Daily and Sunds* ‘1 + Daily only’ Threat of Coal Strike. | As the days pass and April 1 ap- Pproaches with its menace of a possible strike of miners in the soft coal fields, the country looks with increasing in- terest upon plans to avert a calamity and to ameliorate its effect if it is pre- «ipitated. Acting upon Instructions from President Harding, Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor is seeking ‘to get the miners and opera- tors into a joint conference before the end of this month, out of which might come a gettiement. There are plans for district conferences and for a four- state conference, but there are many embarrassments threatening frustra- tion. Today’s dispatches report that the executive board of Illinois miners will meet next Wednesday to determine ac- ceptance or rejection of the invitation of the Illinois operators ‘to confer. President Farrington of the Tllinois mine workers is willing to meet the operators, but has been given instruc- tions to the contrary by President Lewis of the United Mine Workers. ‘The general belief is that a general canference agréement is the only hope <f preventing a strike. In the meantime, industries are or- ganizing in efforts to lay in stocks of coal before the strike may come, so that industry will not be halted. The National Association of Manufactur- ers, the American Street Railway As- soclation, the National Electric Light Association and other organizations have organiged a fuel committee to see that industries are adequately stocked with coal, and that a depend- able source of supply can be main- tained. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States is also Interesting jtseff in the undertaking to warn.the public to put in coal while it is ob- tainable. All authorities agree that if a strike does come it will be an epochal strug- gle between the operators and the miners, with the public bearing the brunt of the effects. So it behooves the public to protect itself as well as it can. The Second Conduit. It is said by men in Congress who claim that they can read the future that the appropriation for starting work on @& mew conduit from Great Falls, which was put in the District appropriation bill in the Senate, is go- ing to be agreed to in the House. This is a pleasant prophecy, and ff"hoping that it will come true will help it, it will be helped. Water ought to -come down from Great Falls faster than the population of Washington needs it for drinking, washing and putting out fires. It ought to come down fast enough for these purposes and also for furnishing foun- tains with a spray and also for sprin- kling lawns. It ought to come down by two routes or conduits, so that one may be examined and repaired, if need be, while the other works. The water supply of a great city ought not to depend on a single pipe. Conduits can- not work on forever without repairs, and conduits may—or shall it be writ- ten “must”?—break down at some time. A city of people working at a thou sand and one jobs, paying all the taxes that are piled upon them, and trying out all kinds of governing innovations suggested from the Golden Gate to Hell Gate, are entitled to a safe and ample water supply. —————————— President Harding continues to in- sist that dependence on the mechani- cal operations of government should never become so great as to preclude & certain "amount of consideration for the human element, P —— A willingness to spend as much for ships of commerce a&s has been spent on ships of war ought to enrich the werld to & very considerable extent. Spring styles are being displayed, not only in hats and gowns but also in snow shovels. ————t——————— Botanic Garden. The main thing in the matter of national botanic garden is to have :one. The matter of the placement of the garden is one on which many men interested in such things disagree, but such disagreement is due to a desire to have a garden which will be a ui- versity for persons interested in plant jife and plant forms, and a garden which will be as handsome, repre- sentative and instructive as botanic gardens in other cities and countries. ‘Various experts have wanted as a site for a botanic garden a tract of land having hill and valley, meadow and ravine slopes that face north, east, south. and west and divers kinds of soil. Various tracts in the District have been favored at one time or ai other. Once it was proposed that the reciaimed flats and river shallows which we call Potomac Park should be a site for a national botanic garden. The Rock Creek valley parkway to connect Potomac Park and the Zoo has been spoken of. Proposils have been made to transierm & tract in up- per Rock Creek Park into a mational garden and arboretum. And, later, e tract of tall hills, deep ravines, meadow and stream-veined land be- tween the Washington-Baltimare road -and the Eastern branch was favored. Tiber creek ‘following the course of James creek and entersd the Eastern branch between -(ireenleat and Buz:| 'zards’ points. There was 'a fork or spur of this canal which branched to the ‘southeast at about South Capitol 1ard T streets and entered the Eastern branch at the site of the sewerage Pumping station at the foot of 24 street southeast. Then, there are other parcels of government land in those sections of the city which were reserved in laying out the capital which it is intended to include in the new Botanic @arden. The Capitol grounds and the unimproved land ‘be- tween the Capitol and Union station ‘will become purt of the garden if the présent plan s carried through. Thie is not the character of site {which has been soyght heretdfore by projectors of a national botanic garden ! and the effect of the plan ‘will be to scatter the garden over a wide extent of the city and not to provide the di- versity of soil and situation considered as desirable. There is one feature of the plan which appeals strongly to & part ‘and perhaps the whole of the city's population. 