Coal and Cold Spells.

The announcement OF the State
fuel administration that it expects
"no great coal shortage" ought to be
taken for exactly what it says and
not for what the optimist with coal
in his cellar might like to read into
the statement.
III all householders will comply
with the suggestions of Governor
MILLER and his fuel administrator,
Mr.. WooDrS, relative to economy
there need be no suffering this win
ter. TO follow these recommenda-
tions means to save the coal, to use
substitutes like oil, wood and gas un-
til the burning Of coal becomes really
necessary, and TO prepare for the use
OF coke and soft coal in the event
that anthracite is unobtainable.
The householder with little coal
In the cellar is foolish to burn any OF
it before election day unless the mer-
curry falls unseasonably low. Nobody
knows what tricks winter may play
Sometimes that season delights In
putting the screws on early. Decem-

The average temperature for that
month was % degrees, or degrees

That cold spell continued right into

EpiscopaIians Indorse Voice for Labor
Believe Workers Should Share in Control of Industry
and Give Best Service for Fair Wage.

Special Dispatch 10 THE NEw YORK HERALD.
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept 22.-The right
OF labor to have voice In the control
of the industry which determines it's con-
ditions of working and living, was in
dorsed by the Episcopal convention to-
Cay, when the House OF Deputies con-
CURED with yesterdays vote OF the
bishops on the report of the social SER
vice committee. The report also IN
dorses the right of labor to organize and
the principle OF collective barga ming.
II declared that labor is entitled to q
living wage and that capital and the
consumer are in duty bound to furnish
such wage. and it advocates cooperative
rather than competitive production.
Members of the committee that drafted
the resolution last week declared to-day
that they had very little hope when
they were drawing it up that the con-
vention would indorse a program so
radical In the points in which it deals
with labor relations.
The resolution also contains declara-
tion in favor of international policies of
equal Justice between races, a world as
ISOLATION of nations for peace and a
sweeping reduction OF military arma-
ments. In the labor resolution the COM
mittee declared in part:
Among principles that must under
lie and motivate any Industrial system
that can be called Christian are the
following:
Human rights must take precedence
over property rights.
Therefore, a minimum subsistence
wage and IL possible comfortable and
saving wage must be the first charge
on the industry, and the public as we'll
as employers must be willing to pay re-
spectively their proportionate shares of
this charge.
Cooperation for the common service
must be substituted for tho present
competition for private advantage as
the paramount motive and end of all
industry.
This principle requires from capital

On January 1. 1922, all the members
Of my household, including WIFE grown

dition.
MyNegular physician had no prescrip-
ton blanks at that time and. moreover

slider that a delay OF ten weeks in the
functioning of the Federal clerks de-
serves the highest condemnation.

sary blanks my regular druggist was

been made some weeks previous. none

Meanwhile the accident occurred. My

More Pay for Policemen.
Judge Gibbs Would Fix the Salaries
OF Firemen Also at $1,000.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t has
been called to my attention that the
patrolmen and hremen OF New York city
are making application to the Board Of
Estimate for an increase in salary in
the amount OF 1920 year. In other
words, the request is for uniform sal
airy of $4,000 year for policemen five
years and over and for flremen three
years and over in the service of the
city.
/ desire to place myself upon record
as strongly in favor of this increase.
knowing as I do that under present con-
ditions 1t is an exceedingly difficult task
for any man to support family in any
sort OF decent comfort under the sum Of
$4,000. A comparison of wages paid In
the various trades with the wages
paid to the rank and file OF the Police
and Fire departments indicates that the
men in these departments are woefully
underpaid. 1t will be observed that
plumbers. bakers. tailors. BARRIERS and
walters. IL their tips are included, re-
ceive larger returns than the average
police officer. And there are certain
trades in which almost 100 per cent,
more is paid for an eight hour day; and
il must not be forgotten that in most
trades there is double pay for night
work and overtime.
/ need not emNhasize the point that
the city OF New York has every reason
to be proud of the vigilance. courage
and great capacity for self-sacrifice ex-
hibited by the rank and file of the Police
and Fire departments upon every occa-
sion. LOUIS ID. GIBBS,

At Smyrna.

I can recall how the descending day
Gilded the sickle sweep of Smyrna bay !:
How Beauty wrapt its shlmmering scarf
Of blue
about the orchard trees OF Omoorlu:
How round the citadel there hung a
haze
or blended topaz and OF chrysoprase;
How camels bending under corded bales
From Anatolia came winding in,
Clumsy but silent footed. how the din
or curious chatter rose from the bazaars,
And then, before outpricked the nights
first stars.
How the muezzins nung afar their halls
Through tsrtuous streets from slender
Whose crcscents tossed the light In
golden jets
Upon wide range OF roof and market
square
Allah II Allah bidding men to prayer.

