1 Unless tha deferences are -adjusted the pinch will coma no doubt
For1 tha mlnera tha pinch will ba felt earlier loir their strike fund
cad not laat alwaj. Then other worfcinrmen will be called upon to
id tha striken. That will mesa "pinch for men who are probably
burdened With as many demands as their In comet can bear without
inconvenience .-'
.-.The. oparatora will not be ''pinched." They hare a large stock of
coal which they will be able to get more tor. Temporarily at least
their profits will grow. Then there are not so many of them aa there
are of either mlnera or . consumers aad since they are rich corpora
Uona such nardJbips as hunger or cold will not bother them.
r Both' tha Miners aad oparatora from time to time will aeek to Jus
tify themselves. And in doing that one aide will accuse the other.
tBut what of the public? Has the public beaa guiltless of response
btjtty for tha condition of the coal industry? Admittedly tba-pnbue
has paid high prices for coal much higher In all probability 'than it
ought to hare paid.
TTheVnubUc hai not done Ml that It might hare dona to better the
coal' situation. i
: for instance the eoufltrjr la now entering upon tha long seaeon of
warm weather when the Individual needs but very little coal. Even if
there ware no strike it would aeon ba necessary for tha companies to
curjtail production from time to time because 'of the tremendous stocks
that accumulate during the season whea domestic coal ceases to move.
. '"The effort year after .Tear to induce the individual coal consumers
of the country tobay their winter supplies during the summer has
never succeeded. Lower prlcea have not ailed materially in distribut
ing domestic coal in summer. - -
cttth alack demand in summer results -in less production minora
I4d i oft bacansa of stocks at the loadlnr dumps so large thst opera-
UfM must ba suspended nntll there la room to dump more coal thou
eands of idle can and materially diminished coal distribution for lack
of demand. ." v ' V
- These conditions unanestlonablr retard nroduction. reduce the
eaVaiags of the miners through enforced idleness and diminish the
reawaues "out of which the miners are paid. Likewise they Just as cer-
tainly cause higher prices for consumers as they cause smaller profits
for the oparatora and lost time and reduced earnings for the mlnera.
r It the consuming public ware 4o co-operate with tha railroads tha
"tnra and the oparatora perhaps the controversy between tha oper-
tors ana miners would not be aggravated by so many complication
ilia coal transportation problem; too would be 'simplified and the hard
addition Which prodnee discontent among the miners might ba mlti-
-tatU :-"v"' . - ' ;V." ' '
Tha' public's responsibility In the present crisis Is Important for
1 reason 'that tha coal problem itself can not be solved without the
tvVUe'i o-operatlon. 81nce neither the government tha operators'
nor the miners can force the public to co-operate the situation is in-
Bated with all tha more difficulty because no aettlemen't that j might
b made between the operators and the miners could produce perma-
nent peace in tha absence of a thorough treatment ot this fundamental
element of the problem. . . . - V; T

Ia a land of ao many diverse interests opinions and classes it would
be difficult to say at this time what effect h!s visit has had upon the
altnatlOB It ia entirely too early to attempt to gauge the results
though It ie apparent that it waa not all bad. India Is seething vtth
discontent no doubr eaouraged by outsiders as well as fomented by
native nationalists but there is such a lack of harmony among them
that Bo effective substitute for British rule has been put forward' and
complete separation of the country from tha British empire Is imprac-
tical at this time. . . ... ' .J
; But tha prince's Visit has ad the effect of centering the mind of
the British people and the people of tha world for that matter upon
the Indian problem coming up to be solved. A flood of light has been
taraed ba the situation there as be Journeyed 'through tha empire.
