Is the Three Mont people's right to an uninterrupted supply of, coal the dominant right? The people’s right to a supply of coal at reasonable prices should be equally enforceable against a combination of operators raising prices or a combination of miners shutting down the mines.” From this text a member of the United States coal commission, delivered a very com- prehensive address on the coal situation be- fore the academy of Political Science. The premise presented will appear well founded and to appeal to the sense of justice of the fair minded. The so-called right of the public to purchase coal has been accepted so long without question that it is regarded as an accepted fact. Upon what principle is this so-called right based? Apparently upon the theory that coal is a neces- sity and therefore someone else is called upon to supply that necessity. The fact is that coal is not a necessity except in the light that every- thing we need or use is a necessity. Wheat is a necessity, but it would take a long stretch of imagination to suppose that Mr. A. who owns railway employes of England, a member of par- liament and one of the leaders of the labor party has uttered some very commendable sentiments in respect to the British situation. He shows a sense of responsibility to the public which is a thing in the consideration of all- industrial problems. The obligation to recognize this re- sponsibility rests alike upon employers and wage earners. When all parties are aimated by this spirit, difficulties will be readily settled, and all will share in the benefits that result to the public. Mr. Thoms says: “We have succeeded, possibly for the first time in history, in establishing confidence be- tween the management and ourselves. That is of immense value to the railway service as a whole. Our men sit down with the other side with confidence and with an independent feeling that they can plead the case of their fellow workers without fear or favor; and that in |spires confidence that is of immense value te the railway companies and to the public. No mistaken or blind policy should be followed that is going to shake that confidence because if that |policy should be pursued, I believe it will end jin disaster. “I go further, and say to you employes, do Inot listen to these foolish people who are tell- ing you to do as little as possible. It is not only morally and economically wrong, it is not only dishonest, but it must in the end react to ‘your disadvantage if you are going to say to your commpan we are going to demand the best from you without giving the best in return. The only position that can rightly be taken up is to demand the best for yourselves and say you jare prepared to give the best return for what is given to you. | “We have reached a stage where our prestige |stands high. We are looked upon as a great factor in the life of the community. That pres: itige is something to be safeguarded and pre- served. It is something that ought to enable every man to say, I am not only a member of a great union, I am not only a unit in a power- ful organization, but I am jealous of the pres- tige and honor of the society of which I am a |member; and any member who abuses his trust \not only shakes the confidence of the traveling |public in his industry, but he is doing something that is detrimental to the honor and prestige of his organization. “IT call upon the moral determination of every man to say, I am going to be proud of my due to the ‘ship early’ campaign carried on by the ra‘lways and many important organizations of shippers, last spring and summer. “The results secured by this ‘ship early’ campaign in 1923 have been so very great and important that they | should be emphasized with the ut- most possible force. “Among the most marked charac- teristics of the movement of freight business tn this country in previous years were the wide seasonal fluc- tuations in the volume of traffic. These resulted in a large part of the equipment of the railways being idle business handled was 45 per cent before, the net car shortage averag- weeks and at the end of October reached the record breaking figure of 175,523 cars. In the fall of 1923, after an almost uniform distribution of traffic throughout the yecr, there has been no car shortage at all. although in the first nine months of the year the business handled broke all records. “In view of past experience it is safe to say that the railways can in the spring and early summer months, and In traffic being poured upon them in a deluge tn the late, summer and fall months. ‘The usual! results In years of large traffic! were acute congestions and car shortages in the latter part of the ar, delays to shipments of all inds, large increases of railway operating expenses, general dis- + satisfaction and denunciations of the railway managements for ineffictent operation. “The best measure of the amount of freight service rendered in any given period is the number of tens moved each day over each mile of line. Analysis of the statistics dis- closes the following facts: In 1920 the maximum dafly business, which was handled in August, was 44 per cent greater than the minimum daily business, which was handled in April. In 1922, the difference be- tween the business handled daily in Horse Show Is Attraction at Big Stock Fete CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—A horse show arranged for tonight is to offer par ticular interest at the International Livestock exposition being held here. Judges in the grain and hay show held in connection with the exhib! tion decided that the best hay in the world was grown this year by Arthur Jewett Jr., of Mason, Mich - with existing facilities move an average of 6,000 tons over each mile of line daily when they have op- portunity to prepare for it. If they should be given opportunity to do this throughout an entire year, they could handle at least 10 per cent more freight business with exist’ng facilities than they have ‘handled in 1923. In proportion, however, as the uniformity with which business is given them {s reduced, the amount of business they can handle in an entire year will be reduced and the cost of handling !t increased.” CAMPAIGN FOR BRITISH VOTE NEARING CLOSE Stumping and Canvass- ing Reach Peak on Closing Day.

