SLAVERY AT f1s COAL MINE.
One of Its Worst Features Found ;. the
system of store Orders.

One OF the grievances OF the
striking miners in the central btu
minous region OF Pennsylvania is
the "store order" abuse. says the
Philadelphia Record. A great many
years ago, when an obstinate strike
was made in this region of the state.
the miners demanded as condition
of industrial peace that the storo
order system should be abolished.
10 this operators were constrained
to assent. and for siderable
time the wages OF the miners were
paid in cash Instead Of with orders
for store goods. But the abuse has
been revived since the decision OF
the supreme court OF Pennsylvania
that the acts of assembly for its
suppression were in violation
of the right of contract
So the miners must patiently
submit to be pluudcred by this store
order system, or else strike against
AS the operators seem determined
to elinr ~ this profitable abuse uf-
til compelled to a'...Sndon it, In the
development OF this lnq%lry many
operators farm out to secuad
parties the privilege OF keeping
store at their mines. In compensa-
tion, the operators receive Il certain
percentage Of the profits of the store
business, This percentage every
dollar OF it, comes out of the honest
earnings of the poor miners. as the
privileged de&ler. who have the
monopoly of trade at tt5 mines
mark up the prices of their goods
high enough to cover it. But
whether the operators farm out the
store order business or run 1t them
selves, the effect Of the system is to
covertly defraud the miners Of Il
portion OF their wages. 1t filches
the bread from the mouths OF their
wives and children.
Whatever mdy be the merits OF
conflict between the operators and
the miners in regard TO wages, the
miners are clearly in the right in
their demand that the store order
system be abolished. One of the
features of this system is to fix the
payment of wages at long intervals.
in order to compel tire miners to re-
sort to the store. But let the fiiiners
insist on the payment OF wages in
cash, SO that they may buy their
please, and on the best terms. Work
ingmcn who are subjected to the
demoralizing influence OF this store
order system are little better than
| slaves.

Chairman Dickic of the Prohibition
tion does not prohibit unless it is in

itself n rather severe arraignment of

mites the laws are impartially en-
forced, especially where the public vel
fare Is particularly involved. For ex-
nifty good people who believe capital
punishment too severe for the crime OF

murder, yet the prevailing sentiment

the only effective preventive penalty.
