But, young gentlemen that
would like to find "work with

thing as light without heat in
reality. All light involves
waste of energy, loss OF heat,
in quantities however slight.
Greater efficiency gives more
light for less power. We get

The public, one OF whose duly con-

rates, would not be merely fair to

than fair-even generous. II values,

them into accepting an adjudication
not firmly based on social justice.
What does social justice demand?
Manifestly that in this case as in
others there shall be no privileged
class. Some work with their hands.
others work with their heads and
others work with their capital.
Each should receive proportionately
to his contribution. Perfection in di-
vision is mpossible-the efficient, for
humanitarian reasons, must carry

necessary at this moment to reiterate
It except in respect of the following
reminder:
To give the country its coal sup
ply, pending the working out OF
the sweeping changes imperatively
needed in the whole industry, the
mines could be reopened and the
men could go back to work on almost
any adjusted terms and conditions.
This matter would be of negligible

within which the production of all

lie being based on the thus equalized
cost of the whole within its zone.
This would mean shutting down
for the time being hundreds of mines
that have no economic right to be
operating under present conditions.
1t would mean better business man
agement and improved efficiency
with every ton of coal that was
mined. 1t would mean reduced costs
lower but more stable profits. more
regular employment. And above all
it would establish this great basic
industry. essential to the very ex-
istence Of the nation, on a sound
solid foundation.
The mines should reopen and the
men should go back to work on the
definite understanding, whatever the

they should begin work in the ex-

program OF going Immediately, vigor-
ously and intellgently-the owners,
the Government, engineers. econom-

working together-going in that
spirit and in that strength to the
final solution of the problem.
This is the time. To let the OPP
portunity slip would be to default on
a cardinal national obligation rest

conference on the coal question by
the will and under the direction of
the United States Government.
