HITS BRITISH

By DAVID M. CHURCH. STAFF CORRESPONDENT U N. SERVICE 1X)XDO.n-. Nov. Th British miningindustry ha suffered a rapl: and disastrous reaction from the settlement of th American coal strike. Curiae tho summer months American coal orders poured Into the British marKet and It was estimated that these orders would keep the 3r-itl3h industry thriving until well into the winter. Since the settlerr.ent of the strike In the United fc-tatej, however, cancellations of ore'ers have Hooded in. and the British mining: industry Is once mor. at low ebb. Owners and employers are alikt worried ovjr the situation. Man: mines are running but two ana three days a week, with consequen unemployment In districts when unemployment has been already most distressful, K.T.fJoyea are seeking Increase wages or other means of adjus.ln their difficulties. Owners claii. they are already suffering heav. losses. Frank Hodges, secretary of the .diners" Federation, lias suggested that the burden be partly bivn by he householder and has proposed that there do an inciease of sixty 'tuts a ton In the price of household coal. The owners are not receiving this suggestion with any jreat enthusiasm, because they claim that only one-seventh of the otal normal sale is for domestic purposes and that such a step vould not result in any general re. ef either to workers or owners. "Miners' earnings are not more han 40 to 5 per cent higher than before the war," says W. A. Lee, secretary of the mining association of Great Britain, "and this, while

low in comparison with railway men or municipal workers' wages. Is not as low as the present earnings In other big Industries. "The economic position is such that everyone has to suffer, for the simple reaion that there is not enough to ko round, and in that sense miners are sharing in comnipn with others. "13ut it would be worse If, In adition to the low rate wages which now prevail in other industries.

the miner had also the unemployment which exists In those industries. On the other .hand, the stoppage of last year, which Involved the owners In a loss of $35,000,000, has also left the miners with a load of debt which must be cleared off." Poor living conditions, which promised to be alleviated by the influx of American orders, are again reported from the mining districts, and relief measures are being contemplated.

TRANSPOR TA TION

UESTION

The recent conference held by the Board of Public Works and the Mayor and Transportation Committee and executives of the Green Line is illuminating in so far as the result of the meeting is virtually an admission of failure by the Street Car Company to furnish the people of Hammond and East Chicago with the service which is literally the obligation of all Public Utilities holding concessions: i At one time the Street Railway was an undoubted factor in the economic and social life of any City, but with the development of the Automobile the Street Car is an obsolete and old-fashioned as the horse-drawn Hansom Cab. Hammond and East Chicago are singularly unfortunate in being apparently humbugged and dictated to by an arbitrary Street Railway Company which appears more able to excuse bad service than to remedy the same. The Company deplores its inability to furnish new cars and equipment on the grounds that the Jitneys absorb the majority of the short haul and fair weather traffic and thus gain the cream of the profits surely a plain acknowledgement that the public prefer the Jitney mode of transportation and its convenience to the delays and restricted routes of the Street Car System. After all, it is the Public who are to be satisfied in this matter and every Citizen of Hammond and East Chicago appreciates the convenience and benefits of the Jitneys as is proved by their popularity. Street Car Rails and wires are no adornment to any City and trie dingy cars with their restricted stops and routes cannot compare with the mobile and smart-appearing automobile, which is continually moving and cannot delay traffic. The Green Line Company promise more frequent service Hut it would necessitate a constant stream of cars and the consequent tie-up of all other moving vehicles to handle the large number of persons who have to reach their work at certain hours, and even then, there are many plants and places of business that the cars could not reach unless the Company would miraculously raise sufficient money to lay their lines in every street in Hammond and East Chicago, and that would scarcely "beautify our

Cities."

The sum of money which Mr. Busby states his concern is prepared to lay out on the proposed improvements seems scarcely adequate to even pave 1 50th Street and Indianapolis Blvd., and render it safe for other traffic without pulling up and ruining other thorofares and making them unsafe for traffic of any kind. All Public Utilities seem to lose sight of the fact that Streets and Highways belong to the people and are for the benefit of

others as well as for themselves.

It is a sign of the times that the Transportation problem 1$ constantly cropping up in most of our large cities and during the recent Street Car Strike in Chicago, when the wage-earners faced the alternatives of walking miles to their work or losing their wages, Automobiles solved the question so satisfactorily that the City government is seriously considering the replacement of the clumsy and ugly Street Car with the convenient Motor-bus. Let Hammond and East Chciago lead the way as they have done during the last 14 months when the Hammond Motor Transportation was formed to give the people service, and let the people remember that ONLY NOW WHEN THEIR STOCKHOLDERS POCKETS ARE AFFECTED does the Green Line Company desire to work for the good of the Public. It is estimated that $25,000.00 per month is earned by the Jitney drivers in this district, and this money is spent with, and consequently benefits the business men of the neighborhood, and is not divided among a few Stockholders who may not even reside in Lake County. The Hammond Motor Transportation Association asks the support of the working people and business men and is at all times anxious to have views and suggestions of their patrons which will tend to improve the service and satisfy the requirements oc the people in general. To conclude, if the Public is in favor of the Jitneys, IT WILL HAVE THE JITNEYS, and every sensible person knows that no amount of specious promises and arguments wi.l get a man to work on time. It would be desirable if the meeting which is to be hf ld on Noember 9th, could be attended by those most interest, j. e. the People, as well as by the different Clubs. We are prepared on 72 hours notice to furnish tfns ortat'on to all points in the Calumet District. Don't forget that we came to your ats'stae a d furnished you fir t lass service when the Green Line turned you down. We are not askins that tfe Street Cars be moved out of the bush.ss district, but just let their conscience be their guide. Our cars move rain or shine. pv Board of Directors, Hammond Motor Transportation Association (Advertisement)
