 Two Strikes, Coal Most Threatening

for coal as it comes from the pit mouth.
 Industry slows Up.
 The twin strikes apparently ac- complished material results in slow ing down industry during the week. On the railroads there are several important centers of congestion and others are developing. Notwith- standing these spotty conditions, however, the rail situation, in the words of officials here. Is decidedly looking up" The movement of freight has improved they claim. during the week. and the growth of congestion has been pretty we'll checked. Some of the roads are claiming as much AS so per cent of the strikers back at work.
 Car shortage in the non union coal fields cut heavily into production during the week. On some of the roads, however, capacity of facilities had already been reached. Again the situation was spotty, improve ments were noted In some sections and conditions were not so good iu others.
 Government Control.
 Officials here as hoping that the Presidents plan for the resumption of mining will be successful. but they are not unduly optimistic. The suggestion that the government talk, over the properties and operate then during the crisis-not all the prop critics. but sufficient mines in certain fields to meet national requirements --has been engaging more attention during the past 4S hours. It Is felt that this win be dono as a last re- course and not until the Presidents

 Washington. July sg.--rho effort being made by coal operators to run their properties will hardly result in sufficient coal being mined to meet the nations requirements, ae- cording to sdvices to Washington from the coal fields. In Western Pennsylvania and elsewhere some of the strikers will go back to work, but the majority. reports indicate, will remain cn strike. In Illinois the operators apparently are making no plans whatever to reopen their mines under the Harding plan. In Indiana, martial law probably would have to be proclaimed. before the mines could reopen as the miners are in control of state machinery for licensing workers in the pit.
 Below Danger Line.
 Meantime production of coal has dropped still further, according to preliminary reports to the geological survey. This weeks output from non-union mines probably will fall below the figure of last week. The supply of coal on hand, according to the same authority, has touched or gone below the danger mark. Many trains have been annulled because of lack of locomotive fuel and indus tries in the middle west have been hit hard by the shortage.
 As an illustration of conditions 1t is reported that the purchasing agents of more than 50 industrial and utility plants have taken up their headauarters at Madisonville. Ky. and are bidding against each other

Corona Coal Co. Case Versus Barge
 Line Is Dismissed

Interstate commerce commission has dismissed case of Corona Coal company vs. Warriar transportation authorities, in which the complainant alleged that 1t was dlscrIminatcd against in three instances as follows;
 First, in that rates on river bank coal to Mobile and New Orleans via barge line are less than rates on rail and river coal from inland mines.
 Second, that certain charges at the Violet barge station at New Or leans were unfair to complainant.
 Third. that allowing 20 per cent differential on commodities other than coal and denying same to coal was discriminatory.
 The commission decided that 1t had no Jurisdiction in port to port rates and decided adversely to complain ant in the other two points, thus dis missing the case

themselves without coming to the court just as men in other contro- versies settle their litigation out of court upon a basis of what they know their legal rights to be.
 Lesson To All.
 Tn my judgment every coal mining state could solve it's problems by the adoption of an industrial law which would guaranteA the publiS against the cessation of the industry, guarantee the miners fair and just wage, and the operators protection against unjust demand. We have reached point where two things are perfectly apparent. First, the strike is not remedy, and its appii- cation to the situation Is always more ruinous to the public. the labor CTS and the operators than 1t is helpful. Second. arbitration is a failure because 1t at best leads only to an unsatisfactory compromise Those who sit on boards of arbitra- tion are not ju7ges. but advocates of one side or the other.
 An indus isf court is an effort to secure the composition of the con troversy l ' impartial judges who have no interest in the case except the interest of justice.
 Other Guarantees. !. Impartial judges have been able ! in thig country to secure justice is relation to the mos. sacred rights 1 They pass upon property, liberty life. They regulate the relations oi parent and child of husband anc wife. The most intimate and minute rights of the citizen pass under the survey of ..ea chosen to guarantee justice to an. If government may guarantee to people justice in al these matters. 1t is rather un-Arnsrf. can to believe that government could not also guarantee justice to mer l in their controversy with their em. | ployers.
 Elaborate Machinery,
 | The efforts which the federal gov ernment thus far ha., made at leg | islation have stopped just where tn, usefulness of such legislation nigh
 begin. In the United Sattes laboi board an elaborate machinery ha. been created for the survey of living conditions, the investigation O.
 wages and working conditions
 Every power has been given tn,
 board to arrivo at all tho facts ant to have In hand the means of reach ing Just award. After creating
 this elaborate machinery the fedora { government left out the engine. Tho, | gave 1t no power of final decision They simply created an expensive debating society which represent!
 only the longines of government
 with none of It's dignity and power 1 The proposal that government
 should create an impartial tribuna to pass upon wage controversial
 relates, of course. only to the essen tial industries. which under the Kan sas law are declared to be food fuel, clothing and transportation.

