HUMANITY AND THE MINER

England is waking up to realiA
zation of the condition Of her mini
ers. The miners themselves tried
to show this at the time OF their
great strike. But that strike in
wolves another question SO huge, one
not only national, but International;
that the dificulty of the minor was
|obscured in the consideration OF It..
Then too the miner lost the strike,
and lost causesare lost.
The appalling point with which the
miners strike in England a few
years ago became involved was one
which had been much theorized
about in Labor Unions, but never be-
fore brought close to test. and that
was the sympathetic strikes possible
to be called through labor unions.
How closely knit together were la-
Dor circles nationally, international
ly?
In England Labor Unions, are or
ganized in divisions. The strike OF
the miners called out all OF one d.
vision, most of second, affected
third and threatened fourth. Had
it spread to that fourth it threaten
ed to become an international mat
ter. But to that point the strike did
not go.
After the reaction of it's failure
did come study and better under
standing of the question OF mines
and miners in Great Britain. Yjhe
mine owners showed that it was not
paying to operate many OF the
mines. Oil and electricity We're
taking the place of coal. The coal
in many of the mines was also OF q
poor quality, seams were giving out.
they were worked far underground
in some instances running several
miles under the sea. TO the cost OF
getting the coal out must be added
the cost of hauling. The mine own-tl
er had his hands tied. Relief turn
ed to the government.
The government gave doles, it did
not solve the question. The misery
of the miners grew. The Prince OF
Wales asked for and obtained
Christmas 1928, big sum for their
help. He has recently visited house
after house in the mining districts to
see what conditions really are-and
has found them appalling. The con-
ditions he has brought forcibly be-
fore the people may cause the down
fall of the Conservative party In the
summer elections. Yet that party
or any other-has tremendous ques'
lions to take up before the matter
can be solved. What is to be done
for these 100000 persons who know
no other life but that OF the miner
whose forefathers have been mlnersl
for generation after generation (

Yet England before this has faced
parallel economic crises. Changes
in machinery and changes in motive
power alike have brought them
about. And after each adjustment
has come a higher level of living

A plan to change the law requir-
ing payment of personal property tax
before motorists can obtain license
tags for their automobiles is one OF
a series of proposals before the Leg
islature affecting automobile owners
and drivers in Maryland.
AS a result of a conference with
e. Austin Baughman, Motor Vehicle
Commissioner, Governor Richie an
nounced thatShe favored placing on
the State the burden OF determining
whether the tax has been paid and
the immediate issuance Of license
tags after the motorist has signed a
certificate stating that this obliga-
tion had been met.
partment, it is
~ nd that the personal property
taxes have not been paid, then the IL
cense that has been issued will be
revoked.
Under the present system the
motorist must prove payment OF the
tax before the license will be issued
to him.
This system has caused wide
spread Inconvenience and loss OF
time to the motorists of the State
particularly to those living in the
counties.

Fort Worth Protests
Four Cent Gas Tax

FORT WORTH, Tex. Aug. STR
Possibility that the city Of Fort
Worth would present a test case
in connection with the new four
cent state gasoline tax law arose
today with the announcement by
City Manager Carr that the city
council might be asked to approve
such a move.
The city has objected to paying
the tax on gasoline used or gaso-
line used by the municipality. IL
holds that the state has no right
to tax a city and that the tax, as
1t applies to municipal gasoline, Is
unconstitutional.
1t Is tentatively planned TO pur-
chase a quantity Of gasoline IN
Oklahoma. This. 1t was pointed out,
would cause the state to file suit
for collection of the tax If it ex-
Pected to collect the money.
Present supply Of municipal gas
cline is sufficiently large to make
unnecessary any additional pur-
chase until early in September. It
was said.
The city manager estimated that
the tax here on municipality used
gasoline would approximate SIS
600 a year.
