THE MINERS SIDE

MUCH Of what the anthracite miners
AVl committee contended in the open state
ment that led to another deadlock and an
other temporary adjournment of the confer
ence called with the operators in New York
for discussion Of terms for a settlement Of
the general coal strike has been charged in
successive Investigations Of the fuel trade.
Thus. the miners charge that operators
manage to control prices in the retail market
through n system Of subsidies for distribu-
tors has been made before. The allegation
that coal companies maintain semi secret
agreements with allied rail lines TO prevent
anything like free shipment and an open
market has been repeated at various times
and places with mOnOtonOUS persistence.
One assertion Of the miners committee is
unanswerable. The present labor cost Of Il
ton of coal is $3.50. 4 II per cent wage
cut, such as the operators propose, would
mean decrease of only seventy five cents
on ton Of coal. Is that all that the public
can expect from the coal men in these days
of falling prices and general readjustment:

SOME TRANSIT SPLENDoRS

NHIIE imaginative powers of Council nave
i been spritedy displayed in the sudden
call for increased urban transportation fach-
ities on a magnificent scale. Among the
alluring conceptions, none too dehnlteiy
outlined, are a widencd traffic north and
south boulevard. with four track elevated
railway. and new traffic thoroughfare be-
tween Broad street and the SChuy!kill as
substitutes for the Broad street subway.
This last more familiar project, however,
Is by no means shelved. since the resolutions
calling for a broadSde of information from
the Departments of Transit and Public
Works include the call for further details
concerning the underground line from the
City Hall to Olney avenue
Philadelphia is no stranger to phantom
subwuys and elevated roads. In its mind ;
eye it has beheld also traffic arteries run
ming toward all the principal points of the
compass Nevertheless, the unexpected stir
rings in Council at this time are by no means
20 be dcplorci. In addition to existing needs,
II is imperative that practical consideration
be accorded the serious problem of transpor-
tation during the SesQui- Centennial period.
As the situation stands now, the community
Il incapable of handling such immense
crowds of visitors as are forecast.
Out of the somewhat vague wclter OF
proposals it is necessary, however, that some
definite measures OF relief should be adopted
But whether the fundamentals of the old
comprehensive plans should be airily dis
missed is Il subject that demands the most
earnest study.
There can be no question that the most
. serious need Of the city is rapid and et!i-
cient north and south transit The Broad
street subway would supply this. costly
station already has been erected under and
near the City Hall. Is it wise TO ignore this
fact and all its correlated features in wave
Of enthusiasm for alternate proposals nebu-

THE URBAN NIGHT HIDEOUS

IA CCORDING to the tenor Of a petition
IA presented 10 Council by residents of
Spruce street the ease with which the inno-
cent sleep knits up the raveled sleeve Of care
has been exaggerated.
Heavy motortruck traffic, shrieking sirens
and rafting chassis are. according to this
plant, making night hdeous in distinctly
residential neighborhood. and the city leGs-
lators are asked to supply n remedy.
1t is suggested that the huge cross town
commercial vehicles be barred from Spruce
street between the hours Of T. NJ. and
A. NJ Whether this traffic, which has
vastly increased in this neighborhood within
the last five years. could conveniently be di-
verted elsewhere is a problem of some mo-
ment.
1t is indisputable that the nuisance is
acute, and is aggravated by almost incessant
and largely needless horn footing in the
hours supposedly allocated to slumbcr
1t is beginning to be demonstrated that
the surest way for Phladephians to attain
rest at night is to abandon the center Of
town. Save for apartment house dwellers,
this exodus is undoubtedly under way. The
combination of enormous commercial motor
traffic and narrow streets is formidable and
distressing.

