NORTH-SOUTH COAL WAR UP TO ROOSEVELT

Johnson and Richberg to Put Grievous Problem Before President. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer. WASHINGTON, April 17.—President Roosevelt, having spoken firmly to congress and given it work enough to keep it out of mischief for some time, had another set of recalcitrants on his hands today. The problem he must solve next —if he can—is the one which sent north and south to arms against each other in 1861—economic competition between two secitions of the country where labor costs differ. It has troubled . RA since its inception. Now it has become crucial in the bituminous oeal industry. Two weeeks ago NR A Administrator Hugh Johnson tried to bring wage rates in northern and southern coal mines closed together by executive order. The south had been paying $1.20 a day less than the north. General Johnson ordered that hereafter southern coal mines should pay only 40 cents a day less than northern mines. Southern operators rebelled. Most of them closed their mines. In Alabama alone 18,000 miners are out of work and most of them are on relief. Operators secured a temporary federal injunction to prevent enforcement of the Johnson order. Come to Launch Protests They came to Washington to protest and NRA heard their grievances along with the northerners’ complaints of unfair competition. For the last week NRA's economic advisor, Leon Henderson, has been analyzing the testimony and preparing recommendations. His reports were rushed to Johnson and general counsel Donald Richberg. as they rested at White Sulphur Springs. Today Johnson and Richberg return to Washington. They will confer with the President. A decision must be reached at once since southern operators’ injunction proceedings come up for hearing in the Alabama federal court Thursday. The administration must either retreat from its position or fight in the courts, and. in the event of success, find a way to enforce its order. The north-south difference in wagees has been less troublesome in other industries coded under NRA. Textile mills in the south pay approximately 8 per cent less than their competitors in the north. The Johnson order w r ould have made the differential in coal 8 per cent also. Lewis on North’s Side Southern business men, however, see a menace to the whole industrial structure of the south in the new coal order. One hundred and fifty of them have been summoned from states as far west as Texas to discuss the situation in Birmingham tomorrow. Southern newspaper articles are referring to “the war between the states” in discussing the issue. United Mine Workers of America side with northern operators in the dispute. Months ago President John L. Lewis laid before NRA cost of living figures from the bureau of labor statistics which showed, he said, that workers need as much money in the south as in the north. According to his figures, average cost of food in the United States was $251.74 a year and in thirteen southern cities was $250.65; average rents per room were $33.60 a year in the south and $32.24 a year in the north.

chapter xx Spiritual Adventures in Economics LET me illustrate from the immediate dilemma which confronts this nation: Shall we follow the path of nationalism, the path of internationalism, some combination of the two, or let things drift? Each of the first three paths carries with it great benefits and great penalties. Nationalism means an extraordinary degree of internal regulation, especially in agriculture. Internationalism means planning of foreign loans, lowering of tariffs and a planned retirement of certain types of industry. To carry out either one or a combination of the two sufficiently well to prevent great misery means widespread debate in congress and among the people until the national will has been aroused sufficiently to make it passible for the people to hold resolutely to a sensible plan in spite of the handicaps which go with it.

Until the tariffs are lowered W’e are forced in agriculture to follow in some measure the plan of nationalism. Frankly, I don’t like it but there is no alternative for the time being. It may, of course, have invaluable results if a high degree of social discipline is developed. Already there are signs that our wheat acreage reduction plan is developing some of this social discipline. The national quota is split up among the states and then among the counties and individuals. There is the hard problem of wrestling with the stubborn individual facts to meet a social outcome. Some of the newer Kansas counties claimed the right to grow more wheat than we thought they should. We had to re-examine our facts; the farmers had to reexamine theirs. There have been literally hundreds of thousands of individual debates, many of them conducted on a very low plane, but all the time I believe there has come an increasing appreciation of both the international and the national problem in terms of the local welfare. In another year the problem will have shifted but I trust there will still be a machinery for voluntary social discipline. a a a WE must have more and more of this kind of thing througout our entire national life. If the international plan instead of the national plan is eventually decided upon we shall still need a social discipline, though of a somewhat different type. In any event every individual in the country should feel that he is necessary to carrying out the plan. He should feel that the plan is necessarily a shifting one but that the shifts are to be made in terms of the total welfare and not as the result of pressure from a particular region or class. He should feel that the national plan is to be fitted into the welfare of the world as rapidly as can be done with safety. The social discipline can be given a very definite machinery but after all the really important thing is the spirit pervading the whole effort. If men close to the inward realities are able to grasp the present national and world picture with their minds they can make the necessary social discipline seem tremendously worth while. Without such men the discipline will prove sterile and we shall drift on a sea of sophisticated materialism toward not only national disaster but world catastrophe. By religion I have meant in this discussion that instinctive, fundamental, underlying attitude which every one has to the world outside of himself and especially toward the less tangible, more enduring spiritual forces. Under this definition, religion comes first and from it springs the arts, the sciences, the inventions, the division of wealth and the attitudes between classes and toward other nations. a an Religion of this kind has nothing to do with creeds or churches. It is the kind of thing which caused Davia in the depths of despair to cry out toward God in the psalms. It is not surprising that the Puritan and Scotch-Irish pioneers sang psalms as they conquered this continent. Neither is it surprising that their descendants should have saved money and become capitalists thoroughly imbued with the doctrine of rampant. individualism. David's religion stood him in good stead as long as he was confronted with adversity. He did not have a religion which enabled either himself or his children to live so very satisfactorily with material abundance. The pioneers of this continent were the spiritual descendants of David as a young man, a God-fearing man of war, overcoming the enemy with the odds terribly against him. Our wealthy people of today are the spiritual descendants of the mature, licentious David with contentious. licentious children. David did not have the spiritual resources to live with material abundance—neither as yet do we.

Ope of the objects of most noble religions is to bring about the creation here on earth of the kingdom which exists in the heaven world. For nineteen hundred years it seemed that the realization here on earth of anything m the nature of the Lord's prayer or the Sermon on the Mount was sheer nonsense and impossible from an economic or material point of view. Today we know the thing is easily possible from a material point of view, and that the essential requisites are first, really up-to-date social machinery, and second, sympathetic human hearts

Dr. Schillinger Is opposing Miss Marjorie Pickett, sister of Fred Pickett, supreme court clerk, and secretary of the Wayne county Democratic committee. Mr. Pickett long has been labeled as supporting R. Earl Peter , Pt. Wayne, for the United States senatorial nomination. It was the proPeters label which caused the state administration to enter Dr. Schillinger, it was said. Mr. Greenlee, however, stated that "Dr. Schillinger entered himself.” In entering an institution superintendent as delegate, the state administration again opened the way i for the increasing G. O. P. criticism | of putting the institutions on a polit- | ical basis, it has not been custom- ! ary in the past for institution superintendents to take such an active part in party politics. Dr. Schillinger was appointed by Governor Paul V. McNutt to succeed Dr. L. F. Ross, a Republican and long time superintendent of the i Easthaven hospital, last year.
