 In his address before the Canadian Mining In stitute at Nelson B. C., Hon.

THE COAL STRIKE SETTLEMENT.

AS far be- the settlement of the coal strike clear cut victory for the strikers Neither wages price of coal will be reduced. There will be searching investigation" but if the result of the investigation should be decision in favor of lower labor cost and cheaper coal there is nothing to prevent another coal strike. Of if 1t should be determined that producers could sell coal lower enough lower to permit the United States to regain of her lost coal markets and to encourage reopen their industries and enable them to manufacture at cost that would permit the entrance of their products into foreign markets and maintain the present labor cost at the time. the settlement might prove to be a wise
 It cannot be forgotten, however that there have been investigations of the coal problem. The situa been investigated by the railroads and other large consumers of coal Those interested in the tension of our foreign commerce investigated the situation from their viewpoint which, like that of the consumers demanded cheaper fuel. Then the Russell Sage Foundation conducted investigation covering all positions that of the public which is interested in cheaper coal for and that of the coal miners. and their need for living wage The unani nous decision of all the investigators that coal production costs in the United States are too high The Russell Sage Foundation declared that for the amount of coal produced the coal miners were getting excessive payment. It found. however. on account of the fact that coal miners were not able to get in full time working from two three to five days . week average their gross earnings were too httle. It declared that there are 130,000 to 1bO.0O0 too many coal miners in the country to produce the quantity of coal needed and far too many coal mines.
 As far the public is concerned it will receive relief from high coal prices result of the strike settlement and cheaper fuel is of the things that railroads said would be before there be much reduction in freight rates.
 It is conceded that cheaper fuel and cheaper trans portatfcn among the prerequisites to cheaper ducton and cheaper production is of the necessi- ties for greater foreign markets. So There you are.

The Premier Succumbs.
(NeW York Post.)


 Lloyd George goes about in white topper, Ispats, creased trousers, and the other regulation equipment of London gentleman The opposition. wearing of shouting the theme of Georgian perfdy, suddenly began to attack his clothes. This too much. Lloyd George might stand out reparations for Russia coal, but he is human, and in bowler and wrnkled raiment he could not hold the fort taga the scrbes and fashoneers He capitulated came into camp, and passed under the yoke of Fashion.
 Curious development of democracy-not even a statesmen dare dress he peases No who amounts to anything may dress he pleases. So- tcety has many lines of defense and not the least inn portan of these is clothes. Instinctively, society fears ragged and careless who mark not the passing of the season's styles Note the sly wisdom of the world No sooner is the unconye entional mind tanned to the point of conventional raiment, than clothes begin to exert their subtle control One does not lead the mob in evening clothes; tofs in toppers stir tumults Fashionable London is conservative London. and conservative London feels safer with Lloyd George dressed in the mode So attred the Premier is step nearer to becoming the city's pet lamb and step further from the radical young barrister who used to talk confscation of landed estates.