1t is that it would jadd attractiveness to older sections of the city in the southwest and south; {east—sections that have not been par- 'Ii ularly favored with park and other J&-i\'ic improvemepts since Washington took up its remarkable growth nerth- ward from the Potomac and the East- ern branch. ———————— The Senate and Immigration. The immigration committee of the Senate ‘will begin consideration ‘this week 0f the House bill extending for, another year the 3 per cent quota law. There is some sentiment in the Sen- ate in favor of stronger legislation. Mr. Harris of Georgia has proposed a total suspension of immigration for five years. It is not known if the proposition will be pushed, or. if it is pushed, what chance of success’it may have, or if it passes the Senate what ! chance it may have of acceptance by the House in place of the latter's own proposition. Interest in this subject at this time proceeds from two sources—uneniploy- ment In this country, and the unrest in Europe which is setting great num- bers of people, some of a shady sort. on the move. Our unemployment problem is not as grave as when Congress enacted the 3 per cent limitation measure. | Still, it remains grave, and while it re- jmuins so the tide of newcomers should remain limited. As' for the unrest in Europe, that seems to be increasing. All classes feel it and show it. strongest among those who, possessing little of the world's goods, are of an adventurous nature. They are the readiest to pull up stakes and seek a new location, and they include many not at all desirable as citizens of America. The watch at the gates should be ex- tremely vigilant at this time, and all undesirables kept out. Too many per- sons of that sort are now in the coun- try adding to our tribulations. ————— The Western Hemisphere. Ambassador Le Breton of Argentina delivered an address in New York Sat- urday on the occasion of the sailing of la new ship on her first trip in the passenger service to South American ports. Urging an expansion of travel between North and South America in interests political, social and economic. the ambassador said that “‘nothing dis- pels prejudice and erroneous impres- sions more quickly than a personal visit, however brief. When thousands of Americans of the morth are ac- cuainted with those of the south—and this works both ways—the task of the diplomat in bringing them together will be easier.” Europe remains a great lure. Amer- icans familiar with the continent from rast visits. when they saw it in condi- tions of prosperity and happiness, want to see it now and note the havoc that war has wrought, while those who have never seen it have read so much about the war's scars and de- structions. they want to inspect for | themselves the frightful ravages de- scribed. But Central and South America beckon as mever before. The war did not touch them except at a long distance and in an indirect way. They are whole and sound, and should be objects ef our active and sincere in- terest. We should do all in our power, indeed, to cultivate a closer acquain- tance with them, and thereby strength- en the western hemisphere in the world equation. 1t is ws Senor Le Breton points out. Visiting between the peoples of the two continents will make them better acquainted with éach other, and the better acquainted they become the bet- ter thé interests of both will be served. The man who sees selfish politics in every action or sentiment is one of the greatest nuisances genuine states- ‘manship has. to contend with. Arguments are still going on eut ih Illinois to convince the voters that TUncle Joe Cannon really does not wish them to vote for him. Lenin and Trotsky are suspected ot preparations to leave Russia; that is to say, to leave what is left of it. - It is hard for any man to be a con- sistent Iirreconcilable without appear- ing e trifie lonesome at times. Breckinridge Long recently an- nounced for the Senate. He {s one of the leading Wilsonites in Missouri, and was an assistant secretary of state un- der the second Wilson administration. Gpinion is that the Wilson influence will go to him in the contest for the democretic nomination. Senator Reed wants another term, and is preparing to make a vigarous primary campaign. Two years ago he was at loggerheads with the Missouri demogracy on the subject of the league of nations. He tried to “show™ it that the league was not the right sort of 1t is, of course, ‘Wilson league. If ‘fermer Gov. Folk is thinking of lentering the contest he has ndt yet put his ‘head out. For some years he has cherished an ambition to occupy @ seat Intire Benate, and tried his luck with- out success against Mr. Spencer in the Imtter's first race. s Nor has anything yet been heara from or mbout former €ov. Fygancls, ‘Who returned homie from Russia some- what the worse physically Tor his ex- i perience as ambassador to the cmrist government, and, of course, found his occupation gone when that govern- ment was overthrown. At one time he was suspected of an ambition to be : senator. But even if only Mr..Long and Mr. Reed contest, the democratic primary will be ‘worthy of outside attention. —————— Adjourmment. The republican leaders in Congress, it is stated, have abundoned hope of adjournment in June. "They tre now proposing early July. | They will be well advised if upon { further thought they tarn their backs jon both the clock and the calendar. i’l‘he poiut is to do in a satisfactory rather than an expeditious way what- ever work is properly on the card. There is an urge which has its root in the elections. Senators and repre- sentatives who are candidates to suc- ceed themselves want to get into ac- tion and take charge of their cam- palgns as soon as possible. A natural wish, but there is some- thing highér. And that something is such transaction of the public business as will advance public rather than pri- te interests. i