The United Community corporation will start its drive for funds for the organizations which compose it, next Monday. Attention is called to the brief summary of the character of work done by each of these organiza- tions as published in The Herald of yesterday. There is some confusion in the minds of people as to just what activities are indulged in by the var- jous welfare bodies in the city. A reference to this summary will make the matter clear and will enable peo- ple to understand the situation and appreciate the splendid benefits to be derived from the labors of these or- ganizations. The plan of the committee in charge of this drive to interest school children in the organizations by offer- ing prizes for the best essays on the work they do, is a wise one. If men and women of today had learned early in life of the various bodies of people in existence when they were young, devoted to good work, the habit of assisting in such good work now would come more naturally to them. To familiarize the school children in this matter now, as they must become familiar with this good work in or- der to write about it, i3 to assist the work not only now but in the future when these children who write of the fine things being done in the city to- day will be grown men and women able to materially assist future good work of the same character. The essays of the children will be read with interest and it is to be hoped that greater familiarity with the work of these organizations will inspire hearty, generous response to the call for financial help from those able to give it. THE COAL STl{IKI" The coal strike involving some 600,- 000 hard and soft coal miners has been called for March 31. The people at large refuse to become wildly ex- cited about it. Probably the nearness of the warmer has its psychological efect. ];ut the approach ‘of the warmer weather does not re- lleve the manufacturers to whose business the weather makes little dif- ference. The question is so vast, the reports so conflicting, that a counservative, wise discussion of the situation is im- possible in a few words. There is no doubt but that the apparently high wages of miners, as figured by the day give a wrong impression of what they recelve. When most of them work not more than 180 days in 3 year, although they are paid over $7 a day, it may be seen that they are not over- pald if the matter is viewed from the yearly wage standpoint. When, on the other hand, it is realized that the cost of coal to the consumer is about 70 per cent, for wages, it may be seen that the reduction necessary to facili- tate industry, must come in a reduc- tion of wage. It is sald that there is & great percentage of miners unem- ployad all the year around, the per- sonnel of the unemployed, number some 30,000 constantly chang- ing. Of course the ideal arrangement would be a more general distribution of the work of mining coal through- out the year, a more general buying of coal all through the year, and a consequent reduction in the number of miners. No one may honestly sug- gest the wisdom of abolishing miners’ unions, which have done much for the men-—and which action would be im- possibie, incidentally—and yet the fact is cited that operators employing | non-union men have prospered, have | experienced little or no troubhle, while | operators employing union men from whose wages about six cents a ton are deducted to go into the unions' trea- suries, have experienced all sorts trouble and are now facing the great strike. It is said there is coal in the country to carry it some fourteen weeks, al- ready mined. Eagerly the country waits for some method of arbitration | fwhich will make of practical use the fact which must be a fact, that proper distribution of work among a sufficient number of men, and among a number which is not more than sufficient, over the whole ¥ coupled with a general realization of the necessity of more regular, not gpasmodic buying by the consumer, will settle the always perplexing prob- lem. of ' i e AT P VOO b e e O R A ST PO T IS P SRR NS W S which | ‘ | condition created an emergency sufli- cient to permit the Legislature to re- | VERBAL time VIOLENCE, Borah sald in Some ago Senator “no harm™ the the there could he ascer- | taining publicly President’s opin to whether A Irour- | treaty ement, fon as propo Lansing United | had | was | Power wiped out the which the Ishil w by }.\:nm-:, recognized Japan in China, 1t pointed out that in the 1 “eertain interes here pome harm | might come suggestion to pan that some United States senators thought perhaps that the IFour-Power the treaty did The the volid, treaty or nine-power not wipe out such understanding suld that agreements were voided by the of course President promptly Lansing-Ishil or would be Inter in- | strument, | It is presumed that Senator Viorah that feels now when he reads what be stehographic . purports to répor of a speech of claring an understanding tween the United States and England, | according to the | ol | will be done.

The Herald in- sisted at the time that the “special emergency” did exist. It believed that the welfare of the people, their health, comfort and the situation generally in| the state demanded immediate relief. Yor the benefit of others who may have occasion to interpret the mean- ing of “special emergency,” attention is called to the decision of the United States Supreme Court declaring the New York State rent laws constitu- tional. In order to so hold the United States court had to decide that an emergency in the housing situation existed in New York State. This it decided. The matter is not mere d'lr-‘ ta; it is an essential part of the de- cision, hence applicable to the rnolmi | question. The prevailing opinion of the court says: “The warrant for this legisla- tive resort to the police power was the conviction on the part of the State Legislature that there existed in the larger cities of the state a social emergency caused by an insufficient supply of dwelling houses and apart- ments so grave that it constituted a gerious menace to the health, morality and comfort and even to the peace of a large part of the people in the state.” The opinion then refers “notorious fact that a grave problem has arisen from the insuffi- clent supply of dwellings in all large cities of this and other countries re- sulting frem the cessation of building activities incident to the war;” and cites reports of investigating commit- tees showing widespread distress, rent profiteering, eviction and abuse of legal process. The situation in New York State, therefore, was almost identical with that in this state. The United States Supreme Court has held that such in to social sort to the police power—the final resort of those who would right wrongs when all other means fail. Certainly by analogy, such a situation created a “special emergency” in this state which makes it eminently proper for the governor, not to resort to that extraordinary remedy of the power, but merely to call a special | session of the legislature that it may the circum- ct as it sees fit under ances. The value of this decision may be The comment of em- | realized in this state. made is for the purpose here phlmlzh\g again what constitutes | “special emergency,” in the hope that it will be recognized the next time an | Rhine Lot the | Thos, |cord with the | s | it possible, the | police > NEW BRITAIN DAILY HE e - bility the of fect will b that situation will arise, watehed with interest, have personah Americans strong ties, Certainly they mugt have creiet digtinet The has b on the American whieh | ed i atmosphere of the that attitude soldiers n unlike will be adopted by the soldiers of the | Tt be it be Coertainly it will he difterent. | allics may hetter; muy WOrse, luck of | the heen there There has heen a Rhine of the United States have It 18 'to be presumed that the feeling | men was not as latently hostile | pleasing news from the while men as will be that of the men of the al-| the Americans felt it and refused to allow The war Is over; probably petty fecling, national prejudice them capecially disagréeable to | about them.

This, of course, indicates that there will be no cessation in the advance-| ment of jitney transportation, which | has some bearing on the trolley fare matter of such vital interest to people | of this city. But the chief, happy be drawn from the news to which reference is made, is that motor tars presumably for both pleasure and business, are. being purchased more freely in Detroit. Decisions by people | to buy things which will give them greater pleasure and which will en- able them to handle more business may mean but one thing—evidences; more evidences that better times are in sight. says lines avings report—they are deduction to A WAR ECHO Arthur Train, lawyer and writer of note, wrote a story called “The Earthquake” ‘*showing altered of wealthy New Yorkers who began to appreciate that they should | save and economize while the war was in progress.

But it| is safe to assert that the popular ap; preciation of customary extravagances that came with the necessity for economy while the war was being fought has shown many formerly un- thinking people how there might be |a saving with no less of benefit. It is safe to say that the effect of the war- time economy, or slight retrenchment on the part of all, is still felt—and will be felt always.
