MARCH OF MINERS
Pre- VENTED TODAY
Police and Deputy sheriffs
Meet Marchers at Elm
Grove City Limits.

WHEELING, w. Va, June 90
A march of some one hundred IN
ion miners on operating mines in
the Edgewood and R:chland terri
tories was prevented by city and
county authorizes about 4:SO
o'clock this morning.
Warned that the march was to
take place, police and deputy sher-
ifs were assembled at the city linn
it's to meet the marchers, who form
ed in 5Triadelphia. The marchers,
consisting principally of men of
OF mine No. 2 at Triadelphia
of the Elm Grove Mining Company
with large American flag at their
van, came quietly down the pike
toward Elm Grove. Many of the
marchers carried small American
flags. None displayed firearms.
At the city line the group of of
ficers met them. The marcher halt
ed and following brief parley
agreed to return to their homes.
They insisted that they were not
armed, and intended simply walk
ing peaceably to the Echo Coal
Company, Edgington Coal Co., and
pittsburgh Wheeling Coal Company
mines in the Edgewood district and
to R!ch1and and asking the men to
join them in the strike and join
their, orga nization.
.; We do not look for further
trouble" said Sheriff H. T. Clouse
today. We had been Informed that
the march was to take place. The
union men of the Triadelphia and
Ell Grove districts had met early
last week and decided on the
march. 1t was to have been held
last Thurs day. was then postponed
until Friday, and finally until this
morning at 4 o'clock. There. was no
trouble of any kind. The men agree
to give up the march idea and re-
turned peaceably to their homes.
The situation is we'll in hand,
and l do not look for further dem
onstrations. 1 believe there is a
sufficiently strong element of Amer
icanized miners, at the Elm Grove
mines to convince the other fellows
OF the folly of such an attempt
All three of the Elm Grove min
ing company mines are idle and
have been since the strike was de-
clared.

The railroad signalmen. like the
maintenance Of way workers, have
done the sensible thing in deciding to
continue at work. subject to further
negotiations. If they convince the
carriers that the new wage scales
ordered by the United States Rail-
road Labor Board are unreasonable
the roads themselves can adjust the
matter with the men. If. on the
other hand. they fail TO reach an
agreement with the carriers in the
fresh negotiations they still will be
entitled to go to the board for a re-
hearing of and another decision on
their case.
And the signalmen have shown
more than common sense: they have
shown good tactics. Not only pub

Colossal Cost of the Strikes
CFrom the New York Herald).

A million and a quarter to a
million and a half of wage earn
ers are on strike. They are in the
main of the mos. highly paid crafts
in the world. The majority of them
have had an earning power. even
during industrial depression, of
from s35 to s45 a week. The other
skilled workers now on strike have
fallen somewhat short of such earn
ings only because general business
was slack. And just when business
had got well started again when il
was picking up speed. those high pay
craftsmen took themselves out Of
work with their strikes.
Taken all together the earning
power of those 1.25O,0OO to 1,50O,-
600 striking workers. their earning
power for themselves. could be aver
aging now, IL they were not on strike
but were at work, scarcely less than
SO a working day. But if it were
50, see what 1t means as measured
In terms of wage earnings alone. It
means not less than $4,000, 900
every working day, perhaps more
than s7.50O,OOO.
And if you take it at s7,OOO.OOO a
day 1t means at the rate of more
than two billions of dollars a year.

domestic markets abruptly relaxed.
But that is not all. The Industrial
production and the Industrial service
Of those striking wage earners are in
part lost to the economic energy and
the business building of the country.
This secondary loss, this loss to the
whole country, may equal now. and
in time it might surpass. the direct
primary loss to the striking wage
earners. 1t is no greater than the
immediate loss to the strikers. the
two together would range between
$12,000,000 and $15,OOO,OOO a day!
This is an Industrial loss, a finan-
clal cost, an economic wastage that
no war on the face Of the earth ever
reached. ever approximated. until
virtually the whole world went into
the recent war which wrecked the
economic stability and all but par
alyzed the industrial powers of the
Old World.

Germany Can Pay
CFrom the New York Tribune.)

100000. Since, not injured by war
operations. it has increased, through
the decline Of the purchasing power
of units OF gold, TO something like
$40. 100000. 900. To say that Ger
many can't pay $4,000. 900. 900 is to
say she can't realize on 10 per cent.
of her assets and convert them into
gold credits. Some case can be
made out for a temporary mora
torium. but none at all for her
principal contention.
In 1871, when Germany collected
$1,000 $1,000, 900 from France. the
French national wealth aggregated
only 25 per cent. of this sum. Yet
France. though her potential re-
sources were vastly less than those
of Germany. met the installments
before they were due. Moreover, the
invading Germans had done $1,000
900. 900 damage to French terri
tories. Yet the back of France did
not break under the double load.
She could pay 10 per cent. The
precedent clearly shows that it is

dure a sudden 10 per cent. loss.
The conclusion is inescapable that
Germany can pay. The defect Is in
her will. This judgment is con-
hrmed by the recent comparison
made by Professor Irving Fisher Of
the present taxation levied by bellig-
erent nations. He found that the
German government collects $40 per
capita per annum. while this country
collects nearly $40, France S45 and
Great Britain $50.

THE SEA POWER COVENANT,

ihE SEA POWER COVENANTS.
From the New York Tribune.
Great Britain has followed the
United States and Japan in ratifying
the Limitation of naval armament
and four-power Pacific treaties. The
three powers most concerned have
therefore accepted the work of the
Washington conference. Originally
the conference was planned to in
clude only Great Britain, Japan and
the United States. But France was
subsequently invited to be a singa-
tory to the Pacific non-aggression
compact, and Italy. as well as
France, was asked to join in the
declaration of naval construction
holiday and the fixation Of a ratio
for capital ships.
The French Chamber of Deputies
has adjourned for the summer with
out acting on the Washington treat
les. Opposition to them OF an aca-
demic sort has arisen in Paris. But
this comes from dissatisfaction that
France lost considerable ground as
a naval power during the war.
while Great Britain. the United
States and Japan were rapidly ex-
panding their fleets. Frances ratio
the same as Italy's-seems small
to many supporters of the French
navy. Yet the ratio takes into ac-
count the forced suspension of
French building from 1914 to 1919.
And France has the consolation of
sacrifices only of paper capital ships
which she delayed building and
could not well afford to build now.

a life-saver to many national treas
uries. 1t banishes trouble and con-
tentiousness from the high seas, for
each nation agrees to respect the
others present sea status and over
sea rights. France and Italy will
pretty certainly ratify the Washing
ton treaSes. They certainly have
nothing to gain by holding out. The
three major naval powers have set
a limit on naval rivalries which will
stand not only because it is just and
