The greatest industrial contest of the
age is still on. The mine owners say
that there is nothing to arbitrate, and
refuse to deal with Mitchell or any
other agent Of the miners. The strike
effects directly 10000 and indirectly
many thousands more. The loss in
wages is reaching $25o,1oo a day. The
mine owners claim to pay their men 20
cents per ton for mining coal, but as
the miners have to mine from 2500 to
5000 pounds of coal for ton, the price
for 1000 pounds will average not over
so cents
The last 10 per cent raise in wages
for mining resulted in large increase
in the cost Of coal, 80 that for each 10
cents the miners received the consumer
was forced to pay so cents extra. It
may be asked why the coal barons
don't resort to the same trick again,
j. e., grant the demands of the miners
and raise the price of coal five times as
much?
First, the coal trust realizes that a
gigantic protest came from the con-
sumers the last time this was done,
and that another dose of the same
medicine might cause a million families
to burn wood, oil or gas, and thus
greatly reduce the business of the
powerful syndicates.
We ask you to consider this: The
miner receives not over fifty cents per
ton for mining coal. You pay from five
dollars to seven dollars a ton. How do
you like it?
Millions of years ago Nature stored
away the coal for the use of man. For
thousands Of centuries Nature was con-
verting rank and tropic vegetation
into coal, and for thousands Of other
centuries it was packed into hard
condition by the pressure Of the weight
Of the earth above. To-day, men dig it
out: other men sell it.
The life Of the miner at best is a
horrible one. In the one State Of Penn
sylvania during the past 10 years, 4,a74
men lost their lives in coal mines.
War is not as dangerous as mining.
Knowing the conditions Of this in
dustry, most Of us would gladly pay 10
or 20 cents If that 10 or 20 cents in ad-
dition for each ton Of coal went to- the
minsr-hut, where n goes 70 the miner nina

Eighty. per cent. Of the coal producA&dds = !
in this country is owned and controlled
by eight great Goa. combines, whose
community of interests" constitute an
ironclad trust that has monopolized one
Of natures products, and as result,
both the producer and consumer are
robbed.
The remedy for this evil is organiza-
ton. Let us unite, and use all our
power, economically and politically, to
nationaiize the coal miners of the ma
ton. This and this alone will give JUS
tice to the 10000 coal miners and
76, ,0o0, 900 consumers. The A. F. of L.
has declared over and over again for
the government ownership of the coal
mines. The trade unions in all nations
demand this; New Zealand has already
bought the largest mine in that prog
ressive nation.
Organized labor has the power to
apply the remedy.

"Hark! bark! the dogs do bark,
. The beggars have been to town,
Some IN rags, some in jags,
And some in silken gown.
Last week the coal agents held q
meeting in this city. They held a ban
quet at the Spalding on the evening of
their adjournment, and it is said that
Mumm was richer the next day by the
price Of 800 quarts.
On July list the price of coal advanced
10 cents, yet the miners are still strik-
ing for ten per cent increase in wages
The cause for tine advance in the price
Of coal is not given because the wages of
thu miners have increased, but because
there is a scarcity, so they say, on the
market Wouldn't this jar you, and
would it not jar you worse to think that
the people will permit few coal barons
and their toadyist liskspittles to con-
tipually rob them on a necessity of life
such as coal is in this part of the
country, with barely word of protest ?
The feeble voice of the miner is heard
With deafness, because the people in
their narrow imagination, think that
more wages to the miner means more
money for coal. Why the cold-blooded
coal operators have been known to in
crease the price of coal rs cents, and
OH the very same day have cut the
wages of thor employees 10 per cent.
There is lot of sympathy wasted on
the coal barons, by people who should
keep it for worthier ones.
There is Il lesson in the coal strike,
and in the arbitrary and unwarranted
advance in the price of coal. 1t is that
the coal mines should he the property of
the people as the Creator intended they
should he.
Every strike vii! teach this to the
miners and every raise in the price of
ccal will teach this to at least few
people, especially those who suffer for
tile want of it.

The tug trust, eonstituent company
the greatest financial institution in the
world, that has refused to>1ea1 with it's
licensed men for nearly three months
past, is up against some competition.
The striking tugmen are now in busi-
ness for themselves. They did Tues
day what they have threatened to do
for weeks-established an independent
tug line.
One tug went into commission Tues
day evening, and another went in yes
terday. The union will be in business
until the strike is settled, and there is
no question but what success will be
theirs.
Until this week it had been hoped
that a. settlement would be reached,
but the trust desires to crush the tug
mems union. The men see this, and
hence have resolved to get work, even
if they had to use the union to engage
boats for them. They have too much
manhood to return to the trust unless
every member is taken back under
union conditions with them. During
the strike but four members have de-
serted them, Three of this four have
been under financial obligations to the
union? Don't you know that these
are the kind Of men who always desert
q cause at critical time?
While there has been more or less
talk Of g. local Independent towing
company manned by. the striking
licensed tugmen, many thought it was
out of the question. The tug Crosby
was secured from Butler & Ryan, It's
owners Monday morning, and half
dozen men went to work to fit her
out. When evening came she was
ready for business and got a couple Of
tows. The men say there was work
enough offered them last night for
four tugs. The tug Palmer, a head Of
the lakes craft, which has not been
in commission this year has also been
secured and work. of fitting her up will
begin today. Another boat is expected
to be added to the fleet this week and
q couple or more will follow next week
should : the business warrant it..
Where the tugs are to come from is
not known but it is expected they will
be brought here from some other port.
The men have a temporary office at
CLOVIS dock on. Fifth avenue West.
Capt. Ben. J. Howard has been selected
to manage the affairs Of the company.
He is an experienced boatman. and
formerly owned the Bon Voyage
The tugs are leased, and will be
