The miners have the same vision but “The operators, capital if you will, do not want the government to lay its blighting hand on their business; they know that they can conduct it more efficiently than can a federal bureau: In this the managers of coal mines are no differently disposed than men in all other lines of industry and busi-' “As the New York Times puts it editorially, ‘To speak with a straight face of Government operation ms a means of eliminating waste and extravagance must be hard for Mr. Borah or anybody else. Look at the figures of the Government's balance sheet in the shipping business.

Had the management dis- charged the less efficient and energetic half of the working force or closed the less efficient mines and then have kept the remaining mines going full tilt all day every day, as much coal would have been produced and the cost per ton would have been less. Part time operation always increases unit cost. Bus once a union miner or mine worker becomes attached to a pay roll the union protects him against dis- charge. “Should Senator Borah pursue his study diligently he will find that the checkoff is the greatest bar to geod management in the bituminous coal industry, and he will find that the operators have declared for; its rejection in future contracts. “We must ask, however, what in the public inter- est determines whether the coal industry is efficient or otherwise. Until thrown out of joint by the war and. in turn by post-war adjustment, even as now, the bituminous coal industry gave the United States all the coal it required and it was the cheapest coal in the world. The mine workers produced, and even yet produce, more tons per man per day and per year than in any other important country. The percent- age of machine-mined coal in the United States is exceeded nowhere. “The faults which are blazoned on high—inter- mittency of operation, high wage rates, union domi- nation, penchant for car shortages, overdevelopment and others—are the result of the rapid growth under highly competitive conditions of a wholly disinte- grated business composed of provincial, widely scat- tered units. “The remedy of nationalization proposed by the United Mine Workers promises no cure for these basic faults. There can be no effective remedy that does not contemplate the prompt squeezing out of the mass the inefficient mines, which means workers and fewer operators. less If there are, as esti- mated, 159,000 more mine workers than are neces- gary for proper functioning, they must go, as must many high cost mines. “Wbcst covernmental agency would take such a parted for home.

Orig- inally the demand for this kind of journalism may have been small, but it has grown with what ft feeds on, until today it is one of the most significant facts in American international relations. We have heard of foul attacks which followed the visit to Berlin on the occasion of his sister’s death of the late King Edward, then Prince of Wales, and we can recall the scurrilous character of many French papers at the time of the Boer war. The British press is not wholly without sin in this respect, but since the end of the Great War it has been a model upon which the press of other countries might well have fash- |ioned itself.

St. George is a new Brit- ish twin-screw steamship of 14,000 tons displacement and was built by Beardmore and company, limited, of Glasgow, one of the great ship- which has constructed more British warships than any other shipbuild- ing firm. This magnificent steamer is the last word in the ship builder's art. ‘We believe the material and work- manship to be unexcelled by any passenger steamer afloat. Oil is used for fuel instead of coal which enables the steamer to present a very superior speed, being able to maintain 16% knots per hour.

SATURDAY*AND SUNDAY, March 25 and 26—These two days were spent in delightful Bermuda. We arrived early Saturday morning but were compelled to anchor out in the roadstead until the Victoria, a sister ship to the Ft. St. George, that runs between New York and Bermuda, came out of the harbor, so that we could get alonside the dock. While we were anchored it was heralded all over the ship that the health officer was coming on Ddoard and that we should all be ready for his inspection which consisted of a circle trip around the boat among the passen+ gers and for which lie no doubt re- ceived a handsome fee. Before we were fully at the dock the mail came on board which caused considerable excitement among the passengers as this was the first mail we had received dur- f : i 8 i } | ni j i HH 1H iv HE g i E i 1 ; I ii fe i ; Ik k f BE i | aay | rab tid | : Ht B3 M3 378! k i 3 i nq “Mud on the country road has a real effect on every man, child, regardless of occupation or lo- cation.

It was here that I first received word of the passing on of my beloved friend, Yrank G. Curtis. The news came in a letter from a friend in New York like a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky. It was a terrible shock as I had just left him in splendid health and manhood befors taking the boat and was to meet him upon my re- turn to New York. Frank had so many things planned to do in the de- velopment of Wyoming and his sud- den demise will bo a severe loss to Casper as well as the whole state. It only goes to prove that man pro- poses while God disposes. After receiving this sad news it seemed that all the gladness was taken out of the trip and while Ber- muda is a beautiful island and there are many wonderful sights to be seen here, I don’t feel that I can describe it further, i ee RE NOTICE.
