There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. I John 4:18. Meanwhile Bitter Winter Comes PRESIDENT Harding’s recital of the present industrial crisis; his catalog of his continued efforts to bring peace in the coal and railroad war; his revelation of the quality of patience and persuasion—these should be enough to rouse even Congress to some height above conversation. Whether it will or will not remains to be seen. Meanwhile the country is plunging headlong toward a winter of suffering and hardship. Unfortunately the winter’s bitter harvest will not be reaped by the public until shortly after the November elections. That fact may embolden the politicians to confine their efforts to chattering. The constructive, emergency solution of the coal trouble, as suggested by Mr. Harding, is that, when necessary, coal is pooled by the Government and distributed at a fair price. This is a device that was fought off by the coal operators all during the war. It is one thing they most dread. To put it into effect would mean that the Government and the public would know the truth about the coal industry. Mr. Harding reaches the same tender spot when he suggests a “fact-finding” body to learn all about coal. Two years ago Congress gave the Federal Trade Commission the money to do that very thing—and the coal operators have kept the commission and the Government under court injunction ever since. The President is clear in his opposition to rule by. classes in this country. A miners’ private army in Illinois is as had as an operators’ army of gunmen in West Virginia. The forcible resistance to officers of law by workmen is as bad as the private employment of sheriffs and county prosecuting attorneys by the employers. Meantime, shall we freeze next winter or will Congress act? Turning to the rail strike the most pregnant words in the President’s message aro these; “Unhappily a number of decisions of this (railway labor) board have been ignored by the carriers. In only one instance, however, had a decision challenged by a carrier been brought to the attention of the Department of Justice, and this decision was promptly carried to the courts and has recently been sustained in the Federal Courts of Appeals' The public or the executive had no knowledge of the ignored decisions in other cases, because they did not hinder transportation. When these failures of many of the carriers to abide by decisions of the board were brought to my attention, I could fairly appraise the feelings of the strikers.” Restated, that means that the law can be ignored and constituted authority flaunted and neither the public, nor the President, nor the Department of Justice will know anything about such acts, “Because they do not hinder transportation.” Then when employes refuse to themselves be bound by the governmental body which is being ignored atid flaunted by their employers they go on strike. That “hinders transportation” and then and there only could the public, or the President, or the Department of Justice “more fairly appraise the feelings of the strikers.” The President has been patient,. He has worked hard. His message 6hows that he has learned a lot about his country, since he left the somnolences of the Selfate. He has learned so much and so patiently that his late colleagues in Congress would do well to listen to his words. He tells Congress plainly that the President is powerless and I that national disaster impends—that meanwhile a winter of bitter suffering approaches. The Greatest Word AN* Eastern newspaper editor desires his readers to inform him which of these four words, in their opinion, is the greatest: Mother, Home, Sendee, Love. Without love this world would be too barren for the survival of humanity. But “lov<T’ is contained in the word Mother because the greatest love of all is mother love. Service is that which holds mankind together. But “Service” Is contained in the word Mother because the greatest sendee of all is mother service. Home is the day-by-day heaven on earth of human beings.! ' Home is also contained in the word Mother because there is no real home without a mother. Mother containing the three words, equals them all—it is the greatest word in any language. MOTHER!

