Mr.. Gompers, by d~eploring the prospect Of fed
Breakers, gives tacit approval to the conditions
which have furnished the reason, or the excuse for
the employment of professional strike-breakers in

force, if necessary, from going to work on jobs
which strikers have left.
If the statement of Mr.. Gonpers is to be taken
at its face value, the organization which he repre-
sents, and in which he has performed much really
valuable service, stands committed TO the doctrine,
not merely that men have a right to quit, but that
they have a right to prevent other men from work

Investigating the coal industry will not cure the
evils which characterize it. But without an under
standing of what the troubles are, and what causes
them, little progress will be made in improving the
conditions. The president recommends, and his
Recommendation is likely to be followed, that there
be created a board to ascertain the facts relating to
1.-THE coal industry. 1t is not suggested that the ac-
tivities of the government should stop there, but
such an investigation is imperatively demanded.
The public is interested in the coal business.
The comfort, happiness and prosperity of every citi-
zen is involved in the proper supply'and distribution
'of fuel, and the prices at which coal is sold to the
consumer is one of the important factors in the case.
4 The whole subject has been clouded over by the
special pleas and arguments of partisans who doubt
less know what they are talking about, but who are
often interested in distorting the truth, or in with
holding part Of it. In the interest of one hundred
million people, that fog must be %dispelled.
The recommendation of the president is for the
creation of a fact-6nding board by congress. 1t has
been proposed that a board for this purpose be ere
ated by the coal operators and miners acting jointly,
their nominations to be approved by the president.
There can be no objection to the creation of such a
private commission acting at the invitation of the
two parties whose controversies have obstructed the
production of coal during these past months. We
can see no objection to the president testlfying to
his confidence in the people who may be appointed
by these two groups. But such a commission should
not be considered a substitute for the commission
which the president urges, a commission created by
the government itself, acting under it's direction,
responsible to it, and representing nobody and moth
ing else.
The coal business should be investigated by the
government on its own responsibility, and neither
miners nor operators should be represented on the
investigating commission, nor should they have any
voice in the selection of it's members When the
commission is created it will need information
which miners and operators can supply. 1t should
be authorized to obtain this information, to invite
the testimony of all persons who are believed to
have knowledge which will be useful to the COM
mission, and to compel the production Of that infor-
nation by compulsion if necessary.
= A commission whose sole business is to ascer-
tain the facts and present them in understandable
form can perform an immense service. And when
that information has been obtained the government
should stand ready to act on it in whatever direction
action is necessary, not in the interest of miners or
operators especially, but primary of the whole
people.

MINERS WORK AND WAGES.

"A mans ABILITY to live in comfort is governed,
so far as financial considerations can govern it, not
by hrs earnings per day, but by his earnings per
year. His daily wage may be large and his annual
income small because he works only a small part of
the time, This is the situation Of many miners III
the coal districts. is
In his address to congress on the industrial sit
uation the president accepted the usual estimate of
$50 days as the normal years work in what may be
called a regular and steady occupation. 1t is a fact
that there is employment in the soft coal fields for
all of the miners for only about half that time. The
mines running up to Capacity the year round would
produce double the quantity OF coal the country
needs, and as coal is not used in larger quantities
than necessary merely because it is cheap, it follows
that the total annual production in the mine fields at
large must be limited to about half the capacity Of
the mines.
The solution of the problem which thus pre-
sents itself is obviously to operate up to capacity
those mines which can be operated most profitably
until the production meets the demand, and close
the others. That would involve not only the closing
of many mines, but the release of many miners from
the industry, and these men would have to find en-
%ploynlent elsewhere.
an easy one to reach. Neither miners nor mine oper-
ators have displayed any active interest in the adop-
ton of this PLAN The entire effort of the miners
organizations has been expended in the opposite d.
rection. The miners, as represented by their off
cial spokesman, demand that the working day be

or increased in order that they may receive a civ
ing' annual income without doing any more work
per annun1. In other words, their demand is that
without lessening the number of men employed OF
increasing the coal output, the operators shall pro-
vide all the mincrs-who are now idle half the time
with yearly incomes ample for their yearly needs.
While this has been the general position of the
miners, the operators themselves, with some excep-
tons, have not concerned themselves greatly in plac-
ing their industry on the only basis WHICH can be re-
garded as economically sound. They have offset
the demand for high wages and short hours with
demands for higher coal prices to maintain profits,
and SO long as the public can be induced or compel
led to pay the higher prices the mine owners have
no special interest in reducing their working force
and the number of mines in operation and keeping
the remaining men constantly employed and the re-
naming mines constantly producing.
There are, of course, other elements entering
into. the case, such, for instance, as those of storage
and transportation, but the most important feature
in the whole problem seems to be that neither min
es nor operators are specially concerned in the
adoption of efficient methods so long as the public
can be made to pay for inefficient methods.

