Mine Coal, Arbitrate or Yield.
. Of charges and countercharges, affir
mations and refutations, statements
and explanations which have passed
i - pro and con between the mine opera
tors and the mine workers In the an
thracite coalfield the public. has had
plenty. Neither side can possibly say
anything that the other stdo will not
contradict, and further discussion will
not affect the situation.' The Issues
1 Involved , are clearly enough under
stood. .What the public now. wants is
not talk, but action. In view of the
fact that the owners of the mines and
, the operators of the coal carrying
roads are under obligations to the pub
lic by virtue of the charters they bold
the public has a right to demand that
they either mine and deliver coal, arbi
trate their differences between them
' selves and their employees or yield to
the demands of the latter.
The operators claim that a large pro
portion of the miners who went on
strike desire to return to work and
that these dissatisfied strikers have
visited the offices of the companies In
large numbers and asked for re-em;
ployroent If this Is so. why do not
the operators go on and mine and ship
conl and relieve the anthracite famine
which Is disastrously affecting the in
dustries of the country? If the object
of the operators is to break up the ex
lstlng' union,, which seems apparent
no surer or more expeditious way of i
doing so could be devised than resum
Ing coal mining with such of its mem
bers as are desirous of breaking away
from the organlaatloiu -
If. -ou the other hand, the talk about
disaffection ' among the miners and
their eagerness to desert the strike and
return to work la unfounded and the
operators cannot resume - work Until
the union permits, the sooner they ac
cept "the proposition to arbitrate the
better for themselves. ' "
The strike has now been In progress
nearly:' two months, certaluly long
enough for a test of strength, and
there la no prospect of the anion reced
ing from the position ft has taken,
while It is not, Improbable , that the
strike will extend , to the bituminous
fields after the general conference ap'
pointed to be held In Indianapolis on
July IT. Meanwhile the public inter
ests austere It is clearly the duty of
the operators to mine coal If they cai
or arbitrate if they cannot, If they
persist in refusing to do either, the
legislature of Pennsylvania would be
warranted in dissolving the coal com
panies for nonuser of their ' charter
powers. , .

HE PUBLIC ' OWNERSHIP Or' MUNICIPAL. MONOPOLIES!
AND AN EQUAL' ANf JUST TAXATION OF THE ClTt-S
ZENS OF A CITY WILL, ; I THINK, BRING ABOUT
AS IDEAL A CITY AS WE CAN HOPE TO SEE FOR
YEARS.
In" the first place, municipal . monopolies consist of
rights and 'special privileges in the public streets and highways,
which, in the nature of the case, cannot be possessed by all the people
and can only be enjoyed by the few. , A constant struggle goes on
to obtain such privileges, with the result of checking and retarding
for a lone time necessary public improvements. ; Rival claimants
not strong enough to obtain what they want often succeed in check
mating each oilier at the expense of denying to the public needed
advantages.
Only a slight observation of and reflection upon the needs of
people crowded together in a city as to facility of moving about, as
to communication, as to Bupply of water, as to supply of artificial
light, are needed to satisfy any candid man that Buch businesses are
in their nature monopolistic. 4
irr-proposition; ox this subject is to en
LARGE THE FUNCTIONS OF MUNICIPALITIES SO THAT
THE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNI
CATION AND THE SUPPLY OF WATER AND LIGHT
SHALL BE FURNISHED BY PUBLIC AUTHORITY AND'
NOT BY; PRIVATE ENTERPRISE and extend this principle
to its logical result of taking under publio administration all busi
nesses which require the grant of any special right or privilege. ,' We
have already started on this road and made considerable progress.
Under present conditions the adoption of this policy would require
the taking over by the public only of the water, gas,' electric light
and power supply, the telephone and the street railroads. ,.;.! v
The evils which a great many timid people fear as likely to arise
from enlarging the scope of the functions of municipalities are trivial
' In comparison with the evils which are inseparable from the present
system.; As long as the great rewards which these monopolies offer
to private enterprise are possible industries will be hampered, poli
tics will be corrupted with bribery and fraud and people will have to
; pay unnecessarily high prices for this kind! of services, and they
"will be subjected tofdaily and hourly inconveniences and vexation
owing to the' poor quality of the service. ' ' ' ! '
: I WOULD NOT ADVOCATE ANY DISREGARD OF ' EXISTING
RIGHTS OR ANY CONFISCATION OF EXISTING PROPERTY.
It .would be no violation of existing rights for cities to use tleir
tax powers so as to compel the present private owners to' bear the
same proportion of public burdens, according to the value of their ;
property, inclBiding franchises, ,whicli owners of other kinds of pri
vate property havo to, bear, ,'!'. ,, , ' t ,
: ' It would be no violation 'of existing rights, where the power had
not beenv bartered away, for the cities or the states to regulate fares
apd rates of compensation so as to' make them yield only a fair
return on the actual investment made rather than upon, a fictitious
capitalization based mainly upon franchises or special privilege

HESITATE TO DO .WHAT PRIVATE PERSONS IN BUSI
