All rights of republication of special die patches herein are also reserved. TUESDAY, AUGVST 16. 19S9 ANOTHER TRICE IS CALLED , Yesterday's dispatches proclaimed throughout the country that the soft coal strike was virtually ended. The bare, 'Unadorned truth In the matter, apparently, is that another truce has been patched up in order to take ad vantage of the opportunity, provided by the strike itself, to pluck the poor old consumer again. . , When the war-time agreement ex pired last spring,, the operators as serted loudly that they were unable to go on paying war wages In time of peace and that a new scale would have to be agreed upon. , The miners. meanwhile, vociferated Just as loudly 'that they could not accept a reduc tion and would not. So there was a strike. - The strike shut down the union mnies and as soon as reserve ' stocks werA used 'up a coal shortage began to loom in the offing and prices tilted sharply. . . - This tilt ' in prices changed the whole situation. The operators saw that with reserve stocks depleted. with winter coming on and with a business revival under way they would be .able .to pay any wages that . -might be demanded and still show a stiff profit and so they became imme diately amenable to negotiations. The - miners, 'Whose loss of time during the strike "has 'not. been much greater than the pertotf'Ofurremptoyment-they nor mally anticipate each "year anyway, - . were ready, enough to negotiate on the basis of the old scale; and so every body Is happy except 'the public, which will have to pay abnormal prices for coal, .-i The inherent trouble with the soft v ' coal Industry is that it is , overdone. Working at capacity, it is capable of -producing 750,000,000 tons per year, whereas the most, the country has ever burned and exported combined is ' 660,000,000" tons and that", was a boom year;- in' normal years the capacity-is about double the market. The miners are normally idle at least J"- '& third of the tlme but by means of m powerful anion they are enabled to enforce the payment of wages where by they can earn at coal mining as much-In -Jfqux days as they could earn elsewhere in six. The public, of course, pays the bill, f Not only that, but it pays the expense bill for the, numerous strike There . Is a strike, which cuts down produo . tion and in obedience to the law of supply and demand the price rises. ; When it rises to a point sufficient to . pay all expenses, the strike is called -off and prduction is rushed and the money rolls In. Only the public suf fers, i , All this, of course, is more or less academic so far as the Pacific Coast 'is concerned. -Fortunately, our In- - dustrlal welfare and our physical comfort are not dependent upon coal . . For the present wood and oil provide .heat, and wlien -these resources be come depleted there is electricity gen- - grated by water power to fall back upon. Power for Industrial uses is '. ' supplied by electricity. The coal . s i (roubles of the East are actually , hasteningr'V.lnoUBtrial development 'f-neray because manufacturers in stead lly Increasing numbers are coming to the Coast ''to be free from the evils accompanying an industrial system that Is based upon coal.'.' " But the Coast suffers unavoidably from the business derangements caused by constant warfare - In the coal business and would like very muck to soe the Industry put upon a permanent footing that would be fajr . all around. The present "settlement" settles nothing. It is merely another armistice to provide time for shear ing4 the coal user, ' UNITY EUROPE'S NEED Ambassador Herrlck, , returning, to this oountry from France for a short vacation, believes that unity is the thing needed to restore the economlo balance of Europe. Because of Mr. Herrick's official position be could make'eW laiggiklsesi a -how that unity best could be obtained, but he ied, but no i thst cam i wftl boo It tt fliat the sees the need and believes tl ing conferences In Europo accomplished. Mr. Her rick did miirgekt "same prompt, unsolflsh mobilisation of alt forces" which 1 snved Kurope from military defeat would nvo her from economic destruction now. There ta little doubt that he la right. The thing which stands 'between Europe and the settlement of her economlo difficult tea is the tendency to believe that private Interest is greater than public interest. This la human, but It is bnd economics. The truth is that anything which does not serve the public interest sooner or later will defeat private interest. Europe is beginning to see this as she gets the blood of battle out of her i eyes. Every conference, whether im-1 mediately successful or not helps further to clear her vision and bring her a little nearer to tho truth. What with conferences past, present and soon to come, the unity for which Mr. Herrlck hopes may be nearer than it seems. HONESTY IX CALIFORNIA An effort is on foot in California to have all products, natural or manu factured, sold under the namo "Cali fornia," comply with the highest standards of honesty and quality. It Is an effort which dignifies alt those taking part in it- There is no question of the growth of honesty in business everywhere, it Is accepted as the best policy ' and more than that, it is acknowledged as a moral principle1 worthy observ ance by an enlightened peopfe. Away back in the good old days a proud New England commonwealth came to unfortunate renown as "the home- of the wooden .nutmeg." . In the time of its coinage the name was worn jauntily as a tribute to native shrewdness. Today the people of that very state would be in the fore front in acknowledgment that the California path to commercial fame was the more desirable. So the world grows better. In spite : of pessimists and their dark predictions. With the death of Lord Northcliffe, England loses a useful " man. He, more than any other person, forced England to be efficient .In ..warOare, criticising the government mercilessly for. its shortcomings . and . compelling adoption of better method. .No man has done more than Northcliffe to foster kindly relations between Great Britain and the United States.

Evidently her affections were devastated. 1 Mr, Lloyd-George is a member of a goat society and apparently means to retain hif membership. At any rate, no one baa as yet been able to get his goat. . . - Another, review of telephone rates has been asked. .Telephone rates have been ' reviewed " until they are getting dog-eared.

Lubrication scientists Have long sought to prevent this quick decomposition of oils. The Hexeon process, used only by us, accomplishes this end. It removes destructive "sulpho" compounds. Cycol is the only motor oil made by the new Hexeon process. Cycol retains its "body" under engine heat maintains an unbroken oil film between moving parts protects you against many serious engine troubles. For best results flush your crank case with fresh lubricating oil not so-called flushing oils or kerosene and refill with Cycol. The importance of the Lubrication Chart Different brands of motor oils have different bodies. The safest, surest way to get the best performance from your motor and avoid expensive engine troubles due to incorrect lubrication is to use the grade of motor oil specified on the Cycol Lubrication Chart, l hem in the same precincts.
