have fallen from s125, 100000 to

fruit than the Hughes policy.

everything, to a commission to be
named by President Harding.
II the strike leaders refuse this
proposal they will put themselves in
an awkward position with public
opinion. The anthracite burning
public will not suffer from lack of
heat until late autumn, but the coal
must begin TO go into the bin be-
fore summer is over so that the fuel
will be available when freezing
weather does arrive. Let the an
thracite strike leaders reject the
operators offer TO have a Presi-
Dental arbitration body settle every
thing and the public will demand
that the strike be broken. If neces-
sary by force.
without public sympathy no
strike involving necessaries of life
can ever get very far. With the
public hostile TO the strikers their
cause is hopelessly lost.
While the anthracite situation
thus takes on a better aspect from
the point of view of the publlc's
interest, the bituminous operators
will have to do something Wig
orous and effective before many
more days have passed to get out
the coal needed TO keep the wheels
OF American mills and factories
turning and 10 hold the wage earners
in American Industries in their jobs.
If they do not the public will scarce
~ fail TO demand that the bituminous
owners agree that a Presidential
commission shall do with their mines
what the anthracite owners offer to
have done with theirs.
The country cannot be allowed to
run out OF fuel. When the coal
pinch comes something will have TO
be done TO get out the coal.

When the Coal Pinch Comes
CFrom the New York Herald.)

There are two distinct phases OF
the coal strike situation, one having
TO do with anthracite, the other
with the bituminous product AS
the hard coal supply very largely
concerns householders and their
heating needs In the North Atlantic
States no crisis will come from that
source before frost, although virtu-
ally no hard coal at all has been
mined for more than two months.
Very different is the bituminous
situation. Soft coal does not merely
provide heat in winter for the mass
of Americas population throughout
the South and generally west of the
Allegheny Mountains; # is the driv-
ing power of American industry
everywhere all the year round
Since the first day of April the
railroads and the power plants of
the country have been consuming
twice as much soft coal every week
as has been taken out of the ground.
The moderate surplus supply which
was on hand when the strikers
walked out nine weeks ago has so
dwindled. therefore, that without
big increase in non-union production
national industry will begin 10 feel
a coal shortage pinch before the
Fourth of July.
If the bituminous mine owners
are doing much of anything to re-
sumo production in the union fields
or to speed up production materially
in the non-union fields they are
keeping the fact a dark secret. On
the other hand the anthracite op-
orators are forcing the issue with
their striking miners by putting il up
to the striker leaders that since the
two parties cannot reach an agree
ment the owners will leave the whole

preme Court decided It was null
and void because unconstitutional.
1t was intended TO restrict the en-
ployment of children under Ia in
any mill, cannery. workshop or fac
tory, or in any mine or quarry under
16 years. by imposing an excise tax
of 10 per cent. on the net annual
profits OF those employing such labor.
The law was held invalid as an
attempt by Congress TO regulate
through its taxing power something
entirely within the Jurisdiction Of
the various States. The intent of
the law was humanitarian, the end
TO be accomplished was commend
able, but the passage of the act was
wrong Congress had no power TO
forbid child labor in the States. II
had no constitutional right to make
child labor a crime or misdemeanor;
at all The tax was form of pun
ishment, a penalty. But as Con-
gress could not make law forbid
ding child labor it was nIanifestly
absurd TO punish for breaking a law
that did not exist.
