most comfortable of any and the gam
from a successful strike would be small

the most to gain. Ohio and Indiana
seem the most depressed. II the wages
should be computed by the day, ana
the men should be employed all the
secular DAYS OF the year, miner would

prevailing when the strike began; 1n-

Illinois. 76 cents; Pennsylvania 81

Another point should be CONSIDERED
not only by the West Virginia miners
but by other employees Of the South
That they. with less per diem or per
ton wages. may enjoy greater comfort
than their fellows in other parts OF the
country is due 10 the fact that they
live in the South. where not only they
are able to work a greater number OF
davs. or do more mine work, but are
also able to do more with their wages.
For the same reason the industries OF
the South have been enabled TO develop
on Overwhelming lines, whereby a
greater force Of labor has been given
employment. and serious inroads have
been made upon the profits OF older
centres of industry. The attempt,
therefore. to lead Southern workmen
into dissatisfaction with their condl-
tion bv persuading them that the less
per diem or per piece, but greater pur-
chasing power of their earnings, should
be changed 10 a higher wage, II sue

Northern employers more than any
body else, inasmuch as the Southern
EMPLOYERS would be crippled in their
operations. and. while employees to
limited extent might have greater pay
the opportunities for the employment Of
a greater number would become more
limited. =,
Southern laborers of all kinds should
view with suspicion every effort to eX'
cite their hostility against their EN-
ployers. whether on a basis Of sym
pathy" with Northern laborers or in re-
spose to the secret agents Of Northern
employers.

There was little change in the local
labor situation the past week, except as
regards the coal miners. After several
DAYS of backing and filing, the miners
of Ohio and Marshall counties are prac-
tically all out, and bid fair TO remain
idle until the end Of the strike. The
fight has been a stiff one, and without
the aid of Mr.. Lewis and others from
Ohio. reinforced by the moral effect OF
Eugene V. Debs' speech, and the Iact
that the labor conference met here it is
doubtful if any material progress would
have been made by those interested in
making the strike universal There Is
no doubt Of the proposition that the
general public very largely sympd-
fbises with the strikers, and there IS
distinct feeling that they have grew

Those persons who believe that the
average labor organization is a species
Of the grOssest form of tyranny Will
congratulate the West Virginia miners
upon their resistance to the efforts Of
men who thrive upon agitation to in-
duce them TO supply the backbone to
the strike in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
other States Whatever may have been
the excellent principles underlying the
organization of various trades. nobody
may calmly read the history of the past
ten years without reaching the conclu-
sion that the tendency Of such cOmbi-
nation has been TO benefit principally
the incOmpetents and those who labor
only with their tongues. From several
sOurces have come statements demon
strating why the West Virginia miners
as a whole have not really been inter
tsted in the strike. For instance. the
special correspondent of the New York
World. writing from the field of agita-
tiOn said:
West Virginia'S coal miners are a set
apart from all others. BY mining in
magiicently thick coal veins for less
they enable their employers to over
than the men Of Ohio and Pennsylvania
come higher freight rates and TO Sc
cure steady contracts. The men get
steady work They are the same as De
Armitt's men are in Pennsylvania

work. They live closer TO their en-
