Out from Herrin.

II HE message of Herrin has gone abroad
through the coal region where bloody hatred
shoulders everywhere. The United Mine Work
ers have many conservative and peaceful leaders
to whom the Illinois proved great a
shock as to the general public. But it is doubtful
whether, among the rank and file of miners, the
incident is considered other than victory in
battle.
Coal stocks are dwindlng. Industry is wor-
ried. Workers hungry. The coal strike which,
up to the time OF the Herrin explosion had been
remarkably peaceful crisis. We dread to
think what that crisis may be unless some peace
full solution OF the questions involved is reached
at
The nation was horrihed over the news from
Herrin. 1t was probably the most brutal incident
in American industrial history. Yet, from present
indications, the miners all the United States
have occasion to feel jubilant. They have won a
clear victory. Not only have they prevented the
operation of mine by nonunion labor but they
have broken, the morale OF other operators who
may have planned to follow the example of the
Southern Illinois Coal Co. 1t is extremely unlikely
that anyone will be punished.
1t is useless to ask how human beings can
sympathze with the cold -blooded murder of fellow
men. The Herrin miners not only were human
beings but they were. for the most part, Ameri-
citizens and not aliens. They were the VIC
tins of what is probably growing tendency
among the st-ikers-a longing for blood.
Miners will be inclined to smile rather cynic-
ally at the horror expressed the Herrin affair
They can remember when the tables turned,
when union men were shot down like dogs by
mine guards. There will be some justice in their
cyncism,
The coal mining industry must be placed On
diiTe. ent basis While the bitter class hatred
which now exists is continued there is no safe
guard against other Herrn massacres. The coun-
try will be fortunate if a worse outbreak does not
occur before the strike is settled. Both sides
probably are to blame; but both must make con-
cessions, for while the present feeling between
operators and workers exists there be no real
efficiency in the coal fields Reprisal after reprisa
and counter reprisal after counter reprisal GER

TWO young Englishmen have been rescued
after spending twelve months marooned on
the Antarctic continent. Left behind when an
exploring expedition sailed away to Montevideo,
they found themselves buried alive in an endless
expanse of ice.
Robinson Crusoe's adventures were common
place compared with the experiences through which
But as indication of the adaptability Of human
beings they survived. somewhat enjoyed the life,
and we're fat and healthy when rescued.
The annals of the Antarctic contain
thrilling episodes than those related by T. Bag
Shave. Cambridge University student, when he
returned in London the other day. First, the two
constructed hut from the wreckage of their
boat Despite the intense cold of the long polar
winter they made themselves comparatively COM
Portable From bits of driftwood and stones they
fashioned furniture and table implements.
Their food throughout the year consisted
largely of polar fish, seal meat and penguin eggs.
Neither had single sick day.
All this is evidence that the human race is
growing stronger and more adaptable physically.
Explorers of fifty years ago. it is probable, would
have pershed after single month OF the life these
men were forced to lead. But men arriving
rapidly at the point where physical inconvenience
mean little.
They found life in the home of eternal winter
rather interesting after they became accustomed 10
it, OF course, there human habitations,
but the two found enjoyable companionship in
the penguin flocks These birds they describe as
having much the same kind of family life as human
beings, with marriage divorce ETC.
Doubtless they brought back from the Antarc-
tic continent some valuable scientific data. Every
day they took atmospheric observations, records OF
which they preserved carefully until their rescuers
arrived. But statistics Of such kind do not inter-
est the general public.
In the story of their adventures, however, they
brought back something which should exist as long
stories of polar exploration recounted in the
English language. They have invested the Antarc-
tic continent that great white waste of mystery,
with human interest. They have demonstrated the
ability of men to live under such conditions Prob
ably they are the first white men ever to spend
winter in quite the same situation. Their expert
ences should prove valuable to future explorers.

