Christmas in the Coal FIELDS

few miles separate the mansions of Pittsbureh's
coal barons and the clapboard shacks that house
thousands of their workers. Yet in many ways they
are worlds apart.

no prospect Of change.
1t Is not easy to realize in this most prosperous of
holiday seasons that the women and children of these
miners do not have enough to eat nor clothes to
tect them from the cold OF winter 1t is difficult for
us in our comfortable homes to picture these gray and
desolate villages of the miners with their imsy bar
racks, cold and uncomfortable with empty cpboards
and even in some instances without coal for heat.

A Difference of Oninion


Is it possible that Agriculture Secretary Jardne
failed to read President Coodges annual message to
Congress
This question arises as result of speech by Jar
dine before the Republican Club of New York. in
which he said in effect that the President did not
know what he was talking about in that part of his
message in which he discussed the relation between
farm prosperity and a high protective tariff
In his message to Congress, President Coolidge
sad ANY material reduction in either (tarif rates on
manufactures or agricultural would be disastrous to
the farmer 1t would mean general shrinkage of
values, dedation Of prices, reduction of wages
general depression carrying our people down to the
low standard of living in our competing countries"
In his New York address Secretary Jardine said:
I have repeatedly pointed out that trustworthy sta
tstics are not available to show the degree to which
the advantages of the tariff to agriculture are offset
by disadvantages due to its direct indirect effect
on the prices of commodities bought by farmers
Opinions are many, at both extremes Of the problem
but convincing evidence is scarce"
The President treated an assured fact the prop
ositon that the present high protective tariff benefits
the farmer and that any lowering of it would breed
agrarian disaster Jardine said nobody knows lust
how the protective tariff affects the farmers
Probably Jardine is right

The Coal Conference

The conference called by Secretary Of Labor Davis
to consider the problems of the bituninous coal in
dustry with particular reference to the strike now
in progress tackled it's job with commendable ZEAL
and has adjourned. Presumably recommendations
will be carried back to operators not present. and to
labor organizations, after which further meetings will
be held. It seems unlikely, however, that much will
be accomplished.
Secretary Davis said at the outset that the trouble
with the industry that there are too many mines
and too many miners, fact that has long been
apparent. The present meeting of operators and
union leaders probably will no be able to find
the solution for this situation than have similar
ferences in the past
Nor does it seem likely that progress can be made
in settling the strike in Pennsylvania Ohio and
northern West Virginia. which is now in its ninth
month and affects some 100000 persons. The larg-
est coal companies in these refused to attend
the conference. They said their mines in opera
tior and that they saw no to treat with the
United Mine Workers, who, they said, were demand
ing wages that made it impossible to mine coal
pro1tably.
The coal barons simply aggravating situa-
ton that eventually must be settled. Their attitude
has already drawn the support of the American Fed
Grafton of labor to the strikers and lends credence
to the charge that there is united attempt on the
part Of large employers to destroy unionis. It is
difficult to understand the unwngness Of the opera

The king knew that his country

enlightenment. There, sheltered
and weary, but still a supreme
artist. Euripides "broke his staff
and drowned his book with play
as beautiful as any, and perhaps
the best of all.
Here in the Bacchae (Bacchantes

dance of Dionysus) Nietzsche and
Pater found what they thought was
Euripides' apology to the gods OF
Greece.
And it would seem so; for with
magic marvellous in seventy years,
the spirit of the wild Dionysian
cult is so sympathetically drama
tized that our first feelings are all
against Penthus, youthful king of
Thebes, who tries puritanically to
put an end to the Bacchanals.
But gradually it appears that it is
not these wild revels which offend

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION
EuribideS THE Woman Halter
Written for The Times BIZ Win Dwamt

