coal is mined in that district at cost
OF cents Ton. Until short time ago
the cost OF production was . cents a

lean miners the coal barons Invariably
make comparisons with the cost OF pro
duction In other parts Of the world,
and this tends to keep the earnings OF
the American ut tho lowest possible
point. About the only influence In this
country which has combated tho wage
reducing tendency OF the coal barOns
has been the inslstent and persistent
effort OF the Hearst papers, which are
