Anthracite unions of the United Mine Workers of America are
displeased with the cost-finding methods employed by the United
States Coal Commission, and in their criticism revert .to the proposal
of nationalization as the only cure for the ills that afflict the coal
mining industry. They have laid before the commission a concrete
proposition for the nationalization of Pennsylvania’s anthracite mihes,
and as though they recognized that their startling suggestions would
not prove acceptable, they have also submitted an alternative plan for
a general reduction of capital investment and capital charges in the
industry.
Public hearings on the proposed nationalization of mines is re-
quested, and a direct appeal is made to the people by including it jn
the scheme for taking over the private properties. It is to be a partner
in the industry with the miners, and mine managements, under a form
of control which will be established through purchase of stock and
securities from the proceeds of 6 per cent bonds, based on "sacrifice
value," and to be paid off in fifty years. The owners of the mines
are to be allowed only a "reasonable return" on the original cost of
their properties, with profits deducted and deficits allowed. this
kind, of valuation is declared to be fair in a monopoly like anthracite,
and that industry “should pay for capital what it has to pay and no
more.”
This means, of course, that capital investment would be restricted
to what was absolutely necessary to present operation, with nothing
to provide for future growth, or to take care of extraordinary losses
which might be unexpectedly encountered as a result of business
changes.
In spite of the evident unfriendliness of the miners toward in-
vestors, the latter would be called upon to assume the burden of the
new form of control. The managements would only be permitted
to earn a nominal return under the plan of nationalization, and the
public interest would receive attention only after the interest of the
industry had been taken care of.
The miners would be the real beneficiaries of the scheme, and
yet would not be required to assume any risks at all. As they see it,
the purpose of nationalization is not to take over and operate an in-
dustry solely for the public benefit but to raise the standard of living
of the workers engaged in the industry. They chide the coal commis-
sion for not making its findings from the standpoint of the preven-
tion of strikes alone, and use The old threat of the strike to gain what
they desire, which in the present instance is the complete possession
of the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania. In defense of their position
the miners advanced the following self-contradictory arguments:
"The law creating your commission provides for full investigation
and report into the causes which induce strikes, we know from bitter
experience that the main cause is the ever accelerating claims of the
holders of anthracite securities. For every increase in the national
demand for coal, for every increase in technology and productivity,
the investor demands the full increment, keeping prices at a maximum,
which the traffic can bear, and wages at the minimum upon which
the miners can be made to exist. There is no solution of the economic
problem of anthracite until this intolerable grip is relaxed; until the
public service function of the industry is frankly recognized, and
until the claims of investors are confined to reasonable limits, the
standard of living of the miners permitted to grow with the productive
. expansion of the country, and the price of consumers adjusted to theso
two factors."
Here, it is plainly stated that while profit in its usual sense is to
be eliminated and the idea of service substituted stil, as we have al-
ready said, the public interest is to be subordinated to that of the in-
dustry. But there is much more besides, for the productive expansion
of the country is made the basis of the standard of living of the work-
ers, and yet how can the standard be firmly established or permanently
maintained if the public interest is to be regarded as secondary to
that of the miners, and managers in the anthracite industry? The
miners recognized that the standard of living of our corporate workers
is really fixed by the general standard of the whole people. If they
are ignored and their interests neglected the workers must suffer
in consequence.
Moreover the standard of living, or more properly that of con-
sumption, is determined by the productive capacity of the country, if
therefore, one large industry, the source of power producing minerals,
is made into a public service instead of a vast collection of producing
and profit earning properties this standard must be accordingly low-
ered. Every industry or unit of an industry which contributes its
quota of commodities to the life giving stream of commerce should
be preserved in its independence and made to stand on its own feet
and not suffered to become a charge on the public. Only such enter-
prises as are essentially non-productive and non-profit earning should
be permitted to become public services. For they must be supported
by the former and if they are greatly extended there will not be suf-
ficient productivity to sustain them.
To properly preserve the balance between business and public
service it is necessary that workers be given higher remuneration in
productive, than in non-productive, enterprises. This naturally takes
place, for in the first case the worker is paid according to what he
can produce and in the second case only for his ability to perform a
required service which is not susceptible to increase according to the
capacity of those who are conducting it, but is fixed rigidly in advance
of their employment.
If the anthracite mines should be nationalized the miners would
necessarily have to accept a reduction of pay to a strictly service
scale, for we could not afford to maintain a public service with a pri-
vate beneficiary.

The late David Graham Phillips used
to do his writing standing up at an
old bookkeeper’s desk he kept in his
study in Washington Square. He
wrote with a pencil and could write
for hours with no apparent discom-
fort. mental or physical. He tried to
master the typewriter, but found that
thoughts would not come.

.Speaking of flapjack jugglers, there
is one in Columbus Circle Child's that
—let me see, where is that book of
synonyms, oh yes—Intrigues. He can
toss the flapjack cellingward, pirouette
three times and catch it with ease.
Sometimes, when he has a goodly
crowd before the window, he will close
his eyes and catch it on the paddle
behind him. One night, overcome by
curiosity, I followed him when he
doffed his white jacket and departed
from his post of duty. He walked over
Fifty-ninth Street to a private gym-
nasium. I have often wondered if it
is necessary for a flapjack juggler to
keep in constant training.

"I have engaged one of our pigeons
who has carrier pigeon blood in his
veins to go to Lone Pine and wait
until he ses your father coming in
the distance,” Daisy explained to
Billy Jr., after she had told him the
good news about the family going to
the fair, "and then he is to hurry
home and tell me so I can go to
meet your father. You see, we don’t
know from which direction he will
come. By going to that tree, the
pigeon can see in all directions for
miles, so when he sees which way
your father is coming, he is to fly
back to tell me, that I may start to
meet him and be sure I am going
the. right way. He flies so fast that
your father won’t get near hero bo-
fore the pigeon will be back and I on
the way."
“Well, mother, you certainly are a
hummer to think all that out!"
"Not at all! It only shows how fond
I am of your father and how much I
wish to see him."’
