THE BROKEN YEAR
AND HOWTOMEND IT
(Continued from Pt|t I.) .
(including wage scales), and car sup
ply are all (actors contributing to
these differences in mine employment.
Unfortunately, we can guage results
better than determine causes;. we
know the industry to be wasteful, but
where are the leaks? The lack of
efficiency and the losses due to irreg
ular operation are not universal, for
many individual mines work 300 days
in the year. Indeed in 1013 when the
bituminous mines age raged 232 work
ing days, one-fourth of the half mil
lion men in the industry were employ
ed in mines that worked 280 days or
Oufprotteto -in industrial beiser?ient
then, is simply to bring the average
mine up to the best; to do that, un
favorable conditions must be replaced
by favorable conditions.
First among methods of mending
the brol^b year is the practical reme
dy of stabilising the coal market.
Many reforms can begin at home, and
my first practical suggestion for bet
tering conditions of employment at
the coal mine will be addressed to the
coal consumer. A more regular mar
ket for the mine's output is the first
essential, and here is the consumer's
opportunity to cooperate. You and
I seed to buy coal at times when we
need the coal least. Off season de
livery of coal, even to the small con
sumer, whose name is legion, will ma
terially make the mine -worker's
June more like his November. Also,
each of us should buy of one dealer,
not "shop" for coal. If you or I
speculate in our 10-ton purchases,
how can we deplore the speculative
tendency of our coal dealer and the
chain of business hazards thus ini
tiated? Is it not plain that the re
tail dealer who can depend on his
regular trade himself be a better cus
tomer of the wholesaler or the selling
agent of the mine? The large con
sumer can do even more to smooth
out the irregularities of mine opera
tion by making long-term contracts,
even flve-yer contracts, and providing
for delivery to suit the mine aa well
as himself. Such contracts could be
made at lowest prices, for with long
term contracts in hand the mine op
erator could reduce his costs to a
minimum. With such a steady mar
ket, full year operation and steady
'employment would become possible?
the mine worker would earn a year's
wage, and the public would hot pay
for idleness. That reform, however,
must begin at home not at the distant
mine?the consumer must strat it.
With market demands more regu
lar it will become even more obvious
that the overdeveloped industry must
suffer deflation; fewer mines and few
er miners can and should furnish the
needed coal. Mr. Peabody as a rep
resentative operator admits that one
third of the operating mines repre
sent a burden on the industry, and he
suggests their elimination through
bankruptcy. Ellis Searles, the editor
of the United Mine Workers' Journal
admits that 150,000 miners, like one
third of the mines, should be elimi
nated, and he suggests that they leave
the mines for the farm. Mr. Pea
body estimates that the idle days of
our bituminous mines involve an an
nual loss to the cssital and labor em
ployed of not less than $400,000,000,
and I suspect that most of this loss is
paid by the consumer.
A longer working year for a reduc
ed force is the only possible method
of bringing about the lower wage
and the larger annual earnings; both
of which are generally needed. It is
largely by reasdn of the high unit
rate of wages that coal costs too much,
and on broad economic grounds it
may be well questioned with the wage
of the consumer. Can a $5 a day
workmen afford to buy coal mined by
$10 a day mine worker?
To hasten this needed deflation,
even "though it be accomplished
through the working of the law of
supply and demand, there must be
a better informed and more aroused
public opinion. The people need to
realize more thoroughly that their in
dustrial life as well as their domestic
comfort depends upon coal. This
business of mining and distributing
coal ranks with the public utilities,
and public regulation will surely
come as needs arises. The words of
President Harding, "Deliberate pub
lic opinion never fails," expresses
truth as applicable now as in the days
of Lincoln.
Whenever public interest is aroused
in the coal question, the defensive
note of the coal men is likely to be
that appeal for "less Government in
business," an appeal with which I
sympathize so fur as Government reg
ulation might drag politics into busi
ness. The political danger that real
ly confronts the coal business is that
the leaders in the the industry will
too long be blind to the trend of the
times. In this year of the independ
ence of the United States of America,
the 146th, the American people are
not reactionary?the old ways of do
ing business are not to be the now
way*. Oar reverence for the privi
leges and rights of private business
is giving way to a new attitude: We
are asking what is private business
and what is public business. Forced
to exteremes by private disregard of
public interest, this tendency in pop
ular thought may even become dang
erous, and Secretary Hoover's recent
statement to the operators that "if
our coal industry does not govern it
self it will surely be governed by the
public" was a warning of that danger.
So I suggest "leas Government in busk
ness" is desired, the best means to
that end is more business in business.
Our best mines are so planned and
equipped and operated as to demon
strate how efficient coal mining
in the merchandising of coal; yet the
average coal mine end the average
coal yard are far from being grati
fying exhibits of that engineering
ablity of businesa thrifht wheich we
like to regard as typically American.
In bringing about the adoption of
these higher standards and more busi
ness like practices in the coal busi
ness, public opinion must be the force
that refuses capital to open or oper
ate unneeded mines, that refuses to
pay wages or profits figured on an ex
pectation of one-third idleness and
two-thirds work, that encourages off
season purchase and storage of coal
by consumers?and above all we need
an enlightened public opinion that
puts t ban alike upon the selfish dis
regard of the interests of the producer
of coal by the purchaser, and of the
interests of the consumer by both the
mine operator and the mine worker.
The present unhappy condition of the
coal industry is not an aftermath of
the war; rather the blame for most
of the evils that burden the coal busi
ness and have burdened it for years
must be laid on the Common garden
variety of blind selfishness. The
sharp buying of coal and disregard
of contracts whenever the ' market
favors the buyer, the profiteering by
the operator or dealer when his turn
comes, the collective bargaining with
the walk-out as the club?all these
bring unnecessary hazards into the
business and add useless costs to the
product.
The general welfare is tied up with
a regular supply "of lower-cost coal
and larger earnings for those who
produce it. And the responsibility
for mending the broken year needs to
be shared by the many who can help
thus to bring about the economic and
social benefits arising from coal that
the Nation's industry can afford to
buy, and from mining towns of which
the Nation need not be ashamed.
O
PREACHER UNDER BOND
GIVEN BY PARISHONERS
Rev. Charles J. Weiberig, the Mis
souri Lutheran preacher of North
ampton county, who was arrested un
der the blue sky law last week, has
been held for the grand jury under a
thousand dollar bond, which was fur
nished by the parishoners of his com
munity. The report of the case
reached the State Insurance depart
ment last Saturday, the 24th. It indi
cated that the state did not shott, in
the initial hearing, that the preacher
knew the financial condition of the
Black Panther Oil Company when he
advised D. P. Dellinger to invest
$4,100 in the company.
The preacher had invested some
money in the company, through the
advice of a friend who was connected
with the Black Panther, and had col
lected a hundred per cent divident on
the investment. He told Mr. Dellin
ger, one of the parishoners about the
matter and suggested that since times
were hard, he might invest some of
his money and get the same return.
Dellinger acted on this advice, drew
out his money in the form of cashier's
checks, signed them over to the Black
Panther and sat down to wait and see
it double tip in a short time. When
the checks did not come in he sought
the adivce of his preacher, who did
not know what had happened. He
finally wrote to the company and word
came back that the officials were
not in the city. He then appealed
to the State Insurance Commissioner,
telling him "For God's sake help me
get even with the one hos' preacher."
