In this, it is Significantly said
their organization is in opposition to the

All good people will sympathize
with them in any movement looking
to good order, but the conditions ought
to compel the admission that there are
too many sources of coal supply in the
country to make either strike or arbl-
tration effective as wage stlmulator.
The buyer in quest of the cheapest
coal is the final arbiter, and, general
ly, he is not only too far away from
the producer for els a els dealing, but
his necessities foreclose any expression
