The Presidents Soft Coal Plan
(From the New York HeraId.) }

President Harding's conclusion az
TO the prime need of the moment in
the soft coal situation is based or
solid fact. 1t is transportation.
The non-upion mine supply OF
bituminous did not make a nose dive
the other day because the mines
were near the limit of their capac-
ity. Nor was II because the miners
in those fields became either lacking
in numbers or unwilling to continue
their forced draft production. on
the contrary at the very moment of
the production collapse the mines
themselves were in better sharo than
ever TO increase their output. There
were plenty OF men to go on i'm
proving the record which had been
so speeded up that the non-union
mines at that time were supplying
two-thirds of the country's soft coal
needs.
The mines were all right in every
way and the men were all right in
every way. But mines turning out

them get the coal at and around the

II was the rail transport machin-

the flow of coal to market but the

When the soft coal rail service

CFrom the New York Tribune)

The Presidents plan for the set
tlement OF the railway shopmen's
strike involves two main things. All
else is secondary and scarcely worth
discussion.
The first is unqualified and un-
reserved acceptance, by both the
railroads and. the shopmen, Of the
decisions OF the Railway Labor
Board. The second is restoration
of the status quo Of July /, save the
reduction in wages.
The shopmen when they defied
the boards decision followed a prec-
edent made by the railroads. For
months the railroads have fiouted the
boards decisions. The moral delin-
quency is double, not single.
Complete and unconditional ac-
ceptsnce OF the boards decisions is
the great essential Gaining this,
the public will have won the strike;
losing It the public loses all. The
only way known to civilization for
resolving disputes is through the
Judgment of a third and outside
marty. A particular decision may
be wrong or right; no sort OF court
Is perfect; but decisions when made
must be obeyed.
As TO a Labor Board decision
moreover. the law provides for con-
tinuous appeals. There is no hnal-
ity in an order and can't be. Errors
are always correctible. 1t follows
there Is no concession to the shop
men in declaring they may seek
review.
As 10 Seniority" there Is vast
to-do over nothing or very little.
The chief privilege of an old EN-
Move is his pension right. This
the men on strike have already paid
for. During the years they have

The recent World War in every
way proves to the hilt the tremen-
dous advantage readiness brings
Great Britain's readiness at sea was
\ never overcome and was the means
of concentrating the material re-
sources of the world and the man
power of the white world against
Germany.
II took the material resources OF

than victories. 10 overcome the
readiness of Germany.
Throughout, the power OF the
enemy was such that practically no
fighting took place within her ter
ritory.

and on sea conclusively proves that,
more than ever, potential strength
which cannot Immediately he
brought to bear in the shape OF
efficient Sighting fleets at sea and
armies on land is helpless for
months to come when war arrives.
The effort we made after we de-
clared war in 1917 was magnificent
under the circumstances. We did
more than we could have reasonably
expected TO do. That effort un-
doubtedly was decisive in swinging
the balance the right way. In con-
sidering II we are too inclined to
forget the weary months between
April II and July 1S1 necessary to
put a relatively small number of
men on decisive battlefield, and
that during this long delay our AL
lies just missed suffering decisive
defeats on several occasions.
Preparation for war is somewhat
different today from what It was
prior to the World War. due to
many changes in methods and
weapons.
Preparation to protect this ,coun-
try is different from preparation to
wage a war OF aggra ndlsement.
The necessity for the United States
to be properly prepared today is
greater than II was prior to 1914.

habit OF facing trouble i'm this world.

| But the transport agencies, through
iearth of adequate provision ana
lack of n fight It out spirit all along
the line, simply blew up at the very
moment when the mines and the
miners were at their best. This tied
up the mines as badly as a strike
could
That water is all over the dam and
there is no need TO dwell on it fur
ther now that the Government has
taken steps TO repair the damage
that was done and prevent a recur-
renee of the trouble. The Inter
state Commerce Commission, the
railroads and all others concerned
are on the job OF getting the coal
transport machinery tuned up and
kept up to the degree OF adequacy
and efficiency that will haul the coal
away from the mines as II is hoisted
out of the mines This should re-
store the rate of soft coal output
that obtained when the haulage
facilities. not the mining capacity,
broke down. 1t should as well slim
ulate the mines to resume the steady
progress they were making toward
the goal of supplying three-quarters
OF the country's soft coal needs.
Indeed. the coal bureau of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
lust now reports that only 100000
more miners of equal producing
efficiency with those now mining
coar' are needed in the soft coal
fields to supply 100 per cent. of the
cotntrv's soft coal needs
If. therefore. the soft coal rail-
roads, the other railroads and the
United States Government will see
to 1t that there is plenty of rolling
stock on hand plenty Of train crews

1t does not relate to wages or pro-
motions; only to preferred assign

The railways have need of the new

and voluntary retirement. the rail-
roads can easily find work for the
5 per cent. addition to their work

settlement implies.

willingness TO accept the settle
ment. 1t is time for railway exec
utives to do the same. Mr.. Loree and

men OF business see the precipice
ahead? The railroads won't earn
much when freight is not offered
for transport and coal is lacking to
stoke engines to haul Il.
In their own interest as well as
in loyalty to the supreme right of
the public It is time for the railroad
to show as good a spirit
as the shopmen. They should cease
debate and agree to the only set
tIement in sight. Not to keep the
