FENCOURAGING NEWS, | News comes continually of better | signs in the coal and railroad troubles There have been so many ‘“settle- | ments'" and ‘“agreements,” and so much discussion as to how many roads have participated, and how | many miners are at work, that the | average person is confused and un-| certain just what the prospects for | the immediate future are. | In regard to coal there is one thing | to be remembered—it will he scarce It is good to mnote that the Lehigh | Valley road has announced that 35,-| 222 tons of anthracite from mines | along its route were started off to| distributing points Iriday of last week, which amount is only some- thing like 5,000 tons less than the amount similarly started out a year | ago; it is good to note news from | Washington that loadings of umm-;p} | cite continue to increase daily. These things bring encouragement, but they do not change the situation that makes worthy of decided emphasis the communications from the state | fuel distribution commission to coal | | dealers of the state—communications | ..of importance not only to the dealers | bu to consumers. | For when dealers, in endeavor | to obey the suggestions of the fuel | commission, refuse to grant requests | of consumers there will be unpleas- | ant discussions which may be avoided only by thorough co-operation te- tween consumers and dealers. A dealer's busin is dependent some- | what upon the good will of his cus-| tomers. If the customers do not co- operate in meeting this disagreeable | situation there will be a transferring of that good will or a loss of it. It s for that reason that attention is| called to the orders of the commis- | sion published in Saturday's Herald, If consumers know just how much | coal they will be allowed it will them inconvenience, and it wi much unpleasantness if they make their arrangements in accordance | with this knowledge Dealers are asked by the commis- slon to make no deliveries of anthra- cite to anyone prior to November 1| except domestic users and others re- quiring it for cooking, and these de- | liveries are not to exceed | The dealers are asked to unolad an- ‘thracite within twnty-four of | its arrival | This is the order to be observed im- mediately. and a refr to disrega the greatest number of people and will do much to relieve the situation news of coal come, may not prove two tons. hours Prompt action by dea ining from asking dealer: these requests will bring | benefit to the greatest present disagreeable which, if the encourageing shipments continue to serious as an- ticipated. But only strict chedience to the requests of the fuel commission as they are issued from to time will suffering prevent discomfort which might time and perhaps be avoided THE POWER OF ONE MAN Henry Ford poses as a friend of the working man. He long ago adopted a universal wage scale giving every man who worked for him the minimum pay of five what seemed to be his workers and he has gained popu- however, it He has shown dol a day consideration for larity with them. Now, seems he will carry out his threat to close his factories, to use no more violent expression, of | He sz to the disc rum!‘orl,i some 100,000 men ays it is a | protest against the high prices of coal | and steel. He would probably, | that in the end all the people profit by his protest. In other words | he is taking a step to gain a benefit for the people at future, to put the best possible light on the the expense hundred thousand workers now when tndustrial peace is to be desired above all things. No one questions Henry Ford's abil- ity in his own sphere. But anyone may question judgement when a broad un- derstanding of industrial conditions is necessary. Whether results lower hence, there is no question as to the added problem his He has denounced Wall street as the inspiration of wtrikes. If Wall street ‘eares a great deal what Henry Hord says Wall street will not like this fmtemont. He is reported to have as- ‘erted that Wall street and the labo!

There is no desire to advocate such a | corporation would be were it to take | statement of no less an authority than Lord Robert Cecil who has said that he personally had been made aware of the discovery, since the war, of a scientific means for the almost complete extermination of whoie na- | tions at a time.

