1t is now not day too soon to begin our

Hammond's commission is unpreparcd to

duty OF finding means, not only OF per-
manently stabilizing the industry. but also
OF avertinS disaster in the immediate future
three months from now, say.
1t would be an abject confession OF fail
ure for MIR. Hammond and his associates
to warn the country at this stage of the
commissions Investigations that another
strike Is i'll prospect And it is not TO be
assumed that the commissioners are ready
to pronounce their efforts so futile They
are empowered 10 make most sweeping
inquiry into all phases of the coal industry

time to enact any emergency legislation that
may he proposed. \ final report is TO be
made within year. ii the commission feels
concern over Il fuel supply for the coming
year, il should go before Congress next
month with plan Of some sort which will
avert the possibility of Il strike in the spring.
1t Is difficult to believe that either the
operators or the miners will deliberately
precipitatc another strike carly next year,
legislation or no legislation Both inter
csts suffered heavy and irreparable losses
as Il result Of the last strike Neither made
any substantial gain In the settlement that
eventually was reached. and it is safe TO
assert that neither side has any taste for
another period OF paralysis in the coal min
ing industry. They will probably reach for
any reasonable plan which will keep the
mines going until the commission is pre-
pared TO submit its final report 1t is a
very plain part Of the commissions duty
