New Coal Strike Threat.

Further evidence Of the unsound
condition of the coal mining industry
is found in the latest threat OF A
strike in the bituminous field. An Of
fetal communication has gone for
ward from headquarters of the United
Mine Workers TO Secretary Of Com
merce Hoover and Secretary of Labor
Davis asking for Government inter
vention in the northern West Vir-
Sinia field where conditions are pic
tured as verging upon anarchy.
According to representations TO the
cabinet officers, the West Virginia
mine owners are seeking to abrogate
the Jacksonville agreement and force
, reduction in wages, and it is
charged that miners are being eyicted
from company houses and intimidated
by terroristic methods. The commu-
nication adds: The miners do not
propose 10 have their wage agree
ments broken down by this method
of guerrilla warfare on the part of
the northern West Virginia operators.
and unless something is done to pre-
vent this abrogation of wage agree
ments it will be necessary for the
miners OF the entire State of West
Virginia to join with the United Mine
Workers of America of the rest of
the country in a general strike
West Virginia has long been and
continues TO be about the sorest spot
in the coal mining industry. Some of
the West Virginia districts are non
union and others are unionized. Eff
forts to unionize the non-union dis
tricts have caused frequent turmoil
and not infrequent bloodshed. 1t re-
calls Lincoln's dictum that the coun-
try could not continue half slave and
half free. 1t seems impossible that
the West Virginia coal fields can
continue half unionized and half non
union.
The reasons are obvious. The non
union miners work for lower wages
and the owners of non-union mines
get the business. Their mines are
kept in relatively steady operation
wages, receive larger monthly pay
checks. The unioniZed mines, because
they cannot compete in price with
their non-union competitors, are idle
a large part of the time and higher
union wages are of little benefit when
opportunity 10 earn the wages is
lacking.
Apparently it is through desire to
place themselves on an equal footing
in the market that the northern West
Virginia mine owners are seeking to
reduce wages. If the miners would
accept the proposed reductions it is
probable they would have more work
and at the end of the month would
have larger earnings. But only for
q time. Abrogation of the Jackson
vile scale in West Virginia would in
svitably be followed by efforts to abb
rogate it in Ohio and Indiana and
Illinois and elsewhere in the central
competitive district, and If these ef-
forts succeeded no one would have
much more work than he has now,
for there is a market for only given
amount of coal.
The whole trouble arises from over
development of the bituminous coal
industry. There are too many mines
and too many miners. and until some
genius arises with ability to solve this
apparently insoluble problem there
are likely to be continuing difficult
ties-with the coal-consuming public
the ultimate victim.

BY FRANK Fl. SIMONDS.

The arrival in this country of
Count Alexander Skrzynski, foreign
minister Of Poland, who will be one
of the principal speakers at the VIII
liamstoWn conference, serves as an
excellent opportunity for an Ameri-
can estimate of what has been accom-
plished in Poland in recent years. On
the whole, one can say quite accurate
ly that, given its almost insuperable
obstacles, no country has made great
er progress toward normal national
life since the war than the country
which was recalled to independence
after more than century of servi-
tude to three foreign countries
Less than five years ago the boil
shevist masses were almost at the
gates of Warsaw and the sound of
their cannon could be plainly heard
in the palaces of the prime minister
When by supreme effort. remin1s-
cent of that of France at the Marine,
the Poles defeated the Soviet army.
there was at last the first opportunity
to begin the creation of country
which had been the battle-ground of
the World War in the east. the scene
of devastating bolshevist inva sion,
and now to construct a national ma
chine out of nothing.
What Poland Has Done.
Today Poland has done these
things: 1t has balanced its budget,
stabilized its exchange, funded its
American debt and begun payment.
It has reconstructed Its railways to
create a national network and unite
the three distinct systems of the
Russians, Austrians and Germans,
systems which were naturally con-
structed without regard to any Polish
Tt 1oc Or n "a
an appea sement of its domestic polit-
ical strife, which has enabled 1t to
enjoy a single ministry for more than
two wears under the skillful direction
of M Grabski, who must take rank
as one of the great postwar premiers
of Europe
Having defeated the bolshevists, it
has consolidated its eastern boun-
daries by the treaty of Riga, which.
while resigning vast areas which
were anciently Polish, has insured the
new republic an area only little in
ferior to Germany. With Rumania
II has made an alliance to meet the
eyer-present menace of Russian
attack.
With Czechoslovakia 1t has settled
the thorny dispute over Teschen and
the recent visit of NJ. Benes, the Czech
foreign minister, to Warsaw was
marked by the signing of Az i'm
portant commercial treaty and by the
final proof of the necessary reconcilia-
ton between two Slav nations with
many common dangers and every rea-
son for friendly cooperation.
Test OF Polish Courage.
A bad crop last year at the moment
on stabilization, the universal depres-
sion in the coal trade, various other
abnormal causes of unemployment and
high cost of living have combined to
make the past months a severe test
of Polish courage and endurance, but
now there is every prospect of a
bumper crop and of returning pros
perity. Poland, too, has every es-
sential for prosperity, great agricul-
tural resources, rich oil fields, large
coal deposits and a highly Industrial
lied area both in Upper Silesia and
in the Lodz district, which has been
correctly described as the Manchester
of Eastern Europe.

If Gov. Ritchie of Maryland Jumps
into the senatorial race against Sena-
tor Weller, or whoever the Republi-
cans may nominate, he is very likely
to win the prize. The governor is
strong in Maryland, and the Republic
ans are today not little divided.
Gov Ritchie, in his address to the
governors conference In Maine re-
Gently, attacking further centraliza-
ton of the Government in Washing
ton, struck popular note. If Rep
resentative John Philip Hill should
win the Republican nomination he
could make comparatively little of his
stand against prohibition, since it is
known that Gov. Ritchie, although for
law enforcement, does not sympathize
with the prohibition law.
While Gov. Richie is making a plea
for greater responsibility OF the States,

Federal Government reach out further

OF Brown County as suspect in con-
nectlon with the murder of Will
liam Edwards, forty-six year. old
Northwestern brakeman, who was
shot down and killed in the telegraph
office OF the Northwestern station at
New Ulm early Monday morning, be-
cause he refused to answer a two gun

The suspect, who answers to the
name of John Smith and gives his
trade as that of painter, hung
around the New Ulm railroad sta
ton on Thursday. Friday and Sat-
urday previous to the murder it is
said by officers. Sunday he disap-
peared and Monday morning he was
found at Sanborn, west of New Ulm.
He was taken to a hotel there and
late yesterday Sheriff William Julius
of Brown county placed him under
arrest and brought him to New Uum.
No further arrests have been made
made in the case and the third day
of the manhunt continues without
startling developments. Sheriff Ju-
Illus does not believe that the stran-
ger under arrest is the killer, who
shot Edwards, brutally kicked him
while he was dying and escaped af-

fore the crime is strange and investi-
