foundry pathetic, vital with eloquence
and throbbing with splendid sincerity.
Here it u:
Involved in this fight are questions
weightier than any question of dollars
and cents. The present miner has had
his day. He has been oppressed and
ground down, but their is another gen
GRAFTON coming up, generation Of chill
dren prematurely doomed to the whirl
Of the mill and the noise and blackness
Of the breakers. 1t is for these little
children we are fighting We have not
underes;imated the strength Of our OPP
ponents; we have not overestimated our
own power of resistance. 1t was with
quaking of hearts that we called for
strike. 1t was with a quaking of
hearts that we asked for our last pay
envelopes, but in the grimy, bruised
hand Of the miner was the little white
hand Of child, child like the children
of the rich, and in the heart Of the min
er was the soul-rooted determination to
starve to the last crust of bread and
fight out the long dreary battle to win
life for the child and secure for it a
place in the world in keeping with ad-
vancing civilization.

THE COAL, STRIKE.

1t has been learned by government
officials that one of the serious results OF
the coal strike is that most Of the an
thracite mines are more than half filled
with water and that it will take at least
three months to pump them out that
they may be worked. This is phase
Of the situation which has been over
looked the fact now is conclusive that
the shortage of the coal supplythis win
ter will entail great hardship and suffer
ing on vast numbers Of innocent people.
When winter comes OH with all its bit
ing cold and the people are unable to
keep themselves comfortable for lack of
anthracite fuel the severity of the con
sequences of the strike will be felt
This great coal strike should lead to
some means whereby capital and labor
should adjust their disputes without
imperiling the peace and happiness OF
the nation. Shortage of coal in the
winter inevitably results in loss Of com
fort and consequent misery. Such
strikes ~ TIE coal strike gives great
force TO socialistic theories. And who can
wonder at it.
