BY THE WAY Comment and Criticism About Things Doing in the World.

Some bright person, writing to the edi- tor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger suggests that If the suspension of work 1n the coal mines continues the mines should be taken over and operated by prisoners
 This proposal indicates genius. It is a wonderful idea Why not put the pris- oners at work mining coal?
 But there's fly in the ointment First prisoners are not strk1e breakers and are not i'll prison for that purpose Second, coal has to be mined by miners It cannot be mined by anybody that comes along. Pennsylvania has very sensible Jaws on that subject.
 The suggestion just goes to show what foolish notions float around in the minds of some people.
 The Foster crowd in Pennsylvania at tacks President Lewis of the United Mine Workers in a circular signed by Thomas Meperscough and printed by the so-called Progressive International Committee of the United Mine Workers
 This IS another Moscow effort to creep into American trade unionisn. The Mi ners union has declared this alleged co1l- mittee a dual organization. Q
 The miners. have shown up the work of the reds and this circular Is little effort to bite back. The red effort in the miners union IS sample of red work everywhere and an indication of what other unions may look for.
 The miners know the reds and how to deal with them.

 Some Greeks killed some Italian off, cials, so the Italians killed some Greeks and took two or three islands in order to compel a Greek apology.

 But when appeal IS made to the League ot Nations many pesonS who have no sympathy with bandity, individual or na- tional, will not find 1t easy to condone the curt Mussolini refusal of peaceful ad- judication.
 r If the League of Nations can overcome Italian objection and adjust the dispute 1t will be notable indication of League of Nations possibilities. And 1t is what 1r1enQS or the League expect the League to accomplish. Also it IS what its op- ponents more or less hope it will not accomplish.

There, it seems, Klan members have been responsible for a series of brutal whippings which have spread terror for more than a year and finally resulted in the declaration of mar tial law in Tulsa County.
 Aldrich Blake executive counsellor to Gov. Walton, who has made a thorough investigation of the situation in Tulsa, tells story that should strengthen the determination of organized labor to op- posce the Klan wherever it rears its head.
 "The whole story of Tulsa will never be told" says MT. Blake. Men flee from savagery and torture Scores of Tulsa victims fled. The average man is pretty apt to change his address after his skin has been whipped until it is raw and then he is threatened with death if

COAL DEALERS GOUGE
 BUT ESCAPE CENSURE

Washington, Sept 15.-In a report issued just prior to the miners sus- pension of work the United States coal commission charges that jobbers and wholesalers were responsible for high prices for anthracite costs last year.
 The commission said wholesalers are often connected with the mines through interlocking directorates and that an investigation anthracite prices in New England revealed that wholesalers profits ran as high as SAYS a ton.
 Pyramiding prices and "paper" sales between wholesalers was again exposed in the report. The commis- sion said that as many as four whole sale purchases and sales sometimes intervened between the miner and re- taller i'll New England lat winter.
 New York, Sept. 15.-The New York World asks why the United States coal commission delayed pub fishing it's report on hard coal profits until this late datei
 This newspaper intimates. that the public had not made up its mind on the differences between mine workers and coal owners. The public press, however, seems practically a unit that the public has made up its mind, which, by inference, is against the miners.
 Contrary to this attitude of the press, the World says that the coal commissions report comes too late, and that it is mot enough in itself to aid the public in making up it's mind coneerning the question of the hard coal miners demands"

Oppose Prison Labor;
 Union Argument Used

New York, Sept. I5.-1n its cam- paign against prison-made goods, the International Association of Garment
 Manufacturers IS using every argu-
 ment organized labor has for years
 presented in its war against this evil. These manufacturers now agree that prison labor IS harmful and should be abolished.
 This statement by A. F. Allison. secretary of the manufacturers asso- ciation,, sounds like a trade union declaration:
 Under the contract labor system, prisoners engaged in the production of garments are paid an extremely
 low wage, thus lowering the cost of
 manufacture to the contractor and en-
 abling him to undersell those manu- lecturers who employ free labor at the prevailing wage rates Tn their communities.
 We believe that the present sys- tenn is not only bad business from general economic standpoint, but from the standpoint of the state and the prisoner as we'll Let the prison con- tractors weep crocodile tears over our selfish efforts to take the poor con vict from his pet sewing machine. We are sure that the general public has broad interest in this fight, for the proper handling of the whole prison question is of vital importance to every citizen-