And Agave wonders with Eurip-
ides:
Should God be like a proud
man in his rage?"
The last lesson is the same as the
first.
In the same year in which the
"Bacchae" was written Euripides
died. AS in the case of Aeschylus,
legend plays about his death; he
was torn to pieces, one story has it,
by the dogs of rival poets; he was
killed by women, says another, on
the way to an designation. Let us
choose the latter tale, for it is a
great honor to have designations
at seventy-four.
TN the following year his son pro-
duced the "Racchae" at Athens
and it won first prize. The Atheni-
ans repented now of their treat
ment of him; they asked Archelaus
for his remains, but Archelaus re-
fused, and buried the poet with
great pomp.
This insult to Athens intensified
its admiration for Euripides, and
all enemies become admirable when
they ~e dead.
Or. . became unanimous in plac-
ing him above Aeschylus and So
phocles; Plato and Aristotle pre-
ferred him in their quotations from
the dramatists; his plays became for
the Greek and the Roman text
books of tragic art.
He became the idol of young reb-
els and freethinkers; Lucian tells
how the youth of Abdera would
declaim in the streets the famous
odes from the "Andromeda":-
"Love, monarch over gods and
men," and one historian attributes
the release of some Athenians cap
tured in war to the fact that they
had charmed their captors by re-
citing EuripideS.
Philemon, a later dramatist, gave
the finest testimony of all. IF I
were certain that the dead had
consciousness" he said, II would
hang myself to see Euripides."
But it is not certain; let us live.

Spending State Money

As result of very vigorous protest on
the part of the officials Of the Central State
Hospital, the patients of that institution will
not freeze during this cold weather.
The protest was against the coal which was
furnished under a contract made with the
State purchasing board and revealed the fact
that the handling Of that particular contract
was at least peculiar.
The purchasing board was created to COM
bine the purchasing power of the State and to
guard against waste and perhaps ineffciency
and political influence
It rests upon very fine theory, but the
handling ~of the coal contract this year sug
gests that the membership of that body could
be changed without any great loss to the State.
When bids were asked from the men who
sell COAL the specifications and conditions were
such as to insure good coal for the State insti-
tutions
Safeguards against imposition were in
iected The bidders were compelled to name
the mine from which the coal was to be pro-
duced They were bound presumably in the
contract and certainly in their beds, to furnish
duplicate bill of lading so that the State pur-
chasing board and the institution served could
both check as to the amount Of coal and the
quality of coal
On paper the State was apparently securely
protected against either poor coal or short
weight.
But in practice, something else happened.
Poor coal was delivered to the insane hospital.
1t could not be used and for some unexplained
reason the rejected coal was Immediately
shipped to another institution, the one over
which the brother Of Governor jackson is in
control.
At the offices of the State purchasing COM
mittee, it is admitted that the very excellent
provision of duplicate bills of lading had never
been followed and that the State board had no
record of the quality or amount of coal.
That might be bad enough. But the action
of the purchasing board was worse.
Admitting that the contract had been
broken and violated the board proceeded to
nullify it only as to the one institution whose
officers have shown any independence and
courage.
This board permits" the Central hospital
to buy coal that will burn and retains the con-
tract for the other institutions.
Just why the contract should be voided for
one institution and not for all is a mystery. A
business concern in the same situation would
have certainly said that a contractor who had
fallen down on deliveries to one plant was not
to be trusted to deliver to any plant.
And certainly board Of directors that dis
covered purchasing agent who did not en-
force it's contract would take some action.
One of the traditions of this State that
might be proftably set aside is that the politi-
cal manager of successful candidates for Gov
ernor be given the job of State purchasing
agent.
1t is altogether too suggestive.

System in Faulty

Thirty-rine men go to the bot
tom of the sea in broad daylight.
There is no congestion, no bad
weather and no PECULIARLY difficult
paths to excuse the tragedy. The

to suppose that the other was
near at hand. The submarines

her presence or indicate her
presence or indicate her course.
Five minutes before, all was
serene; five minutes afterward, all
was bleak with horror.
The chances are that those two
ships could not have struck each
other with such annihilating di-
rectness if they had tried.
Such disasters belong to a
faulty system, rather than to per-

Sub Rammed; Sinks

With the whole Atlantic Ocean
to play around in, or even such
small part of it as Cape Cod Bay,
it seems as though a submarine
should be sailed low enough to
pass under ships or high enough
to see where they are when out
for no more serious purpose than
to test its machinery.
If such precautions are insult
ficient, it seems as though the
Navy Department would recog-
nize the wisdom of designating
certain areas and times for sub
marine maneuvers on which other
craft would not be allowed to

father has been hurt in an acct

Her parents receive letters, teIe-

being changed every few hours.
Finally meeting is ARRANGED.
The distracted father meets a man
and hands over the money while
his daughter apparently sits in a
nearby automobile. She is asleep
he is told, and will be laid on the
grass little way down the street
when the transaction is completed.
The father waits, as he has been
ordered. When the car speeds
away, he rushes up only to find
the little girl on the grass has
been foully murdered.