PROTECTING STRIKE BREAKERS.

Mr.. Gompers admits that the Herrin massacre
was a nasty piece of business which nobody could
justify, but he sees in. it no reason for overriding
the constitution and depriving the states of their
rights by enacdng legislation giving the federal
government the right to protect aliens whose safety
is imperilled by local lawlessness. The anxiety Of
Mr.. .Gompers for the preservation of constitutional
rights is commendable. It is a pity that it does not
extend further than to %insistence on the right of
a state government to permit wholesale murder to
be committed within its jurisdiction, without re-
course.
But the remainder of Mr.. Gompers' statement
Indicates that his chief concern, after all, is not for
the maintenance intact of the sovereignty of the
state. He believes that behind the proposal to en-
power the federal government to protect aliens there
is the purpose to use federal forces for the protection
Of strike-breakers.
Just what is a strike-breaker?
The term has been applied, and with a wide
variety Of un~complimentary adjectives, to all who
under any circumstances accept employment in po-
sitions which have been vacated by strikers. In the
present railway strike the machinist who saw fit to
take employment in a railroad shop was called a
strike-breaker. The term has been used in all sim
liar cases. T.
But the word has usually had a narrower ap-
pication. There have been men who made a bust
mess of breaking strikes. Having headquarters in
large cities, they kept I'M touch with large numbers
ofsraen who could be employed for this purpose, and
when their services were required they would de-
al at mines or factories or elsewhere, bodies Of the

OF ALIENS.

In his address to congress the president has ask
ed for legislation which will place aliens directly I'M
high time that we had such legislation. Lacking it
VIZ are mot in a position to fulfill the obligations to
other nations which we have voluntarily assumed,
and such as we would certainly demand that other
nations fulfill in their relations with US if the occa-
sion should arise.
The presidents recommendation was called
forth by the massacre at Herrin, Ill.,, in which ali
ems were killed The foreign governments of which
these aliens were subjects have very properly called
the attention of the American government to the
murder Of their citizens, and have asked that proper
steps be takensto bring the criminals to justice. This
the government is powerless 70 do. as all these mat
tiers are within the jurisdiction Of the states, and the
state of Illinois seems to feel no great interest in the
matter. -
1t seems strange that congress should have ia
ken no steps to correct this condition in all the years
that have passed since the need was so plainly
shown in the Italian incident in New Orleans. On
that occasion a number Of Italians were shot BY a
mob, and when the Italian government took the
matter up with Washington it was informed that
under our constitution Washington had no jurisdic-
ton. The rather pointed reply Of Italy was that if
the American constitution stood in the way of the
fulhllnent Of American pledges, the constitution
should be changed. That reply gave, some ~offense
on this side, but the fact remained that if the federal
government could not and the state government
could not protect foreign residents, and Our states
could not be preached by the foreign government in
terested, the security. of foreigners in this country
was merely a matter of courtesy, and any pledges
which we made in the matter were worthless. The
matter was lated adjusted by the payment Of com
pensation by the federal government, and exxpyes-.
'sions Of regret.
We are under no obligation to admit to this
country more foreigners than we desire. Just now,
we are limiting the number. But the foreigner who
is admitted is entitled to the full protection Of the
federal government. i

ARCHITECT BILL

Favorable action on the bill to pro-
vide for examination and registration
of architects in this city was asked of
Congress by the District Commission
ers yesterday.
They also recommended that legis-
lation be framed and passed providing
for registration OF engineers
The Commissioners recommends
tions were contained in a letter to
Senator l.. H. Ball. chairman of the
Senate District Committee.
Sentiment in both the Senate and
House District committees apparently
is overwhelmingly in favor Of a
license board for architects This
sentiment developed as a result of the
knickerbocker disaster
One of the bills ardent supporters
is Representative Elliot w Sproul. OF
Illinois. who lost 4 nephew, Vernon
Sproul. in the Knickerbocker crash.
