New South Wales
Party Under Fire

Sydney, N. s. w., Nov. 5.-The po-
sition of, federal politics Is described
as critical and an election is likely
this month or December, although
the Parliament has several months to
run beyond the end Of the year, ac-
cording to political observers.
A series Of censure motions has
been launched by both opposition par
ties-the Labor and the Country
party: The principal one was in re-
gard to the failure of the government
to provide cheap sugar. Another
charged maladministration in connec-
tion with the War Service Homes de-
partment. 1t was pointed out that
sugar here is selling at almost twice
the price it brings in New Zealand.
An early election is believed to be
planned by Premier Hughes as a
reply to what he terms the "obstruc-
tionists."
Another cause of concern to the
majority is the party dissention in
Victoria and New South Wales, where
a decided movement has risen to re-
establish the old Liberal Party and
depose Premier Hughes and the for
mer. labor men who helped to form
the Coalitionist party.
The Federal Labor party also has
encountered difficulties. 'Followin, /,
the disclosure recently of corruption
on the part of some Of those in charge
Of the party in New South Wales, a
"breakaway" party has been formed
1t has announced that it will have
candidates In opposition to the Sc
lected Labor representatives at the
forthcoming elections.

SPEAKING OF COAL.

Since the United States is taking a
iand in getting ct the why's and
wherefores of the fuel ques sion every
tody is Going it. While the federal
commission, recently named by Pres
ident Harding, is probing for facts
with a purpose of advising congress,
a committee representing the United
Nine Workers Of America filed day
3r so ago with the commission which
is investigating the industry a report
suggesting some problems which we
think might we'll be probed.
The document, made public by the
receivers, is signed by Ellis Searles,
editor Of the unions magazine, John
Moore, its legislative representative,
and Thomas Kennedy, Pennsylvania
district president Of the organization.
1t proposes to lay before the federal
authorities tho union miners side OF
the problem. It leaves the objectives
to be attained in the hands of the
commission, but it undertakes to ia
niiarize the citizenship with its side
OF the issue.
Absentee ownership of coal mining
areas, the intrusion of profit-takinp
middlemen in marketing, regulation
Of coal production and the survey of
transportation, the report emphasizes,
should be Investigated by the federal
probers. On a number OF subjects
nnout which the commission asked
views the miners withheld comment,
asking further time for study, but
gave assurance that all available in
formation would be presented when
called for.
The miners declare they think the
federal commission should ascertain
why it is that the price of coal to the
domestic consumer is always higher
than the price to the railroads and
ether large purchasers. The public
viii be inclined to second that motion.
There are several unseemly strings
tied to the fuel question and it Is no
time for the federal commission COM
POSED Of some Of the leading men of
the nation, to stop until the mask Of
mystery is removed from the national
fuel industry.
As to the seeking Of production cost
figures the miners suggest that the
commissioners take up the question Of
investment to see whether "capitali-
zation is water upon which the coal
consumer is required to pay interest
and dividends" as well as wages. 1t
If our opinion that the federal COM
can ascertain the actual mine
cost of production, and by comparing
that cost with the price the actual
consumer pays, discover the "nigger
in the woodpile"; likewise find where
the money goes between the two fg.
arss.
More coal cars, better equipment
Tor handling the fuel promptly, and
} multitude Of other details are cited
