JOHN BRoPHY, president OF District
No. 2, United Mine Workers OF
America, disputes the Governments
estimate that bituminous miners
made an average annual wage last
year OF $l,357. He says the earnings
of union workers in the great coal
mining region of Central Pennsyl-
vania averaged an actual $3.50 IN
1921. or $14.60 week. But il his
figures are right because. as he de-
clares. there was scarcely more than
two days Of work week to the man,
they show that the wage scale and
the whole soft coal mining system
arc emphatically wrong.
or what use to the union workers
Is sky high wage scale that gives
them low water earnings? In the in.
tensely competitive soft coal fields
the non-union miners AT a lower scale
averaged much higher earnings than
BRoPHY's union men earned, because
the non-union mines could give their
labor more work. The non-union
mines could give their labor the work
because they could sell their coal.
They could sell their coal because at
the lower costs OF mining II they
could put 1t on the market at lower
prices than the union mines at their
higher costs OF mining could put their
coal on the market.
But. when all Is said and done, the
mere recital of these facts offers no
solution OF the persistently grave
coal problem which harnesses the ma
tion year after year, generation after
generation.
What the coal mines need, union
as well as non.union, Is chance to
do business on reasonable basis.
What the miners need are steady
jobs at a square days pay for a
square days work, six days In the
week and fifty-two weeks In the year.
less adequate vacations. What the
country needs Ia constant and ade.
quate supply OF coal at prices that Will
permit the industries of the North,
South. East and West to use it.
None of this Is possible as con-
tinuous operation and stable system
under the present chaotic conditions
OF the bituminous mining industry.
But all of II can be made possible
and II can be made workable through
complete reorganization of the In
dustry, with the mines OF the prin.
cipal coal districts grouped into a
few great holdings under experienced,
competent private ownership, their
operating costs regionally standard
lied. the rich mines helping to carry
the poor mines, the owners. the work
ers and the public getting fair treat
ment, all under Government sanction
and regulation.
The longer such a permanent and
nationwide settlement OF the disturb
ing and dangerous coal mine troubles
is delayed, the greater becomes the
chance OF naturalization of the
mines with all the political abuse
and scandal that indelibly stamp bus
iness undertakings into which the
Government blunderingly enters.

IreIand's One Day Strike.

While the one day strike In south
ern Ireland was only gesture II was
an important gesture. IT was planned
as nationwide protest against

Renal Wants Peace.

The Angora Government has sent a
reply TO the recent proposal OF the
Entente Powers for an armistice be.
tween the Greeks and the Turkish Ma
tionalists which appears to offer a
solution for the perplexing Near East
problem. The reply, in the first place,
indicates a strong desire for peace in
Turkey; in the next place, 1t prom
ises those guarantees for the protec-
tion OF the minority races which
we're asked by the Paris Conference.
The proposal for the armistice was
formulated at the conference Of the
Foreign Ministers Of Great Britain.
France and Italy at Paris last
month. II was promptly accepted by
the Sultan's Government at Constan,

by the Government at Athens. The

Let Us Do Ii Right.

Chairman LAskER's South Ameri-
cen shipping rate war involves more
than the great bulk and value OF the
carrying trade between this country
and the lower continent. 1t involves
the maritime prestige OF this nation
on the western hemisphere.
The overseas traffic between the
United States and our southern neigh
bors is itself OF big moment, with a
trend In recent years to rapidly In
creasing tonnage and value. Out OF
Argentina's total imports OF $685.
200 In 1920. for example, $224.-
5000, or more than one-third, we're
from the United States OF her ex-
ports OF 1895. 100000 only $1s2,00o,-
900 were shipped to us, but at that
the exports and imports belonging TO
US were near enough TO balance to
make an attractive haulage proper
tion for American ships.
Brazil offered even better cargo
chances for American bottoms. Her
total imports were $3.50, 900 and
S1s2, 900 OF them from the United
States. Her total exports were $633,
100000 and $685. 100000 OF them to
the United States. Chile took from
the United States $4,000, 900 out OF
a total of $l44,000,000 imports and
shipped to the United States $17s,-
100000 out OF a total OF s27S, 000,0 900
exports. The foreign trade proper
tions of the smaller South American
countries were not very different from
that OF the larger countries.
But aside and apart from the
South American commerce with the
United States, which soon after the
war ran we'll beyond billion dollars
year, IL there Is one place where
the American flag ought TO be kept
flying over busy and splendid
merchant marine IL Is here In our
western seag between North America
and South America. II may never
be possible to do the business ut a
profit made out OF the traffic itself
30 long as wages on our ships are
so much higher than wages on Brit
ish and other foreign ships are, food
and repair bills so much heavier and
general expenses so much more bur
densomc.
The Nrw YORK HERALD cannot see
how American ships can compete
with British and other foreign ships
on such uneven terms unless the
United States Government pays the
difference In one form or another.
But the test is well worth making
IN the South American trade II any.

test II behooves the United States
