While every man is popularity supposed
TO know his own business better than
outsider. II is very difficult for the i'm
partial observer 10 avoid the conclusion
that the anthracite coal miners have made
a mistake in deciding TO continue the
strike. This conviction is made the strong
by the fact that a very large minority
voted against the proposition. Granted
that there are grievances which ought 10
be redressed. the WILLINGNESS OF more than
two-fifths OF the delegates 10 20 back 20
work IS sufficient evidence 10 convince the
general public that these grievances are
not altogether unbearable. Moreover, the
strike was ordered against the counsel OF
President Mitchell and other advocates OF
peace. Perhaps one factor which helped
20 produce this unfortunate result was
the unconciliatory attitude OF the opera
tors. Like the miners. they are supposed

Is no intimation or wide A division OF
sentiment among them was manifest
