The coal miners near Des
Moines, Iowa, are on a strike.
Not satisfied with the wonderful
prosperity that has already come
to them, they r demanding
still higher wages. They have
saved so much that they have
become Independent and saucy.
They have the cheek to demand
80 cents a day and unless they
get that tremendous wage they
won't work any more. Do they
want to ride in carriages and
dress in purple and fine linen ?
Do they want to get rich in forty
days ? Upon what meat do these
Caesars feed that they have
grown SO great ? Eighty cents
a day (! 1t is an outrage on the
poor, hardworking coal barons.
1t will ruin them entirely. In
good times like these, labor
ought to be we'll paid, but 80
cents a day is too much. They
will soon accumulate a fortune
and become a menace to the
community. No wonder the mine
owners are importing southern
negroes when northern white
men ask such exhorbitant and
unreasonable prices.
