Ireland's Tripartite Agreement

Another peace agreement for Ire
land---this time a three power treaty
with Ulster, majority Ireland and
Great Britain the signatories.
A remarkable treaty it is, par
ticuIarly in the concessions that
4 Ulster makes to the prejudice of her
Eautonomy. In the disturbed districts
the Catholic party is to recruit and
control half of the police force, and
this half is presumptively to be re-
sponsive to the government at Dub
lin rather than to the government at
Belfast. But there is no report that
life is to be made more pleasant for
Protestants in South Ireland by civ
ing to them half of the police.
About all south Ireland comedies is
that its soldiery shall not invade
north Ireland.
Recently north Ireland has been
accused of inhumanly treating its
minority. The treaty can be read as
confession of this and as a pledge
to reform, or it can be read as evil
dence of how far north Ireland is
wiling to go to get peace and to
quiet south Irish complaints. Which
is the correct explanation makes lit
tie practical difference, and it is
agreeable to learn that Belfast re-
ceives the news of the new pact with
satisfaction.
1t is commonly assumed that the
outbreak IN north Ireland are an
outgrowth of religious bigotry. Such
bigotry is, Of course, factor, but
there is reason to suspect the diff
ferences are largely economic. North
Ireland went to the war, while south
Ireland did not. The employers of
north Ireland naturally turned to
south Ireland for labor. When the
soldiers came back they were not
pleased to find newcomers in their
jobs. Hence boycotts and the ten
dency TO riot.
Outsiders are not competent to
judge the rights and wrongs Of the
complicated conditions. If north
Ireland is satisfied there is no reason
for others TO worry. The fisherman
has gained the repute of being able

Scotching a Pest

1t is encouraging to learn that
John Golden and Augustus Thomas,
representing the unanimous opinion
of the Theatrical Producers Assocja-
ton of New York, journeyed to AL
bany to advocate the signing Of the
anti-ticket speculating bill.
The Tribune has long contended
that the theatrical men could end
this evil if they chose to do so.
Apparently they have made up their
minds to get rid of the spectators
for all time.
Their purpose will be approved by
all theatergoers, who have been
constantly irritated for years by
their inability to purchase seats for
successful attractions save at out
rageously advanced prices.
The bill is intended to secure TO
every theatergoer the right to get
seats at box Office prices and to
punish those who seek to hold him
up in front of the house. The pro-
ducers contend that it is impossible
to prevent spectators from getting
hold of seats and out of the ques-
ton to get rid of the nuisance with
out adequate legislation. Their sup
port Of the law in the Legislature
and before the Governor appears to
be sufficient evidence of the good
faith of their contention.

Sane Opti,a,isn

tugene Meyer jr., managing di-
rector of the War Finance CORPORA
ton. after extensive travels through
the Western country, sends the re-
assuring report that he is persuaded
the days of depression are over
Business conditions, he SAYS. are
distinctly better, and farmers and
livestock growers have reason to be
confident Of the future.
That the turn for the better was
at hand has been increasingly cvi-
dent for several months. Mr..
Meyers testimony merely adds first
hand evidence about the agricul-
tural and grazing districts. The
War Finance Corporation has found
1t necessary during the last year to
make loans to many stock growers.
and, as Mr.. Meyer frankly puts it.
the corporation had it's doubts about
some of them, owing to it's unfamili-
arlty with conditions on the ranges.
But his personal investigation has
convinced him that the swing toward
prosperity has definitely begun.
There are, of course, many diff
ferences in various sections of the
country and in different occupations.
SO also the readjustment in prices
and wages has been irregular. But
the fundamental conditions appear
to be essentially healthy.
That the revival will be rapid is
not to be expected. 1t will take many
months before the business life of
the country returns to a normal
level. But there are indications in
all quarters that henfeforth a grad
ual but steady improvement in all
lines of work is to be expected. Not
even the coal strike seems to have
introduced jarring element in the
new feeling of confidence.

