BAR PROFITEERING
IN NON-UNION COAL

Following the agreement reached
last week with fifty soft coal operat-
ors, for an organized effort to pre-
vent profiteering while the present
strike is on, the secretary of COM
merce has now called a general con-
ference to bring all the other oper-
ators whose mines are producing,
numbering some fifteen hundred, into
line. Since the fifty produce the bulk
of the coal now coming from non
union and open shop mines, their in
fluence should count materially in
~furthering the plan to sell direct TO
consumers at reasonable rates
through clearing houses in the act
i've coal districts.
The purpose is to penetrate the
entire body of operators with the plan
agreed upon" Secretary Hoover
found the fifty cold toward it when
he first urged its undertaking. He
did not mince words. "The coal in
dustry will either govern itself or the
government will govern it." he said.
The operators could not misinterpret
that. And they were more inclined
to listen when Mr.. Hoover explained
that he was trying to "see what we
can do by purely voluntary action, in
the absence of any legal authority
whatsoever" Such action calls for
more moral courage on the part of
the operators than has been evident
since profiteering became popular and
for a c~rusading spirit that will make
converts in large numbers through
out the coal fields.
The success of the plan depends
upon the amount Of cooperation re-
ceived. Public support will be in
slant because the public is sick and
tired of being gouged for its coal. 1t
knows that there is no excuse for any
rise in prices at this time, because a
large surplus of mined coal still ex-
lists, and the non-union mines are
producing up to nearly one-half of the
normal output of the bituminous re-
gions. 1t has not forgotten how the
prOfiteers ran wild in 1920; and be-
fOIe it submitted to another such
merciless trimming it would prefer to
take chances with governmental con-
troll and operation of the industry.
Of course the operators understand
the state of the public temper. They
must see, too. that Mr.. Hoover, in
his effort to regulate the selling of
coal at prices that will be fair to con-
sumers and to them, is working with
rather than against them. Certainly
it is to their permanent advantage to
cooperate with him and to do every
thing possible to put up and MAN.
tain a bar against ~profiteering during
the life of the present strike.-Prov-
idence Journal.

The rates on wooden goods are about
the same as in our bill as those in
the Canadian law. We have free
boots and shoes, and Canada has been
taxing them 80 per cent. Canada
soaks "the poor mans breakfast ia
BILE" with a tariff on tea and coffee.
We admit them free. Canada taxes
sugar 2 cents, which is u general
rate, but inasmuch as the vast bulk
of it comes in from Cuba at a 20 per
cent preferential, our duty is not so
high as Canada's.
1t is to be noted that the action of
the Canadian minister of finance is
not final The House Of Commons
will have something to say about it.
On the whole, it would appear that
the Journal of Commerce was per-
nickety and premature with regard TO
the tariff relations between Canada
and the United States.
