SOME RAILROAD CHANGES

Many 'rumors are prevalent, espec-
tally among the R. R. boys regard
the B. & 0. taking over the Western
Maryland, but it has been the custom
since the days of Abraham that the

how things are to be worked long be-
fore it is definitely settled there is
to be any change. Oftimes the much
talked of project never does material
ize. It is like our troubles, the ones
that never occur give us the most
worry. We were told by Mr.. Willard
President of B. & o. thru the press
trackage rights over part of the Lire
and possibly an adjustment of cono-
tons at Terminals, Evidently Being

of passenger crews thru to Elkins and

COAL STRIKE
SEEMS IMMINENT
There Are Too Many Mines And Too
Many Miners In the Industry.
100000 Surplus

The labor situation in this country
is such that there are too many idle
men, and too many who do not work
long enough for the money they re-
ceiye, hence the following striking
article from any exchange:
y A strike in the bituminous coal
mines on April LIST seems certain and
we are wondering how many more the
Public will tolerate before invoking
Federal aid in fixing a fair wage and
prices for selling the coal produced.
Three months ago coal sold for $500
per ton; today it is selling for SIPS
per ton despite the half million tons
being placed in storage every day in
anticipation of the strike. Such wide
fluctation is disturbing and stabilza-
ton is necessary. Arranging a salts
factory mining wage scale is difficult
for some seams are thick and easily
mined while others are thinner and
contain impurities that make mining
difficult. When paid "by the ton" one
miner can earn twice as much as "a
mother and it follows that if ebay
work" rates where adopted some
mine owners. would get their coal
mined for hilf the cost of their COM
petitors. The United Mine Workers
attempt to establish the industry by
piece work prices arranged so that
the cost of producing coal is nearly
the same in each Field and all Fields
arc relative, but these prices are
fixed high enough to assure all min
ers living wage under adverse con-
ditions. This scheme of wage fixed
has broken down, for only 80 per
cent of the coal mined is by union
men working under the Jacksonville
Scale. Miners employed where large
earnings are possible are contribut-
ing more than their share to estab-
ilization and this fact is not appre-
ciated by the Public. To regain its
lost prestige the United Mine Worv-
ers may have to base its wage scale
Upon average earning power of its
members rather than upon the Lowest,
or perhaps base wages pom effort ex-
pended (dday work) rather than upon
results accomplished (piece work.; IN
either event the high cost mine will
suspend operation and the 100000
surplus workers will find employment
IN other industries When this comes
We will be nearer sterilization"

VETERANS BUREAU GETS BOOST

Washingtonc, March 5.-Twenty-
five million dollars have been added
to the appropriation for the U. S.
Veterans Bureau for the new fiscal
year, total of four hundred and sew
enty three millions. In addition there
there is an allowance for the fiscal
year of eighs millions of dollars for
insurance and vocational education.
The Veterans item is one the size of
which does not worry the public. It
may be that we are not raising to our
feet so promptly at the playing of
the notional anthem or otherwise
demonstrating our emotions over pa
triotic events or incidents but the
feeling of obligation to those who
went over seas is one of the funda-
mentals which is growing daily in our
hearts.

LONG

The health of our people is fairly
good. We are having rain again
after few days Of winter.
We learn that Charleston has man
aged to burn the wooden state CAPT
toll building, together with all of the
records. Some may say the new cap
itol building will be so strong and
irony that they can't burn that just
wait till it is completed and a year or
two of records placed in the vaults,
you will see if fire wont raise it, dy-
Mantle will. So the best plan would
be to enjoin and stop the construction
of the new capitol building and re-
locate it where there is less dirt. o,
some may say, the dirt will follow to
the new location. Well, just shove
the dirt out Of the way. Let US have
a house cleaning. IRA SHOCKEY.

OTHER EXASPERATED

Taking cogizance of disputes be-
tween Huntington industries and gas
corporations involving matters OF
rates and service, the Wheeling In
telligencer says editorially:
Instead of honest rates and ser
vice, they try by legal tricks to COM
pei West Virginia industries to pay
high rates for West Virginia gas SO
that they may have unlimited guam
Titles of this states gas to sell al
high rates in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
ether places without our borders
They even refuse to give West Vir-
GINA industry the benefit of the best
rate here, and seek to wear down any
industry that demands it by their ira
ditional and despicable methods Of
long drawn-out litigation"
After reciting recent editorial COM
ment of the Advertiser relative to
the resisted petition of the Hunting
ton Brick & Tile Company for the
service of the United Fuel Gas Com
rany, the Intelligencer concludes:
"The northern part of West Vir-
ginia can we'll sympathize with the
Huntington industries in this matter
and, while the instance is very I'M
fortunate, it may awaken all the
people of the state to the danger in
the walpractices of the so-called pub
lie service corporations, by which the
people of this section have been
heavily and consistently victimized for
years. Cheap gas, although there is
still an abundance of it in West Vir-
ginia, is no more an argument for
those trying to expand our industries
and start new ones. The gas COM
panies only wish to give minimum
Service here, so that they may sell
the West Virginia product for even
fancier prices at places far without
our borders.
"This badger game has been played
not only in Huntington and Wheeling
but every place in which the gas uti-
lities have had chance to make a
greater profit, regardless Of the ethi-
cal obligations that obtain in most
commercial affairs. West Virginia is
not regarded by these utilities as a
commonwealth. 1t is regarded as a
commonwealth. 1t is regarded as a
big, rich, but defenseless object of
exploitation. The case in Hunting
ton is a clear example of the gas
company cynical rule-give West
Virginia little of its own gas as
possible at extortionate rates; give
outsiders as much as they want.
Perhaps, some day we will have a
legislature competent and courageous
enough to deal with this situation.

West virginia's natural wealth and
its peoples industries"

THE FEARFUL CURSE

The most startling statement epor
published of the economic cost Of
criminality is the article in the Man
ufacturer's Record, of February oath,
by Mark o. Prentiss. Thirteen bill
lion dollars a year is the estimate
given by MIR. Prentiss as the direct
or indirect cost OF crime to the coun-
try simply from the economic point
of view. Taking other itews into the
calculation, Mr.. Prentiss estimates
that crime is producing an average
annual loss Of over $4,000, 900, 900,
or more than the total value of the
combined agricultural products of the
United States in 1926.
This fearful situation demands the
immediate attention of every man
and woman in the country. For all
must help to bear this burden, it rests
upon every single soul. Every year
we are losing by crime, according to
Mr.. Prentiss' estimates, about % per
cent more than the total loans that
we made to the Allies during the war
Never, we believe, has any paper in
America published a statement so
fraught WITH tremendous consequent
ces for the present and the future as
is there presented, enumerating in de-
detail the economic losses due to
crime.
Well did Chief Justice Taft, when
President Of the United States, say:
"The administration of criminal JUS
tice in the United States is disgrace
to civilization"
