Soft Coal.

| Soft coal is quoted this week at ten
and twelve dollars at the mine, and
the prospects are that the price will
continue to increase enormously.
The things that sets us mulling is
why this condition of things should
exist, and what sort of equity is
there in law that will permit prof
iteering of this character or any 9TH
er and restrict men with the rigor Of
law in the case of usury.
Why in the name of heaven have
We got to listen to eternal ding-oong
about legal interest, the perpetual
roar of demagogues, like bull frogs,
condemning men who loan money
above six per cent to the bowels of
hell, and fawn and cringe and kiss
the hand of the man who robs the
poor with twenty-dollar coal, or the
man who takes an ell when you con-
cede him an inch in trade.
What sort of political economy is
1t, we say, that recognizes the rights
of unlimited profiteering and holds
the sword of Damocles over the head
of usury? What kind of government
is it we have that holds the money
lender responsible to law and allows
the millionaire profiteer to go Scot
free?
We have no brief for the money
lender, but we do say that if there
IS a law for one there should be
law for the other. 1t is not simply
extortion. There is another name
for the thing that is now being prac-
ticed by the coal operators. The
cost of mining and transportation is
the same.
We are not willing to fly to the
ills of socialism goyernment owner
ship. But we do say that there is
something radically wrong with our
system when business men of one
class are penalized by law and those
OF another class are exempt from the
operation of the law.
If ever we had fair sample Of the
Inconsistencies of government and
legal processes, we have it now in
the price of coal. If ever men were
guilty of crime against the unwritten
aw the coal miners and operators are
in the case.

Death at Cobb's Chapel.

Aunt Callie Smith, wife of ]. T.
Smith and sister to the late Pitts
and Foster McMurry, was born Dec.
81, 1845, died July 8, 1922, at their
home near Cobb's Chapel in District
Number Twelve.
She was married to ]. T. Smith
Feb. z, 1854 Aunt Callie was con-
sistent member of the Baptist Church
from early life, faithful to her church
and friends to the highest degree. For
more than fifty years this home was
the center of the We Try best social and

agement at this hospitable home.
She was the special friend of the
children of the community, always
pleading their cause in times of
trouble, and giving them good and
wholesome advice for their future
good.
Every one loved Aunt Callie, both
old and young. In her latter years
her infirmities prevented her from
visiting her neigh bors and friends
ve-y often, but her home became the
center of the socal circle where
peighbors and friends would I-ect to
pass a social word.
1t may well be said of her that
Earth never pillowcd upon its
bosom trder daughter, nor Heaven
opened it's gates to receive a more
beautiful spirit" There are many
who remember her with gratitude
and drop tear at her going.
She leaves a husband and host of
friends to mourn at her departure.

The Railroad Strike.

In a letter from Mr.. S. M. FELTON,,
chairman of the Association of Rail
way Executives, to Mr. B. F. Bush,
president of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad Company, public express
sion in regard to the strike of shop
employees is sought, and copy has
been furnished the newspapers set
ting forth the fact that the Railroad
Labor Board has no power to enforce
it's decisions except the weight of
public opinion. Therefore the fol-
lowing in regard to wages and the
rights of employees is given to the
press for publication:
The Transportation Act has given
the Railroad Labor Board no power
OF enforcing it's decisions except the
power Of public opinion hence the
necessity of public sentiment making
itself known and felt The Railroad
Labor Board fixed the new wages of
the shop employees, effective July /,
after full hearing and due considera-
ton of the cost of living, the wages
paid for similar work in other in
dustries, and all other relevant cir
cumstances. The scale of wages fixed
was approved, not only by the three
representatives of the railroad COM
panies, but also by all three of the
public representatives on the Board.
The rates of pay as compared with
previous rates for the important
crafts involved, as stated in the de-
c-sion of the Board, are as follows:
Average Hourly Rates:
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1922-07-28

Expressions from the business or
CARNATIONS along the following lines
should be urged:
First. Recital that free and unin-
terrupted movement of traffic is es-
sential to the safety and prosperity
of this community.
Second. The Transportation Act
provided the method for settling dis
putes between the railroads and the
employees, and the public has the
right to expect that it will not be
made to suffer by either the railroad
companies or the employees arbitra-
rily disregarding the decisions of the
Labor Board.
In publishing the above the news
papers are more or less sought to take
81 me sort of view of the strike. 1t
is hard to enter into a proposition of
this kind without being subject to
the keenest scrutiny.
Therefore we are bound to say that
the principle of law enforcement can
not be questioned by any one. Ev-
ry man has a right to choose his job.
If it is not satisfactory he has right
to quit. But no man has legal
right to interfere with another in the
exercise of the same privilege. We
are going to say further that the laws
of the country should be respected.
Thus far the line of duty seems
plain But in regard to the equities
between capital and labor, that is an
other question.
1t has often occurred to US that
the burden of pressure has always
been brought upon labor. Capital
does not seeem to feel that its earn
ing power should be matter of in
dustrial equation Apub1ic concern.
Capital takes the pos on, from all ,
that there Auld be no

restrictions, legal, moral or other
wise, to interfere with its activitie
in amassing wealth. 1t holds it
earning power to be sort of divine
right. And while this is so 1t takeI
a very positive stand il regard t.
the limitations of the earning power
of labor.
So, in the matter of adjusting raj
costs to suit the conditions which re-
quire lower transportation rates, why
must the mechanics and laborers bt
asked to make all the concessions Of
operating cost. Why is it that in
the scheme of reduction, the officers
and rail boards and salaried men Of
all kinds should not share with the
men of the trades in concession OF
pay? Why make fish out of one and
flesh of the other.
We hold to the principle that all
men are entitled to the same consid-
Grafton before the law. They are
also entitled to the same justice in
the eyes of public opinion.
Therefore in adjusting costs of
railroad operation everyone should
be treated alike, it makes no differ
ence whether he is president or sec

and honorable way to consider these
things.
1t is a lamentable fact that in the
process of reconstruction corpora
tions and individuals seem to be hold
ing like grim death to the rule of
war profits. No man, whatever his
business or profession, his trade or
work, makes single concession
without protest. We are all alike
in this failure to measure up to the
conditions. The farmer is the only
ore who seems compelled to take his
compensation. The others resort to
all sorts of schemes to retain the big
pay and profits. Business morale does
not seem to be a thing of conscience,
but OF scheming., The public welfare
is a mighty small equation in this
matter.
However, it must be solved at last
by public opinion, and this being
the case, we are striving to put the
natter in its proper light
Capital holds the balance of power

makes demands upon labor, but in
10 doing there should be some coun-
er demands upon capital. If no 9TH
# way the pressure of public opin-
on should force capital to a sense of |
Justice and fairness.
The question that has long puzzled |
economists is that of unearned in |
rement. This is the making of fab |
Ilous profits-something that is not |

or the unframed mind to connect |
his with labor, but it is really the
hing that is increasing capital and
educing labor.
The difference between capital and
abor will be neutralized when public
pinion forces men to be satisfied |

arnings of trade and commerce.
