What Ails the Miners ?

The distress among the miners OF
Usage county has been the subject OF
much newspaper discussion recently,
and the cause Of much trouble to that
class of people who always want to cover
up the truth for the sake OF the oorpor-
ations. Papers that are controlled by
Santa Fe influences have told bare.
faced lies in denial Of the reports, while
the facts showing the deplorable Condi-
tion of the miners stand out as plain as
day.
William Bloch, an intelligent and eX'
perienced miner Of Usage City, makes
the following statement to the press,
showing the discrimination in freight
rates against mines Of that locality:
ave are charged 30 cents per ton, or
5.55 cents per ton per mile, from O5age
City to Lyndon, nine miles east OF Usage
City. The rate from Frontsnsc to LyI.
don, 145 miles distant, is 81 30 per ton,
or 9O-lOOtha cents per ton per mile only,
and the Santa Fs hauls Canon City coal
for the same rate, so cents per ton, ell
the way from Dodge City to Topeka,
across two thirds Of the state, dis
tsnce OF 3O2 miles. We pay go cents per
ton to Emporis, 26 miles distance. From
tensc, l26 miles from Emporis, five
times as far eff, is charged Sl50, or only
two and one-hslf times our rate.
"The charge for hauling our coal from
Emporia to Newton, perhaps in the
same train, by the same crew, and the
same locomotive, is 20 cents per ton, or
so per cent. higher than the charge for
hauling Frontensc coal. We are charged
so cents per ton to have our coal hauled
from Strong City to Abilene or SRlins,
80 cents per ton from Strong City to
OoDcordis and Sl.2O per ton from Strong
City to Nebraska state line. Trinidad,
Dol, coal is hauled over the seR.sRme
track, probably again in the same trains,
absolutely without any charge what
ever.
"We do not care to ship coal to Colo
rsdo or Cslifornis; We do not wish to
supply Chicago or PsnnBylvsnia; We
don't want to carry Goals TO Newcastle.
But we do think Kansas roads should
permit US to supply the Kansas towns
almost within our very dooryard.
"Our miners have since 1888 suffered
reductions Of their digging price to the
almost incredible aggregate OF rs cents
per ton.
"The greatest beneficiary OF these re-
ductions has bsen the SAINTS Fe railroad
in an immense reduction Of its fuel bill,
bat since 1886 there has been not the
slightest reduction in our coal freight
rRtes."
