Too many Americans have forgotten the art of conversation. Time was, before the dancing craze came in, when you “just ‘sat around and ‘ at almost any informal party—and had a good time, we're too nervous. “What'll we do tonight?” became a universal query—and got so that we aren’t happy unless we're doing something. Our hosts are very strict church people—they don’t dance or play cards and they even ob- serve the prohibition law—and it looked like a pretty dull evening ahead of us.

A minority of coal operators are in control with respect to the coal situation, They are ied by the company formerly substantially owned by Mr. Harding's secretary of the treasury, Mr. Mellon. A company which is dominant in the great Pittsburg district and which ts now officered and operated by the friends and associates of Mr. Mellon, The policy of the radical rall- road executives; the policy of the - radical coal operators, is to “let them simmer.” That means no compromise; no settlement. It means to wait un- til the men ore worn down and one by one return to work. Added to the coal and railroad radicals is another well-defined group of employer radicals which completes the unholy trinity, It is that definite, closely organized group of employers who either have stocks on hand or seasonal markets, or even surpluses of cash which they are ready to sac rifiee to the cause and who are willing, while things are “simmer- Ing down” to close down their fac- tories, stop their payrolls and In turn add their employes to those who “simmer.” So then a parbotied public Is to “simmer” until it shall tender. The “simmering” process ts a quiet and not spectacular one, but if the “simmering” public should boil over—nand there are only a few degrees of brat be- tween “simmering” and “boiling” —some soft, white hands would bo stained with Innocent blood.
