The Soft Coal Ulcer
CFrOm the New York Tribune).

The preliminary report OF the
United States Coal Commission Is
tentative on many points. But It
goes straight to the root OF the
economic trouble with the soft coal
industry when II says that there
are too many mines and too many
miners. This fact has been appar-
ent for years. The miners restrict
ed working week testifies to t..
And the war proved It by showing
that the peace-time labor supply
was adequate to lift production to
an emergency level.
I 1921. when there were no
strikes. the bituminous mines oper-
ated only IL days out Of the year.
In 1890 they had operated 213 days
out OF the year. The burden OF
overmanning thrown on the public
Is steadily increasing. 1T may be
we'll measured" the commission
says, 'Fby the cost OF keeping in the
industry an excess OF perhaps 2OO.-
600 miners and their families and
the excess investment in mines"
Strikes under such conditions are
boon to both employers and
workers. They help TO keep wages
and prices high and TO prevent over
production. II the miners stayed at

USED WIDOWS MITE

PORT HURON, Mich, Jan. IT,

widow, a former parishoner, to fl
nance his operations, the Rev. Ro-
land Crouch. Free Methodist Preach
er, was remanded TO Jail today to
await sentence.
He was charged, not with prohibit
ton violation, but with carrying con-
cealed weapons. other charges I'M
der the prohibition law may be
made, however, It was announced.
He pleaded guilty to gun-carrying
and made a full confession OF his
rum-running activity.
Crouch said he had filled pulpits
in several Michigan cities. He con-
.fessed that he bought a large guam

dealer, transporting it to Canada

work all year-even on a short
week basis-they would turn out
500 600, 900 tons. or 100000, 900
more than the domestic and foreign
markets have ever been able to
absorb.
Here is the deep, underlying evil
which has TO be corrected and which
both workers and owners are averse
to correcting. Transportation facili-
ties are adequate. the commission
believes. If they were increased the
problem Of over reproduction and in
termittent employment would only
be aggravated.
Conditions in the soft coal indus
try are a menace to the public in
terest because they artifcially and
needlessly increase the price Of an
article of prime necessity. Reform
from within is unpromislng because
1t Is bitterly antagonized by the
miners unions and is only half
heartedly desired by the operators.
The pressure for It must come from
without. Soft coal mining must be
reorganized not because that would
be to the immediate and direct ad-
vantage OF those engaged in It but
because the whole country IS being
penalized by the wretched economic
conduct of this key industry.

Ameyicanism Needed
in American Colleges
tFrom the National Republican,

verslties teaches from the text
books of pronounced free traders
and internationalists. Perhaps many
of these instructors are compelled
to so teach, because they are in
fiuenced by some wealthy philan-
thropist, who has what might be
called the international bug" 1t 1:
amazing how powerful an endow-
ment may be on the thought and
teaching OF some instructors, not to
say of some high and learned pro-
/ fessors.
Nor is It difficult to teach I'M
American doctrines and traditions,
when so many of our modern text
books and histories are rewritten
with all historic heroes and heroic
events. either emssculated or omit
ted altogether. Foreign lecturers
are getting into our colleges and
universities, telling the students how
far behind America is. and how
mistaken all the writer's of Ameri-
can history have been throughout
these many years.
Not a few of the products OF
these theoretical teachers and in
structors are established in the gov
eminent departments, promoting
their un-American ideas and princi-
pies. Thus the deeds of the col
lege and university instructors live
on after them, to plague the coun-
try.
At a recent debate on tho ques-
ton OF protection or free trade at
Harrisburg, Pa, the only address
10 receive favorable comment was
from a Princeton College professor.
He talked straight free trade and
the doctrine that each country
should do only what It can do most
economically and advantageously.
Under this ancient free trade dogma
the United States would today be
purely an agricultural nation.
Why not establish a chair OF pro-
teotlon and American patriotism in
every college and university in the
land?

street, Pittsburgh, Pa. in a recent
interview with the Plant Juice Man.
about a year ago I began to suf-
fer from pains across my back and
through my stomach and finally my
stomach got so bad that I could
hardly eat anything at all. I could
not work for days at time because
of awful pains in my stomach and
the only way I could get relief was
by having strong dope injected into
my arm. No one knows how I suf-
fered and it was terrible to think
that the only way could get relief
was by having an injection of DOPE
which would wear off after a few
hours so that the pains would re-
turn.
I'm just short time, Plant Juice
gave me more relief from those
pains than ever expected to get. I
am now able to eat foods that 1
honestly believe would have caused
my death if L had eaten them be-
fore 1 took Plant Juice but the
most wonderful thing OF all is that
have not had to use one bit Of
dope since started taking this
medicine. I also found that as
laxative there is nothing better than
Plant Juice and want to say to ell
sick people that II you want to get
back your health, just take Plant
Juice"

FIRE ALARM BOXES
ON HOSPITAL CORNERS

The Department Of Public Safety.
yesterday afternoon, ordered the
placing of fire alarm boxes at the
corners nearest TO the Homeopathic
and the Physicias' and Surgeons
Hospitals. At this time a box is
located one square from each hos
pital, but the directors thought
there was a greater need for them
closer to the hospitals. At Eighth
land Adams streets It was pointed
out the box would also serve in the
event of a fire breaking out in the
school building at that corner.
Chief Lutz. OF the Bureau of Fire,
exhibited to the directors p1doto-
graphs taken OF a recent fire. in
which the IRE hazards were very
noticeable. He informed the direc-
tors that he had given orders to
the companies that in any fire in
which there was reason for suspect
ing that the building had been set
on fire, member of the Bureau OF
Fire should be left in charge until
the arrival OF officers to investigate.
