The affair seemed to turn out pretty
well right from the start Handsome
dividends were paid all through the
summer and during the winter, and
great joy was in the home of this man

since then the losses have been increas-

or what labor gets its share. In the
thirteenth annual report Of the commission
er of labor, in which comparison is made
between machine and hand labor" Mr..
Carroll d. Wright says. page II. vol. /. that
from 1891 to 1897 1t cost $43. 40 to mine 100
tons Of bituminous coal, and from
1895 to 1897 it cost 1920 This includes
repairs to machinery and TOOLS and in fact
everything except the cost of the few ami
mails used in and about the mines. On
page 423 he says that in one instance it
cost $S7. .35 to haul ZOO tons of freight $50
miles and in another instance. 1t cost $47.71
to haul 100 tons ninety-one miles. or about
cents ton for every 100 miles. In
other words the actual labor cost of ton
of coal delivered In Washington is only a
tritie above ID cents. All that Is paid for it
above that price is paid for interest, rent
and profit, three of the worst thieves that
ever held up" an unsuspecting public.

action in pursuance of settlement
reached between the parties.
When the cause was called in court We'd

until after meeting of the board of di-
rectors Of the association, scheduled for
yesterday, could be held. 1t is understood
that the directors authorized President
Shipp to reinstate Mr.. Cook That having
been done the relief sought by Mr.. Cook in
his bill for injunction was obtained. The
association, 1t is said, assumed the cost

premium payment for August had not been
paid within thirty days from the lst of

declared that the complainant called at

If ii be good for the coal industry, why not

are in a worse condition today than the
black slaves ever were.

miners and other laborers and tell them
that they and all those who do useful labor
should cooperate and that the coal fields
and all means of production and distribu-

the people. that is the government. he is
