have now quit work, and it remains to
be seen whether or not the operators
can supply their places. If they fail
to do so the mines will DO flooded and
much valuable property will be either
wholly destroyed or seriously injured.
Hero Is an Interesting illustration OF
the fact that interests Of labor anu cap
ital. so-called. are SO closely interwos
ven as to be practically identical. Most
of these men who work in the mines in
whatever capacity have their homes In
that section Of the State and are depend
ent upon the mines for a livelihood. The
mines to them are what crop lands
would be to a colony Of farmers who
worked the fields on shares. II Inc mine
workers union succeeds in it's underta-
king to destroy the mines. while inflict-
ing terrible loss upon the mine-owners.
it will necessarily infiict terrible loss
upon the miners also and upon the en-
gineers and the pump-runners and all
others who get their living from that
source, to say nothing of the distress
which will be brought upon incidental
industries in that vicinity. II the mines
are saved it will be in spite of the efforts
of this organization to destroy them 1t
is clearly to the interest Of all concerned,
to the miners as well as to the owners
Of the mines, that the pumps be Kept
going and the waters be kept down
This, we say, shows how intimately
associated are the interests OF labor ano
capital in that section and in all sec
tons Of the country. Inc one is de-
pendent upon the other. What nurts
one hurts the other, what helps one helps
the other. No man liveth to himself.
But the great question involved in the
struggle is this. The miners had
perfect right to strike, no matter what
their grievances were, no matter how
well paid they were. The Mine work
ers' Union also had perfect right TO
call out the pump-runners and engineers
and fremen. There was nc contract
agreement with their employers and they
were under no obligation to work if they
chose to remain idle. If the owners OF
the mines are not able to keep the mines
from flooding it is their misfortune.
They refused the demand Of their work
men and assumed the entire responsible
ity of keeping the pumps going.
Up to this point however, intudlcious
it may be in the miners to pursue TINS
course, they are clearly within thelr
rights. But the operators have rights
also which must be respected and when
must be protected. AS the union men VIII
not work for them on their terms, they
must employ non union men in order 10
keep their property from being destroy
ed. They 1--we perfect right In law
to do this. They have q perfect right
to refuse to employ men except upon
their own terms They have pertect
right to employ non-un!on men, ana II
the government Of Pennsylvania GOES
not protect them in that right oustice
in the State of Pennsylvania is at 10"
ebb and property rights are held In very
low esteem.

What Proclamation Has Saved Us
The new Constitution is to be proclaim
ed This is in accordance with the ex-
pressed will Of a majority of the white
men of Virginia. They are entirely sat
isfed with the new Consitutlon-hence
they want it made the organic law OF the
land by the simplest and shortest way
possible. Moreover, in deciding to pro
claim the Constitution, the convention
has saved Virginia from bitter. and
perhaps, disgraceful political campaign.
It is useless to attempt to disguise the
fact that the pleas for submitting the
Constitution to the present electorate
covered a determined purpose to Kill IT,
on the part, of those who have repeatedly
shown that they are opposed to any
and all constitutional reform. 1t IS NOR
ally certain that had the convention de-
clared for submission, Virginia Woulo
have been called on to witness that
most oninous and most disgusting OF
all signts-white men using the negro
vote against white men. Proclamation
has saved us from that-Portsmouth

The Moral View.

From a moral standpoint the course Is
proper. The convention has full power
in the premises Is II not better tilat
II should exercise this power in a per-
fectlv omen, manly way than submit the
dra r. to a vote and have it either carried
or defeated, no matter which, by methods
that we know in parts of the State are
tainted with fraud? 1t,seems to US there
can he no substantial negative to this
question. and that the only perfectly
honorable course under all the circum-
stances. is to proclaim the Constitution.
Then if the people do not like It they
can get rid of it in very snort tlme
by amendment or by calling announcer con-
vention to undo the work OF TINS one

We certainly do not want the law ex-

the law will be dismal failure, and the

The OnIy Thing to Do.

{ ne oIty ithi5 "
The convention reached very wise
and sensible conclusion. in deciding TO
proclaim the new Constitution. Aside
from the inherent virtue and good policy
of such a step, it was undoubtedly IN
consonance with the wishes of a large
majority of Virginia Democrats The
so-called Norfolk pledge did not bother
them, nor were they deferred in express
ing their sentiments by dire predictions
as to this mode of putting the new IN
strunent into effect. They were satisfied
with it, abundantly satisfied; and they
recognized the folly of submitting 1t 70
an electorate, formidable portion OF
which it disfranchised. True, 1t might
have been ratified, but such result was
at best vaguely problematical, unless, IN
deed. resort was had to unfair election
me,nods. This contingency the people
could only contemplate with quick re-
sentiment The idea that their new or
ganic law was to begin its life stained
with fraud and dishonor they could not
tolerate. To them, there appeared only
a single solution of the problem, the open
and courageous one of proclamation: and
tney rejoice exceedingly in the knoWl-
edge that their wishes have prevailed
