"Messrs. c. II Lawrence Of New

up to the limit now as regards cost
of operating; that the profits of coal
operators in this district have been
less than any place in the state and
that when books show men earning
from SO to s. per day for eight hours
work and in turn refuse 81 for straight
day labor, that 1t is without the
bounds of reason to expect them to
make an advance.
To conclude with, it may be possi-
BILE that the action of the coal miners
in refusing to accept SO day will
throw hundreds of other men out of
employment in the near future, and 1t
is quite evident this will be the case
unless the men take the matter In
their own hands and refuse to permit
outsiders to keep them on the raggel
edge as we honestly believe that
majority are perfectly satisfied with
the pay received and fully realize
they cannot go elsewhere and earn
more money.
The Herald employs union labor
and believes in men receiving gooo
wages and. therefore, feels that 1t is
in a position to counsel every laborlns
man, and to this end all Interested
parties should get together and act
in their own behalf because they can
not go any place in the state and
make as much money as working IN
the La Plata county coal mines.
The Herald will be fair In every re-
spect and will furnish space for any
roplv the miners may have to make
and 1t might he well for any interest
ed parties to make an investigation on
their own account-ascertain the true
conditions and the amount of money
made by coal miners as we believe the
hooks of the different companies VIII
be at their disposal.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1902-05-12
THE COAL STRIKE SITUATION.

Since publishing the news OF the
strike of coal miners the first OF the
month, The Herald has had nothing
TO report concerning the situation,
believing II best for the operators to
handle the matter in conjunction with
the best interests of the town and sur
rounding country In the first place
IL will be remembered delegates from
the different mines met with Mr.,
Gchr some six weeks ago and at that
time wanted to fix the selling price OF
coal as well rs regulate the wage scale,
but as all the operators could not be
consulted an adjournment was taken
until the first of this month. 1t was
generally supposed that the men
would meet In conference May list
and first try To arrive at some amica-
BILE arrangements but instead of this.
quit work without even max
ing demand on any of
the operators, The Herald on May
list published an official statement
from Mr Gehr. setting forth the situa-
ton from his standpoint which was
considered very lame by most people.
In the first place there can be no ex'
rusc advanced for an order for men
to quit work until their demands have
been set forth in writing and given
to operators with certain length of
time to answer This would have
been only common courtesy on the
part OF Mr., Gehr II must be admit
ted that it is always the duty of EN-
ployces and employer to serve notice
OF grievances on either side, and then
for all honorable means to be exhaust
ed before strike is called. But in
this instance Gehr placed the cart be
fore the horse with the result that the
men were compelled to quit work
whether they wanted to or not. we
believe this contention will be held to
be right by every fair.minded man
and Is certainly the policy OF eastern
Workingmeu. II we were to grant
that the demands OF the men were
Just. Il must be admitted that the
manner of asking for raise is against
an precedent,
As noted in yesterdays Herald, the
operators met during the day and
went over the situation in every par
ticular and 1t was clearly demonstrat-
ed that the men were making good
wages. many of them from 50 to 80
per day. aud every experienced miner
49, that the coal mine operators OF
this district have always paid better
wages than other sections of the
country and that no advance could be
made over the present scale for piece
work but if the contentious of Mr.
Gehr were correct that the men were
striking because they could not make
s. per day. they, the operators, would
agree to pay 81 per day That 50 was
all that could be paid under any con
ditions. The fact that the men met
and rejected the So day proposition
is a fair indication that the asser-
tions OF Mr. Gehr We're not In accord
with the facts.
The coal operators of this district
assert they cannot pay more than ~
per day at the present price of coal,
or raise the ton scale that will ena-
Bile men to make from 81 TO ~ day
according to the way they work; that
ii is out of the question TO advance
the price of coal under existing con
tlons that the great consumers OF
coal the mines OF the San Juan, can
not stand raise us most of them are
