, Another western college has banned tlie use of auto
mobiles by students. With this sort of policy continued
the rah-rah variety will soon decide there is no fun in
jfoinjr to collepe.
The finding of the Pacific flyers, alive and sound, is a
relief to all the nation. Their fearless and almost success
ful attempt to bridge the distance between San Francisco
and Honolulu deserves high praise. The hick of prepara
tion to meet such an emergency should be a lesson to army
and navy in the future. If every precaution cannot be
taken to guard against disaster along the route of flight,
then the attempts should not bo made.
Prohibiting students from huving automobiles At col
lege is a sensible regulation on the part of the school au
thorities, but it would seem to 1 something of an indict
, mcit against parental good judgment that such, a thing
j: would be necessary. Hoys and girls are about the nioit
human individuals you can find. If given the idea that
(1collfge is all fun titid no work, they'll conduct themselves
, accordingly. Parents are responsible for the ideas they
have,
THE TRl'E REASONS.
The coal strike in the fall of the year, which has be
come as regular a part of the American calendar as l4ibnr
Day or Thanksgiving, is an economic problem that pustules
nil of us when we fail to consider the numerous facts re
garding the coal industry that have been responsible for
this condition since the givat coal activity of the war
period. The Dearborn Independent gave the real basic
reasons for the annua! cn:! strike in a recent editorial that
lays proper stress on the surplus number of mines and
miners and the decreasing demand for coal. It says, in part :
"The cpeiuUns want a strike, because it will lie
on excuse to hold up the public on the price. The
miners want a strike, because it will close a number
: of 'surplus mines and make employment for the
; rest, These, nro the human elements, but they couiit
" lor comparatively little.
The big facts are these: We have nearly twice
ns many mines oen as we have need for. We have
thousands of miners who are not Horded in mining.
Anil, in addition, the country is not using as much
coal as it formerly did. Loss coal does more work
than it used to, because of improved furnaces and
machinery that have been evolved. Also, oil is lift
ing some of the load; ai'.d water-power is helping.
Coal is no longer king.
Ten years ago raihwuis used 27f pounds tf coal
per thousand ton miles. Today the same ton nuie
nge is accounted for by oil tons of coal, llailroad
men prophesy that five years hence the figures will
be SO pounds.
That, in brief, is what is Imperilling to coal. More
economical use of it is resulting in less of it being
needed. Coal was made so difficult to get that the
public in self-defense devised means for deceasing
the necessity to get it.
How to direct the thousands of sin-plus miners into
other channels of industry and how to get operatoi-s to
ciose the saws of small mines that woi opened during
tho war period ami proved profitable only during that
lime that is the coal problem today. Although compara
tively untouched here in the west by strike complications,
we are forced to Ix-nr indhvctly a portion of the hurdri
that comes from having this industry out of balance. And
knowing the true conditions of the situation we are less
inclined to be sympathetic toward either group in the controversy.
