We are told that the miners
along the Kanawha Valley, have
agreed to the SO cent rate adopted
at the convention at Columbus,
Ohio, but refuse to go to work un-
til the operators accede to their de-
mands to examine all of their CON
tracts made for supplying coal, and
to examine their invoices for goods
purchased for their company stores,
&c. This is going further than
the operators will permit, and fur
Their than they have the right to
go. They can get their price 59c.
for digging, and with this they
seem satisfied, but refuse to go in
to the banks until the other I'M
reasonable demands are acceded to.
There is now strong talk of the OPP
orators starting their mines with
non-union labor.

In a speech at GAINESVILLE last
Friday night Senator Hanna de-
cIared that IT was his policy always
to keep his men employed even If
he lost money himself. We be-
lieve this story to be true.
Throughout our experience we
have always observed that the rich
invariably sacrifice their earnings
and accommodations to aid their
employees. They never reduce
wages, but always increase them.
They send their employees on trips,
dead head in costly private car,
while themselves buy a ticket and
ride in smoker. Whenever times
are hard and business stagnant
factories are started up; solely that
the workingmen can draw a fat
weeks wages on Saturday night.
1t brings feeling of christian
consolation to us to be able to note
that all the liars are not all in the
newspaper business. Parkersburg

A great many men throughout
the country, including plenty of
really swell fellows, have got it in
to their heads, rightly or wrongly
end we are by no means sure
that it isn't rightly-that there is
no reason why any man should pay
more than $500 to $500 for a pair
of shoes, and to say the least, the
idea has this foundation in reason,
that excellent shoes are now made
for $500. To pay $500 to $1,000
for pair of shoes is simply throw
ing away money, and in many ca
ses this is done to crafty mista-
ken notion that none but your IA
yorite shoemaker is worthy to adj
orn your feet. The recent improve
mentslin shoe machinery make it
possible, as shown by the well
known w. L. Douglas $500 shoe,
to produce shoe today that will
compare favorably in style, wear
ing qualities and comfort with
