Suggests the Remedy

IF man catches fish or gathers
fruit, he owns that fish and fruit and
can transfer his ownership by sale or
gift" says Atkinson. "But he acquires
no ownership of ocean or soil thereby.
If he cultivates the ground he becomes
the rightful owner of the grain his
labor produces, but not Of the sun
which ripened it or the field in which
it grew The full and exclusive own
ership of what his labor produces is
essential to freedom, but 10 assert "a
similar right to ownership in land or
water, which are the free gifts of Ma
ture, is to deny and impair the true
rights of property and to reduce labor
to slavery. To compel any man to
pay part of the proceeds of his labor
for the use of air, water, SUN or soil
is to rob him and enslave him.
1T is entirely possible to reconcile
private possession of land with this
right of a man 10 himself and his
products. 1t is right limited by the
equal rights of others and exclusive
possession may be held only so far as
it does not interfere with these rights.
If there were but two men living they
might divide the earth and each claim
exclusive eight to his half as against
the other, but not as against the next
man born. To deny him an equal right
to use the earth would be murder"
Atkinson points out that our present
laws place premium on Withholding
coal lands from use, and that Congress
opens it eyes and taxes everything and
Everybody except land monopolies and
monopolists. He believes the people
will get coal at proper prices if the
government so arranges the taxation
of the coal lands that they would be
opened up, and if also Uncle Sam
takes charge of the railroads and see
to it that that fuel is economically dis.

Atkinson on the Job
At this point, of course, one can
near the army in interest: "Anvone
can point out a wrong condition, but
now is it going to be set right"
Ask Bill Atkinson. Billy is making
hard fight to have the government
take real hand in protecting the pub
tic. For example, he discloses that
coal lands are not of value in them
selves. Unless they are tapped by
railroads they are so much waste and
they remain invaluable until the people
gather around and make the coal of
the country the neighbor of the stove
in the city.
With a year or two, thousands OF
coal mines have been opened-mines
without either rail or water transpor-
tation, and what has happened? The
pioneers who put the first picks into
the ground made little money. They
carried by team to the nearest market.
Then they grew and they bought auto
mobile trucks, but in one instance,
more than three hundred of these team
mine owners were put out of business
on the Connellsville Branch of the
B. & O. R. R. alone These men
could have opened up nearer to rail
road? Not at all The original own
ers of the coal lands would not per-
NIT it. They were holding on to the
lands, and despite the shortage, refus-
ed to open up the mines. The law OF
supply and demand, plus the legalized
use of the blackjack and jimmy, held
the small fellows, as we'll as the pub
lie in complete subsection.

COAL PROBLEM

NEW YORK-When Tammany
Hall, in the heyday of its power, con-
trolled the machinery of the courts
the faithful voter, arrested for not
shovelling the snow from his sidewalk
in December, was not arraigned until
July. Then the charge was read and
everyone laughed You couldn't con-
Wet man in July for failing to re-
move snow from his sidewalk in De-
cember.
A like situation exists to the detri-
ment of the people of the whole Of the
United States in relation to coal pro-
duction. Today with the sumo shine,
the freezing Of the poor is being ar
ranged, and the gouging of the middle
class of coal consumers all over the
land being made a certainty. The
blow will fall next winter, too late
to correct the trouble. Meantime we
all laugh. The coal barons are plant
ing the seed SO that when the renew
ed gouging comes there will be a
prolific crop of plausible excuses.
Consider Fortune of the Thaws
Now that robber prices for coal have
been established, they will never get
back to normal unless there is-a pub

Congress, and there never will be a
public outcry until the people under
stand the facts
The owners of our coal lands have
the people by the throat and the rail
roads tapping the coal territory, have

with explanations, figures and Other
camouflaged propaganda that is per.

of the facts would soon disclose thu
trouble, but editors are busy men
Profits-profits so extortionate on th'
necessities of life that they stagger i'm

Consider the fortune of the Thaws
Of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, based OF
the purchase some thirty years ago o
the coal lands in Fayette and West
moreland counties, in the Keyston,
State. Most of this land was bough
for SIS an acre by William Thaw, nov
dead. Today the Thaws get 40 cent
per ton royalty on the coal mined ant
|as a result they are raking in abou

Another gentleman, ]. V. Thomp
