T is now too late for the Government to prevent a coal strike, which it might have done had it used its powers as in the threatened railroad strike. Rut it is not too late to take some constructive ‘staps. As the matter stands now, the chief need is for a settlement, a good settlement—good for the owners and operators, good for the miners and good for the public. A settlement is not impossible if it is approached with intelligence, vigor and determination It is not a simple problem. Intelligence and information are needed. For the gathering of the information a commis- sion such as is recommended by the Bland resolu- tion now before the House Labor Committee essential. Faced with a similar problem, Great Britain appointed the Sankey committee. The investiga- tion in Great Britain was thorough, but it was con- ducted so expeditiously that a report was made before public interest grew stale The United States needs something of the sort The public needs to know what is wrong and what will right the wrongs. But once we have such an investigation, we * need a change of heart and a stiffening of back- bone in Washington. ‘it was a shameful confession Secretary Davis made yesterday when he said “the Government is powerless to prevent.” Worse yet, this confession was not true. The Government has ample powef to prevent. What it seems to lack is will, determination and vigor. is ‘The Government of Northern Ireland has signed with the Government of Southern Ire- Fs land an agreement to co-operate in every way for the restoration of peace. That is excellent. . But the fundamental question, Governments aside, is, How many Irishmen are willing to practise individual self-denial and stop fight- « ing long enough to give peace a chance? SELF-CLASSIFIED. GCG MILLER should sign the bill requiring the bonding of taxi drivers. One object of the bill is to make it possible to recover damages in taxi accidents. The more im- portant end in view is to make drivers more care- ful. Surety companies will examine drivers before going on their bond. A driver who has repeated accidents will soon find that the sureties will either refuse bonds or demand prohibitive fees. Bonding the drivers will weed out the reckless in- competents. The objection most likely to weigh with Gov. Miller, we imagine, is the charge that the bill is class legislation because it does not require bonds ~ for all drivers of automobiles In a way, the bill is class legislation. But the classification was not made by the Legislature. It was made from the accident record of the New York City streets. The number af accidents in proportion to the number of taxicabs operated is far and away greater than in the case of privately operated cars, Their own carelessness and indifference have class- ified the taxi drivers. ‘It is from this that the public requires the small measure of protection afforded by this bill “No one knows the perils of alcoholism bet ter than the psychiatrist,” says Dr. Stewart Paton, lecturer on neuro-biglogy at Princeton University, “hut the prohibitive attitude toward life fs one of much greater danger, For example, the prohibitive attitude toward life can completely ruin spirit of a free people. the character and TRUCKWAYS. HE State of Connecticut is considering the construction of a State highway from Green- i wich to Bridgeport to be devoted exclusively tos motor truck traffic It is a step in the right direction year ‘Within ten iL is certain we shall have many such roads. The Connecticut road will be extended to New York and to Boston, Another road will traverse ¢ New Jersey, connecting New York and Philadel- phia.

Tke truck 1s doing mrich that the railroad has done and is doing it better. The same business principles point to roads better adapted to truck traffic. WHO'LL PLOT IT? AYOR HYLAN is back from Chicago full of jump and ginger. With his strong right arm he promptly vetoes bills passed by the Legislature increasing patrol- men’s and firemen’s salaries. “Just a little game of politics played to embarrass me,” notes Hiz- zoner, already embarrassed enough by the stern dictate of conscience which forced him to sign the bill boosting his own salary from $15,000 to $25,000. At the same moment a “joker” in the Steinberg bill catches his eagle eye A measure that puts the licensing of taxicabs under the control of the Police Department fails to give Commissioner Enright power straightway to throw out John Drennen, present capable and experienced head of this Licensing Bureau. Why plainly, if John Drennen can only be fired for cause, John Drennen becomes a “Czar! What's the use of a measure that doesn’t permit Enright to bounce John Drennen at once and put in an Enright serf? room for? Yet he has come back not wholly a chiding Mayor. He has smiles, too, for his people and new plans for the big pier at Coney Island. What he hasn’t got for them is the thing they need most urgently—sane co-operation with the Transit Commission in pushing the transit plan The biggest hope of transit relief yet offered to New York—and the Mayor of New York. still planted like a stubborn mule in the path! Somehow we feel that the Mayor's obstinacy in this direction is now more habit than anythir else. [le doesn’t see any dignified way to break it. Who's clever enough to plot a curve around which John F. Hylan can swing majestically into line with the Transit Commission and have it look like a triumphal progress? As a preliminary transit engincering feat, such a curve would be worth a substantial prize offered by public spirited citizens Who'll plot it?
