dent Lewis OF the mine workers
delivered an ultimatum to the
operators that was followed
shortly by the order to strike.
Demand Increase.
The miners demands are a dollar
day increase In wages and the In
stitution of the "check-off' system.
The operators had refused to discuss
the wage increase and called the
check-off impossible"
The strike order is effective in Dis
tricts 1, and 9 Of the United Mine
Workers.
$4,000 Miners Affected.
These three districts have. juris-
diction over the sole anthracite region
in this country centering around Luz
zerne, Lackawanna and Schuylkiil
counties In Pennsylvania. About
15S. 900 miners working in S2S mines
controlled by 1876 companies are az
fected.
The operators had held out hope to
the last minute that the miners would
give in. The strike order came as
distinct surprise to them and Major
Inglis. their spokesman said, THE
suspension order is unnecessary. 1t
means that the employees will lose
more than s1,0O0,OO0.0O day IN
wages"
Owners Try 70 Dodge Demands.
The operators had tried to get the
miners to continue at work under
the old agreement. signed two years
ago. until a new contract could be
drawn up. But the scale committee
empowered by the mine workers to
call a strike saw that the operators
had no intention OF listening to their
demands.
The operators charge that the strike
call was in large part due to the
miners "pre-occupation with condi-
lions in the soft coal field" This
refers to the fact that many btu
minous operators have refused to
abide by their agreements. The min
ers do not deny this.
Controversy over Maintenance.
A controversy over mine mainten-
ance during the strike has been set
tied on the basis OF the operators
agreement to keep as many men at
work as are necessary to properly man
the more than three thousand pumps
in the mines during the strike. Those
who work will benefit from the final
adjustment in wages by the consent
OF the operators to make any increas-
es that may be granted retroactive to
September first.
The miners are financially well-fxed |
and are prepared to Withstand a long |
seige. The operators say there is
a three months supply Of anthracite
in store. The soft coal magnates are
claimed to be already moving into the |
hard coal markets and the substitute
companies consider the present strike
a boon for them.
But the miners are in no way fright
ened by these statements. They hap
pen to know that there has been a
great demand for steam sized anthra-
cite and they charge that the profits
Of the anthracite operators are large.
The government at Washington is
trying to present calm face to the
country and act unconcerned over the
stoppage. But the activity of the In
terstate Commerce Commission in Civ
ing right OF way to all grades of
coal on the rails and checking up on
surpluses seems to indicate that OFF,
cial Washington is in no way pleased |
with the prospect of fuel famine.

AS WE SEE 1T
BY 7. J. o'FLAHERTY

DOLAND has an unfavorable trade
1 balance. The government decid-
cd to place an embargo on all i'm
ports. The zloty, the unit of Polish
currency, is depreciating. The white
guard rulers are in panic. The recent
orgy of executions of Communists has
not helped the sterilization of the
country While Poland's trade bal
ance leans the wrong way, Soviet
Russia has different story to tell.
You do not read so much nowadays
about the failure of Communist lead
ership. The industrial and agricultur-
al statistics coming out of Russia defy
the art of capitalist lying.
AN irate reader rises to inquire"
"A in superior sort of way whether
those "who are in the forefront" OF
the revolutionary movement write
what they feel or as they feel, about
the capitalist system and about those
who support that system and bene-
fit by it. This inquiry originated from
an esthetic revolt on the part OF this
Reader against our comment on the
demise of the car of Russia, and the
use of the word fertilizer in de-
scribing the chemical transformation
which took place after the last of the
Romanofs breathed his last.
AN open sewer could not have caus-
n ed our critic more physical dis
comfort than this graphic and scien-
tiic description of the metamorphos-
is of the car from Little Father.
of all the Russias" to a crumbling
mound of clay. which is supplying sus-
tenance to living matter that grows
out Of the earth. That is the function
OF fertilizer, of which there are many
varieties. Most of our proletarian
readers are very well pleased with
the role now being played by the
cars body, and would rejoice ex-
ceedingly if all the other royal para
sites served the same useful purpose.
OUR critic disclaims any pro-czarist
~ sympathies, but judging by his
protest he is either a reactionary or
q befuddled sentimentalist. AS to
writing how one feels, it can be said
that only those writer's who put what
is usually called soul" into their work
are worth reading, Class conscious
proletarian writer's are not squeamish
about applying epithets to the robber
class. They know, being proletarians
themselves, that the masses will not
suffer any mental agony in seeing the
rod of castigation applied to the poll
teal hides of their foes.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Time for Extreme Caution.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


