Sir Richard Moon, (lie Eng'ish rail­
way magnate, is said to have been
very precise in small m atters. It is
told of him that when traveling up to
town one daj by his ilne lie noticed
that the [Muter at Ealing shouted
“Healing" and the porter at Hammer­
smith “Animersmith," and that the
first thing he did on reaching Ids of
flee was to give instructions that the
two men should change places forth

Around th e lives of the men who

This year H erbert Hoover, Sec­

conferences and voluntary cam ­
paigns of various kinds which have
held the -»rice ot coal at the mines
to one-hal ot th at which it reached
in 1920. r aen there was no strike.

since the strike ended, giving the re ­
newed production a chance to

secured perm itting th e scotching of

In order to prevent th e endless
recurrence of such crises as the one
from which the country is now
em erging President H arding has
appointed a commission, in accord­
ance with recom m endations of Mr.
Hoover and a bill by Senator Borah,
to get coal facts and work out a
perm anent solution.
Mr. Hoover, whose profession is
mining, believes th a t better condi­
tions for m iners and lower prices
for the public can both be achieved
by abolition of in term itten t employ­
ment.
The contrast between prices d u r­
ing th is year of scant production,
when coal a t the mine has reached
less th an half the price level of
1920, a year of no shortage, shows
th a t it pays for agencies represent­
ing the public to concern -.hem-
selves w ith the cost ot aecessities.