OUR WET OCEAN

THE terrible news is out in Washington.
i All the world outside of the United
States, mariners on deep waters and the
very gulls Of the air, knew it long ago but
the mere whisper of its significance has
shocked the Senate and awakened emotions
that can have an outlet only in an earth
quake Of oratory. High wines and beers
and, for all we know, other beverages of
greater potentiality and dynamic power are
being sold and actually drunk upon vessels
owned by the United States Government and
operated by the Shipping Board! Now it
Is up to Mr.. Nolstead to demand that all
these sinful ships be sunk and Mr.. Bryan
must mourn in public. 1t is time for Billy
Sunday to prophesy wrath to be visited
upon our ships in the forms of lightning and
hurricane and roaring. destructive seas.
Evidence to prove what the gulls and mari
ners and travellers knew before is being
gathered. according to the current news re-
ports. for the Dry Bloc in Congress. And,
perhaps. for Mr.. Anderson. of the Anti
Saloon League
We are in bad way. Now and then word
would come into the country that when
Shipping Board ship got beyond the three
mile limit ice might sometimes be heard
tinkling in glasses Stewards moved around
freely with bottles and glasses. quite un-
afraid of raiders or an onslaught from what
the dry advocates joyfully call 1.-THE fleet
vessels Of the dry navy"
THE Shipping Board, when asked about
these shocking rumors, was reticent and.
now that one may remember all, slightly
uncomfortable. 1t gave no definite answer.
Some Of the board officials expressed de-
sire to operate passenger ships in fair com
petition with other lines. 1t was said. too.
that for a long time. while the dry ideal was
maintained in the fleets of the new Ameri-
can merchant marine. the ships went back
and forward across the oceans empty Of
passengers.
One may only suppose that. rather than
ditch all the ships and take the American flag
off the ocean once again. the Shipping Board
succumbed weakly to temptation. Now the
Government Of the United States is techni-
cally guilty of violating its own most talked
of law and ignoring the most famous amend
ment to the Constitution.
There may be way of escape. If Mr..
Eolstead can tell the Shipping Board how
to get travellers to travel on dry ships all
will be well. The Shipping Board will GER
tainly be glad to pay him largely for
workable suggestion.

the curtain did not fall at Genoa. The
Prime Minister is ready to prove that the
much heradcd international conclave, which
was to have established decisions in realities,
was only a prologue.
Against this species Of maneuvering his
political antagonists have been powerless

at this time by the lure of progress at The

most ndroit statesman in Europe
Naturally, therefore, Mr.. Lloyd George
deals but scantily in political conclusions.
In the bright lexicon of his skillful opti-
mism there is always more to come. He has
argued and apparently sustained the propo-
sition that there was no last act at Genoa.
The artistry Of such stage management is

CARY'S SOUND SENSE

IF PRESIDENT HARDING had said
i what Judge Gary said in his annual ad-
dress before the American Iron and Steel
Institute he would have been hailed as a
clear thinking statesman.
The Judge urged that Congress take the
tarih out of politics by accepting in gem
eral way the recommendations OF an expert
and impartial tariff commission that il play
no favorites in its tendency to regulate
things: that it substitute n sales tax for the
Income tax, and thar it forget the soldier
bonus until the Nation is less severely bur
dened financially.
1t is admitted that the periodical political
4 revisons Of the tariff upset business. that
the income tax bears oppressivcly upon some
and Is escaped by others who should pay
more, and that the country is in no financial
rendition to incur an obligation of $4,000
OO0,0O0 or 81 900, 100000 involved in the
bonus scheme. Judge Gary is 70 be con
graduated for saying these things SO clearly

AN AIRPLANE REAWAKENING

DROMISE Of passenger air service,
L starting July ], between New York and
Atlantic City represents at least n partial
awakening from the apathy with which
Americans have regarded mode of transit
already standardized abroad.
Despite q certain proportion Of accidents,
Of which the collision on the London Paris
route Is the most frcakish example, air lines
in Europe have become accepted as among
the cOnvcntionNlItics of transportation.
Paris Warsaw airplanes have been for some
time in service. Bookings 10 n number OF
important points can be made by lay travel
ers in several leading continental cities.
Equipment and accommodation have been
rapidly improved.
1t is curious that Americans, with the plo-
neering inspiration Of Langley and the
Wrights, have been SO tardy In opening the
resources Of aerial navigation to the gem
eral public. Even the Governments postal
air system is evincng elements OF decay
Airplane travel is popularity gcrarded as
rash venture.
The possibility Of restorn" confidence and
eliClting Il new interest lies in the New
York Atlantic city program, providing the
machines are thoroughly up to date. the
pilots sk!llful, the prices fair and the pres
entntion of the service carries the aspect Of
authority.
The sure way to depress the airplane as
a practical factor in transportation is to
emphasize it as marvel, devised exclusively
for reckless daredevils.
