The agreements vary from two to five years in duration. By Dec. 5, 2,000,000 tons weekly were being produced as compared with a normal output of about 5,000,000 which it was expected would be restored before the end of the year with 900,000 miners at work.

THE WORLD, as established by JOSEPH PULITZER, May 10, 1883: "An institution that should always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party. always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty." The World in 1926 labored early and late, and constantly, as has been the case every year since the Armistice, to forward in every way that it thought proper and effective the cause of World Peace. Since another and greater war would come near wiping out civilization, the need of better and wider international understanding and co-operation is to every living soul a paramount issue. For many years to come it must remain paramount. American participation in the League of Nations has not seemed near. Until lately, the chance was fairer of American participation in the Permanent Court of International Justice-the World Court. President Harding had favored it. President Coolidge had favored it. The Senate had favored it, with reservations, of which four were acceptable and one was something of a stumbling block. The World continued urgent of action to meet the nations of Europe somewhat nearer halfway. Mr. Coolidge's practical abandonment of the Court in November dashed hopes of its acceptance for the present. Since no great public question is settled until it is settled right, The World continued and will continue advocacy of adherence to this Court as befitting the Nation that years ago had honorably led not only in seeking peaceful solutions for its own international disputes but in the constitution and operation of the Court of Arbitration at The Hague. Akin in character with the World Court, and rivaling it in importance, the question of the War Debts continued to engross International attention. These present a question much more difficult to discuss than the World Court, but one that may be happier in the attrition of practical circumstance as time passes. For the nations indebted to us cannot pay in gold; we have it. They cannot pay in wines; Mr. Volstead has forbidden it. They cannot pay in manufactured goods; "over our dead bodies," cry, figuratively, the tariff barons who rule the Republican Party. However, bankers at least commonly understand the debt question. A feasible settlement is desirable; has been urged; will be urged. No question now in Congress is more important than taxation. The World has steadily advocated rapid payment of the war debt while good times last, unemployment is slight and money plenty, as against further reduction of taxation except for the redress of inequalities within the complicated framework of the statutes. Forced into a broader fleld by a record crop of cotton, the demands of the Farm Bloc for some form of Federal price making in staple crops have continued. While steadily insisting that such devices are unfair to the consumer and tend to defeat themselves in the end, The World has never considered them morally worse or financially more unjustifiable than the price fixing now for many years enforced by the Federal Government through the tariffs for the benefit of protected manufacturers. The World strongly urged the proposed referendum in New York State to demand modification of the Volstead act, and a great majority of the people of the State voted favoring that proposal. Another great public question which should have been settled by the election was the disposal to be made of the public water power of New York State. The World favored Gov. Smith's policyindorsed by his re-election-for State development; and as the year drew to a close, it was assailing the counter-proposition of the Republican State Water Power Commission, just before going out of office, to give away the St. Lawrence power by a fifty-year lease upon absurdly favorable terms to favored corporations. In the local affairs of New York City, rapid transit continued to be the chief topic of thought and discussion. Though The World in 1913 had vigorously opposed the Dual Contracts of the city with the two great transportation companies, it urged a faithful carrying out of the contracts, once made, and an agreement, if possible, with those companies upon a policy of consolidation of the various transit lines and a harmonious development of new facilities to supplement and relieve existing lines. FOR PUBLIC SERVICE. During 1926 The World found unusual opportunity for the public service with which its name has so long been identified. Chief among these opportunities was the situation that arose upon the lynching of the Lowman Negroes at Aiken, S. C. These Negroes had been charged with the murder of a Sheriff, and upon their first trial had been found guilty. Reviewed by the Supreme Court, this verdict was set aside and a new trial ordered. Thereupon a mob forced entry into the jail, took out, with no opposition from the authorities, the three Negroes and carried them some distance from town. There they were shot down. One of the Negroes was a woman. This fact, coupled with the circumstance that the mob was expressing its opposition to a mandate of the State's highest court, and with the additional circumstance that Aiken is the winter home of so many Northern people, attracted an extraordinary attention to the lynching. An even greater degree of attention was attracted to the perfunctory finding of a Grand Jury that "persons unknown" were responsible for the lynching, and to the complete cessation of any activity on the part of the authorities after this finding. As a result, The World began its own inquiry into the situation, and editorially called for justice. For the most part South Carolina seemed quite indifferent to this situation. Two newspapers, the Columbia Record, of which R. Charlton Wright is editor, and the Columbia State, protested against this indifference, but few other voices were raised. A change came quickly after The World's articles began to appear. Every newspaper in the State was questioned by The World as to its attitude toward the lynching and the flouting of the law evidenced thereby. Many of the newspapers frankly resented the "interference" of The World and urged it to "clean up" New York before it busied itself away from home. More, however, began to call for a real investigation, and the immensely beneficial consequence was that the Aiken lynching became the most discussed matter in the State. A direct result of The World's inquiry, this spur and the whip of The World's daily articles brought about an investigation under the personal supervision of Gov. Thomas G. McLeod. The evidence gathered, the affidavits made, the witnesses listed are to be brought before the Grand Jury that convenes |
