the figures award bltumlnous coal the
palm not only for total production in
tons, but for value II Is beyond the
scope of this article to inquire into the
cause Of the coal strikes or the relative
responsibility OF miners and opera tors,
but II may be mentioned In passing that
the army OF soft coal miners vastly ex-
ceeds that Of the hard coalers, though
Its members are spread out over a vast
er area. While the tonnage Of anthra-
cite now sent to market IL fully so per
cent greater than 1t was ten years ago.
the production of bltumlnous coal has
Increased nearly foupfold, and It's army
OF miners has kept pace with It's enor-
nous advance. Twenty years ago II
was estimated that the available tom
mage Of bltumnous coal in Pennsylvania
exceeded 33,5472O0,OO0 tons, and last
year 1t produced in excess OF Sc, 900, 900

most CT the coal distributed throughout
the United States in its vast fields, ex-

to its wealth.
Rewriting to the question Of existing
differences between the miners Of hard

occurs to the observing mind that there

to be so.

Utah it has, of course, almost sohdiy; !;
and, having gained Statehood by
deliberate, persistent lying, 1t feeis
tolerably secure and is resolved to do
as il pleases without reference to
American sentiment Or law. That over
1,5W men are living today with polys
gamous wives is openly confessed: and
that considerable number Of polyga-
nous relations have been entered into
since Statehood and since the mani

pretending to do away with polygamy
is very certain, although legal proof
IS. naturally, not easy to obtain. Al
ready Mormonism, besides dominating
Utah, holds, or claims to hold, the
balance of power in Idaho, Wyoming,
Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and New
Mexico. It is at least certain. that,
by colonies and other means, they are
continually extending their influence
in these neigh boring States; and the
politicians OF that section, anxious for
votes IN close elections, viii be very.
sure not to antagonize so powerful q
force. Educational and missionary
operations should, Of course, be push
ed in that region. The preaching Of
the Gospel and the teaching of Chris

and can easily be made to do more. for
the saving of the situation. Letting
