The experiment which begins in Indiana today of state operation of coal mines will be watched with keen interest throughout the country. While the experiment is not on a scale to make an appreciable difference in the total coal output, it will be a demonstration of the practicability of state operation which may have an important bearing on the future. Thessurrounding circumstances are such that the test will as to whether coal can be mined at all, not as to how cheaply it can be mined. As a of fact, any coal pro- duced by the two mines Gov. McCray has taken over is likely to come s0 high as to make the most conscience- less profiteer look like a piker. Aec- rding to press dispatches, 800 state wops are to guard the two mines, which are rated as having capacity to produce 18,000 tons a month. To produce 18,000 tons of coal a month would require the fulltime employ- matter ment of only about 200 miners, so that for every man engaged actually in the digging of coal four men would be required to%guard him. That is ‘ulated to make the “overhead” production run up into pretty stff figu The Ind a governor has appealed to miners who have been on strike to return to these mines and operate them under state auspices and state protection, but it is intimated that if the strikers fail to respond to the call other men will be found to take their pi As these new men would not likely be skilled miners, a larger number of them would be required operate the mines to their full capacity, and costs would be still fur- ther enhanecd. On the whole, therefore, the Indiana undertaking is more interesting as an experiment than promising as a solu- tion of the fuel problem. If state op- cration of the mines cannot be made a success the sooner that fact is de- termined the better. Failure now would be less serious in consequences than failgre a few months hence. cal ces.

A 100 per cent walkout of traction: employes occurred in Chicago Mondgy night. Tu y i ur face and elevated line was idle. Twen- ty-five theusand operatives had quit work simultaneously. They undoubt- edly expected that their action would tle Chicago into a hard knot of con- fusion and delay and loss and.that the people would immediately demand resumption of service through a grant of concessions by the companies. On the contrary, with a remarkable re- silience Chicago adjusted itself and there was no knot. Thousands of motor vehicles, small cars, big cars and trucks, were pressed into service. | “Lines” of them were organized. The people, knowing that the strike was at hand, started early to go to work, and though there was some confysion in the downtown district for a few hours, the average of business forces for promptness was as good as ever. with even greater facility. Yesterday, the $ecdnd day of the strike, with more transport equipment and better traffic rules, the people were moved to and from business still more ef- ficiently. ‘True, this service costs the people a little more than usual.

A material factor in the hastening of this approach toward agreement is the propositioh of the mayor to spend $30,000,000, which he has at his disposal for transportation purposes, in the purchase of municipal { busses to be operated on fixed lines by the city. This may be done any- way, whatever the agreement. There are two lessons in this Chi- cago situation. One is that the street railway strike is no longer certain to tie up the public and make it a party to the controversy by hamper- ing its movements. The other is that the independent motor unit is men- acing the fixedline transport. This| is the motor age and every large ci has enough combustion engine ve- hicles available to move the people in their daily requirements.

Alexander Graham Bell. Washington mourns the death of Alexander Graham Bell because hel had made this city his home for many vears. But Mr. Bell was in the broad- est sense an American citizen at large and through his contributions to sci- entific developments a universal bene- factor, so that his passing is an occa- sion of general bereavement. It is difficult to estimate the full value of Alexander Graham Beil's chief invention, that of the telephone. So fully has it entered into the daily lives of the people, so intimately is it a part of the business of the world today, that it is rated as a common- place. Yet well within the memory of many now living the telephone was a startling innovation, a novelty almost unbelievable. Within less than half a century the phone has de- veloped from a “scientific toy” to an essential daily existenc The story of Mr. Bell's experiments and indefatigable labors in the per- fection of his device is highly ro- mantic. He was inspired by faith in the principles which he sought to utilize in the development of an ap- paratus that would carry the human voice by means of an electric con- ductor just as Morse had worked out a few decades earlier a system of electric signals by wire to transmit there were messages. Singularly, llhose in the seventies who derided the possibility of vocal transmission and who looked, indeed, upon the tele- phone in its early demonstration as a fake, a trick. But skepticism soon { vielded to proof. ot even the inventor of the tele- phone foresaw -the full po: its development. to the point of cross-{ ling the continent with human speech. Nor today is it easy to look back to the first stage of the telehene and realize the lack of this facility. Mr. Bell's work on the telephone was not his sole scientific i t. however. {He was an enthusiast on the subject lof aviation amd contributed valuably | {to the development of the plane. { {Many other important achievements { | were scored by him.

