That the coal miners OF the country
have been very poorly paid for several
years past is not questioned by any.
In many districts they have not had full
employment even at the starvation wages
given them, and when working on half
time, as was the case in some sections.
their compensation fell far below the
amount necessary even for the most fru-
gal livelihood for themselves and fami-
lies But win the present strike improve
The condition of the coal miners7 This
is very grave question, and one that
should be most soberiy considered. II
their condition can be improved. the
strike is entirely jusdhable; but if the
stagnation in the coal business Of the
country shall compel employers to hold
out for any considerable period against
the demands OF the miners. the loss to
both employers and miners must be
measured by millions. 1t should be borne
in mind that as employers are weakened
in their ability to pay by the loss OF
business for some months, with the possi-
ble transfer Of their trade TO other sec
tons. the likelihood of permanently In
creased wages is necessarily lessened. 1t
is now estimated that 125,O00 coal miners
are engaged In a strike. Assuming that
their wages averaged 81 per day, the
weekly loss to these miners would be
sI5o.OOo. II the strike shall last ten
weeks. the loss to labor alone would be
sT,500.e0O. If the strike shall last ten
weeks and the miners then gain the in
crease Of IS per cent demanded, it would
require them to work for 55 weeks at
the increased rates to restore the loss
they sustain by ten weeks of idleness.
This is not theory; it is stubborn facts
and figures which should be most care
fully and dispassIoaately considered by
those who engage in a strike when there
is universal business and Industrial pa
ralysis throughout the country.

A report comes from Wisconsin that
an edict has gone forth from the Ma
tional Dairy Union that butterine must
be legislated out Of the United States.
Butter dealers in that state and in Hi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka. Kansas. Michigan and the Dakotas-
all large butter-producing states-it is
said, are forming an organization Of
more than 10000 voters who viii work
INCREASINGLY for legislation that will pre-
vent the coloring Of butter substitutes.
The plan is TO raise a fighting capital Of
sl.OO0.O0o, if necessary. before the legis-
latures of these dairy states meet again,
and enact some state laws that win drive
the butterine manufacturers from their
strongholds. If this is not successful
they will attempt 10 gain control Of con-
gress. The union seems to have unbound
ed confidence in its ability to protect its
own industry, but the squelching of the
butterine trade is not going TO be as easy
as might be imagined, even with the aid
Of million Of Doodle. OF course the
crusade is entirely selfish one, and the
butter dealers are not concerning them
selves abou: the healthful or unhealthful
effects Of the use Of butterine. But any
legislature that lends iteslf TO the carry
ing out of this crusade can defend its
action only on the ground Of the preser-
yation OF the public health. 1t will be
interesting TO note how much this claim
will enter into the contest