 The industrial act provides an im-
 perial tribunal of three men whose
 business 1t Is to adjudicate controver-
 sfes between operators and miners
 when two parties can no longer
 agree. The law also provides as a
 last resort that the state may take
 over the coal mines and operate them
 in the public interest for the purpose
 of protecting the people against a
 famine in fuel. The court has power
 to fix minimum wage scales, to pro-
 tect those who are at work against
 interference in any form either by
 violence, threats, intimidation or so-
 called peaceful pickcting.
 New Contract Made.
 In Kansas immediately prior to
 the cessation of mining on April i.
 the court of industrial relations
 made q temporary order per hitting the continuance of the old wage scale and working condi- tions for a period of 50 days to ena-
 ble the operators and miners to be- gin, and if possible conclude negotia- tions for a new contract. The op- orators did not object to such order, and offered to commence negotia- tions immediately. The mine leaders declined the benefits of such order. The industrial court then directed the operators to resume mining for the purpose of meeting the Kansas demand as 1t arose, guaranteeing protection to the mines and to the workers.
 The operations were resumed at once, with the understanding that the mine owners should keep suf- ficient number of properties operat- ing to produce all the coal needed for Kansas domestic and industrial uses. If the operators themselves failed in this, then tho state would take over the mines. The operators have been successful for many weeks and are now producing over half of the normal annual output of the mines. The state guarantees that /, the men who are working in the mines shall have full protection from | those who are out and that invasion | of the rights of any man who is at work by striker will be promptly Ispunished.
 Arrests Few.
 It has been necessary to make only 1 a few arrests. Troops have not been needed to protect the rights of the men. at work. Something like 30 | per cent of the normal force is now pTOQuCinB ONtT OU PCt Soht Oi thc i normal output. AS the demand for 1 coal increases, more mines are open- | ed and the number of men willing | to work grows every day.
 There has been in these opera | tions no controversy as to wages. The operators and the men now at
 work have agreed to rate of com | pensation, which seems to be entirely satisfactory to both sides. It has been understood from the beginning
 that if any complaint was made as | to the compensation the industrial | court would take the situation in hand and determine the wage. The
 mere presence of this protection to I both sides has been all that is nec- essary. When the operators realized | that the men would be protected against unfair wage and the men 1 realized that they could depend upon 1 the state for just adjudication. l they have settled the question for

present plan will have been found ineffective.
 Mine workers, it Is pointed out, will hardly be in a position to with stand the Presidents command 10 re- turn to work at their old wages in governments operated mines. They would be Justified, 1t is argued, by supporters. but would find It difficult to find Justification in striking against the government itself.
 Virtually all lines of industry re- fleet the Industrial situation in de- creased production and orders.
 President DeIibcrates.
 The President is studying the crisis to the exclusion of many subjects which would otherwise occupy his at tentfon. He is further along with developments, perhaps, in the coal situation than with respect to the rail strike. The latter has been left to the government agency designed to cope with it, for the most part Ii has been only within the past 10 days that the President has devoted much of his time to studying the railroad situation with the same concentration he has devoted to the coal strike.
 Of the two the coal strike is re- garded as the most pressing. That Strlhe lB gwen pFtCeueHce DecuuSe II is aimed at the heart of industry It's fuel supply--and because whole producing sections of the country including the entire anthracite field have been locked tight for 16 6tweeks The rail strike, while distressing, Is not regarded as being in the same class as the coal strike. The rail- roads are running, though service has been crippled, and immediate danger of transportation tie-uI seems to have passed.
