went through patiently, and judicially he as
certained the cost of mining and transporting
coal to the market-what it cost the operator TO
lay it down in the market, what he sold 1t for
and what the profit was per ton.
Then he compared this profit per ton with
the price paid per ton for mining it, and he
was ready to give judgment. 1t was in favor of
the miners clsim. and their compensation was
advanced Senator Thurman pointed out that
by their own books the operators showed that
they were able and should pay better wages,
leaving them still good margin for profits.
That ended the strike. The mine-owners sue
cumbed, and since then the miners of Ohio
have been receiving nearer a just compensation
for their labor, nor have they been compelled
since the strike to maintain their rights. No
single act of any man in Ohio has ever been so
full OF benefcence ana good results to vast
body of workingmen, struggling for their
rights against their oppressors, ss that decision
OF Allen G. Thurman. Is it TO be wondered at
then that the $4,000 miners of Ohio felt dis
posed to support their champion, their friend
and their defender?

out of a cent" Perhaps nothing illustrates
the mans character better than that simple re-
mark. In fact, honesty and justice have been
religion to him. The creeds of the churches
never greatly bothered him. He has read and
studied the Bible as he studied all he deemed
worthy of an earnest mans attention In litera-
ture, but he never professed a religious belief.
His wife was Universalist in belief, q woman
of many Christian virtues. The Judge, how
ever, rarely discussed the subject. His father
had been Baptist preacher, and the son
always speaks of the life and creed of his
parent with the greatest respect. Further
than this he never went. His mother was q
follower of Swedenborg, and her views doubt
less influenced her son greatly. A sister of the
late Governor William Allen, she is described as
q very talented woman from whom her son in
herited the greater part of his ability. Her
memory he relgiously revered.
The Thurman family, coming from Virginia
in 1919, were always recognized as among the
best people, in a social way, in Chillicothe.
Young Allen G. was prevented from going to

his eyesight has failed him SO he cannot read,
the long hours of the night are very lonely to
him. His memory, once tower of strength,
gradually lost its former power and freshness.

coal miners of Ohio, who have votes to cast,
have ample cause to love and respect Allen G.
Thurman. He it was who secured them a
large measure of their nights and broke the
shackles of their oppressors. A few years ago
the mine-owners of the State, by concerted ac-
ton, set about reducing their employees to such
a state of slavery as disgraces and dishonors
the coal regions of Eastern Pennsylvania.
he miners refused to succumb and long
and disastrous strike ensued and thousands of
women and children were driven to the verge
of starvation and had to depend upon charity
for bare subsistence. Finally arbitration
was proposed. A representative of the miners
and of the mine-owners met to adjust the
trouble, and, of course, they disagreed. Then
Allen G. Thurman was called upon to decide
the matters in dispute.
He devoted weeks of patient labor to the
