The President's Hand in the Coal Strike PREST WILSON, the sick man of Washington, away down and out according to nnti-adminitration osip and of Wilson haters in particular; seeking to scandalize even his intelligence, because of his illness, and their apparent hope that it miijht be true, again appears capable of definite action, and with the disposition to act. He has taken the coal mining "bull" by the horns, and in language unmistaknble. informed the leaders of the United Mine Workers that the proposed strike of Nov. 1st, is "not only unjustifiable but unlawful." and that relying upon a contract made by the union with the United States fuel administration, "for the period of the war, but not beyond April I. 1920," he expects to enforce it to the letter. Furthermore the mine workers are warned that the war is still a fact, as a matter of law, and that the espionage act applies where he, as commander-in-chief of the army wishes to apply it, and that he regards himself justified in applying it to the coal situation if need be. as the processes of troop transportation, and the unsettled condition of the world, would suffer from a strike at this time. Even this aside, according to the-president, the coal supply is so interlinked with industry, and the very lives and well-being of -the whole people, that in the present state of unrest, and the lack of coal on hand, he would feel obliged to regard the strike as a conspiracy against the whole people, if not calculated to undermine the government, and thereupon he almost threateningly asks the union leaders to call the strike off. Anyhow, they are informed, that any concerted strike on the day in question, or thereafter, until matters are better settled, will be resented by Uncle Sam. "It is time for plain talk," he asserted, and proceeded accordingly. IU PUBLIC interest in the industrial situation is further accentuated by this act of the president, particularly coming as it does, following the b reaking up of the industrial conference at Washington, by the public group following the labor group into retirement. The public group recommended to the president that he appoint a commission to deal with the labor question, and that it be clothed with power to act, with the United States army at its back, if need be. to enforce its decrees upon both capital and labor and the commission which it looks now is most likely to serve, is the president and his cabinet, with the attorney general and secretaries of war. labor and interior close at his elbow. As the situation stood at the time of the conference smashup, organized labor asked the same recognition as a right, in the terms of industrial peace, as the courts have recognized for it; that of collective bargaining, and the privilege of cooperation among workingmen to advance their interests. The public group joined labor in this demand, as does also the general public, conditioned, however, that labor pledge itself not to abuse the right when it is formally recognized as capital has done. 4 Organized capital has recognition, and retains it, a fact recognized by both labor and public as a matter of course. Labor recognizes it by asking recognition for itself, quite as capital recognizes organized labor, though negatively, by refusing to recognize it. Such is the status of capital and labor now engaged in a fight for supremacy when they would both be a great deal better off working together, but what about the third party, the public? The public is bigger than either of the other parties, and yet ordinarily it seems to have no rights that either of them is bound to respect. Isn't it about time that the public itself demands recognition? Well, the president has recognized it. The differences between labor and capital can wait. Ill INDEED, yes. the public is interested quite as much, if not more, than either capital or labor, as respects industrial conditions, and for a very obvious reason. Take the steel strike and threatened coal strike as criterions. A review of the iron trade says: "Loss of production, with a consequent shortage of material, caused by the strike, has created a situation where consumers are bidding up iron and steel prices rapidly in their efforts to protect themselves against their requirements. The impending coal strike, with its threat f a further far-reaching dislocation of industry, is serving to intensify this insistent demand and to raise the prospect before the producers of higher operating costs. Material available for early delivery is commanding sharp premiums, and this is tending also to lift prices for future shipments." In simple, plain English, the steel strike has begun to raise the prices of steel products, and the prospect of a coal strike has helped to boost them. Already the effects are felt by those who buy direct from the manufacturers. They are beginning to. show in wholesale and retail prices. Soon, if the steel strike is not quickly settled, and if the coal strike should occur, they will be felt by everybody who buys any kind of iron or steel products, and then by everybody who buys anylhing depending upon these iron and steel products and upon the use of coal. It is a good illustration of the manner in which capital and labor fiddle, and the public pays the bill. Th ese price-raises affect labor as well as the public, and public well as labor: to them it is a total loss while capital boosts prices to c6ver its loss, so that the strike really defeats its purpose all the way

along tne

ine.

Society demands, and has a right to demand, some process by which these industrial problems can be adjusted without resorting to war, such as the strike really is and in working out that process, capital must be required to make some concessions, and it might better make them as concessions, than possibly in the end surrender them as confiscations. The mine owners should not be too sure that the victory is all theirs, incident to this move of the president. He has spoken for an emergency; as much as to say to the workingmen. you shall not strike, and if you do you take the consequences, but the operators may hear from him later, for once, quite the kind of recognition the public needs. IV npHE public had a sort of recognition in the Washington conference, with 1 representatives appointed by the president, corresponding to the representation or capital and labor, but it has had no determining voice. It had only one of three votes; and by the rules of the conference, when it voted with either the labor group or the capital group, on the most vital questions, its vote was nullified by the opposing group. Capital was able, in that conference, to cancel the vote of the labor group and the public group, too and likewise labor could cancel the efforts of both the capital and public groups. The public ought, logically, to have been able to cancel both of the other two together. The public really has one form of representation where it is supreme, as it ought to be. That is the United States government. The government can assume control of every other factor in the industrial situation. Its police powers are broad enough for that. If it becomes necessary, the government should, and probably will, exercise such authority. Every element in the present industrial warfare will do well to recognize this fact, that if Uncle Sam must, he can. and Pres't Wilson has declared that as to the threatened coal strike, because of the extraordinary possibilities

tor evil, ne win. i nere may De a warning in it tor other strike situations well.

John Filsworth and T-ai Worden used to live in the same neighborhood 115 or 30- years ago. lid came back to town tho other lay for a visit, the first time in a good many years. Of course Gene Miller at the American Trust Co. didn't recognize Ed when ho came into the bank to see him. which caused Kd to tlo quite, a little bragging about how perfectly well he always remembered names and faces

A few minutes later Mr. Kllsworth I

dropped into the bank to see if hi

Mr. Miller called him into his of

wet, talking and Mr. Ellsworth, who never forgets n name or fete, promptly said: Howdy Ed. Where have you been?" Ed told John where he had been, letting on all the time that he Knew him. Finally he turned to Miller and rjueried: "Whore's John Ellsworth Is he still here In town?" He wondered why the other two men laughed so hard, and finally understood when Gene pointed at John and said: "That's John you're talking to." And Ed laughed with them. Charley Coonley then came in the bank. Gene Miller said: "III bet Ed you don't know who that is." pointing to Mr. Coonley. "Sure I do." said Ed and he stepped up to Mr. Coonley. shoved out his nut and said: "Hello. Mr. Cushing." Then Sam T.ontz came along, and Mr Worden tho'xht lie was Sam