To be|to my employer, who is decent to me and to my|tmothy. The reserve championship parties in the last few days becomes — sure the only purpose in owning the wheat farm is for the purpose of raising wheat and the only reason for raising wheat is that it may be sold and a profit upon its culture derived. The only purpose in owning a coal mine is that coal may be mined therefrom, and the only purpose in mining that coal is that coal may le sold to someone at a profit. Mr. B. who owns that coal mine, is under no possible obli- gation to mine the coal, and having mined that coal, he is under no possible obligation to dis- pose of it except upon terms that are satisfac- tory to himself. These conditions must prevail under any well regulated government which undertakes to protect the rights of property, and without pro- tection to the rights of property there can be no government. It seems high time that the public mind shall drift back to fundamental principles. The ex- istence of government depends upon its power to tax the property of individuals, in order that such government may be provided with the funds necessary to its existence. The power to tax exists only in government and its exercise is based upon ownership in property, a right which must be protected in order to protect itself. The right of an owner to the proper use of his prop- erty is supreme subject to the power of govern- ment to tax. Having satisfied the demands of government, the rights of the owner are sacred. He may raise wheat or he may allow his lands to remain fallow. Having raised wheat he may store it for future use or he may dispose of it by mutual agreement with another who pays him the price he is willing to accept. He cannot be required to dispose of his property except upon terms to which he consents. If the price is right, or, in other words, if the prop- erty is worth more to the purchaser than to the owner, he consents to a transfer of the property and there is no other theory upon which he may be renuired to dispose of it. In other words, price is the only incentive by which an owner max be induced to part with his property. <A government, as such, may take it away from him throngh taxing power, but no other person has a right to divest him of his ownership. Unele Eben, on the eastern shore, may need a horse to plant his tobacco crop. Mr. Sin- clair Whitney in his nearby stable may own a horse which is being pampered until the next racing season. A horse is an absolute neces- sity to Uncle Eben if he is to raise a crop and provide a living for his family next winter. Does that necessity justify Uncle Eben in in- sisting upon his right to. purchase-at a fair farm horse price the racing horse from the Sinclair Whitney stable because of his personal necessity? An affirmative answer would be and I myself will provide the check against attacks on the industry. That is the moral safeguard which should be taken. That is the kind of thing we want established in the railway service. /union, Selective Immigration Instead of approaching the immigration question from a business standpoint it has been dragged into politics and has therefore been made a bone of contention, and so long as it is permitted to be a political question we can hope for no satisftory settled policy with ref- erence to it. Can anyone see anything wrong with con- ‘sidering the matter of immigration from the ‘standpoint of business needs of the country? We have our representatives in all foreign nations whose business it is to look after Am- erican interests. If manufacturing plants in New England, cotton growers in the the mountain states or lumbermen on the Pacific Coast need labor when there is none available in this country, why should they not he allowed to consider availing themselves of idle workmen in other nations? Supposing a mine operator needs fifty em- ployes; supposing fifty farmers need one hun- dred farm hands. Let them state their needs to the United States Department of Labor, which, in turn, would advise our representative in the foreign country from which the character of help desired could be most readily secured. Let our foreign representatives advertise or communicate with workmen who might wish to come to this country; require these workmen to furnish a record of their past employment and associations; pick the desired number and send them to the United States with a ticket to the point of destination. The farmer of manufacturer who receives these laboring men should sign a contract guar. anteeing to employ them at a stipulated wage for not less than one year. These immigrants shoulde be required to report to the state au- thorities at specific times in the section where |they are employed and after a certain number jof years should become American citizens or |be deported to their native land. The question of securing common labor in the jfactories and on the farms is becoming a real problem in this nation. Instead of dumping ithe skum of Europe into New York City where it is left to shift for itself, a policy of this character would restrict immigration ta the |needs of the nation. No man could afford to jcontract to employ help for a year unless he ac- tually needed it. It would give us a better went to Charles H.
