The Greedy CoaI Trust.

The coal miners of the anthracite
fields earn about S33 month. They
ask an advance of 20 per cent in piece
work, which President Mitchell says
would enable them to earn from S39
to $40 per month. As for the reduc-
ton of hours of labor, which is also
demanded, il is a rule that now pre-
walls i'm many trades.
The coal trust was forced to grant
the men in its employ an increase in
wages two years ago. as the result of
a strike. But the trust lost nothing
i'm rhe transaction. II increased the
price of coal fifty cents ton. which
added S19.OOO.OOO TO its profits. The
coal trust never takes the risk of a
loss. II saddles that upon the CON
sumner.
The wonder is that the coal trust
never inquiries how men can live ON
S33 a month. Another trust has
raised the price of meat. The cost
of practically every necessary of
life has been advanced. That being
true. why should not wages advance
in proportion?
The head of the coal trust is j. j..
Morgan. He is also part and parcel
OF other trusts. His income from one
source last year was $12.0OO.OOO. Why
should such a man oppose the pay
ment of fair wages?
The coal mine owners should be fair
and just and pay the operatives wages
beyond starvation point.
