President Lewis. of the United Mine Workers, has threaten'd to cut off the supply of anthracite coal to the public because coal operators will not consent to what is known in union circles as the "check-off", which is nothing more or less than the forcible collection of union due* from coal miners by the coal operators. The coal operators refuse to consent to thTs practice, because they say it is un American and in effect is "taxation without representation. " There is some truth to the contention of the coal operators. Many cf the mine workers. even thougr^ they are in the unions?. tko? muct Vw : ?... L..1J .L;.i t_ a union mine?do not agree with the principles of the union and have had no voice in fixir.tr the dues of the unions. The veryfact that the officials of the United Mine Worker* insist on the coal operator? holding the dnes out of the wages of the miner? is sufficient proof to show that the miner? do not gladly pay their dues in the uaions^ In other words, the operators argue tha^if thh union is not able to command tl?3bo?fidence of its members to the extent that will willingly and gladly pay their dues of their own accord, then it is not right that they should be forced to hold back the due? out of their pay. T*?re is no doubt two sides to thc ques- j tio?. The operators were possibly forced to accept unionism and for this reason. wil' be just as obstinate in co-operating with iii? onions as tfce^ ca& without orcn!;* ric " THE CHI iating the avowed principles of th?, union [jperaDon?. Union officials, on the other bard, are doubtless trying to forca the operators to aecqpt their every demand. \Yher> their an unwilling yield, as in this case, there is- anything but co-opt ratcn. Mr. oColidge jumped into na..?na! prom- j r.ence a few years ?; ? when n> - < f " e- . tively met the strike of In -: peKeinuit . wh a he was governor of Ma- ..chusents. The people of Boston could : >t do without police protection even for a sh rt time, and r.o quarter was shown the Btikr.g policemen.

It has become possible to very nearly gauge and measure the amount and kind of newspaper advertising which will be required for a specific project or product, fjoat a business venture, rejuvenate a rundown store or sell a piece of property. The advertiser who says "enough," who j thinks he is striving sufficiently, has reallj ceased to strive at all. "Enough" is a delusion.
