1t was disclosed in Surrogate s

senators seem agreed that no Iekfs-
'aUoh can be passed which can force
strikers back 10 work The issues re.
main virtually the same--the decision
rests entirely with the railroad execu-
tires and coal operators on the one
hand and the labor unions on the
other.
Meanwhile a decision OF far-reach.
ing importance has been handed down
by the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals which practically settles "A
collateral issue which has been sore
spot in the relations between railroads
and their employees in the East for
some time
The Pennsylvania Railroad has in
sisted that any agreements reached
by it with duly elected representa-
tives Of workmen are valid and bind
ing on all the rest. The question of
what duly elected" means has forced
the question into the courts The
Pennsylvania held an election and
distributed its own ballots, and the
American Federation of Labor
through its representatives issued a
ballot and held an election
Neither ballot was considered proper
by the United States Labor Board
and new election was ordered BIZ
the board 10 determine the legitimate
representatives of the workmen. The
Pennsylvania Railroad insisted that
the Labor Board had no right to in
terfere and obtained an injunction in
a Federal Court TO restrain the Labor
Board from proclaimlng the fact that
the Pennsylvania had violated a de-
cision Of the Labor Board.
Now comes the Circuit Court OF
Appeals and. by reversing the lower
court, sustains the power OF the
Labor Board TO prescribe rules and
regulations for the conduct Of cleo
tions whereby spokesmen are ap-
pointed to represent workmen.
The decision OF the court makes II
clear that the Pennsylvania Railroad
can refuse TO recognize any represen-
tativc Of the workmen for any reason

dent Harding is talking of another
Investigation" Of the coal business,
which, with the exception of Stand
ard Oil. has had more Investigations
without action than any other indus
cry in the world.
The most noteworthy of these in
Vcstigations, according to prominent
members Of Congress. vas that OF The
Evening World which was begun
nearly five years ago, and this news
paper has waged the war continuous
ly ever since, urging a commission to
regulate the coal industry. both as to
its operation and as to its price TO
the consumer.
AS recently as last December, bills
were introduced by Senator Kenyon
and other Senators for such a com
mission. And still no acton mas been
taken.
KENYON AGAIN URGES ACTION
ON HIS BILLS.
And now Judge Kenyon, who has
left the Senate, is urging that some
thing be done about these bills
Senator Kenyon was a member Of
the Senate Coal Committee, which
followed up the investigation of The
Evening World. This committee took
volumes Of testimony, at the instiga-
ton of this newspaper, both in the
coal region and at Washington.
This voluminous testimony, to-
Eether with recommendations by
the most prominent students of the
coal industry, is now before Con-
gress, and another investigation
would seem truly ITO carry the Goals
to Newcastle"
The Senators who served on this
yon, Reed, Vardaman, Lodge and
Jones. Senator Frelinghuysen also
took up The Evening Worlds sugges-
tions and presented a statement to
Congress last December,
One or the measures senator fre-
linghuysen proposed also was the
establishment of a commission the
duties Of which would be to take full
charge of coal, adjust royalties and
freight rates and secure fair compe-
tition in all the coal fields.
The commission, as planned, would
spend six months in ascertaining the
facts and the best means of adjust
ing the industry and would report to
Congress what legislation would do
IT, after which 1t was proposed that
the commission should secure addi-
tional po YER to accomplish the afore-
said results without further delay.
