SOVIET EXPORT
OF COAL SHOWS
HUGE INCREASE
Don Anthracite Used
Turnout World

MOSCOW, USSR., Sept. 10. -
According to information of the
Trust "Donugol" the export of the
Don anthracite abroad greatly in
creased lately. Thus its export to
France for the period of seven
months Of current operative year
(October-ApriD was 20 per cent
higher than English import on an
thracite to France. The selling of
Soviet anthracite in France is real
lied on monopolist basis according
to the contract of "Donugol" with
one French firm. AS it is reported
from "Donugol" the demand for the
Soviet anthracite in France not
withstanding its great import sur
passes the supply.
In Italy where "Donugol" is act
ing about three years, the Don an
thracite is also in a great demand.
In Greece and Turkey the Don
anthracite is purchased mostly for
filling the ships bunkers.
Lately inquiries came for the
Soviet anthracite from Switzerland,
Denmark, Argentine, Canada and
other countries.
The works which are at present
carried out in the Don basin for
construction of sorting and coal
breaking machines will allow to is
sue a better kind of anthracite on
the export market.

The Rec0iL of Cruelty
BY BRUCE CATION

There are terrible possibilities Of hatred and fury
in the human sou
writer in the current Atlantic Monthly, deScrib-
ing the last days of Gar Nicholas of Russia, pre-
sentS picture of cruelty and vengefuness that makes
the heart sick He tells how Nicholas and the twelve
members of his retinue-hiS wife, children and four
faithful retainers-were imprisoned in house at
Ekaterinburg and subjected to crueties OF the most
refined nature for many weeks how at last they were
led at midnight small cellar and there shot down
by soldiers with automatic pistols how, afterward
their bodies taken to dense forest and burned
III a deep pit.
His article does not make nice reading 1t is
horrifyng to think that such things happen. Yet
it inevitable the tragic events that eliminated
in the cellar at Ekaterinburg were terminating ever
since that August day in 1914, when Russia went to
with Germany and Austria.
Indeed they had their genesis long before that
three centuries before The Romanoffs had piled up
a terrible score. Cruelty and tyranny charge nation
with explosives The World War merely applied the
spark
Lucklcss Car Nicholas least reprehensibe of all
the czars happened to be the man to whom the
bill presented 1t is idle to deplore the price that
the Bolsheyiki exacted. 1t fated.
For repression and high handed autocracy have
way Of bringing about their own downfall Sooner
later there is the inevitable overturn Restraint
and fairness not be expected when a nation eX-

Since the death Of Nicholas Russia has not been

worth earnest study. There is lesson in it for
We trust it would not be impertnent for someone
to call this lesson to the attention Of let say
of these Pennsylvania soft coal operators who are
evicting miners from their houses in the dead of
winter and hiring armed plug uglies to shoot them
That method of handling a labor dispute is not
American; il is Russian
The American way-of negotiation, Cancellation,
forbearance-may be slower it may at times be less
decisive But it has far better after effects. The
Russian method is dangerous: dangerous to no one
more than to the person or class that applies it,

Such Language!

James Joyce author of that monumental volume
of gibbersh ulysses has evolved what he is pleased
to call new vocabulary. He has employed dozen
languages to supply what supposed to be words
and the result is amazing.
Listen: "a fink dab was frankly at the manuel
airth which was bekase he knowed from his
cradle no boy better whatfor to fife with"
Presumably Joyce is seeking a new medium of
expression, like the writer's of free verse and the i'm
presSionStic painters. His effort is interestng-per-
haps even praiseworthy-but quite useless Language
isn't manufactured. 1t grows.

To End Unemployment

William Green, president of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor in speech at Detroit, recommended as
an immediate remedy for the unemployment situa-
ton the passage of legislation providing for the
penditure of Government funds in public improve
nents.
"If Congress would pass the flood control BILL the
Army housing naval construction and general hous-
ing legislation and make the appropriations for this
work available at once present problem Of I'M
employment would be solved quickly" said Green.
Federal expenditures, he added, could be supple
mented by States and municipalities planning public
improvements.
Green's position is sound. New York State has
taken the lead in arranging for the immediate be-
ginning of a large construction program Several
resolutions pending in Congress seek to commit the
Federal Government to the policy.
Labor Secretary Davis remarked in a recent
speech that we have an unemployment problem, and
that there is no use blinking at the fact He said
as have others who have studied the situation, that
this condition exists despite the fact that the country
as whole is generally prosperous.
Time will be required to adjust the situation
brought about by the displacement of men by ma
chimes and other. economic factors which have Gre
ated the existing unusual situation The final solu-
ton may be shorter hours for labor, some other
process.
Meantime, men now idle must be put to work if
the country is to maintain It's purchasing power and
if the ranks of those now out of work not to be
increased,

Hasten SunnYside Action

The Marion County council has an urgent
duty to perform and it is vital to the safety of
scores of patients at Sunnyside sanatorium that
this duty be placed first on the council calen-
dar. That is, safeguarding of the institution
against fire, which is constant menace at the
sanatorium.
Several times in recent months it has been
necessary to transfer many of the patients
to their homes, due to water shortage. This
difficulty may in part be remedied by the strict
conservation plan, to be adhered to until
sedimentation bed type of plant is installed,
as contemplated. 1t is believed that this plan
can be used successfully during the five months
necessary for completion of the work of install
lation.
But the fact remains that this million-dollar
institution will be at the mercy of fire during
this period. 1t behooves the council to waste
no time in its decision. Devices available for
fighting flames would be effective only in the
initial stages of blaze, according to engineers
reports, and shocking fire tragedy might re-
suit.
Sunnyside s water problem should be made
matter of business of first Importance with
the council. The lives Of scores of practically
helpless patients are at stake.

A 21OO.Mile Memorial

Sam Fiji, president Of the Pacific Highway ASSo-
citation, wants to lay out memorial garden 210C
miles long, fringing the entire length of the Pacific
highway from the Mexican border to the Canadian
line.
1t is his plan to have space in this tremendous
garden for memorials of all kinds-to States, indi-
viduals. causes and ideals. Up and down the west
coast road, trees and flowers would grow as perpetual
evergreen monuments
This is a new idea, and a good one Why not
expand it to other highways we'll? Trees and
flowers certainly would look better than the present
system of gaudy bboards that line most of our main
trunk roads,

IF he killed his lord by accident
i 1.-The Serf was put to death; if
he killed him purposely, he was tor
tured to death by slow degrees. He
might be beaten or imprisoned at
his masters will, without law or
explanation; if he was killed, his
master paid fine.
Any goods left by him when he
died went not to his children, but
to the lord. If the lords daughter
married the serfs had to provide a
dowry; if the lord was captured
they had to ranSome him.
If a serf's son or daughter mar
ried or entered the church, the lord
had to be paid fee. His children
could not marry without the lords
consent, and sometimes more than
this was exacted of the bride.
An edict Of Aragon in the thir-
tenth century reads: I'VE decide
and declare that the barons shall
neither sleep the first night with
the bride of a peasant, nor shall
they on the first night, after the
woman has gone to bed, step over
said woman or bed in sign Of their
authority. Neither shall the afore-
said barons use the daughter or
son Of a peasant, with or without
pay, against their will" (Sugen-

new Goodyear drigible factory.
