COOKING FORWARD TO NEXT
APRIL.

1t is currently reported that the soft
coal miners will demand a 6-hour day
and a 5-day week when the present wage
agreement expires, next April. There
are about 6OO, 900 soft coal miners in the
United States and their average output
Of coal per miner is little less than three
tons a day. They are now digging about
10 600. 600 tons week. This is about up
to the average weekly output for the five
wears prior to 1921. This is a big country.
1t uses about SEQ, COO 900 tons of soft coal
every year. Our exports of soft coal
amounts to only about the production for
four weeks. So many are the min
ers and so numerous are the mines
that the su ply of soft coal would
outrun the demand if this army of
miners work more than about $50 days in
a year. When that happens, the opera
tors shut down the mines until stocks in
the hands of dealers and manufacturers
are low and they are forced to pay the
price. Both the miners and the operators
desire to keep the price of coal as high as
possible. Neither party has any sympathy
for the ultimate consumers, and there is
at least a suspicion that they work to-
gether whenever there is an opportunity
to squeeze the public purse. 1t is only when
there is a cut in wages that there is any
clash between the miners and the opera
tors.
We do not believe the soft coal miners
get too high wages. We do believe that
the operators have boosted the price of
coal to an indefensible height Congress
evidently believing there was something
wrong in the coal business, passed an act
requiring the President to appoint COM
mission TO investigate coal business
from every standpoint. Last week the
President appointed John Hays Hammond
as chairman of the commission. Mr..
Hammond is a mining engineer of world
repute. The other members of the COM
mission are Mr.. Marshall, Vice President
from 1918 to 1921, George Otis Smith,
Director of the u S. Geological Survey,
Judge Alschuler of Chicago, Clark How
ell of Atlanta, DIR. Devine of New York
City, and Charles Neill, chief of bureau
of the Southeastern railways. This is an
exceptionally able and well balanced COM
mission. 1t is their duty to dig to the
b rock and to report on the soft coal
situation not later than January Is next.
This commission has authority to ex-
anime accounts, take testimony and as
certain all the facts connected with coal
mining.
1t will be remembered that the wage
agreement between the soft coal miners
and the operators expires on the 2lst day
of next April. The present agreement is
but truce. When it expires if the pres
ent rate of output continues there will be
plenty of coal and our railroads and in
dustrial plants will have plenty of coal
on hand and the stage will be set for an
other film fam on the public. Congress
will have all the facts and it is hoped that
our Lawmakers will have sufficient sense
and stamina to deal effectively with the
situation whatever it may be.
After the report of the commission has
been made regarding soft coal it has in
structions to investigate and report, not

Administration costs, including the

RUSH STARTS
FOR AUTOL|CENSES;
FEE BOOST
Applications for 1000 Cars Al.
ready Received; Legislation
May Increase Rates.
fTribune's Helena Bureaul

Helena, Dec. 23.-An exceedingly
heavy early rush of applications for
1923 automobile license plates las led
to the suspicion that many motor car
owners are hurrying to get under the
wire before a possible increase IN the
license fees might become effective.
Although the period under which 49,
licenses are applicable has still another
week in which to expire, applications
have been received by the motor Ii
cense department of the secretary OF
states office for licenses upon about
1000 cars. These licenses do not
come due until January l, 1923, and the
history of the business has shown that
in the past automobile owners were
slow in applying for licenses rather
than being ahead Of time.
Several organizations of the state
have taken action in the advocacy of
a substantial increase in motor license
fees with the idea of applying the re-
ceipts to the construction and mainte-
nance of the highways, and it is certain
that legislation along this line will be

III SLEEPING CARS
Rankin Starts Action for $685.
300 Against Great Northern
and milwaukee Railways.
TriiHne's Helena Bureau)

HcieHa. Dec. 23.-Charging that the
Greet Northern and the Chicago, Mil
waiAee 4 st. Paul railways have failed
10 nay into the state treasury the
amounts due under the sleeping car
license law enacted by the last legisla-
ture. an action for $56,20O has been
instituted by Attorney General W. ID.
Rankin in the district court of Lewis
and Clark county against those COM
paniee.
In his complaint Attorney General
Rankin alleges that the Great Northern
in each year operated 206 sleeping cars
in Montana. on which the law provides
there shall be paid he state a tax at
the rate Of 500 a car, '$20,600 for each
year, or a total of S41, 200 for the two
years. He charges that in the same
period the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway company has operated Is
sleeping cars, on which there is due
$500 a year, or a total Of $4,000 for
the two years, making a total claimed
TO be due from the two companies Of
$56,200. Suit also is brought for costs
of the suit and interest at the rate Of
8 per cent.
The attorney general has based his
suit on a state law enacted in 1911,
which is found in section 2314, Revised
Codes of Montana of 1921, and which
provides as follows:
License of Sleeping Car Companies
Every person, association or corpora
ton engaged in the business of operat-
ing sleeping cars carrying passengers
from n point to another within the
state of Montana shall pay into the
state treasury, on or before the first
day of January of each year, a license
tax of S1O0 for each car used by it in
the conduct of such business"
Attorney General Rankin stated hat
none of the railway companies have paid
this tax since the law first became
effective. In his suit he has only in
Guided 1920 and 1921, anticipating that
if the suit was extended to cover prior
years the defendant might cause the
statute of limitations to apply.
The sleeping car tax for 1922 has not
been paid by any of the railway COM
panies, but suit was not brought for the
present year, as the companies still
have time to make payment for that
period before January /.
