The way TO. END THE MINERS STRIKE

The new tariff bin has been IN effect
now fifteen hours more than the hour
when it was signed by the President II
gives an advance of twenty-seven cents a
ton on coal over the rates in the Wilson
law. We have been daily looking to see
the coal mine owners call up the striking
miners and say: Last November you
voted with us for Mckinley on the plat
form pledged to give such protection as
will protect American labor from degre-
dation to the wage level of other lands.
We recognize that the increased tariff on
coal was levied solely to protect Ameri-
can labor from degradation to the wage
level of other lands This additional u
cents belongs to you. If you will call off
the strike and go back to work, you shall
have this 81 cents additional per ton as
long as the Dingley law stays on the
statute books" If they would do this,
the miners would be only too happy to end
the strike.
This is on the supposition that the tar
if has been increased, as the platform
said, solely to protect American labor
from degradation to the wage level of
other lands" There is no suggestion in
the platform of giving additional profits
to the mine owners, for the platform
reads: gs 1s
eve demand such an equitable
tariff on foreign imports which come
into competition with American pro-
ducts as will not only furnish ade-
quate revenue for the necessary ex-
penses of the government, but will
protect American labor from degreda-
ton to the wage level Of other lands.
We are not pledged to any particular
schedules"
Having won the victory, so far as tar
iff pledges helped to win it, the Republi-
can party in order to keep faith must see
to it that every cent of the additional u
cents goes into the Treasury or into the
pockets Of American labor. If penny of
it goes anywhere else, the increased tariff
is a species Of getting money under false
pretenses. Unless the mine owners make
this offer to the strikers in order to re-
store peace with honor, they will be keep
ing money which the people pay in taxes
ito protect American labor"
