THE SLIDLNG-SCALE AGAIN.

The circular address Of the COM
panies to the miners and the pending
consideration of the subject concern
ed by the latter appears to be an op-
Fortune occasion to revive the discus
sion of the sliding-scale as a basis for
pay of labor. Indeed, the plea OF
general depreciation, occasioned by
the depression of the iron trade and
Clearfeld rivalry, is the basis laid
down for the argument and suggestion
of lower wages here.
Speaking generally, however, the
origin of all wealth is labor, whether
of the community or individual, ,..and
when industry is only partially en-
ployed both run behindhand. This
is patent with regard to working
men and it is no less true as affecting
employers.
The common assertion that the in
terests Of each are mainly, if not al
together, identical, is filed with truth.
Hence, some steps have been taken in
different quarters of the country to
secure a greater intimacy between
those indispensable factors in industry,
and they furnish some testimony that
the world moves forward in that di-
reotion-slowly, it is true, contrasted
with the urgent desires of reformers,
but still it moves. There is a steady
increase in the number Of concerns
which give their qoorkmen an interest
in their prosperity. From this source
emanates the brightest ray of hope
ever shed upon the labor problem.

July 7, 1880.
Mr.. Editor I'm perusing the col
umns of your last issue | was little
amused with a certain letter which
had been written by one Of the Sons
of Temperance who styles himself
Champion" and who gave chal-
lenge to any saloon-keeper to answer.

THE EMPIRE MLNE-TROUBLE At
BORDEN.
July 7. 1880.

oObl lOoO'
visited to-day the Empire mine
located in Garrett county, operated
by the Piedmont Coal and Iron COM
pany.
This company owns $500 acres of
coal lands containing all the lower
veins. They deserve credit for the
energy with which they are carrying
on this mine. The first of this coal
introduced into market was neither
properly mined nor cleaned of the slate
and other impurities, and was there
fore deprecated in the market. From
that day there has been prejudice
existing against it which is entirely
unjust. The care displayed by this
company is fast wiping out some of
that prejudice. They have lately
shipped a boat load of this coal to
Georgetown by way of the canal; they
have also steady orders for it for the
manufacture of iron. The principle
complaint against it Is too much fine
coal. To remedy this the company is
about introducing a new method re-
quiring the miners to load the fine all
in one car and the lump coal by itself.
They have sent away some samples of
the fine for blacksmith purposes to
parties that have been using the
Clearfeld coal and it gives entire sat-
isfaction. They have received orders
from three railroad blacksmith shops
in Philadelphia, and they are also
shipping it west for the same purpose.
There is a first-class set Of practi-
cal miners employed at this nine; they
clean the coal well and mine about 81
tons per man per day.
The coal looks remarkably well on
the cars, and I am under the impress
sion that the day is not far distant
when the six-foot vien will be COM
petitor in the market along side of
our big vein.
July s, 1880.
Visited Borden mine; found the
miners on a strike on account Of some
trouble about the timber. 1t seems
that the miners have to roll their
props down bank to the mouth of
the mine; check them, and the com.
pany then loads and takes them into
the working places. This the miners
object to; hence the strike.
1t will be seen that they have un-
dertaken to settle this, independent
of the law, in their own way. When
they commence work l will visit the
mines and lay before the Superinten-
dent the law on the subject. Until
then | cannot move in the matter.
As long as they are on strike they
do not need timber, and the company
has the right to close their mine if
they choose. THOMAS BROWN,

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
WHY NOT?

Dear Mr.. Editor If the Compa-
ny stores and the exclusive order sys-
TEN, or iron-clad arrangement, is for
the good of workingmen, how can the
Current Money Act" be an injury to
them? Why has no word of tongue
or pen been seen or heard against this
legislative outrage, and in praise of
the very mild system which permits

of us? Shame on US for not Defend

THE COMPANIES CIRCULAR.

