COAL G1MhISSI0N
WILL HEAR MINERS



The problem confronting the union
miners Of the state Of Washington Is
now before the National Coal Com
mission at Washington, d. G. Some
time ago John Il. Wallace. commits
sioner for the Washington Coal ope-
rators association, and Mr.. DOnnelIy,
representing the Northern Pacific
railway mines at Roslyn and Gle
Elum, left for Washington to lay the
case Of these mines before the Ma
tlonal Coal Commission. Last Friday
President Flyzik OF the Washington
Miners Union was requested by wire
from both washington, D. c., and
from the mine workers headquarters
at Indianapolis, to come to Washing
ton city Immediately for a hearing
before the commission. He left Sc
attic last Friday morning.
The joint agreement between the
miners union and the union mines,
most Of which are located in Eastern
Washington, expires on April 1.
Joint conferences were held some
time ago in. an effort to renew the
agreement at the old wage scale. but
the companies held out for a decrease
of $3.50 day on all day wage scales,
but for the contract prices to continue
as they applied to mining rates for
the miners. The conferences failed
to agree and adjourned sine die, and
shutdown Of all the union mines on
April has been pending.
Whether or not this can be avoided
will depend possibly entirely on the
outcome Of the conferences now be-
ing held at Washington, D. c. The
national union will be represented
together with the district organiza-
ton at the hearing, but no predic-
tion can be made at this time as to
the possible outcome.

going to be safeguarded against the premature
depreciation which comes to unzoned cities.
Zoned localities are better localities in which
to live. The zoned localities are not only alb
sorbing the better grades of development, but
they are steadily driving out of them the unde-
sirabe types of development to unzoned dis
tricts.
The best way in the world to destroy the
market value of piece of property is to have
some one build garage or filling station on
the corner in front of it.
Tho proposition to provide adequate zoning
for Kenosha is one in which every owner of
property should take an active interest If he
wants his property for residence purposes, he
should desire to protect it as such. If he wants
it for factory development, the need is just as
great. The line of demarcation is closely
drawn, and the only way to protect all con-
cerned is to provide in the fullest possible way
for that sane division of the property of the
city which will conserve the rights and priv
leges OF ALL
Kenosha should give it's best thought-both
official and unofficial-to the development of
the proposed zoning ordinance, and it should be
enacted into an enforcible law with the mini
mum of delay.

THAT RACINE PROPOSAL.

The proposal that a conference of the off
Gals of the cities of Kenosha, Racine and Mil
waukee be held with a view of framing an Off
clal protest against the passage of the Dahl
tax bill should be followed out with vigor.
The bread and butter of these cities is large
TX provided by their industrial institutions, and
the time has come for them to officially fight
for their bread and butter. There may be a
hesitancy on the part of some of the officials to
court the dspleasure of the officials at Madison
by opposing this pet bill of the admnistra-
ton, but it should be said that the officials owe
more to their home cities than they owe to any
political faction.
Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee are going to
be forced to fight for their very existence if
the unbridled radical is allowed to go-his course
at Madison unchecked. These rapidly growing
cities, which have built themselves on foun-
dation of industrial activities are facing a
crisis. Like rat cornered they must fight for
their lives.
Officially and unofficially, these cities must
use the few days remaining before the final
test comes on these tax bills to have their
cause properly placed before the little coterie
of men in the senate who have the power to
prevent blight being placed on every indus
trial city in the state. One of these senator's
lives in Racine several Of them live in Milwau-
kee, and the home towns of these men should
officially appeal to them to hesitate before they
vote for bill which is certain to bring trouble
and industrial depression.
Racine, Kenosha and Milwaukee are recover
ing from depression forced by war; and they
should not be forced to go from it into another
period of uncertainty and suspicion brought
by unfair and discriminatory legislation.
tits to be hoped that the officials of Kenosha
will make this conference matter of their
most earnest and diligent effort

INSURANCE FOR REAL ESTATE.

Kenosha spends thousands and probably
hundreds of thousands of dollars every year
for the protection of buildings against fire.
Most people have, however, only taken pass
ing interest in the suggestion that there
should be protection of the real estate on which
The houses stand.
Did it ever occur to you that the home
builder needs insurance against premature de-
probation of the value of his building by inju-
rious buildings being erected in his neighbor-
hood, more than he needs insurance against
fire! The realty loss due to out-of-placed build
ings in unzoned towns far exceeds every year
the loss due to fire.
Zoning is the only means of affording prop
erty owners this protection, and this is the rea-
son that the movement now going forward to
perfect zoning plan for Kenosha is one which
should have the support Of every property
owner
One of the real functions Of any community
is to guarantee the safety of investments in
real estate. A city which fails to do this is
never going to be overly attractive to the rest
of the world as home city. The man who has
money to loan to provide encouragement for
building is going to be much more willing to
loan it when he knows that his investment is

arms. Such regulations are in effect
in Rhode Island and Wheeling, W. Va.
A city ordinance in Memphis, Tenn,
forbids the sale of small arms to any
undesirable person under penalty of
! $50 fine.
Connecticut, by state law, requires
every dealer to report to police head
quarters within "a hours the sale of
every revolver or pistol, giving the
purchasers name and address and the
make and serial number of the weap-
on.
Birmingham, Ala, goes no further
than to forbid the display of danger
Gus wearons in store windows and
other prominent places.
Texas absolutely forbids sale of re-
volvers and pistols by state law. But
this law has been evaded in a whole
sale manner by the subterfuge of leas-
ing weapons for 80 years.
Only "Cannons" Allowed Here.
In South Carolina it is unlawful to
sell without due authorization a pistol
or revolver less than 20 inches long
or weighing less than three pounds,
the authorities evidently believing it
would be difficult to carry concealed
weapon of that size.
By far the most stringent of all
laws against firearms is that in effect
in New York state. This provides that
a pistol or revolver cannot be bought
or'even kept in home without police
authorization.
This strict law, however, is easily
evaded by New York criminals, who
can buy all the weapons they want
cheaply by crossing to New Jersey.
Police Commissioner R. E. Enright
of New York says:

TRUCKS.

Plenty of coal waiting at the mines,
but the railroads cannot haul it, on ac-
count of car shortage. With railroads
having more freight than they can
handle promptly, we realize the i'm
mense value of auto trucks.
Over a million motor trucks are in
service in America, hauling 1890 mill
lion tons of freight a year. The
trucks will never endanger the rail-
roads. Both are needed. Within 20
years we'll also have to have flying
freight trains.