Only a. short time ago the average
price OF corporation bonds made a
new high since 1917. The low level
was reached in May, 1920, since which
time, with minor reactions, there has
been steady advance. A variety of
causes have contributed to the i'm
Provement, chief among which is the
super abundance of capital seeking
employment in the United States.
Investors who bought bonds three
or four years ago now find that their
holdings have appreciated very sub
stantially in market valuation and
many of them are tempted to sell, TAX
ing the apparent profit and reinvesting
In something else In which they hope
they may repeat their success. 1t is
invariably phenomenon of the bond
market when prices go as high as they
are today that their is a continuous
exchanging of one security for an
other with this same idea in mind.
Now this is all proper enough and
often prozes profitable, but it involves
some danger. In most cases when an
investor sells to realize profit on a
high grade security he substitutes for
1t something less secure and so weak
ems his position. Unless he exercises
more than the usual self-restraint he
will shortly find himself with a semi
speculative list. He may pay for his
new securities only approximately the
same prices ne paid for those he
originally bought, but meanwhile the
advance in the market has carried UP
with it the semi-speculative as well as
the investment bonds and the risk is
much greater now than it was three
prvfour years ago.
There Is, of course, a counter bal
ancing factor of business improve
ment, and a generally brighter indus
trial outlook. Nevertheless more risk
obtains on Z per cent return today
than it did three or four years ago
when money conditions were far diff
ferent from what they are now. 1t
follows then that changes in the
character of ones investment should
be made only with extreme caution at
times when prices are as high as they
are now.

ON BOARD
To AID FRAT
FIGHT
Peyser and Greenwood to File
Separate Answers to Suit
for Injunction

The fraternity suit will have the
support Of two members Of the
Board of Education when it gets
into court, it was indicated today.
Captain Julius /. Peyser and
Ernest Greenwood will decline to
join with other board members and
will file separate answers to the
proposed petition-w which Sigma Delta
/ fraternity will make for an injunc-
ton to restrain the Board Of Edu-
cation from enforcing the anti-fra-
ternity ruling of the school board.
Captain Peyser and Greenwood
have contended since the frat" row
began that the Board of Education
has no legal right to bar fraternity
members from scholastic honors.
The legal opinion of Captain Peyser
is that the ruling transgresses the
constitutional guaranty of the right
of peaceful assembly.
The Board of Education will con
slider a report of the committee of
the whole at the board meeting next
Wednesday on the executive confer
ence which adjourned without con-
sidering the fraternity question as
intended following the threat of
Captain Peyser to make the pro-
ceedings public.
Captain Peyser said today he is
doubtful If he will make an issue
of the fraternity question at
Wednesdays meeting. inasmuch as
he believes it is useless to try to
obtain satisfactory board action.

District School Head Stresses
Civic Value Of Public
Education

BOSTON, April 1.-THE educa.
ton of the child to be effective
must look to the future. Superdn-
tendent Frank w. Ballou, of the
Washington, d. c.. public schools,
today told members Of the Massa-
chusetts Schoolmasters' Club, in
an address today.
To-day the value Of education
must be stated in terms Of citi-
zenship. in terms of service which
the individual may render to the
community, in terms of fitting the
individual to perform some part
of the worlds work that needs to
be done, In terms of preparing
the individual to assume fully his
responsibility as a citizen, toward
his church, his school, his conn
n1unity, his state, the nation and
the world" Doctor BaIlou declared.
That public education is a public
concern is a fundamental principle
in American education, according
to superintendent Ballou, who sug-
gested that the curriculum in tns
grades and high schools should be
selected with a view to the child's
needs.