ENGLISH POLITICS TIIIS ON ISSUE OFFOREjGNTiMDL Public Sentiment Balks With Indifference Shown by Parliament. DERIDE ECONOMY PLEA Citizens Want Improvement in South American Commerce, First. By United Financial LONDON, Aug. 19. —The importance of foreign markets to British trade is not usually made the subject of domestic political campaigning. Just now foreign trade is being very freeley interpolated into home politics, chiefly by anti-Lloyd George factions. Except for the "safeguarding of key Industries bill” which has now degenerated into a minor free trade dispute, there is no special tariff question before parliament, but the political press is continually harping on foreign trade and the proper llelds to which should be directed. Much of this discussion owes its Inception to Lloyd George’s persistance in endeavoring to re-establish trade relations, with Russia. Business men—actuated by more or less selfish motives, the idealist might say—are pointing out very emphatically that there aro far more profitable markets than Russia already awaiting British enterprises. Charge Indifference One of the strongest points made by business men is that the present government is not paying sufficient atten- ; tion to developing South American I trade, in particular, and British j colonies trade in general. It was only after persistent ham- I mermg that the Government consented to send the battle cruisers Hood I and Repulse to the Rio exhibition, or, in fact, to take any notice of that im portant event at all. The Government pleaded “economy” when asked to supervise British rep- j resentation at the exhibition. Forunnately, for British trade prestige, this | attitude was quickly modified under parliamentary pressure. Vice Consul Reports Emphasizing the imjJfthance of South American markets, prominence is being given to consular reports from that continent, and not the least interesting of these is the report of Mrs L. Pearl Cross, British vice consul at Buenos Aires, printed in the Government “Board of Trade Journal." Quoting experience and intimate knowledge of the requirements of the market, Mrs. Cross says: “There is no reason to doubt, with the return of normal conditions, British goods will again hold their own in this market., given competitivt prices and j terms as advantageous as those offered other countries."

DIPHTHERIA By DR. R. H. BISHOP

I P H T HERIA is probably the most treacherous of all children's diseases. It attacks and progresses quickly. There is a 5 specific curative agent, antitoxin, j but you usually j don't know you have diphtheria until it's too late j for antitoxin to

p PSl* ; ( J

] have any preventive effect or to stop j the course of the disease. Before science had discovered and j applied antitoxin, more than half the ! diphtheria cases died. Today only one | out of every eight cases proves fatal, ! and a great many of these deaths are | the result of delay. It has been pretty well proved that i every case of diphtheria could be cured by giving the antitoxin during the first twenty-four hours of the disease. That this remedy may he admtnis- | tered in time, it Is necessary to call iin the family physician when the i least suspicion arises. If the child has a sore throat with white, flaky deposits on the tonsils, it Is suspicious. One should not wait for further symptoms, such as fever and marked physical depression: these are signs of an advanced stage. A croup cough is suspicious. When the disease attacks the voice box, i hoarseness and a ringing cough re- | suit, and the victim may soon strangle j from obstruction of the wind pipe, caused by the diphtheritic membrane. ! A running nose is another suspicious symptom. Parents should look out for the dirty, white discharge noticeable In diphtheria cases—a serious obstruction to breathing. School children may ‘‘catch” diph therla from one another in many ways—by drinking from the same cup. by putting pencils and marbles in their mouths, by turning pages of books with wet fingers, by kissing, spitting, coughing, sneezing or by using infected towels, handkerchiefs or napkins. Teachers should be especially watchful for any of the above signs in children and report any suspicious cases to local health departments This precaution may mean the saving of many little livo.-j.

LEARN A WORD TODAY Today’s word is—MATTOID. It's pronounced mat-old, with accent on the first syllable. It means—a person of abnormal mind from b,rth, bordering on Insanity or degeneracy. It comes, probably, from the Italian "matto,” meaning "mad,” though also evidently related to the Latin ‘ mattus, rnatus,” meaning “drunk,” plus the termination “old,” from the Greek, meaning “like, resembling.” It’s used like this—“ The ‘moron’ and the ‘mattoid’ differ from one another in that the moron Is an adult with a child's mind, while the line between the mattoid and the genius often is so doubtful that it puzzles alienists to decide on it.”

