokes
upon his canvas, drew likeable thieves,
whom one could not help but admire
That was the talent OF the man. One
would not say that he ranks as a
genius; he lacked the divine spark Of
Characterization. But he made his pup
pets perform in an admirable manner.
which held the attention from chapter
one, page one, until "fnis" was reached.
The enormous popularity OF his mys-
terry. detective, and rogue stores shows
that the public must have what one
critic has termed "the literature of es-
cape."-that as, q form Of writing
which pictures life as we would like
TO have it, and which allows US 70 es-
cape from the workaday world into the
land Of make believe.

/ ventures OF bold men and brave. Horn

a bit of excitement to make existence