An address to the miners, copied
elsewhere, has been circulated
throughout the region. AS state
msnt of fact we presume it is unques-
tionable. It's tone is business-like
and respectful, as Of body of men
who have so much to say and say it.
A critical reading of the last para
graph will disclose the dextrous prop
osition that the miners in their own
interest might themselves proftably
reduce the price of mining to fifty
cents. Otherwise, it is within the
range of possibility that we (the COM
panies) will do it for you-in our in
tsrest alone.
If this is fair deduction the sub
ject requires the most serious and
careful consideration before final con-
clusions are reached. There are con-
tingencies to be forecasted not set
forth in the bill, for the triumph of
the Clearfeld corporations is too fresh
in the common memory for the tactics
which accomplished it to be lost upon
the admiration ofthose just now most
interested in their efficiency. In this
State those tactics would be just as
vigorously protected as in Pennsyl-
vania.
The attempt to introduce cheap
labor here would he an innovation
which none can desire, and certainly
4 successful attempt would be cal
amity whose proportions we may
vainly endeavor to measure. The
companies are fully aware of this,
and they evidently intend with their
accustomed dexterity to force the re-
sponsibility of such a step upon the
miners. 1t is now easy for them to
establish the fact that they have ad-
dressed a calm, courteous statement
to the miners; moreover, that they
actually gave the miners the oppor-
tunity to reduce the rate themselves, re-
lisving them from the unpleasant
dct1m which has frequently marked
the operators conduct in such matters.
Now, the whole thing will turn upon
the miners first step.
Our theory of this matter is appar-
emily correct when we remember that
the companies have taken their cue
from the preliminaries to the trouble
last fall. Then the miners, through
one of their number, addressed the
companies. No attention was paid
to the address. In consequence, the
miners put the companies in the aOrong
before the public. Now the positions
are reversed; the companies address
the miners, with the view Of being
right this time, and, if trouble fol-
lows, to put the miners in the wrong
andkesp them there. And, as we have
stated, while the miners gave them
no discretion as to the advance, the
companies are plausibly more liberal
in allowing the miners an opportunity
to put their own wages down. In the
matter of attitude before the public
always gullible as to the superior
wickedness of miners-it is job ten
fold easier for the companies to place
the miners in the wrong than for the
latter to put themselves right.
We throw out these hints of facts.
We know them to be facts; we have
heard and seen enough to Justify us
in calling them facts. Our only OBJ
ject in giving them publicity is to aid
the miners in reaching a wise deter
mination. Further than a fair, full,
careful consideration Of all the issues
involved, we have nothing to suggest.
The path of wisdom is the path Of
safety.

of business fellowship more than this.
Both employers and employees need
to be persuaded and educated up to
the abiding conviction that the good
or i'll fortune Of trade should be
shared nearly alike. This, the slid
ing-scale, honestly carried out, will
promote and secure. 1t is not within
our province to draw up the details OF
such scheme, but that something OF
the sort is needed, nobody will deny
who has been witness of the fire.
quency with which differences have
arisen on the question of how much
wages ton of coal will stand. This
once fixed the welfare of the parties
interested will be as justly co-opera-
tive as the most exacting honest man
could desire.
Now, the companies openly admit
that they can pay fifty cents per ton
at the present selling price. What is
that price? Let the companies an
swer. Let them state also that if coal
should go up next week 25 cents
whether they wonld be willing in due
proportion to raise the price of min
ing2 If SO, state the proportion.
By some such discussion of the sub
iect an arrangement may be made
which will be permanently satisfac-
tory.
In conclusion, let this matter have
calm, cool, prompt consideration. Let
nothing but the best Judgment of the
wiseat heads among the miners have
sway. More than this the public can
not expect; less may disappoint their
friends and place them in an indefen-
sible position.

Both parties seem hard to please.
They are fishing up all sorts Of bad
stories about the candidate of the op-

cumstance will be taken from the fact
that nobody named Garfield signed
the Declaration of independence.
This will be followed by damning
criticism of the "coarse hand" of the
man, Hancock, who did sign it.
The stalwsrt fellows of each party
going around vociferating an inten-
