What an Old Sergeant Has Learned

At the ripe OF 80, Sergeant Fred Binder civil
veteran living the outskirts of Washington has
learned es great lesson that it doesn't pay to worry

With 80 full years of life behind him, Sergeant Binder
has apparently found that worry not only futile of

constantly keeping the bright side of things before him.
he has reversed the tendency of lot of folks who go

A Bill of Fuel Rights

The federal coal commissions preliminary report says
officially at last what every coal has long
thought, the result of bitter experience, to-wit
First, that in coal mining in raroading, banking
supplying water the public interest should first and
there limits to the rights of those who and
the industry.
Second that when operators disagree with miners
wages and resort to industrial war; national emergency
exists in which the government should and operate
the mines
Third, that congress should establish an authority
which could watch the coal industry, keep the public
formed, and protect public welfare.
So far, good.
These sensible suggestions will strike home with the
coal consuming public everywhere They probably will
appeal to the enlightened members Of congress No
need hesitate to espouse the publc's rights to
supply Of fuel at reasonable prices, especially now
that the conservative presidents coal commission has laid
down our bill of fuel rights.
The is that the United States supreme court
which has already denied tn, federal government the
right to dig into the affairs Of the coal industry will
deny the right of congress to RI gulate coal mining.
The value of the commission g preliminary report lies
it would seem, mainly in the fact that it has gone on
record agreeing with the p bic Now if it can show
congress how to pitch law ow the plate in such way
that the supreme court cann't knock the left
