IL possible ancyiaiops and defenses being ts,en into
account it must be confessed that the prospect of encotrn-
ter'ng a combination Of a perfect labor union and a perfect
employers association, both engaged in providing a neces-
sary OF life, and both bent in raising its price, is a ormida-
bic one Tor society at large. Democratic society has, BY its
legislation and by its public opinion, made such a combina-
ton possible, and democratic society must guard against
dangers which, in its pursuit OF liberty, it has endangered.

inspector, Tor the year 1903, viii
come from the public printer in
few days. Advance sheets indicate
splendid showing for the year.
The report declares the ''year 1908
to have been the most prosperous
known to both miner and operator
in the history Of the state. The de-
mand for coal was extremely good,
the price paid for mining was in
creased. and the price received for
the product was much better than
for many years. The coal produc-
ton for 1903 sold at the mines for
an average of SI.sS per ton, with =
total value Of S6,73o,5IS. This,
compared with the value Of the
out-put for the previous year, which
was S., ,3s5,S3z, shows an increase
Of 81, ,4oi ,6S3, or z6.37 per cent.
The report states that 'the coal in
dustry Of the state employed during
the winter season 1857 men and
during the summer season 1887. or
IN average through the year Of g.
III men. There were S4S mines
operated during the year.
The subject of accidents is taken
up. and the report says: The to-
tai number of accidents was SO of
which II were fatal aud :. nOntatal.
These accidents were dueto various
causes-for instance. q were due
to falls Of roof, the most fruitful
cause OF accidents in coal mines,
not only in our state, but in all other
states; there were SIX accidents due
