THE OPERATORS SIDE.
Presented by John b. Garrett in
an Interview.

New York, Sept. 1S-John B. Carrot tt,
vice president of the Lehigh Valley Coal
company in an interview made the fol-
lowing statement in review of the var
ious grievances alleged by the United
Mine Workers to exist in the anthracite
coal fields:
This company conducts no stores, nor
does it exert any influence upon en-
ployes to prefer one merchant above an
other.
1T employs no doctors and makes no
charges against its employees for medical
service to them or their families. In
quiry has satisfied me that the above is
also the case with the companies gen
orally. Serni-monthly pay is observed by
US in few cases, being all in which the
men have demanded it. 1t would be OBJ
served anywhere were the demand made
as called for by law.
The use of the word ton as applied
to 1850 pounds is a misnomeT: ii is
simply a unit of measure, which might
be called a car or a CARLOAD, or by any
other name, and is the quality OF actual
coal, plus bone, slate ard other foreign
tain payment is made under the agreed
scale Of wages.
THE price charged for powder is an
apparent but not a real grievance. In
some regions 2.75 per key is charged in
others $50 per key. This of itself should
be sufficient evidence that the compensa-
ton CT the miner is set independently
of the price of powder, as a net return
for days labor must be essentially the
same in neighboring fields, whether one
or the other price is charged for the
powder.
another evidence that the price Of
powder noes not create an injury to the
miner is shown by the fact that when
the subject was agitated sometime ago
one Of the larger companies offered to
reduce the charge for powder to its

then current value. provided the men
would consent to such revision OF their
wages as would continue the same COM
pensation for their labor as they had
previously received under the agree
ment which was then operative.
This was promptly rejected, showing
that their PURPOSE was TO enect an m
crease of wages a nd that If this could
not be obtained they preferred to main
tain the apparent grievance, which could
be and has been from that time to this
used as a ground of complaint Of unfair
treatment.

grievances from the list formulated by
the United Mine Workers. nothing what

William V. S.Thorne, a director of the
statement after talk with the COM
pany's mine superintendent over the
long distance wire:

which we have taken. / do not think

The sun and stars are Gods

weaves the lights and shadows
that paint the earth and sky

looms of light for a moment
stop; let those flashing shuttles
cease to fly; and instantly this
beautiful world of ours, with
all it's blooms and beauty
blighted, with all it's mirth and
music hushed, would lie naked
and dead on the cold bosom of
eternal night. So it will be with
all human life. 1t has it's spir.

of hope and memory the shin
ing thread of human kindness

mer webs of love around our
hearts and in our homes. Every
tender word we speak, every
blessing we bestow, is a thread
of sunshine woven into some
body's life; all the smiles and
sympathies which come to Us
from other lips and other hearts
are threads of light and love
woven into our own. But LEI
the loom of love for one moment
stop, let it's blissful shuttle
cease to fly, and that moment
happiness will lie dead on tn,