The Bonus and Business.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald;
With cheaper money rates. re-
vival of business. reduction Of

arguments of antibonus advocates
are beginning to look threadbare.
and much in need of a shave.
When so stanch an opponent of
bonus legislation as the Wall Street
Journal let's the following choice
morsel trickle out Inadvertently
on page of the June 23 issue, we
may be sure of a definite change of
sentiment. This paper. in common
with others carrying large amounts
of financial advertising. has been
limited only by the extent of the
English language in its villification
of anyone upholding the bonus, and
still puts up a scornfuI front edi-
torially. Says this journal:
There is sufficient gold
to do a volume of business so per
cent greater than at the height of
business activity in 1920, and on the
basis of top prices during the PEI
riod of imitation. In view of this
fact. bankers can see no tight money
in sight and assuming that money
WI
there seems 10 be no occasion for
uneasiness on part of Liberty
bondholders regarding the effect Of
the soldiers bonus measure. The
money influence is more important"
Such frank assurance from this
able and authoritative financial
source that passage of the soldiers
bonus measure would not really be
a calamity after all. is very re-
freshing, IN contrast with the hyp-
ocritical prophesies of ruin that this
journal, not TO mention timid indi-
viduals everywhere. predicted would
follow enactment of the measure.
An increased tax of stock trans
fers, however. would remove the
last vestige of pressure the bonus
would have on the common people.
Such tax would only hit those who
have already profteered outra-
geously and are best able to bear a
larger share. ~

Bank Organization.

= OMPTROLLER of the Currency D. r. Girls
- singer has issued an order which should
bring about a atmosphere in the banking
business. Hereafter charters will be issued to
banks organized by professional organizers who
receive in fees certain amounts of stock.
The condition which Mr.. Crssingers order
affects has been most Iamentable-especially in the
District of Columbia 1t is to be hoped that no
more banks will be organized in this city until the
need is brought about by natural growth of the
population and natural development OF business 1t
will be more difficult TO start bank simply be-
some gentleman wishes to be banker.
Financial authorities tell US that it is compara-
lively easy to organize bank. The organizer sells
stock in the enterprise with little regard for
consequences. His job is clean up" Often the
result of his sales is evident only paper. He has
not obtained the cash and those who must take up
the work where he leaves off often find themselves
unable to turn his paper into money.
The District of Columbia has enough banks
Those already in existence here are all, we under
stand, in excellent condition. But the field is at
least satisfactorily filled.
The Mispaugh measure, now before the house,
provides for much the thing does Mr.. Girls
singers order But he now will be able to take
action when any movements of the kind
are reported.
There is a peculiar tendency in human nature
to regard the banker the most fortunately Sit
uated of men. A certain amount of respect is con-
sidered due him merely because of his position
There is something which inspires awe in his title
All this is unreasonable. bank is like any other
business institution-and in all parts of the country
financial institutions have been organized without
proper survey of the opportunities.
Bankers already in the field certainly will well
come Mr.. Crissingers action. 1t does not protect
them from sane, fair competition. But it does tend
to elevate the standing of all. When there is need
for a bank it will make itself felt. The call
will be clear as comes for any business
institution.
The bank is public servant. 1t is useful only
when there is work for it to do. When the public
has too many servants they apt to become
nuisances. When it needs servants it is GER
tain to call for them in unmistskabie terms.

Welfare in Industry.

Q ECRETARY HOOVER expressed sentiments
y OF which every right thinking American must
approve in his address before the National Confer
ence of Social Workers at Providence yesterday
The blot of child labor must be wiped off the
slate of the United States If individual States are
unwilling to forego the wages of shame a consti-
tutiona1 amendment is essential 1t is unfortunate
that any more restrictions must be placed the
authority of American Commonwealths. 1t is
unfair to those States which ever have set the pace
in progressive legislation. But, howsoever regret
table the necessary may be- child labor must
be outlawed.
Secretary Hoover called attention to the fact
that over 100000 children affected and he said
rightly that this is 100000 below the ideals of
America" The system must go. 1t is incompre-
hcnsible that any State legislature should be so
bigoted or so corrupt as to allow child labor. Yet
we know that this is the
The Federal government does not seek greater
powe-. In fact, the reaction against authority
vested in Washington has started But State
can be allowed violate American ideals on
every hand Better by far that the national
authorities should have control than that the
lives of children should be crushed out among the
roaring wheels of Southern textile factories
The ultimate OF production is essential But
this never can be achieved without idealism. 1t
never can be achieved by grinding workers under
the wheels of industry. The social worker as well
the engineer and economist, has become neces-
sary figure in production.
The individual States must educate up to the
moral standards of the United States Until they
reach this stage occasional acts of Federal centra
zation will be necessary to insure justice. The
quickest means by which the Commonwealths can
regain their power is by acting towards their own
citizens and towards each other.
The first issue to be cleared up is that of child
labor. Secretary Hoover advises that the State
legislatures be given reasonable time to bring
about Improvement in this respect. If they show
no inclination to clean their own houses, however,
the government must step in. Present indications
seem to be that the Federal government will not
give them great many years to bring about the
necessary changes.
