A STRIKE PREVENTIVE.

What will become of the proposition that has been advanced by the operators for the settlement of the coal strike and the ending of similar conditions for a considerable period in the future is uncertain. For the good of all con- cerned there should be an early adjust ment and it cannot fail to be appre- ciated that when settlement is reached it should be along lines that will do away with the strike in the coal fields which can be figured on with large degree of certainty under present condi- tions
 That the operators would decline to grant an increase of 20 per cent in the wages of the miners was a foregoue conclusion. Such a demand, it would appear, was made to permit of bargain ing in connection with the operators de- sire for reduction in wages instead of seriously expecting to get it.
 The operators are seeking cut in wages to be applied to the reduction in the price of coal. The cut aimed at Is based upon the reduction in the cost of living the same as in other indus tries Hitherto agreements have run from one to two years, but under the op- orators proposal they would have Il cover a period of five years as regards working conditions but there would bt annual conferences for the purpose oi adjusting the wage rates. This would mean that a joint committee of opera tors and miners would meet the first O February to determine the wage rate t, be effective the first of April, with thu understanding that if an agreement hat not been reached by the first of Marcl it would be referred to a commission t be named by the federal court.
 The aim is to do away with the strlk
 and then arrive at an understanding il
 accord with the facts, without interrup | ton to industry, without loss to tn
 miners and without threatening the pub
 lie with the possibilities of a coal short
 age or making it pay the losses entaile by the strike. Some move of the kin should work out to the advantage c everyone involved, directly or indirect

tho Americans as possible their oppor- tunity would seem to lie in encourag- ing their coming and keeping them spending rather than discouraging their presence.
 It might be expected that the hotel keepers. the merchants, theater mana gers and those operating points of in terest would boost their prices. That wouldn't be a new stunt iby any means and to 8 certain degree would be ex- pected Going over there with the idea of spending they would anticipate some thing of the kind, but when certain of the cities decide to enforce the pass port regulations to the letter, they re- fuse to accept vises which are good for the rest of Germany and insist upon registration with the police 1t would ap- pear that they were intentionally driv- ing good business away. Instead of giving the visitors a welcome that would naturally be expected in anticipation of the business that would follow, cities of Bavaria are determined to kill that goose which has hitherto been regarded as the one laying the golden eggs.

ANOTHER PREPARATION CRISIS.

The date is approaching when the ai- lied nations must get another payment on its reparations or they must be given something more than the usual stall abou; being unable to rals> the money. which Germany has put forward on re- peated occasions.
 Germany has been granted delays and it has secured notifications of the de- mands upon 1t. There have been threats of a further invasion of it's ter ritory in accord with treaty terms be- cause 1t has not kept up it's payments. If Germany could show that 1t had done Its utmost to meet it's obligations there would be a different disposition mani- tested, even by France, but when 1t has refused to resort to the taxation of it's people and has apparently depended up- on the cry of inability to pay to slide from under the repararon payments 1t isn't able to arouse a great deal of sym pathy.
 On the other hand the effort to get the impossible from Germany Is obvi- ous. When it can show, however, that 1t is doing it's best, that it is doing as much as others in the way of taxation a1ll IS SUI AAA5 Ao u1HcL Au6 uClAahdS5 II knows fully well from the manner 1T which its various pleas for leniency have been considered that it will get fail treatment.
 France cannot forget. It has too muct staring it in the face to think of such { thing. It can hardly be expected to tol crate the idea of Tightening the burdel placed on Germany, because of Ger u'any's own acts, and yet If Germany lives up to it's promises 1t has nothing to fear.
 When the last of this month arrive Germany is due to make another pay ment to the allies. The big question how is, what is it going to do about it Just at the present time efforts are un derway to secure a large foreign loa for Germany. From that much hel would be obtained When France threat ens to send an army into German terrl tory 1t is apparently determined to oh tain results and to prevent any unjus tifed stalling. For the good of all sue a move should be prevented and it re mains to be seen what the next feV days can bring forth in that direction.

A FINE EXAMPLE,.

Attention cannot help being given toI the attitude which is taken by that Georgia sheriff who, after locating the young colored man who had escaped from a lynching party, announced that certain ones of that mob were known and that warrants for their arrest would be made.
 That is bit unusual in Georgia. There is of course no assurance after such arrests are made, if such a thing actually takes place, that they would be convicted and punished for the law lessness which they had planned, but it is something to tte credit of that sher- ife and the community he represents that he is disposed to prosecute those ,vno had arranged to commit murder.
 Occasionally tFere is a county in the south where jus. such rugged support CTS of law and oider are found. They stand out in consplrUous contrast to those other communities where large public gatherings witness burnings at the stake or the taking of human life in other but unlawful ways. It can be appreciated that such a sheriff will en- counter his troubles in law enforcement, but such an. example deserves to be held up before those who are lax and l spineless, and who by their disregard fur right and justice are indirectly sid ing and abetting a deplorable type of mob rule.
 In nc state is there greater need oi just such respect for the law as this sheriff has displayed than in the state of Georgia which holds an unenviahle record for lynchings and shows little inclination to improve

CLOSE TO AN AGREEMENT
 ON THE STEEL MERGER


 New York, May 24-Three com panies in the proposed independent steel merger-Republic Iron and Steel, Mid vale Steel and Ordnance and Inland are close an to an agreement, but the other two-Brier Hill and Steel and Tube of America--are still some distance from the rest, Thomas L. Chadbourne, counsel for the interested companies, declared tonight He said that he was still hope full that the merger would effected on a five company basis, but explained that if that plan fell down, there undoubtedly would be a consolidation of the three larger companies.
 The Trumbull Steel company, he ex plained, was mentioned as an intergraI part of the merger when the plan was first proposed last fall, but later dropped out, expressing desire to be considered later if circumstances were favorable to it's conclusion in the combination. No opposition to either the five or three company merger on the part of the gov ernment was anticipated, he said, be- cause in the one case the combined ton mage production was only one-eighth Of the country's total and in the other case, only one-tenth. This, he pointed out, disposed of any possibility of the proposed consultations becoming com, binations in restraint of trade.

Hundreds of men and wo- men have already found freedom from laxatives by eating Fleischmann's fresh yeast.
 Doctors are now agreed that proper elimination of waste matter should be brought about by food. One doctor comes right out and states plainly that the indiscrim- mate use of cathartics is one of the causes of constipation.
 Physicians all over the country are recommending Fleischmann's fresh yeast because 1t is a fresh food, rich in those clements which keep the intestines healthy. In one series of tested cases, normal functions were restored in from 3 days to 5 weeks.
