The conference was in every way a

What Are the Facts?

Grievances of both sides to the coal
strike situation bid fair to be we'll
aired as the strike continues and the
interest of the public is increasingly
attracted. There is disposition in all
quarters to demand fair play and a
square deal for operators and men,
not to forget also like treatment for
the public.
But would it not be better for all
concerned if the strike could be called
off, the men return to work at status
quo and a congressional or govern
mental agency of some kind make an
impartial and judicial investigation of
the charges and counter charges and
promptly report the facts, SO that pub
lie opinion could be formed upon
something more satisfactory than eX
parte statements of the parties to the
contest? In Sundays Star, John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers. made a vigorous presenta-
I, ton of the case in behalf of the miners.
The mine operators. through their
channels of publicity. furnish a daily
setting forth of their own contentious.
Naturally. both sides put their best
foot foremost" in their representations

for instance, about the discrepancy be-
/ tween the sum the miner receives for
digging a ton of coal and that which
the consumer eventually pays for it.
Quoting statistics furnished by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
/ the Federal Trade Commission. Mr..
Lewis said: In other words. the mine
| worker got s1.97 for getting out a ton
of coal. for which the consumer was
compelled to pay Sl0.41. Who got the
other $S.44?" Well. who did" Perhaps
an inquiry of the kind suggested might
supply the answer.
{, Then there are conflicting claims
about the responsibility for non-em-
| ployment and absenteeism among the
workers. Mr.. Lewis asserted, no doubt

| miners in the bituminous fields We're
employed an average of only 125 days
| in the year 1921 out of total of 3OS
working days. and that they We're
idle 60 per cent of the time through
no fault of their own" At hand is a
statement put out by the operators
| which seeks to place the onus of idle
| ness and unemployment upon the
miners themselves. through certain al
legged application of union rules and
practices. to allurement of the daily
| wage, to the forced employment of an
asserted excessive number of special
| workers and so on.
| All these conflicting contentious
and arguments could be thoroughly

tribunal. and they ought to be.

Y. w. C. A. Campaign.

The Young Woman's Christian AS
sociation sets itself and it's friends to
the task of raising $4,000 ''to promote
the work of the association" and it
is very kind of the association to call
its effort a campaign" instead of a
drive" The ladies are really entitled
to considerable credit and considerable

Epiphany Church this evening. and
there will be speeches. And the prom
Use is made that the speeches will be
short. The teams for canvassing the
city have been appointed. and the
teams are numerous, and their men,
bership includes women who ought to
make a good job or a clean sweep in
raising the s45 900. The wish of all
persons who know anything about the
work of the Y. w. C. A. is that the
teams will have the best of luck. One
does not have to wish that they will
show zeal, persistency and skill in
getting money. They have those at
tributes beyond doubt and beyond COM
parison with men. Women are born
that way. The cause is a useful and
worthy one, and although Washington
has sustained hundreds of drives" and
is the veteran of a good many cam
paigns for raising funds, the old town
will come through this campaign of
the Y. w. c. A. with flying colors.
The sum sought is only s45,000. and
this, if the contributions are spread
over the whole community, as is the
purpose of the teams, will not empty
any single purse.
