STIMATES of this vear's Federal deficit now E put it at $700,000,000 instead of $500,000,- 000. Revenues are running lower. Expenses are running higher. There are still nearly four months of the year in which the deficit total may grow. Yet to-day conferees of the two Houses of Con- gress are calmly considering a Soldiers’ Bonus Bill which would put an additional burden of $4,000,- 000,000 upon the country’s taxpayers. Senator Borah was right when he said: “I do not believe that the burdens already placed upon the people are so disturbing, so fruittul of diesatiefaction and discontent, as those burdens which present policies indicate are yet to come.” Nor will a Presidential veto of the Bonus Bill vestore popular confidence in a Congress so brazenly ready to bid for votes with billions of @ollars in future taxes at a moment when the books of the Federal Treasury show $22,000,000,- 000 of obligations and a mounting deficit.

TOO MUCH TO HOPE? AVE for the last formalities, the anthracite coal strike is settled. The miners go back to work at the old wage scale. The operators, “while still of the opinion that anthracite wages should be reduced,” never- theless yield “to the insistent appeals of the Pres- ident of the United States, the Senators from Pennsylvania and the public.” The last named now counts up its mercies— bending the while a thoughtful ear to the state- ments of both sides. The United Mine Workers, jubilant over what they call “a most decisive victory,” declare with pride: “The anthracite strike of 1922 will be recorded as the longest struggle in the history of the region. The great struggle of two decades ago lasted 154 days, while the present strike is now (Sunday) in {ts 167th day. ft is @ remark- able demonstration of the workers’ collective strength, exercised under adverse conditions and against tremendous/odds.” Glorious! One hundred and fifty-seven days —it will probably be nearer 170—~of suspended coal production, 30,000,000 tons of hard coal lost, exhausted reserves and impending coal famine, all for what? To bring operators who wanted wages reduced 20 per cent. and miners who wanted wages raised 20 per cent. to an agreement not to change wages at all before March | next! The country’s hard coal surplus swept away, | with winter only a few months ahead—and the public is asked to believe that this was techni- cally not a strike but only “a suspension of oper- atiom pending the adjustment of a wage scale’! The thing would be a colossal joke if it did not happen to be also a colossal tragedy. There is not a point in the whole dispute that could not have been equally well settled between intelligent men without one hour’s halt in the production of coal. Yet the public must now listen, on the one hand, to the rejoicings of the miners and on the other to the operators’ hints that anthracite prices must go higher, with the consciousness of that 170 days’ wanton waste of producing power for which it must also pay.
