Hard Coal Next Winter.

II the railroad shop workers

the matter of that, il the roads went
OIL filling the strikers vacant places
| fer another thirty days at the rate
they have put on new men in the
last thirty days, that other great
strike, the strike among the soft
coal unions. would be by way of
settling itself.
The haulage of soft coal, both in
the primary movement from the non
union mines by the railway coalers
aid in the secondary movement of
general distribution by all the car
riers, is SO huge a traffic that rail
equipment is Of cardinal Importance
In the coal situation. This equip
ment is now assured whether there
is a settlement of the shopmen's
strike or whether the roads, having
fought out some 60 to 20 per cent. of
tie way in the matter of manning the
shops, go on and fight out the other
80 to 40 per cent. of the way.
While, however, the bituminous
situation is safe for the near future,
the anthracite shortage is quite an
ether thing. AS against the record
already achieved on the one hand
by the non-union bituminous mines
Of getting out two-thirds of the coun-
try's soft coal needs, and as against
their capacity to increase their out
put under the reign of law and or
der to three-quarters of the coun-
trys needs, there is on the other
land and has been for three months
no production at all by the anthra-
cite mines which had been thor
oughly unionized.
1t is true that in that time there
has not been large consumption,
hard coal being used mainly for heat
ing purposes in the North Atlantic
States. So the hard coal supply in
existence on April 1, when the strike
began, has not been greatly reduced,
although it has changed hands from
jobber to retailer and from retailer
TO consumer getting it into the bin.
But there was no considerable excess
supply of anthracite when the strike
began. And to carry over the win
ter there should be heavy surplus
by now.
If, therefore, anthracite is not
r'ined in full supply within a few
weeks some parts of the East, par
ticularly in New England, are going
70 suffer from lack OF hard coal be-
fore the backbone of next winter is
broken.
Meanwhile, every consumer OF an
thracite that can use any other kind
of coal or fuel whatever would be
wise to think about putting in some
kind of substitute supply. The hard
coal deadlock between union and
mines forces will end some time, it
might end suddenly, but those who
will need coal for heat might as we'll
get it wherever they can. In the dog
days is the time to make brovision
for warmth against the next win
ter's freeze.

Eagle Routed by Crows.
Rescue OF Duck From It's Pursuer
OF the Susquehanna.

To THE New YoRR HERALD: More
than nifty years ago, while the Susque-
hanna was still a lumbcrman's river, l
witnessed surrender to crows by an
eagle not unlike the one described in
your paper of July 20.
Through a long reach OF still water
above Harrisburg RATS Of lumber floated
slowly and gave all on board plenty of
time to see all that happened. Within
q short distance of our RATS bald
eagle was firing out a duck by darting
almost vertically over him. compelling
the duck TO dive for escape and come
to the surface again as far away as
&c could navigate under water. But
the ducks endurance under water was
wearing out and he came mp quicker
and nearer his starting place after a
few long dives.
Apparently his chance OF escape was
zero, when two crows. quicker on the
wing, attacked the eagle. striking at his
head. first one. then the other. In short
flights. This disturbed their foe. but he
stll kept to his duck hunting.
Shortly after the crows New higher
End sent out O or some other hall
ing sign OF distress. which quickly
brought into action all the crow reserves
in Dauphin county. The eagle was de-
fenseIess. Every crow wanted crack
at the back of his head.
The duck was now safe enough, but
The eagle had too many troubles and
made a quick retreat close TO the ground.
For some time the crow sauadrons
r,aneuvered In the air. then retired in
many directions, using what sounded
like very profane language.

Screens Articulate.

The University of Illinois has an
nounced that member of it's faculty
has invented and obtained letters
patent on combination motion pic
trre-talking machine record film
which solves the problem of talking
motion pictures. In this device
from two-thirds to three-quarters
CT the width of the film is given over
TO the usual visual impressions,
while sounds are recorded on the
remainder of the film. The ringing
of bell or the slamming OF door
is heard as distinctly as a human
voice, 1t is announced"
For many years experimenters
have tried to combine sound repro
duction with picture projection. One
great difficulty had been to synchro-
nize words with acts and to provide
tor elision OF words when the pic
tGre film was cut to eliminate worn
places. Obviously, if pictures and
words are impressed alongside each
other on the same film, one cut will
care for both. 1t is equally obvious a
cut might utterly destroy the contin-
uity Of the words when the omis-
sion of the pictures removed would
scarcely be noticed.
1t is natural to think first of the
theatrical possibilities of synchroniz-
ing talking machine records and
motion pictures. What records would
film reproducing EDWIN BooTHs S
voice and acting be worth to students
Of the drama now and In all time
to come? Who has not wondered
whether CHARLIE CHAPLIN can say
things as naive and ridiculous as the
things he does? CARUso's voice is
preserved for all time; his method
of theatrical representation is gone.
But in other fields talking-motion
picture would be of supreme value. 4
A great surgeon demonstrating his
method of operating and explaining
how and why he follows the technic

ings requiring unusual dexterity, in
intricate trades, could be given to all
generations by the most notable mas
ters If enduring talking motion pic
lures were produced.
In the past great teachers, the

TUESDAY. AUGUST /. 1922.
Let the Tariff Wait.

