Avert q Mine Strike.

Next to q nationwide strike Of rail.
way workers. nationwide strike of
coal miners contains the greatest pos.
sibiltty'of disaster to the nation. For
that reason prompt and decisive no.
ttce should be taken Of the proposal
formally advanced yesterday at In.
dianapolis, that the bituminous and
enthracite miners unite In strike. at
the end Of March.
Because OF the seriousness OF the
menace and the necessity that any ac.
ton to be taken shall be taken prompt.
~, the bill introduced yesterday by
Senator Kenyon of Iowa providing for
the creation of a national coal mining
board becomes Of immediate impor-
lance. That measure should be exam.
ined at once by the legislative and
administrative branches Of the govern.
ment, and If it is determined that its
ultimate enactment Is in accord with
sound public policy 1t should be given
the right Of way over all other legis.
lation and passed without an hours
Unnecessary delay.
As a starting point IN considering
the threatened strike. 1t must be as
sumsd that the miners want only what
they believe to be right and fair. 1t
is suggested at Indianapolis that their
purpose just now is to win public
opinion to their cause. and to force the
operators into joint wage conference.
Public opinion already is on their side
to the extent of insisting that the
operators shall not refuse to confer on
wages. Public opinion is ready to con.
tinue with them through negotiations
to a final settlement. and to assure
them Justice. provided only that the
miners themselves are ready to submit
their cause to public opinion and to
abide by its verdict. But II 1t 10 to be
a case where public opinion is invoked
for winning verdict. and fiouted if
the verdict is not wholly to their lik-
ing, then it is something other than
justice which the miners seek.
The Kenyon bill does not propose to
use the powers Of government to force
acceptance Of the national boards de-
cision in q wage dispute. All it does is
to set up an impartial tribunal for de-
termining the facts and handing down
an award based upon the facts. and
then leaves it to public opinion to com.
pei both the miners and the mine
owners to comply. 1t Is the same prin-
ciple under which the Railway Labor
Board has operated effectively. The
railway workers. the railway owners
and the public all are better of be.
cause that board was in existence.
Eventually some such system will be
sdopted for avertins strikes in coal
mining and other basic industries.
And if eventually. why not now?

General Closing Recommended,

One Of the findings Of the coroner's
jury in the knickerbocker case is a
recommendation that all theaters
and places where the public assemblies
be closed and kept closed until such
time as their safety is assured"
This is a drastic recommendation,
Calculated to disturb the public serI.
oUsly whether it is carried into effect
or not. 1t is virtually q condemnation
Of all buildings Of this character, put
ting every one Of them under sus-
nicion. The Commissioners, with
whom the decision rests. should con-
slider very carefully whether to follow
it out with q sweeping closing order
or to reassure the public by an ex.
plicit expression of confidence in the
stability Of these buildings.
Naturally the failure Of one of
these large public amusement houses
has already caused apprehension. At
tendance at places Of amusement has
been affected in a considerable degree.
The fact that buildings have stood for
long periods without developing faults
has not been perfect assurance to
the people in view Of the fact that the
place that collapsed had been in serv.
ice itself for several years without
showing any signs of weakness.
Either the jury's recommendation
should be promptly adopted and ex.
haustive research made into the struc.
tural stability >of all places Of public
assemblage, or it should be as prompt
ly rejected. save perhaps In particular
instances where structural defects are
already suspected or known to exist.
In any case. there should be perfect
frankness with the public. No blanket
suspicion should be thrown over all
houses Of entertainment in Washing.
ton unless there is real justification.
Nothing was adduced at the inquest
bearing upon the strength Of other
structures Of this character. The only
ground for suspicion against other
houses il that afforded by the made
quacy OF inspection. It logically fol.
lows that Il there was incompetent
supervision over the Knickerbocker
there may have been equally incom.

Toward phrases of unrest.
His optimism is refined.
He holds himself alert.
And never thinks q thought unkind

He gets the biggest piece of pie;
OF beef the largest slice. F..

He claims the highest price.
He always manages, some way,
By fortune to be blest. ..~
