Friday night.
Mr.. Clark had issued a challenge
to Elmore Poole and Lin Bell to
meet him last night and share time
with him; stating that he would dis
cuss their political records. Between
800 and 400 were present and gave
the speaker quiet and close atten-
tion, occasionally appladding his
remarks.
When Mr.. Clark declared that
there should be women on the board
Of education, he received the most
vigorous applause of the evening.
Mr. Clark went into the official
records of his two opponents, Mr..
Poole and Mr.. Belle, bat did not
mention the name. 81 Mr.. johnson
during the discussion. lie stated
that he had employed reporter
to take everyiwofd so that there was,
no danger Of him being mis-quoted
to either of the candidates who were
receiving his criticism. Nothing per-
sonal was injected into the speech by
the speaker. He stuck to politics,
the official records of Mr.. Poole and
Mr. Bell and made it plain that each
We're regarded by him as friends.
Mr.. Clark said he was not the
candidate of any cliquet, body or
coterie Of individuals. He said he
was neither for nor against the beard

The Fiddler's Bill

'E'HE two strikes in fuel and transportation
which dslocated American commerce this
summer cost the strikers millions in wages
But that was only the first cost of the strikes
They cost the owners of the railroads and
mines millions in profits. The millions in
profits and wages were still but small per-
centage of the cost of the strikes Farmers
who lost perishabe products paid millions
more. Grain growers whose market was
broken by the lack of transportation, laborers
whose days work was reduced because of
shortage in fuel and transportation lost mil
lions more. And consumers of hundreds of
necessary articles who paid the tax imposed
by paralyzed industry upon commerce will
lose millions more, and that tax will be col
lected all fall and far into the winter
Well could We as American citizens have
put up the strikers and their families at the
best hotels in their towns and paid their
board If they had gone on working. The
flddler's bill for these strikes is a tax that NO
man can escape. Every one paws it. And

fact-finding commission to tell the people
of the United States what is wrong with the
coal Industry that it should be a battle ground
year after year in the midst of the nation,
where warning industrial forces have clut-
tered up the road of commerce. The commits
sion was to be empowered to get the facts and
then to recommend to the nation five specific
things: First, a plan for standardizng the
mines upon basis of their productive ca
paclty and closing mines falling below the
standard; second, standardizing the cost of lv-
ing and living conditions for mine workers;
third standardizing some basis of arriving
at a reasonable cost for the overhead in pro-
ducing and delivering coal to the consumer:
fourth, the advisability or inadvisabilitv Of
Matchmaking the coal industry, and, fifth, the
feasibility of governmental regulation. Surely
these were not radical requests Without the
facts about the industry, and exactly such
facts as the commission should find how is the
nation to know the truth about coal? Two
weeks ago the President in his message asked
for the passage of such bill. The public is
eager for the truth. Congress could pass that
legislation in five days if Congress cared to.