He hae et an example which, if followed by | would no manufacturers, There other great bring serious signs yet, it is good to see, that other results, are manufucturers are inclined to follow that example Ford's attitude always has been against the power of Wall Street, What may be sald now against the power he holds? When it is possible for the word of one man to throw 100,000 out of work a duty devolves upon that one man to considet the welfare of those 100,000 as well @ his own. It is impossible to follow the one hand he talks of friendliness and consideration for working men and with the other signs an order throw- ing @ multitude of them out of em- ployment The Kansas Industrial Relations court compelled employers to keep their milfs running as long as they could do so without a loss. This was policy a manufacturer of something other than a necessity. in the case of But Henry Ford would do well to contemplate that decision as to what effect the shutting down of a great | industry r v have and the court's at- titude toward such action. Mr. Ford is | not criticized as severely as a great | similar action—because Henry Ford has done it. It is regrettable to say the least, to see such power in the | hands of one man where that one man, despite his past apparent consid- eration for others, is too short-sighted to see the logical results of his action. ANNIHILATION Now will come violent assertion by some new group of people who will| declare that the ‘‘end of the world" will not come in the way vaguely ex- some, but that it will come through total annihilation of ail hu- beings when the last is The basis of this theory that may spring up at any moment, is the pected by man war waged ment that the committee on disarma- ment ¢t the League of Nations would rely to all the people the horror that might be ex- pected from development of chemicals scientific to safeguard the world from such horrors, rather than on an attempt to suppress the use of them on making known and weapons, In other words the committze feels that chemicals and scientific weapons will be_ developed, no mattes how | stringent are the laws against such | practice.

Nearly half that power, on incomes over $1,000, comes from the wages and salaries paid, As the country has passed through a period of unemployment, and “in spite of the strike and labor unrest there {s relatively little unemployment at present,” and as the employed fur- nish nearly half of the country's pur- | chasing power, the result comes with the drop of the cost in living and the increased amount of work offered, that a majority of the wage earners are being turned into “ready buyers."

THE WEATHER. | ‘We are thorough believers in the theory that things even themselves, up pretty well. A run of bad luck is pretty apt to be followed by plenty of good fortune, that we are most beautiful fall and early winter the New Britain man, woman or child has known. This does not indicate by any means that the New Britain summer has been awful—far from it. No New Britain summer could be awful, But there has been a lack of that certain continued stretch of glorious weather upon which one could count, which has left the impression that| the summer was not quite up to the mark in some ways, and yet, bcause of the fact that we have not suffered from prolonged great heat, it has been pleasant in other ways. All of which brings us back to the prediction that the next three months will be quite wonderful. Today is a sample. For the general encourage- ment of those easily affected by the weather; for the sake of strengthen- ing people in their determination to make business plans which are more or less dependent for their success upon continued good weather, and for the sake of passing on the pleas- ure resulting from the “hunch"” we have, we wish to go on record that this fall and early winter will be about as good a time to do a hig business and to enjoy life in New Britain as any within recent years. It is just a hunch, perhaps, but it is worth playing. Facts and Fancies (BY ROBERT QUILLEN). Mr. Ford may shut down, but never up. After a vacation is spent, the va- catfonist usually is.

BACK, 15 CLAIM Some Roads—fiM()lved Prob- lem by Forming New Unions Chicago, Sept. 18—With numerous railroads of both eastern and western groups continuing to ignore the so- called Baltimore settlement plan sev- eral other roads, including a few big systems today restored jobs under the Warfield-Jewell truce to shopmen who quit their posts 80 days ago. Estimates on the numbers of strik- ers taken back into the shops vary. Some rail and union officials placed the number as high as 50,000, Among the roads which accepted the Baltimore plan for settlement of the strike were the Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul, the Chicago and Northwestern, the Baltimore and cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Qma- ha and the Green Bay and *Westérn. Roads announcing they had solved their shop problems through employ- ment of new men and former strik- | ers previously taken back and organ- ized into new shop unions included the Chicago and Alton, the Illinois Central, Chicago, Great Western, Northern Pacific and Union Pacific. Bert M. Jewell, head of the shop| crafts organization, and the shop-! men's representative in framing the| peace terms, hastened to New York | vesterday when the plan struck the| snags of eastern opposition, notably on the N. Y. Central lines, which formed one of the big systems includ- ed among those expected to accept the settlement plan. The situation on the N. Y. Central | lines was caused, it was explained, by demands “f strikers in addition to the original peace terms. Similar de- mands prevented settlements on the Southern railway. Mr. Jewell’s mis- | sion was understood to be for the| purpose of straightening out matters | with these roads. Precautions were taken at the C. M. and St. P. and Northwestern shops to prevent a recurrence of Saturday's| disorders which grew out of demands| by returning strikers that former | shop foremen be restored to bosses Jobs. Raillroads which refused to enter the Baltimore agreement insisted to- day that they are daily increasing the number of new employes and that | conditions are steadily improving. HALLER CO.

The plants employ about 3,000 persons normally.
