Editorial Comment
The Wreck in the Eennebec
(ROStOn Herald)


We assume that none of the pas
sengers of the steamship Rockland
is the worse for his experience of
fog and wreck at the mouth of the
Kennebec. The inconvenience and
danger take their place among the
past experiences over which the
average yoyagers may smile. The
one thing to make sure of now is
that the river is sufficiently marked
for purposes of navigation under all
conditions of weather and sea. The
United States lighthouse bureau is
indefatigible in its efforts to pro-
vide all the aids necessary for the
safety of ships and the coast of New
England is extensively buoyed and
lighted. If some form of automatic
signal is needed off Dix Island, no
doubt it will be furnished. 1t IL by
such accidents as that which may
now have made the Rockland a total
loss that sailors and engineers learn
where additional warning signals and
beacons are required.

HiGH-HANDED AND BRUTAL

Later reports from the scenes at
Corfu, when the Italian warships
shelled the town killing twenty
refugees including sixteen children.
confirm most emphatically the opin-
ion that Italy acted in a high hand
ed indefensible manner.
It is said the italian commander
was notified that the barracks he
later shelled sheltered only refugees:
1t does not appear there was any
considerable force in Corfu to pre-
vent a landing. there being but two
hundred Greek soldiers stationed
there since the war. 1t furthermore
appears that the orders were
peremptory, that the British consul
received his orders only ten minutes
before the Smelling was begun.
Italy has projected herself under
the spotlight but it is not an alto
sether friendly light. neither under it
does she make good appearance.

WARNS OF PERIL IN ATTEMPT TO
 CUT MINERS PAY

(By International Labor News Service.)
 Washington, D. C. June 2o.-If the U. S. Coal Commission assumes that wages of anthracite coal miners can be held at their present level or that 1t is impossible to cut the profits of coal mine owners, any recommendations the Commission makes will hapidly be- come ancient history, is the conclusion reached by Hilmar Stephen Raushen- bush in "The Anthracite Question" just published by the H. w. Wilson Company of New York
 MT. Raushenbush says that real wages of anthracite miners per ton were only per cent more in 1919-1o2O than in 1902 or 1913. In 1917 real wages were the same as in 1899. Real wages per ton in 1921 were 50 per cent. more than in 1902. These facts taken together with the known facts about the increasing prosperity of the coal mine owners spell trouble for the future, MT. Raushenbush predicts.
 MT. Raushenbush, who is attached to the Bureau of Industrial Research, New York, has made close study of the situation in the anthracite mine field. He spent five months in the anthracite region during the 1922 strike
