The Coal Industry

1t is generally agreed that the soft coal industry
is over mined and over-manned There are too many
miners and too many mines. In other words the
soft coal industry is not organized.
There has been between union and non-union
miners and war between union and non-union mines
There has been destructive competition disastrous
not only to miners and operators, but to the con-
Stunning public we'll.
Competition is always The way to peace lies
in cooperation; and cooperation can come only
through organization. The policy of many operators
has been to make all efforts to organize the
miners, although there has been little or no oppo-
sition on the part of union miners toward organza-
ton of operators.
In fact, far-seeihg union leaders would welcome
complete organization of the coal industry
organization of operators as we'll as complete or
ganization of miners.
For years coal operators in Ohio Illinois Indiana
and in western Pennsylvania tried to cooperate
with union labor, but thrown into competition
In the coal market with non-unon mined coal from
West Virginia and southern States This war between
operators the matter of union labor was dsas-
trous to everybody concerned
1t is an economic fact, however, that the coal in
dustry can be organized to make certain decent
wages and an American standard of living for the
miners, reasonable profit for the operators, and
fair price for coal for the consuming public
Neither the army of the miners, nor that of the
operators destroy the other 1t isn't desirable
that either be destroyed crippled.
1t is not only desirable that both miners and
operators be thoroughly organized but is necessary
that peaceful cooperation may take the place of de-
structive competition.
The lesson everywhere in industry is that organ
ization is the orderly route to fair wages low pro-
duction cost, reasonable consumer price and cooper
alton and peace, rather than disorganization and
costly war.

duction and greed among competitors continuing
without check and without control
According to the Federal oil conservation board
two-thrds of oil supply already is gone The
rest may last another five six years, maybe a
little more, maybe a little less. Then what We
going to do? Even if the national defense can con-
tinue to function-hanks to reserves saved only after
a national scandal-an oil famine, oil and gas at
prohbitiVe prices, would simply play havoc with
entire national life. Millions would be thrown out
of work and Millions of others would suffer serious loss
This is an oil age. Other nations know it and are
acting accordingly. Only the United States appears
indifferent For years Britain has been busy locating
and corking up oil supply for future use while
obtaining her current needs mostly from our part
of the world.
While oil is cheap and plentiful, Britain will
ingly lets throw into glutted market. She
smiles up her sleeve cut our own Threats to
supply 70 per cent of the total present world require
ments.
At that rate, our reserves soon will be gone. Then
Britain, France and other far-seeing nations will
have the rest Of the Notwithstanding the United
States-by the tail. They can charge what they
please for such oil and gas they choose to let us
have. And, by regulating the supply-as Britain
regulated the rubber supply for our autos-the day
may come, and soon, when hardly can call our
economic life our own.
The State Department has been prompt to convey
to the French government its concern lest the French
monopoly reduce the sale of American oil in France.
Is that our Governments only concern?
France merely is looking out for her future Just as
We ought to be looking out for ours.

Now Let the Council Get Busy

A committee Of architects, after thorough
survey of city hospital needs yesterday rec
commended that $1,5OO,OOO be expended at the
institution for new buildings and power
plant.
For months there has existed deplorable
situation at the hospital, wards damned with
patients double the number for which they
were built, other patients in the basement, and
virtually no provision for contagious cases.
Lack of room has forced treatment of hun
dreds in their home by the hospitals tout
patient" plan Crowded conditions have
made it necessary to place children suffering
from diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, and
other ailments in the same ward, instead Of
segregating them according to diseases. The
old hospital structure, condemned by the tire
marshal, has been constant menace to safety
of patients and staff. The power plant is
noble example Of senile decrepitude.
Now the architects have recommended ac-
ton. The Chamber of Commerce some time
AFRO recommended expenditure OF approx
mately 100000 at the hospital. DR.. W. A,
Doeppers, superintendent, and his assistants
have sought relief from present conditions Tor
months Many others who have studied con-
ditions at the institution firmly are convinced
that steps must be taken at once for extension
Of facilities and accommodations.
Only the city council has remained blind
and deaf in the emergency By shelving the
$1,7OO00O bond issue, once approved and then
knocked out, councilmen have held up all ac-
ton looking toward expansion.
The time is here for the council to act. Let
the gentlemen who make up this august body
take time off from their political maneuverlng
and their cunning little game of button, but
ton, who Is mayor now? and do some conStruc-
tive work.
Here is a real public service which they
can accomplish Past performances do not
Give rise to much optimism on the part OF
friends of the hospital, but while there IS LIE
even with councilmen part Of the scheme
of this life-there is hope.

