COAL STRIKE SITUATION’
SERIOUS
It is a distinct disappointment to
see the coal mine strike conference
that was called at Washington by
President Harding disperse without
accomplishing anything toward the
settlement of the strike. It was earn-
estly hoped that the president had in
mind some plan which would effect a
settlement of the dispute between op-
erators and miners and that he pos-
sessed the power and personality to
bring both parties to an agreement
along such lines as he would suggest.
But the conference hus dispersed
and the only result of the conference
is a request from the president that
the operator sreturn to their mines
and begin digging coal again with
the promise of protection in doing so.
The frank eonfendon that the ten-
dered offices of the government had
Iteett of no avail is accompanied by
a reminder that coal is a national ne-
cessity and an ample supply of it is
essential to the national welfnre and
interstate commerce.
That the operators cannot operate
their mines without labor is self evi-
dent. That the states are hesitant to
afford a protection which may in-
volve shooting down their citizens is
plain. That the federal government
is also slow in lending its troops
into the states is equally apparent.
In the face of these facts the presi-
dent's advice to the operators that
they go home and mine coal appears
almost futile.
It looks as if the situation has de-
veloped an impasse beyond whicji
nothing can be hoped for except by
agreement between the operators and
the miners. The general public is
not sufficiently familiar with the
conditions surrounding the coal in-
dustry to judge whether the miners
are right in their claims and com-
plaints. But the public would like to
be informed upon the various phases
of the" matter so as to form their own
opinion. No just man could insist
upon the miners returning to work
If tney nave real grounos ior siiik-
ing unless the mine operators make
such concessions as would be reason-
able. All of us must reulize that the
life and work of the men who delve
into the bowels of the earth to pro-
duce fuel for the country must be
hard at best. The miners at least
were fair in calling the strike in the
spring so as to have plenty of time
to fight it out without causing the
people to suffer for want of fuel.
- Bnt now summer is advancing to-
wards the cool weather and the coal
supply growing visibly scarce with
no apparent prospect of ending the
strike. The situation is serious as
affecting the needs of the country
for fuel.
It muy become even more seriobs
' from another standpoint. With 600-
000 miners now on strike with the
Herrin outrage still fresh in the pub-
lk mind# and with the renewal of
warfare in the mining regions of
West Virginia there may be cause
for apprehension of greater and more
v^idespread disorders.
#It is absurd to imagine that the
milters can be forced to return to
work. There is no power in this free
country to force men to work un-
der conditions which are objection-
able to them. Truly the situation
aeems verging upon critical. The
only hope seems to be that some in-
fluence may be brought to bear upon
both parties to admit the hitherto
silent third party to the situation—
the 110000000 people who consti-
tute the general public of the United
States—to a voice in the dispute.
putants to a mutual understanding
and agreement wfiich will end the
trouble.
PAT NEFF FOR GOVERNOR
The Herald is unequivocally for
the re-election of Pat Neff as gov-
ernor. He has rendered the state
faithful honest and efficient service
as its governor. By all rights he is
entitled to the second term which the
state invariably gives to its govern-
ors when they have measured up to
the high standards to which Pat Neff
has attained. We believe the demo-
crats of Texas hava sufficient appre-
ciation for his efforts to give the
state a clean honest and progressive
administration without increasing
the already too heavy tax burdens of
the tax payers to want him as their
governor for another two years.
Neff is in every way worthy of the
confidence of the people of Texas.
He is a fine up-standing clean- con-
scientious man fearless in the per-
formance of his duty. He is devoted
to the up-building of the state. He
is a man's man with a spine that up-
holds him in the performance of his
duty.
Vote for Governor Neff for gov-
ernor.
A vote for Pat Neff is a vote for
Texas.
DAN HUFFOR FOR STATE
SENATOR
Dan Huffor of Donna deserves the
support of every voter in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley for state senator.
Mr .Huffor is known and beloved
throughout the Valley. He is honest
capable and intelligent. He is tho-
roughly acquainted with the needs of
this Valley. No one can serve the
interests of the entire district in
fact more effectively than he. The
press of this Magic Valley is stand-
ing by Dan Huffor. The publishers
and editors know him and love him.
They know him to be a man of
brains and force of character. He is
a man of standing of clean honest
life. Vote for Dan Huffor far state
senator. A vote for Huffor is a vote
for the Valley.
FAIR DEALING TO ALL
Inasmuch as the Herald in its is-
sue of last Wednesday published the
speech of Mr. C: L. Jessup in which
scathing criticisms of several well
known citizens of Brownsville were
made the Herald has felt that it is
only just and right that any of the
persons who v^re so reflected upon
are of right entitled to publish in
its columns any replies they may
have to make in defense of them-
selves. The criticisms were offered
in a public speech before the Rotary
Club at which a large number of
guests were present.
Having published the speech we
believe no fair-minded person would
expect the Herald to do otherwise
than to permit the persons so criti-
cized to speak in their own behalf
through its columns.

I.enine is said to have been poisoned

Bring the factory to the field.
That is the doctrine which would
bring prosperity to our Southland.
The city of Houston is taking a step
in that direction by her plan to erect
a big nut shelling plant there. Texas
produces most of the pecans in the
United States. Houston will profit
by selling them shelled to the market.
The shelled nuts bring fully four or
five times as much as the pecans in
the shell. There is plenty of room
in this great state for many Wiore in-
dustrial plants.

AS CANADA VIEWS IT
(Toronto Globe(
The United States senate has turned
fiont cream to nuts in its scrutiny ot
tariff schedules for opportunities to
give the consumer another turn of the
screw. One day it denies Boston s de-
mand for Canadian cream at the bid-
ding of Vermont dairymen. The next
it votes to tax candy makers and
candy eaters by raising the duty on
almonds to suit the Calfornia grow-
eis. The tariff on almonds perfectly
illustrates the capital defect of pro-
tection. Candy manufacturers say they
must import Italian and other foreign
almonds for certain confections because
of their superior flavor. To the candy
industry almonds are raw material
but they are the finest product of the
California growers. Congress sided
with the growers by raising the duty
to five cents a pound on unshclled and
15 cents a pound on shelled almonds
the present rates being three and four
cents respectively. The candy men
who will have to pay a higher price
for both domestic and imported al-
monds. declare they will be forced to
collect the tax from the customers.
Congress will probably aid them to do
this by hoisting the tariff on candy.
The customer will pay again hut he
is not a factor when the tariff is in
the hands of its friends. Here is pro-
tection in a nutshell.

PERMANENTPEACE

(By The Associated Press!
STOCKHOLM. July 21 -Premier Brnnt-
ing of Sweden believes that u permanent
peace ha* settled over northern Europe;
that is Scandinavia and that Bolshev-
ism will never make any inroads in this
part of the world.
These thoughts appear in an inter-
view in The Nation. In answer to
the question whether Bolshevism could
successfully invade Scandinavia Mr
Branting said:
“Certainly not for. according to my
opinion the Bolsheviki have already
seen their best days and Bolshevism
may definitely be said to be on thi
decline.”
Asked whether he believed in lasting
peace in the North the Premier said:
“I have reason to believe so. We
have no cause here fog military advert;
tures.”
j The Premier doubted that the nation-
. alist movement in the Scandinavian
‘coupti^r* would ever gave use lu an