The Coal Miners Case


believe the American public under
stands thoroughly the reason why
100000 union mine workers laid down
their tools and suspended mining
operations. And I believe, too, that
the American public feels that the
miners are fully justified in the action
they have taken. Their working and
wage agreement expired at midnight
on March 81, and no new contracts
were made to govern the industry for
the next two years. 1t is not the fault
Of the United Mine Workers Of America
that this situation exists. The miners
are anxious to work. They want steady
work. They must work to make a
living. Idlcness means everything to
them. Through their enforced idleness
they are deprived Of the opportunity
to earn living.
There is vast difference. however.
between the situation in the anthracite
industry and that which exists in the
bituminous branch. Anthracite miners
and operators are in conference in New
York, making good-faith effort to
work out an agreement under which
wages and working conditions will be
determined for the coming two-yenr
period. True, they have not yet reached
an agreement, but they are we'll on
the Wey.

Labor's Fight

This is not alone controversy and
struggle between miners and mine own
ers. 1t is the fight Of labor against tn.
general movement to wipe out trade
unionism in America. Coal companies
openly boast that this is a good tim.
TO make this fight and kill off the
unions. They say coal miners have
been starved through unemployment.
until they are willing to work for
whatever they can get. They think
that while tho miners are in that con-
dition they will not fight for the preser-
vation of their union. It is true that
the union coal miners were employed
only an average of 125 days in 1921
and that they earned an average OF
only $500. 1t is true that thousands Of
miners have not had days work for
year. But their loyalty to their union
and to the cause of labor in general
has not been diminished and they are
not going to submit to the starvation
method of settling this controversy.
The miners feel perfectly safe in
resting their case in the hands of the
American public. confident that the
public will see to it that they get q
square deal.

The Wisdom Of Abimelcch

I. +. v: was out at Preakness.
\. j., the other day and ran into Uncle
Abimelech Bogardus. He seemed to
think people were unduly stirred up
over the way in which Congress was
cutting down the navy. All that was
necessary, in his opinion, was for the
Big Navy advocates to fix things up
so that sailors, instead Of being en-
listed, would be appointed by members
OF Congress. Then, he was prepared to
guarantee we would have a navy big,
ger than the Army Of Unemployed.
Uncle Alb was of the opinion that we
ought to stop paying salaries to New
York policemen and put them on piece
rates. One hundred thousand dollars
for each conviction struck him as a
rate that would be REQ esonably fair to
the cops and very economical for the
taxpayers. HEDTIN HELWARD.

4 Scrapped agreement

If the bituminous operators had met
:he representatives of the miners
in joint conference the suspension
probably would have been averted, for
there is every reason to believe that
an agreement could have been reached
that would have been satisfactory to
miners, operators and the public.
These operators signed written agree
ment in New York on March 81, 1920,
that they would meet the miners in
joint conference prior to April |,
1922. to work out new wage con-
tract. We believed they signed that
agreement in good faith and that they

to the agreement, just as they would
be required to live I'D TO any other
business obligation. Instead Of follow
ing the honorable course, however.
they scrapped their agreement and
refused to meet the miners. That's
the reason the miners are on
strike to-day They cannot be ex-
pected to remain at work unless they
know what they are to get for their
labor and the conditions under which
they are to work.
1t is useless for these operators to
offer excuses for their dishonorable
business conduct in refusing to live up
to their contract. They may tell the
public the long established method of
negotiating wage agreements between
miners and operators has outlived its
usefulness; they may tell the public
anything they please, but the fact re
mains that they break their contract
deliberately and purposely to drive the
miners into a strike
Operators AliLi
Some of the operators have set un =
brand new albi by saying that they
were afraid to keep their word and
meet the miners in conference be-
cause of certain indictments pending
in the Federal court at Indianapolis.
That excuse is worthless and the pub
lie should pay no attention to it. be-
cause Attorney General Daugherty
gave President Harding an official
opinion a short time ago that the
miners and operators would not be
violating any law Of the United States
If they were to meet in a Joint con-
ference in accordance with their
written pledge. That opinion disposes
of that handmade excuse for their
vicious act of contract breaking.
The miners regret the circum stances
that made this suspension necessary.
1t is our hope that the public may not
suffer inconvenience from this suspen
sion, but if Inconvenience follows we
want the public to know Just who is
