What's il all AbOut1

There seems TO be consider
able misunderstanding of the
ground of the anthracite strike,
Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt asserting
that it's only object is the re-
cognition of the union.
Whatever may be the secret.
occult, real truth, the avowed
object as stated by Mr..
Mitchell are better wages,
shoI ter hours and the adoption
of the long ton as the measure
Of the miners product.
This last is a very serious
matter.
The operators sell coal at
2240 pounds a ton. But they
make the miners turn in $500 to
1000 pounds and call it ton.
Mr.. Hewitt is certainly mis-
taken in thinking recognition is
the only object That may be
a factor in the con troversy,
but it is not the only or evet
the principal claim.
1t is a singular fact that thu
controversy, which has raget
three mouths and upset thu
business of the whole country
has never been explained b.
the parties to it. Mr.. MITCHELL
statements are sided, O
course, and the operators hav
nothing to say. But the pee

 At it's meeting yesterday various citi- zens of the County near the Crenshaw County line appeared before the Board in reference to having repairs made on the Iabine road.
