STARK COUNTY SALOONS.
What They Pay Into the Treas,
ury and Where the Money
Goes.

Auditor Reed has completed his state
ment of the collection of Dow taxes on
the saloons in Stark county for the past
half year. The statistics show that
there are 252 saloons doing business in
the county. These are distributed as
follows: Canton, 124; Masillon, 81; Alli-
ance, 25; Canal Fulton, 6; Navarro, 6;
Louisville, 4; Beach City, 2; Osnaburg,
3; Magnolia, l; Waynesburg, 2.
The amount received from these in IL
cense fees Is $43,579. OF this the state
gets $13,073.70, the poor fund receives
$9,226.5S, the municipal police fund gets
$10,2S9.70, and the municipal general
revenue fund gets $1O,2S9.7O.

do not anticipate any serious trouble,
nor will there be any interruption of the
business whatever, as we probably have
one hundred thousand to one hundred
and fifty thousand tons of finished pro-
duct. This is a month or six weeks
supply. 1t is barely possible these men
may object to the 2h per cent. we are
putting in sinking fund for the ben
eft of all our mill employees. In any
event, these labor troubles would not
materially interfere with our output if
none of these mills were operated in
the present year.

OPERATOR GETS
BEST PROFIT
And Holds Up Another Advance
as BugabOO.
THAT is THE CLAIM MADE
by the Coal MIners--Contended That They
Have Received No Benefit From
the Recent Advance
Massillon News.
Special to News-Democrat.

Special to News-Democrat.
Massillon, Jan. 16-If the demand Of
the miners for 32 cents per ton is ac-
ceded to it will mean that consumers
will pay about So 25 per ton for bitumin-
Gus coal. Operators generally, how
ever, say that the demand is unreas-
enable and exorbitant and the rate ask
ed for will not be granted. The miners
demand for a half holiday also does not
meet with the approval of the mine
owners and in all probability will not
be granted.
The man with the pick contends that
the operator holds up the promised ad-
vance in the price of coal to the con-
sumner as the bugaboo to influence pub
lie sentiment against the demands OF
the miner. In a conversation with the
News Democrat man, coal-dust be-
grimed old man who has spent years
nburrowing among the hills of the Mas
sillon district, said:
ITS the same old story when we want
little of the profit flowing into the
Golfers of the operators. We are at once
blamed for all sorts of thugs, seeming
ly beyond our control. For instance, the
operators now say that if we are grant
ed the increase demanded coal will so
away up in price and we ure the cause
of it. Now, don't you know coal has al
ready made big jump in price. Did
the miners cause it? Are we reaping
one cent more for our wives and fami-
lies tnan we did before the rise? / in
sist that not a single digger-not one
of the men who rely on a keg of powder
and a fuse or a keen pointed IiCk for his
| sustenanCe has secured a p3nny of the
| increase.
"Then who gets it?" asked the repor-
| ter.
"I'n tell you who gets it," replied the
| miner. THE increase in MassillOn coal
has been about so cents ton. The OPP
orator puts thirty-five cents in his pock-
ct, the railways get ten cents more than
they received before the raise, and the
poor coal hauler gets only five cents
more. Do you notice any more bread
money for us? Not much. The other
fellow is always getting it. He puts
money in his purse and then goes before
the people with the annual cry that the
miner is knocking again and must be
accommodated. So prices go up, but we
never receive even a small slice of the
accommodation.
| "Of course in this matter it is clear
and plain and we should receive what
we ask for without any further advance
in prices to the consumer. have hopes
that the operators will grant us the
raise. They have made money under all
conditions and are gathering a rich har-
vest now. We say, give us an honest
share; live and let live. What will be
done remains cOnjeCtural, but / believe
the operators will be just"
| The operators, it was learned, are
willing to grant an increase of about ten
cents a ton. but do not want to 20
higher.
