THE COAL MINERS, TRouR1ns

THE COAL MINERS TROUBLES.
To those who have kept informed on
the details Of the difference existing be-
tween the miners and operators of the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania, the
action of the miners in returning to work
must commend itself as emitting them to
the highest public consideration.
The substance of the miners grievances
has been set forth in these columns.
Most of them are Of nature which Gre
ates a strong presumption that they are
well founded. The answers which the
operating companies offer are, as a rule,
far from satisfactory, judged from the
standpoint Of those whose knowledge can
only be general in it's character. Taking
the complaint that the ton of coal for the
mining of which the men are paid weighs
$3.50 pounds--or a ton and a half actual
weigiht-instead of 2,24O, the answer of
the companies is that when the coal ia
broken up 1t is found that it REQUIRES the
FORMER figures to net a ton Of 2,24O
pounds. Such an answer On its face. is
not very convincing, especially when 1t
is recognized that the bitun1inous miner
is paid go cents for mining a ton Of 2,24O
pounds, while the anthracite rate is but
q cents for the like quantity. The diff
ference il the market price of anthracite
and bituminous coal is great: and. so
far as the statements Of the operators
tend to show, there is no claim that the
cost of mining the one coal is so much
in excess of the other as TO cover the an
parent advantage enjoyed by the BIZ
luminous miner
Another of the existing difficulties
grows out of the price of powder. The
commodity is sold to the men by the
operators. The price fixed by the com
panies is $2.75 a key; in some places at
$3.50, and in the small districts at $3.50. 1t
costs the operators 30 cents key. The
men have for years been trying to get
a reduction, but without success The
answer OF the operators to the mems
demands in this matter is, in effect. that
the price was fixed some years ago when
powder was high; while now, IL it were
to be reduced to the selling price the re-
ductian would necessitate serious re-
duction in the mining scale Of coal. since

STILL VIOLATING CIVIL SERVICE
LAW.
There are almost enough indications al
ready to warrant the conclusion that so far
as the present administration is concerned.
the civil service law is dead letter, and
the campaign is hardly commenced. The
other day the G. o b e called attention to
q gross violation of the law on the part Of
Chairman Dick, Of the Ohio Republican
committee, the same having been ordered
from Washington. Other state chairmen
have not been slow to take the hint. and
are making themselves liable to heavy
fine and imprisonment under the law by
demanding money from federal employees
for campaign use The following letter
was sent by Chairman Weaver, of the
Iowa Republican committee, to all post
masters In the state who were known to
be Republicans, but through mistake
one of the circulars reached Democrat:
