SQUIRMING COAL BARONS
No aooncr had the President fixed
a maximum price or bituminous coal
than the operators, according to
Washington dispatches, were "laying
plans for a mast attack on the prices
fixed." Official representatives ot
their association, who happened to be
meeting in a Washington hotel at
the time, "sent an appeal to eer
bituminous operator in the Untried
Statea to meet in Pittsburg next week
to determine on a line of action."
These gentlemen may meet as they
like, and determine on any line
action that seems good to them. The
rights of assembly and discussion in
this country are still free within rea
sonable limits. But if they have any
great hope of upsetting the govern
ment's purpose by a display of re
sistance or coercion, they arc deceiv
ing themselves. And if they carry
their activity very far. they will find
themselves in a heap of trouble. The
government is in no mood to tolerate
any nonsense from the coal barons.
And certainly the public is not
The price-fixing may pinch unjust
ly here an dthere. though it is meant
to pinch off nothing but exhorbitam
profits. It is hard to be fair in every
cane where an industry is so big Msfl
complex. But there will be as little
unfairness as possible, despite the
temptation to retaliate for the gross
unfairness of the operators toward
the public in the past year. They will
be held down to a legitimate return
on their investment. And if they art
not satisfied with that, the govern
merit can and will proceed to take
over the whole business.
This applies to the wholesalers and
retailers as well. The coal industry
as a whole has alienated the sympa
thy of the nation by its grasping pol
icy in a time of great need. It has
been unpatriotic. It has charged "all
the traffic would bear," extorting the
last penny from rich and poor alike
It might have run its business on a
noDie ana generous basis, winning
the approval of the nation, suffering
no lots for the present and laying up
golden good will for the future. In
stead, it drove the public into oper.
hostility.
To such a course there could be but
one end. The people are now in con
trol, and will stay in control. They
will be fairer than the coal barons
have been, but they will be no more
than fair. If the barons don't like it.

THE BALANCE OF POWER
By H. C Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent
New York, August 28. If Boston
wins the American League Pennant
baseball followers in the East be
lieve John McGraw will have to wait
for his second world's championship.
But, if Chicago snares the Johnson
flag, they deduce, Charles Commiskey
will have to wait for his second
world's championship.
At the same time it is the feeling
that the Red Sox have skidded and
the White Sox gained some strength
The difference between the two clubs
now, it it generally asserted, is very
close.
The answer is generally held out
that the Red Sox are nude up more
closely as unit of playing strength,
whereas they are inclined to charge
the Chkagoans with dull baseball at
times.
The balance in a world's series will
have to be a matching of powerful