Some senatorial composer will per- | haps write a song entitled “The End | | of the Longest Dag™ in celebration of | !the close of the’ most protracted | formal session of the upper house of,! { Congress recorded in history. Maybe {the strains of that composition will | i resound through the vears to come.! | Yesterday came the end of April 20. | The calendar, it is true, said August {2, but the Congressional Record said April 20, and that settled it. For it iwas on the 20th of April when the {chaplain of the Senate made his last prayer, and the Senate, like the | House, goes on the ratio of cne prayer a day. This was not because the! { chaplain was not on the job, but be-| cause the job had sidestepped him. For on the 20th of April the leaders on the republican side concluded that the only way to get the “tariff bill passed before frost was to hold the Senate ‘in continuous “legislative” session. As a practical matter that is supposed to facilitate legislation be- i in theory eliminates all other business but the bill' in hand. In actual prac- tice, however, it does nothing of the sort, because miscellaneous business is still transacted, the bill in hand is laid out of hand from time to time and meanwhile the debate proceeds without limits of time or of subject. Yesterday's adjournment, the' first in/ {to let the scienti reached the Senate yesterday would have changed the time-honored for- mula and merely taken a recess in respect to the departed senator. So the legislative day of April 20 passes into history, the longest on record, and, save for a few bits of legislative miscellany and the essential appro- priation bills, in proportion to its length the least productive. A Probable Conference. In ten days the House reassembles and then both wheels of the legisia- tive mill on Capitol Hill will be turn- ing. How long will they continue to turn? A joint conference of House and Senate will probably be necessary to decide the question. The campaign and election day are in everybody's mind and calculation. uccess at the polls in November oversnadows every other .considera- tion. Candidates for seats in the next Congress want to win. Many nominations have been made and eampaigns are in progress. Some of the most important, however, will not be made until next month. The two leading parties in New York will not make their pronouncements until near October 1. The congressional cacd is in a state of confusion. Some jtems are in process of treatment. Others have yet to be taken up. All could not possibly be disposed of in a month and a half, and Congress sitting through October is not at present among the suggestions. Which items, therefore, should be marked “must”? Which should be postponed until the short session or left as a legacy to the next Congress. A conference with these questions before it will have business of so much importance to transact its ses- slon jons will for the time monopolize the spotlight. ————————— A motion picture promoter proposes a laugh week as a national institu- tion.

Within the last two or three months, however, numerous port- handers have made their appearance on the links and a goodly proportion of them play an excellent game.

There should, however, be a rule, or if there is one it should be enforced, to confine instruction les- sons to certain localities and hours. Nelther of the pleasure spots should be used as a training ground for mo- torists during the time when people are out for an afternoon or evening spin. It might however be an excellent idea to set aside certain of the city's thoroughfares for instruction grounds and to compel those who desire licenses for driving cars to pass thorough and practical tests.

That some positive step has become neces- sary is generally recognized, and the Interstate Commerce Commission’s priority order, the New York Globe thinks, will “strike the average man as the least the government could do the present emergency. But objection is raised that it is only a palliative which does not af- fect the issue. Indeed. as some writers view it, such governmental action makes the fundamental prob- lem even more difficult to meet, by producing a temporary sense of se- curity which will increase the tend- ency to drift without bringijpgs both the rail and the coal strike t& a defi- nite head.

He was travelirg to New York on a hot day and, like numerous of the men in the chair car, had removed his coat for comfort, and, like the others, he had on a very presentable and clean shirt, wore no suspenders, his trou- sers being held in place by a belt, and while he did not enjoy all the com- forts of a cool costume such as the ladies in the car wore, low necks and short sleeves, he was far more com- fortable and quite as modestly garbed as If he had worn his coat. When he visited that always in summer hot place the diner, the steward advised him that it was against the rules of the railroad company for a man to appear sans coat. Several ladies kindly volunteered the information that they saw nothing objectionable if he ate without being made uncom- fortable by a hot coat.

There are embarrassments ahead for this Chicago man, but duuhlleu‘% he has brought punishment on him- self. His wife says so. He has, to be sure, what some may regard as a mitigation of his sentence in the fact that the-court issued another injunc- tion, this one forbidding his mother- in-law from visiting his house or in- i terfering with his affairs. But the fact remains that if any lady wishes to put a check on the volatility of her husband and can find a complai- sant magistrate, there could _hardly be a more effective way.
