Current Business Conditions

Bv GEORGE E. ROBERTS

find that in order to be sure Of
having an ample supply they would
have to lay in stocks. The coal
operators would have to settle by
competition who should have the
miners and the business, upon the
condition that the mines were oper-
ated all the year round, and the
natural solution would be that the
most available and easily-workcd
coal deposits would be worked first.
If the miners Union would use its
power to promote some such reason
able adjustment as this, it would
help the situation of the mine
workers and at the same time
render a great service to the public.
1t is urged in some quarters that
the mining industry should be taken
over by the Government. This,
however, would involve purchase of
all coal deposits in the country, an
impractical undertaking, and if that
was done, what policy should tn.
Government follow? Should it con-
tinue TO divide up the limited
amount OF work among all the men
who claimed share of it, incrcas-
ing the pay as the amount of work
for each diminished, or should it
organize the industry for efficient
production, and compel onc-third of
the miners TO find other work? If
the latter is the remedy, the miners
can apply it themselves, without the
Intervention of the Government.
Would they rather do it of their
own choice or under the direction
OF the Government?
Social Progress
In the course of the recent hear
ings upon the coal industry before
the Labor Committee OF the House
or Representatives, Washington, the
following colloquy was reported as
taking place between Congressman
Atkinson, of Missouri, and Edgar
Wallace, representative of the Fed
Grafton of Labor and member of
the miners union:
