Low Gentle Coal at a
Profit.
The Englishman has alwa.ys as-
serted his right tO growl about con-
ditions in hie own country, writes a
'Loncton 'correspondent. The florid
tide of growling appears to -.have set
. • in with the increased land -valuation
•and the accompanying rise in land
taxes beginning threeyearago.
Since then there have been plenty
of =eters. to complain ef. These
include a series a strikes that up-
set bueine,ss, an increase in the cost
.of living, and, lastly, the general
strike of mine workers. Su the
.. _growling has been constant and
emphatic. •
, Yet there are optinaistes, many of
Allem— They refuse:to .concede that
Great Britain is going to the dogs,
As a matter of fact, th,e average
- Briton, while he may exercise his
right to grumble, believes the same
thing deep down in his heart, bas-
ing the belief on innate confidence
in British superiority and ability to
overcome adverse conditions. So ib
is not strange to find many who
hold that the coal strike, generally
characterized as ''disastrous,"
"appalling," or -eteeriblee' has not
had the effect on the country that
surface conditions appeared to in-
dicate. and that it proved a bless-
ing for a large number of people
who expected to be bard hit.
It is rather difficult to understa•nd
the logic of this view, even in the
face of many examples Di beneficial

tiui ditriets there is a tendency bo
higher 'trite's, but as people in
these are better able to pay the ad-
vance the changed eonditiuns have
been little felt. Thus, in the oeigete
borhood of Hanuver Square coal,
bread, meat, vegetables, sugar and
butter are up in price, but in the
same quarter eggs, bacon and mak
are down., milk eonsiderably. ' '
However, the same story eartnet,
told oftim rest of the country,.
The end of March, when the strike.
had been in progress a, month,
found, distreas 888wiclesPaead that
the local authorities nI many places
threw away their Pride and began
asking help from the eharitably in-
olined outsido.theer ova &sheets'.
The contributions of more 'thee
$15,000 made by King Geea'ge;
Queen Mary and Queen Alexandra
indicate how serious is -the situa-,
tion,'
A TYPICAL INSTANCE,
IS is Particular -serious in the
great provincial industrial centres;
A typicalinstanee is afforded:by
the, -conditions in the distrier known
as the Potteries, The Mayor of
Hoke -on -Trent says in 'appealing
for $25,000 to relieve distre-ss in his
city that- $20,000 is being eteed
every week to provide the bare ne-
oessities of life for thonsan.cls of
adults and children. In. addition

Even the British Government suf-
fered, fer not only did it have to
pay high priers for eoal used hylhe
fleet and in Government industries,
ba during the month of Mardi it
lost $2,000,000 in revenue as a di-
rect result of the strike, aneording
• to, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer's etatement in the House of
Commons. But there is another
eider tea the story—a brighter side if
one chooses to adopt the view of
thotte who say that the strike cloud
had a- eilrer lining for them:
MINE OWNERS PROFITED.
Stories are now being told that
miue owners- and tethora engaged
itt dealing in coal on a 1aegre scale
really profited by the -shutdown of
the mines. .This condition was
brought about, it is eXplained, by
• the fact that. they were able to, die -
pose of surplus supplies of the
peoreste grades of coal which had
been &drug on their hands at prices
'higher than the best coal brings' in
normal timee. Some small &entities
'were made in this way, it is assert-
ed.' •
. Then the railways were able to
take, advantage of the. situation.
through withdrawing trains that
brought, no profit, and to confiree
their service to trains that were
rmoney-makers. It is eonte»ded