Go up but yesterday What mockeryi
Again across the reaches OF tho sea
The winging horror OF anNancient taiei
Again the FIRE and frenzy that appal,
Tho Beast let ioose--but words will not
avail
OF this swift naked tragedy to tell.
Wrought as by fiends from out the heart
of Hell.
Hold back, hold back the intolerable
horde
whose creed impeis the hand TO draw
the sword
Against the helpless, guardians OF the

honest goods and services for fair prices
and from labor work and fun service
for fair wages.
Ultimately il involves a fundamental
change in the spirit and working of our
whole Industrial system.
THE worker who invests HIS life and
that of his family in industry must have
along with the capitalist who invests
his money some voice in the control OF
the industry which determines the con-
ditions OF his working and living.
THE right of labor Is equal with
capital to effective organization and
there is corresponding responsibility on
both sides for the exercise of the power
so attained in strict accordance with the
moral law as serving the common good.
Negotiations through collective bar
gaining must take the place OF the
roinous strife of strikes"
A resolution by Bishop '~Guerry of
South Caroline urging that religious
plays and pageants in church buildings
should be for the present at least dis
couraged' was presented to-day.
Bishop McElwain OF Minnesota pro-
tested against the resolution, saying
that ~ he wanted TO put on pageant
and should be forbidden he would re
gard it as an unwarranted interfer-
ence."
Several other bishops were on their
feet when Bishop Brown checked the
controversy by ordering the resolution

The question OF altering the Prayer
Book to permit the optional use of un-
fermented grape juice in the communion

Piece Work on the Railroads.

The restoration of piece work un-
Ger the company union system now
going into effect with the railroads
that have not-resumed relations with
the Jewell shop strikers will be a
good thing for the roads and good
thing for the kind Of men the roads
need in their shops.
Under the piece system on any fair
and workable basis-and unless it is
fair and workable it cannot be sus-
tained-the man that wants to work
and knows how to do his work can
make a better living than the man
that does not want to work whether
he does not know how to do his work
or does know how to do it. IL that is
not the right way to reward men for
their labor, then there isn't any such
thing as a right way to establish the
relative value between a competent
performer and an incompetent per-
former and between worker and a
Stacker
Under that system, properly regu-
lated as it has to be to keep the good
men, the railroads will require fewer
men to get a given amount of work
done although they may distribute
as much money for the work among
the fewer good men as they other
wise might distribute among more
men, good, bad and Indifferent. Any
productive organization that is not
overmanned is bigger asset to it.

than an organization swarming with

shippers is the return to the piece
system, with square deal for all.

Burdens of the Treasury.

PRESIDENT HARDING has been keenly
sppreciative of and deeply concerned
over the financial problems OF the
national Treasury In his bonus mes
sage he explained how the Govern
ment already faced deficit OF $780,
100000 for the fiscal year. 1t may
prove to be even worse. The very
tariff act, which has been counted
upon to increase the Treasury's rev.
enues in the long run, as we'll as
give greater protection to American
industries, may work for months to
increase the deficit by decreasing the
estimated revenues from the new GUS
toms duties that went into effect
yesterday.
For many weeks imports have been
rushed to this country in stupendous
volume to get in ahead of the high
duties of the new tariff. This has
meant, of course, heavily swollen
customs revenues on the old basis.
Where. the average for the whole
country has been roughly a million
dollars work day, the average for
New York alone in the last seven
teen successive work days before the
war tariff became effective was more
than $1,600,000 work day. In the
last eleven weeks the average for
New York has been some $446,000 a
day above the normal.
But every shipment of imports that
was hurried into the country before
such imports were needed for con-
sumption merely to escape the higher
duties that otherwise would have
been payable later at much higher
rates-eyery shipment of that kind
means just SO much that will not
be brought IN for weeks and even
months under the new tariff.
Until the heavy surplus stocks thus
brought in ahead of the new tariff
rates are consumed or depleted there
may be no imports at all under the
Fordney -McCumber duties, and while
there are no imports there can be
no customs revenues from that lime
OF articles. SO the millions gained
in recent months under the old tariff
will mean many more millions than
that lost under the new tariff.
How long it will take to clean up
the vast surplus stocks that have
haa,, ctorad oafa1u habipd Tho ,,au,
tariff wall and to resume imports
accordingly is something of specu-
lation. But as hundreds of millions
Of dollars of goods have thus come
in ahead of them it is no speculation
to say that the tens of millions OF
higher duties the importers thereby
saved never will go into the Treas
ury to the credit OF the new tariff.
This may count tens of millions
against the Treasury receipts in the
next few months, 1t may count only
millions: but by every million that
the customs receipts are below the
estimates, for whatever reason, the
Governments deficit for this year
will be, in danger OF going the same
amount above the already threatened
$3.50, 100000.
President HARDING has wisely and
faithfully guarded the United States
Treasury in its already strained
financial condition from further CO
lossal drafts which could not fail to
Undermine the Governments credit,
while again putting the country un-
der staggering taxes.