The national scandal of an lnsuf-
ferablv burdensome wool tariff made
by sheep growing, wool raising SEN
ators for the benefit of their own
private property has deeply stirred
the people of the United States.
American sentiment can comprehend
men In high public office going TO
extremes, men going wrong and even
badly wrong in their partisan or
fanatic devotion to an impersonai
cause. American sentiment cannot
comprehend and American sentiment
will not countenance legislators max
ing themselves responsible for, in
deed creating and jamming through,
laws that directly and heavily con-
Germ their own private pockets.
The tariff makers Of the present
Congress cannot go before the voters
Of the United States next November
or the issue of the Senate's mon
strous wool schedule, the handiwors
of sheep raising, wool growing SEN
arors, without inviting political rev.
olution by an aroused nation. But
even il the wool tariff scandal had
not arisen to shock and outrage the
fine American sense of conscience
and propriety, the Fordney-McCum-
Der tariff as a whole is so full OF
economic blunders, so fraught with
public hardship and SO potentially
dangerous to the country that u
would not be good sense and it would
not be safe to take it before the
nerican people at the Congress
sections now only about three
months away.
II the crazy wool schedule were
torn out of the tariff measure by the
roots, if the sheep growing. wool
raising Senators never had startled
and shaken the American public with
the wool tariff they have tried to
impose upon the country, still the
Fordney- y-McCumber tariff is so bad,
so unworthy of anybody's support,
sc incapable of meeting the test OF
popular approval, that to take 1t to
the polls as the great national issue
CT the elections of 1922 might blow
any political party so doing off the
face of the earth.
There is no time left between now
and November to make a good
enough measure out of the Fordney-
McCumber tariff monstrosity to win
public confidence. There is no time
left to correct in sound, scientific
way even the schedules that are the
most extravagant in their economic
lunacy and the most hateful to the
American public. There is no time
left to extract half the wrong and
evil OF the measure. There is no time
left to do much of anything but to
run for shelter out of the storm.
A frightful economic botch has
been made out OF the whole tariff.
Anybody in his senses knows that.
1t is beyond all hope OF satisfactory
repair in the next few months or sew
eral weeks. Anybody competent to do
the Job knows that. To go before the
country with this tariff botch would
be simply TO commit. on the heels Of
the unparalleled economic blunder,
a colossal, unexampled political
blundcr.
Let the tariff wait until after the
November elections.

Stand by the Loyal Men.

If there are railroads in the United
States that mean for themselves to
settle the shop craft strike on what
ever terms might be. agreed on with
the union, it is not apparent what
could stop them, whether the other
roads, public opinion, the United
States Railroad Labor Board or the
Government itself. Such roads might
be SO bent upon settlement that they
would call truce with the strikers.
although it were based on sacrifice
CT the men that had stood faithfully
by the roads and the public when the
unions were ordered out. They could
do so if they were so disposed. They
know that; the men know it.
On the other hand, because there
might be roads willing for whatever
cause to settle on such terms, cer-
tainly that should be no reason why
other roads should be asked or ex'
pected to make the same terms, even
though they regarded the settlement
terms as fragrant breach of contract
with the old man or the new man OF
the job, though they regarded the set
tlement terms as nothing less than
an embrace of dishonor.
Men that cannot compromise
with their conscience are not called
upon in this American country of
principles and good faith to go along
with men that can compromise with
their conscience. Men that have
bound themselves by the most SOL
emn pledges not to betray or desert
loyal employees are not called upon
to go along with men that have not
so bound themselves.
At the meeting of railroad execu-
tives to-day to consider terms of
settlement for the shop workers
strike it does seem very clear that II
there are railroads that desire to 60
and are going to go their way in
respect of any sort of settlement,
other roads that are not willing to
tread that sunless path should like
wise go their way, going it in good
faith with their men now employed
and in honor with themselves.
If the railroads are right in their
contention that the strike is broken
anyhow. with some 20 per cent. of
the vacancies already filled on all
the important carriers and the other
90 per cent. sure to be filled in a
few days-if that is the fact, and the
great roads must know what they
are talking about, probably the strike
leaders on second thought would be
glad enough to let their men go back
where they could get back.
II the strike really is broken, il
within a month there will be no vacan-
cies left for any strikers to go back
to work on any terms. there would
seem to be little doubt that the strike
leaders would see the sense Of TAX
ing something for some of the strik-
ers on some Of the roads rather than
nothing for any Of them on any of
the roads. So if some OF the roads
want to make such terms let them,
but don't let them try to drag the
other roads where they cannot go in
conscience and in honor.
In any event. the roads that mean
to stand by the men who stood by
the roads are going to be backed
up by the American public.