Last year, at the special session, the republican leaders, finding the going a Iittle ‘heavy, knocked off for a rest of thirty duys. They got the rest, but paid dearly for it. When they re- .assembled and canvassed the situation they found the golng heavier than be- fore. And it is still heavy. He will serve his candidacy best who serves the public best. A repud- lican majority in the next Congress depends on the Tecord of the present session of this Congress: and, to be ef- fective, that record must not show either haste or slight in the making. Tt must pass under close scruthy when campaigning begins, and if it {fails to bear scrutiny those who have made it will pay the penalty. And the party's penalty will be a black eye for 1924. —_——— There is enough food distribution de- manded in various sections of the world to tempt Herbert Hoover to give his entire time to a work for which he is especially qualified, even at the risk of starting a resignation rumor in the cabinet. ————————— The work of hunting draft dodgers is to be vigorously carried on. The aa- nouncement quiets the apprehension that it would relapse into an ocea- sional order to page Grover Bergdoll. —_————— l Chicago packers have accumulated so many side lines that they are now being requested in the interest of ef- ificiency to stick to selling meat and not try to run a general store. S —— Mexico City has been without light and water owing to a strike. The re- tirement of Pancho Villa from politics has not sufficed to dispose of the prob- lems of unrest. . —_———— It is svident that Ambassador Har- vey mey rely on a highly attentive {audience on both sides of the water whenever he makes & speech. ————————— It John Barleycorn ever turms over to the United States Treasury what is due the conscience fund, the burden ot | taxes will be considerably lightened.

De- partment officers of thé District of Columbla, headed by Watson B. Mil- Ior, commender, are united in their efforts Yor this project and are backed by the efficers and members of the twenty-eight posts of the city. It Is belfeved at the leglon's head- ‘quarters, now held in a small room | on the Tourth floor of 1423 New York avenue, that such & bullding, whether ®rected as a war memorial to those who made the supreme Bacrifice, a victory memorial perpetuating the triumph of American arms on forelgn moil or a clubhouse where legion trophtes could be kept and meetings held, Is a mecessity in Washington and would enhance the interests and help to promulgate the Ideals of America’s foremost veteran organiza- tion. * % % ¥ At present the legion in this city numbers ebout 5,000 men, which is a row upon row, and today the post has a-fine home. Vancouver, Wash., a city of about 12,000, raised mearly $100,000 for the post home. It was first sald that it could not be done, but after persistent efforts of the legion members in that city a bond issue was made and real- ized by;nb“c subscription. Col . Lester Jones of the® geo detic mnd coast survey, former de- partment commander of the District, and called the “father” of the Amer- ican fon, is heartily in favor of erection of a bullding here. “There is practically not an available hall that can be secured whenever needed, suitable for holding the vetérans' meetings,” he said. “Nothing will tend to increase the Interest of the Veterans and citizens quicker than to have an adequate meeting place. The buflding should have ome floor of offices, another for a large audito- rium, and a third with small rooms, in which the posts could meet and call their own. Trophies and legion records and all the business of the headquarters could be transferred there.” Col. Jones also emphasized the fact that it would be a business investment for the merchants of the city. He stated that if such a proi- ect becathe a reality many of the legion’s convéntions would be held in this city,~and in all probability the rapid growth from the small number that applied for e charter more than three years ago while they were still in France. The legion in this city has grown, its posts are flourishing, but the membership would be greatly increased if @ home was proctred. The District had some 19,000 sons and daughters In the service, including the yeoman Fa und the marinettes, and 1t a real clubhouse could be had, the membership of the Ieglon un- doubtedly would be greatly increased. The po#ts now meet in widely scat- tered plates. Two or/three meet in the District building, 'Beveral at the present headquarters on New York avenwe, some in the New Ebbitt Hotel, som® at the various local clubs, ‘sonre the armory, and others in halls 4 clubs all over the city. Most places are inadequate. When dance or entertainment is to be held. permission has to be odtaimed from somre organisation or firm for use of a hall and & large fee paid. The need is apparent, but seldom recog- nived. * ® %% Those in charge at the present iheadquarters make the best of it, but feel humiliated when strangers finally struggle up the rickety, worn steps that lead to the Tourth floor and com- ment on the surroundings. Among the first things a visiting leglonnaire {does is to make a comparison between the Washington offices and the offices of his home town. There isn't really any comparison, it is just a pointing out of differences. The visitor asks “Why is it this way?” to which the man in charge can only answer, “I'll bite; why is it?” ‘The reason is hard to explain. Other cities by various means have erected splendid buildings for the legion. Small cities and towns have not been remiss. Funds have bee obtained in many ways. Some build ings have been erected through pub lic contrfbutions, others are gifts from rich merchants and other resi- dents, and still others are the result of appropriations. In Washington there have been ®0 many of these donations and gifts to every cause that the people look askance at the proposal of another.