A Time of Inspiration
by BRUCE CATION

One of the duties of poet is to phrase great
truths SO they will stick in our minds.
Unfortunately, the poet sometimes does this SC
we'll that his phrase is repeated too often. Then ii
becomes hackneyed jingle, and we are prone to
smile in superior way when we hear it.
Such phrase, for example, is the familiar quo
tation Lives of great men oft remind can
make lives sublime" That has been repeated toe
often; its repetition brings to mind school children
earnestly reciting it visitors day" 1t smackS
of the copy book, trite and platitudnous.
Yet is expresses a truth. One of the best ways
you can spend your time is in reading biographies
of great men.
This is a presidential year. One Of the ways
the voter can prepare for it is by reading the lives
of the leading candidates Doing that will not only
help him to cast his vote inteigenty; it will prove
interesting task he could find for the long
winter evenings.
1t is encouraging, for example, to read of Dawes
the pennileSs attorney in small western CITY, fight
ing his way to the top; of Hoover working his way
through college and toling with pick and shovel
in gold mine after graduation; of Smith, born in
tenement over barber shop, quitting school at fif-
teen to help support his family, rising to become his
eXcellency, the Governor of New York.
There are great many ambitious young men in
this country, but many of them get discouraged toe
easily. Il want to get ahead, but there's future
in this ob'-havent you heard that again and again?
The fact Of the matter is-as reading of biogra-
phes shows-that any job can "have a future" il
the man filling it so wills it.
George Bernard Shaw for instance. started in
life as an employe of London telephone company
Probably he had occasional doubt that there was
any chance for advancement in his job. Al Smith
at the end of his first term in the New York Legisla-
ture wanted to quit politics altogether; he was con-
vinced he never could get anywhere" that way
Henry Ford when he earning his living as night
man in power house, must have wondered if he
hadn't been side-tracked.
All Of this is perfectly obvious of course But it
is easy to forget it; easy to give way dscour
agement, to feel that all the avenues of advance
ment have been closed.
Each mans opportunity lies within himself That
is lesson everyone learns but many forget If you
happen to be of those who have forgotten go to
the library and draw out few biographies. They'll
do you good.

France, Oil and the U. S.

Pro1ting by the lesson learned during the World
War that unfailing supply of fuel particularly
petroleum is vital to every nations security France
is planning to play safe in this respect by creating
a government Uncontrolled oil monopoly.
American oil interests doing business i'll France
naturally are perturbed. They are bound to suffer
to some extent though how much remains to be
SEEM and the State Department is making its concern
known to Paris. But what can be done about it is
rather difficult to see, for short of contlscatory
internationally discriminatory acts-which GER
tainly not Observation-Disclosures is acting not only
within her rights but well within the bounds of her
national duty.
In fact, every important nation in the world save
is doing in way another, exactly what
France is doing. All are protecting their future
sources of OIL The United States stands alone among
the world powers watching its fast dwndling supply
of petroleum go without making any comprehensive
effort TO stave off the catastrophe.
No nation earth is dependent upon oil as
is ours, Tor none is so motorized Yet waste in pro-

Six Months In Jail

Harry F.. Sinclair has been sentenced to six months
il, a common Jail for contempt of court 1t happens
thus:
Sinclair and the Cabinet Office with whom he had
conniyed corruptly to steal some millions OF naval
oil lands we're on trial charged with criminal con-
snracy In the midst of the trial it was discovered
that Sinclair had hired the Burns detective agency
to shadow members of the jury
The detectives proceeded to trail the jurors, fol-
lowing them from the courthouse at the end OF each
davis session and keeping them under observation
as far as possible until they tucked themselves into
bed at night.
Confronted with the charge that this was being
done, Sinclair demanded to know, in effect, What
of it," Didn't he have right to spy on the jurors?
Now that question never would have occurred to
most of us. 1t never would have occurred TO u.s. IN
the first place. to hire set of spies to shadow jury
It certainly never would have occurred to us that
we had right to do so.
But we are not Harry Sinclair. We aren't the
possessors Of fifty hundred million dollars-or
whatever total his wealth now has reached. Our
lives have not included the brbing OF Cabinet officers
and so espionage over jurors would seem serious
matter to us. We-most of us, thank God-haven't
the Sinclair view Of life.
The Sinclair view has been that he and his money
we're beyond the reach of the law. Not only was
he too rich for the law, but he was too smart When
the prosecution of the criminal conspiracy case grew
too warm for comfort he invested the necessary sum
in the Burns agency and brought about mistral.
Contempt of courtP Well whoever said he had any
respect for the courts?
But now the court says it is six months in jail
for Harry Sinclair. That doesn't mean that tomor
row will see him behind the oathsome bars He still
has money aplenty and lawyers apenty and there will
be appeals aplenty to higher courts. But there is
an end to that trail eventually.
Harry Sinclair is on his way to jail.
Somehow it sounds like justice

A 31-Year Fast

Naturalists throughout the coun-
try doubt the report from Eastland,
Texas, that a horned toad came to
life after being removed from be-
meath the corner stone Of court
house, where it had lain for thirty
one years.
You cannot blame them for be-
ing skeptical, but what are you go
ing to do when four reputable
citizens stand up and aver that
they saw the phenomenon with their
own eyes.
The county judge, the superin-
tendent Of construction, an employee
who actually lifted the toad from
its dust covered bed agree as to the
facts.
They say that the toad was there
when the stone was removed, that
the stone had not been tempered
with and that no one could have
put the toad there by trickery.
Such eminent authorities as Will
liam M. Mann director of the Ma
tional Geological Park and Ray
mond Ditmars, curator Of the New
York zoo, are equally positive that
the thing is impossible.

Doctrine of Might

One does not have to worry over
the success of the Havana con-
ference to understand the object of
this continuous French harping on
American imperialism
Neither does one have to defend
our Nicaraguan policy in order to
realize the inconsistency of the
French attitude.
Putting the worst possible con-
struction on it, our marines have a
better right to be in Nicaragua than
French troops have to be in
Morocco or Syria, and they are
there for better object.
The worst that can be said Of
American imperialism is that it
represents mistaken kindness.
The best that can be said for
French imperialism is that it rests
on the simple plan that he should
take who hath the power and he
should keep who can"
If our imperialism we're like that
of France, we would be owning,
governing and exploiting everything
from Alaska to Cape Horn.