Consuming Public Faces Coal Famine Unless Millions of Tons Are Produced

By ALBERT APPLE ' Times Staff Correspondent PITTSBURGH, Aug. 19. How about a coal phortage this winter? Here are the facts; Total production of bituminous coal, from the first of the calendar year to Aug. 6, is estimated at 207,606,000 net tons, by the United States Geological Survey. ( This is only about 24,000,000 tons less than was mined in the corresponding period of last ye&r. Working near capacity, Amerioan mines in the past have managed to mine 24,000,000 tons of bituminous in less than two weeks. STOCKS LOW At the-beginning of the coal strike it was estimated that about 66,000,000 tons of bituminous coal were above ground ia storage. Coal men call this the “reserve stocks.” The country is consuming about 8,000.000 tons of bituminous a week. Production by non-union mines during the strike has averaged about 4,000,000 tons a week. This made a drain of about 4,000,000 tons a week on the stored coal. Inasmuch as no acute coal famine has developed, it is now believed in the coal industry that fuel reserves were larger than estimated. The bottom of the bin is generally in sight now. . The Shortage When the coal strike started, many union mines were practically shut down because they could not compete with the cheaper labor of the openshop mines. The general opinion among coal men is that the strike has "created sufficient market,’’ or shortage, to insure union mines a market for their coal as well as non-union coal until the end of next March. They are basing this belief on the assumption that union mines can be producing atj capacity by the middle of September. It is customary, at the end of the year, to have a carry-over or coal reserve of 20,000,000 to 30,000.000 tons.

larger than a year ago. July output was 450,000 tons. Output of by-product coke in July was 2,486,000 tons. This was only 3 per cent less than the average for 1920, the year of greatest production. As usual, the coal shortage attacks the Northwest hardest. Shipment of cargo coal up the Great Lakes for the season to July 30 compare as follows: 1922 4,406,067 tons 1921 13,699,762 tons 1920 7,049,797 tons 1919 13,476,878 tons Keeping It Home One result of the coal strike may be to cost America its coal export market, temporarily. The coal will be needed at home too much to ship it abroad. , Bituminous exports last year totaled over 20,000,000 tons. Exports have fallen to about 80,000 tons a month. This curtailing of foreign shipments has helped powerfully to counteract low coal production and exhaustion of stocks. The Rail-Key Coal men say that a fuel shortage will depend largely on the railroads" ability to move the coal after it is mined, granting a return to full-time mine operations. The mines apparently could produce enough coal to pull the country through the winter by the skin of its teeth, if the railroads could move 12,000,000 tons a week without getting congested.

FACTS INTIMATE PUBLIC DEMAND FOB GOAL BOARD Desirability of Government Regulation Commission Follows Strike. THIRD PARTY SUFFERS Owners and Miners Will Lose Nothing, but Consumers Are Not So Certain. By c. c. LYOX. Times Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—There are certain surface indications that the American public, now that the coal strike has been settled, will demand that Congress provide a Government agency to regulate the coal industry, after the fashion that the Interstate Commerce Commission regulates the railroads. Here are some salient facts that are sure to increase the pressure for such a demand: 1. The mine owners lost nothing through the 20-iveek shutdown of their mines. Between now and April 1, 1923, they’ll sell 360,000,000 tons of coal at an increase of at least $2 a ton over what they were selling it before the strike began. They'll not only make back their losses but "clean up” several hundred millions additional. For them the strike will have been a bonanza. Miners May Gain 2. The 600,000 striking miners will lose nothing in the long rim. In 1921 they worked an average of less than 200 days, three or four days a week. Their 20-weeks idleness meant only a loss of from 60 to SO working days. Now they can work every day, except Sunday, for 32 weeks. In these 32 weeks they'll probably draw a lot more pay than they did during the 12nonth period pr* ceding the strike. | 3. Only the public—the "innocent” third party—actually loses. And its loss on coal-buying alone between now and April 1, 1923, will be more than one billion dollars. It will pay that much more because of the famine in coal created by the twenty weeks' shut-down. Another billion will hardly cover the public loss during th? strike. Indutrial America alone lost almost aa much. Inquiry Probable The question remaining is “How long will the public permit such conditions to. continue in a basic industry, an industry that affects practically every family and every' industry in the entire country?” In the mine-strike settlement provision is made for selection, by the miners and operators, of a commission of inquiry. Such commission would have no power to order the closing of thousands of high-cost, unprofitable mines which, in large measure, are responsible for overproduction, and too many miners. The best thought here on the subject is that the . Government must step in and establish a strong agency that can stabilize the industry so that it •will furnish steady employment, and equitable distribution of coal at fair prices.
