ARROGANCE AND COAL

Joseph Sherman Frelinghuysen.
Republican sena tor from New Jersey,
is reputable man of good capacity
and information, and when he lashes
the coal barons We believe he thinks
he has good reason. He may be mis-
taken in some of his conclusions but
one will naturally take more stock in
what he says than in the propa ga nda
of the barons. He may be a some
what prejudiced observer. however,
having introduced two coal bills into
the Senate. He charges the National
Coal Association, the Anthracite Coal
Operators Association. The National
Retail Coal Merchants Association
and various state and regional organ
izations with having united i'll one
hig union TO defeat any regulation OF
the coal industry. This is but natur-
al, perhaps, knowing how futile such
measures usually are. II may not be
overlooked, however, that the senator
produces proof that they are resort
ing to Misrepresentation. that they
charge these proposed measures with
looking TO government management
and all that. when as d matter of
fact such is not the case Why?
The answer TO that why" is peril
hent, indeed, there must be a reason,
and the natural inference is that
these coal men don't want the facts
known, for the bills provide a way
for the government to get those facts
and publish them. One bill author
ICES the Interstate Commission 10
make seasonal rates on the railroads
10 encourage early buying and the
other empowers the government to
compel the giving of facts relating
to the coal business. The reason the
coal barons object, he says. is that
tney may retain their strange hold
on the necks and purses of the coal
buyers of this country. Manifestlv
they don't want the facts known and
are misrepresenting the situation.
all OF which 1t isn't likely they would
do if there wasn't a dark hued gen.
tieman in the coal pile they would
keep obscured.
In the recent strikes of the
miners the public sentiment was
with the operators. because il
learned the demands were I'M
reasonable. Is it unreasonable to
suppose that war time prices for coal
should not continue now? The pub
lie sentiment which was with the
operators is now opposed to them.
They have taken the attitude that it
IS none of the public's business They
seem to forget that public cold or
hungry is likely to differ with them.
They don't want this public to know
the facts. Why? Is it because thew
have been taking inordinate profitse
IL would seem so, and will continue to
seem so until the facts are known.
possibly then it may be known to be
80.
The coal operators are expecting
more trouble with their miners and
demand for higher wages. A former
governor Of West Virginia recentlv
told the operators they will need pub-
lie confidence and public sympathy
when that time comes. They haven't
1t now. The public believes that il il
being made the goat of both miners
and operators. How long is that con-
dition to continue before government,
ownership of the mines follows? That.
we know to be undesirable, resort
excusable only in emergency. That
emergency is pretty nearly here.

PROMPT DESTRUCTiOE OF
COTTON STALKS URGED
BY EXTENSION SERVICE

Clemson College, Oct. 17.-At the
closing session of the annual meet
ing of the Extension force on Satur-
day a resolution was passed strongly
urging that farmers lose no time in
plowing under cotton stalks for the
purpose of destroying the chief
Information place of the boil weeil
The resolution declared that the
early destruction of cotton stalks is
the most important single step in
the tight against the weevil; and the
discussion brought out that fact that
ii cotton stalks can not be plowed
under, they should be burned for
these winter hotels of the weevil
must be destroyed, but that plowing
under is just as efficient as burning
and is much more economic as a
matter of soil building.
The planting of a winter cover
crop in the present cotton fields was
also urged as most important
means of weevil destruction, since
weevlls can not live through the
winter in a growing cover crop
such as rye, oats, and vetch, or clover,
for the reason that in order to sur
vlve the winter the wcevil must
dry out" to the extent of losing
one-third of his body moisture and
this he can not do in a field where
cover crop is growing. Cotton
stalks not plowed under or burned
In a field to be planted to a cover
crop should be cut to pieces and
thrown to the ground as early as
possible by stalk cutter 50 that
they may be covered by the growing
cover crop and thus absorb moisture
which means death to the weevil.
Still another step which should be
taken now is the cleaning up of the
ditch banks, fence rows, and other
places where rubbish and trash ac-
cumulate in and around the fields.
An interesting point brought out
In the discussion by N. E. Winters,
extension agronomist, was the fact
that experiments in Louisiana show
ed that when cotton stalks were de-
stroyed before Oct. ID only per
cent. of the weevls survived the
winter, whereas destruction of stalks
on Oct. 27 allowed Is per cent. to
survive; Nov. 25, % per cent; Dec.
z, ~ per cent; between Dec. Is and
Jan. 10, as per cent. It is clear,
therefore. that the earlier the stalks
are destroyed, the more effective the
results will be, but that where early
destruction is impossible, it is better
late than meyer.

GREAT RAILWAY STRIKE
THREATENS COUNTRY

road Brotherhoods and of the
Sa'itchmen's Union Were authorized
Saturday to call a '.prbgressive"
strike on the railways Of the coun-
try to begin at 6 A. M. OGt. 80.
Seventeen roads touching forty
two Of the forty-eight States are
affected and 100000 men are involv-
ed in this first walkout. The strike is
expected to Be complete ON Nov. 2
as employees of other roads are call
ed out.
The public group Of the Federal
Labor Board, which had been called
to Washington by President Harding,
took the first step to stop the threat
ened general railway strike through
out the country by demanding that
roads should cut their rates now be-
fore any new request for cuts in
wages.
The railroad chiefs decided not to
start walkout in the East Oct. 80,
removing the Pennsylvania and Erie
Railroads from the first group on
which It Is to begin.
Railroad heads declared their be-
lief that there would be no strike,
and if one should come they would
be able to run trains.
Complete Tie-Up PIanned
"It is our aim to tie up transporta-
tion SO completely that it will be i'm
possible for train to move" said Mr..
Pierson. eff every telegrspher quits
work that will mean that no train
orders can be sent, and train service
necessarily will be at al standstill.
There is no question but what we will
order membership out On October
so, but the final instructions probably
will not be issued until October 21."

Chicago, Oct. .'18.-Efforts to avert
the nationwide rail strike scheduled
for October 80, tohIght found gov
ernmental agencies, representatives
of the public and some railway labor
unions taking action simultaneously
which all hoped would prevent tie
up of the country's transportation
system through walkout Of nearly
100000 employees in protest of
wage cuts.
Foremost among the moves being
made by the different groups was a
meeting between the United States
railroad labor board and the heads
of five unions, which have already au-
thorized their men to strike, called
for Thursday by the board and at the
request of President Harding, it was
said by board members.
The first move on the part of
public organization to avert a strike
came when the American Farm Bu-
reau federation, representing 1885,
600 farmers, sent petitions to the in
terstate commerce commission asking
an immediate 10 to 20 per cent re.
duction in freight rates on necessities
and announced that it also would ap-
peal 70 The labor beard not to grant
new 10 per cent. wage reduction
which the IN. .rnads have announced
they will seek. but rather to ,ael ally
revise wages IN accordance with the
cost of living il, variou, sections.
Concurrence n these ret.le sts should
avert the strik', the federatica SAID
in its announcement, through which
it volunteered to meet with union and
rail representatives as mediator.
