Houston Post: 1t is very strange
that the coal mine operators refuse
the men rate of 60 cents a ton on
coal. Under the new tariff law the
duty is 60 cents, and as this is aimed
merely to cover the difference between
the wages of American miners and
foreign miners it would follow that
either the foreign miners receive less
than 2 cents a ton or the operators
are unjustly refusing to give the men
the benefit of The tariff tax imposed
