generally can depend upon coal
as a fuel.
The people Of the State can
not afford to have their fuel
supply cut off by the whims of
q lot of irresponsible men. Every.
thing possible to hasten the in
PRODUCTION of natural gas into
Colorado should be done.
The Denver Post and thou
sands of citizens made a deter
mined fight against natural gas
to protect the jobs Of the thou
sands of coal miners in Colorado.
This fight has not been appreci-
ated by the people for whose
interests it was waged. So the
thing to do is DROP TT. (The
Posts capS).
The sooner we get natural
gas the better. It will be better
fuel than coal. It will be
cheaper. IT WILL BE DEPEND
ABLE; and when Colorado gets
natural gas. we won't have to
worry about a coal strike every
spring and fall.
Denver hospitals with their
thousands of patientS-sick or
manned men, women, children
are facing a coal famine. The
strike has cut off their fuel sup
ply. If the hospitals were
heated with gas, this couldn't
happen.
The purpose of this strike is
to shut down every mine in the
State and prevent a single lump
of coal from being mined in
Colorado. They hope the sting
of cold and the pangs of hun.
ger will stir up public sentis
ment to force the mine opera
tors to accede to all the de-
mands of the I. w. w.
The public is being pinched
by the refusal of the operators
to meet impossible demands of
the I. w. w. If Colorado had
natural gas it could go about
its business without suffering.
There is a lesson in this coal
strike for Denver and every
other city of the State. 1t is:
PUT IN NATURAL GAS AND
DON'T BE AT THE MERCY
OF A COAL STRIKE. posts

Denver has had enough time
to learn this lesson. Every OBJ
lection to the introduction Of
natural gas should be withdrawn
at once. Instead of opposition.
whole-hearted cooperation should
be given to the project. The
gas may cost more than some
of us think it should. But at
least We'll know we are going
to get it when we want it. Den
yer wants and must have a de-
pendable fuel supply. We have
found out we can't depend upon
coal. Natural gas is the only
other alternative"

1927. the Post vigorously had cam
paigned against the approval Of a
proposed natural gas ordinance
which was then pending before
the Denver city council. The
Council previously had approved
the ordinance by a vote of 6 to 3,
but with the proviso that upon pc
tition of a certain number Of vot-
erS that a referendum should be
held to determine the final fate
Of the ordinance.
The Colorado Interstate Gas
Co.. a $22, 100000 project. was to
pipe natural gas over 400 mile

to Denver, where the Standard
subsidiary sells the gas to the Pub
lie Service Co., of Colorado, q
Cities Service Company unit.
All through October up to the
26th, the Post crusaded urging the
people to sign a petition for a
referendum on the natural gas
ordinance.
Demands Lower Rates
On October IL, following this
long crusade. the paper published
the following statement:
Petitions demanding that
within 30 days the city council
either pass q new natural gas
ordinance embOdying rates

lost its fear. Economists have written
a hundred different excuses for the
phenomenon. One is that purchasing
power is being stimulated by Federal
activities, but such activities have not
increased lately. The other excuses
are no better.
What appears to have happened is
that confidence and self assurance are
being re-established by a fatalistic
anticipation that the end of the de-
preston cycle has been reached.
Stirling Given Suggestion.
Navy Secretary Swanson has written
a personal letter to Rear Admiral
Stirling, commandant of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, suggesting that the admiral
be a little more careful about the
articles he writes for magazines. The
letter was no a reprimand, only
suggestion.
What caused it was the fuss stirred
up largely by friends of the Soviet
here about Strings last piece sug-
costing that European nations should
stop quarreling among themselves and
recognize the danger of a spread Of
Communism. 1t was somewhat gratu-
itouS advice.
There is a rumor around that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will put out statement
when Congress adjourns, assuring
business that the major reform pro-
gram has now been enacted, that
there will be no more.
The rumor is premature, but the
situation it describes is not. It Is q
fact that he is keeping Congress here

Of the way. The coming Fall will

LAWS OF DUBIOUS
VALIDITY URGED
DR.. McBain Holds Plan Would
Increase Support for Consti.
tutional Change.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CANTON, N Y, June 2l.-Dr
Howard Lee McBain of Columbia Uni
versity told the conference on Ca
nadian-American affairs today that 1t
would be good tactics" for the Presi-
dent to jam through as many New
Deal laws of doubtful constitutionality
as possible.
DR.. McBain argued such q course
would increase the support for a con-
stitutional amendment to enlarge the
powers of the national Government to
regulate business.
He said he assumed the President
still held the view expressed on May
81, just after the Supreme Court had
stricken N. r A. off the statute books
Outside the conference. DR.. McBain
intimated that he believed the present
social security and the Wagner bills
as described In the press came under
the head of the doubtful constitu-
tionality."
AT the time of his famous press
interview of May 81" he said, "Mr
Roosevelt was evidently of the opinion
that in the light of the Schechter de-
cision (throwin6 out N. r. A.. little
that is really reformatory in the polit-
ico-economic system can be accom-
plished short OF amending the Consti-
tuition
If this is still his view, 1t would be
good tactics for him to drive through
Congress as many New Deal bills OF
doubtful constitutionality as he can
and to hasten these laws to an early
judicial decision as to their constitu-
tionality. -
THE President would not of course
encourage the drafting and enactment
of laws known to be unconstitutional
for the deliberate purpose of arousine
opposition to the Constitution. But II
he believes law to be otherwise good
the mere fact of its being held un-
constitutional may prove to be grist
for his mill fer ultimate reform"
A noted authority on constitutional
law, DR.. McBaip spoke at the discus
sion of politics in the conference
sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace, st. Lawrence
University of Canton, and Queens
University of Kingston, Ontario.
