LAST LETTERS OF DOOMED MINERS

Grief and anger are violently aroused by
a reading Of the pathetic letters inscribed
in the last moments of ebbing lives by
those poor miners who died in the Coal
Creek, Tenn, coal mine disaster.
Those piteous letters Of farewell throw
new light on the quality of men who
toll in the cheerless collieries that the
rest of us may ride on trains, ship goods,
run factories and heat our homes and Of
fees and warerooms. Their last thoughts
were of their families and of the future
life The letters testify to deep devotion
to family, profound belief in God and
touching confidence In the life everlast-
ing They are strong reminders that true
hearts. serious minds and noble aspira-
lions are often concealed by grimy and
shabby work clothes.
The letters are unspeakably pathetic
They have no doubt moved thousands OF
men and women to tears: Think OF the
tragic nature Of the environment. Slowly
suffocating. the few last survivors or
force, of 227, surrounded by their dead
comrades, some Of them sons and broth
ers took their last moments OF vitality
to compose, painfully letters Of farewell
to wives and mothers and children. Cool
ly they awaited death. The fact that there
was no hope did not make them frantic
There was no railing against God or man
| Only simple and affecting resignation
and an inexpressible regret to leave life
so miserably.
Yet the readers of those ineffably sad
letters can not share the peace OF mind
| the heroic miners had. The readers feel
in their hearts an impulse that cries for
| something like vengeance. Is 1t neces-
sary that so many valuable lives shall be
snuffed out so uselessly- at Coal Greek or
| in the hundred other mines where men die
| on the average of one a week the year
| through in each mine? Is it not possible
! to take precautions that will save some
Of these lives, the lives of poor men who
must.do such dangerous work or 2starve?
Human life is not priced in coal mines
as highly as dividends. It's time for the
state to do what the mining companies do
not do The most rigid precautions for
safety should be prescribed by law and
| mercilessly enforced.
The mine owner who does not do all
that he. can to protect the lives of his
workmen is guilty Of a great crime. He
should be confronted with laws that re-
mind him of that fact, that make the
| prison loom large before him. 49,.
1t would be rash for a distant commen-
tator to undertake to pass Judgment on
the Coal Creek or any other particular
/ disaster, but it is ominously significant
| that the Coal Creek mine was not supplied
with an adequate amount Of air and that
the fact had been officially reported a
year ago. State Commissioner of Labor
R. A shifHet report ed then that whereas
the 164 men he found working in the mine
required 1920 cubic feet Of air minute,
they were supplied with only 5000. 49,,
| And when the disaster came there were
227 men and boys working in that same

that the committee go into executive SEES

cussed in private. Spectators took the hint
and withdrew, and the fifty members of the
committee had quiet little heart to- heart
talk.
John Lind was the text of the discussion,
and the unanimous sentiment of the com
mittee was that he must be nominated if he
would run. Nobody else was considered, .
said Chairman Rosng. 1T was all Lind,

be nominated. And we have hopes that he

1t is evident that there will be no at

his position before the convention meets. The
party leaders know that if given chance,
he will emphatically refuse to be considered.
They will let him alone, and trust that he
will not throw down. the convention and
