The Coal Operators, Answer.

The reply of the hard coal operators

blockade which was causing great public

The Great Mine Horror.

The French mine disaster Is of such vast
proportions that It's true significance is diff
ficult to grasp. Between eleven and twelve
hundred lives have been snuffed out at
once. Nothing OF the kind has ever oc-
CURED in this country on such a scale. al
though mine entombments and explosions
involving scores of lives have been often
reported from various sections. In France
the worst disaster previous TO this time
was that OF 1885. when 293 persons were
killed and so were injured.
\ disaster of this magnitude necessarily
has most serious effect upon the region In
which it is suffered. In some of the villages
every man has been killed. In one village
clone 500 were lost. or course. In such cir
cumstances there is great suffering on the
Tart Of the families OF the miners The
mine owners are legally responsible TO the
widows of victims OF such disasters, being
required 10 pay pensions OF a small per-
Centage Of the wages OF the husbands
This plttance, however, does not meet the
needs OF the case, and already the French
government has hal to come forward with
a grant, first Of 10, 600 francs TO meet the
most pressing necessities OF the hour, TO be
followed by SEQ 600 francs for the relief of
continued distress.
This Wholesale destruction Of life places
the disaster upon par with the volcanic
eruption on the Island of Martinique for
the degree OF completeness Of destruction
The few survivors who have been brought
10 the surface tell tales OF horror. The UNI
dergrouud galleries are choked with dead
bodies. There was apparently. save in the
Iarest cases, no chance whatever for es-

ply OF the operators. these boards have sat
isfactoriiy and promptly met ell emsrgsu-
cies arising during the three years OF their
operation. It may bs confidently expected
that they will continue thus to serve as a
buffer between the owners and the workers,
to the end OF dispensing Justice at the
mines.
The principal demands Of the union are
the establishment OF the eight-hour day at
the coliertes and the formal recognition OF
the union. To these demands the operators
advance specific objections. Against the
eight-hour day they urge that such a rule
will result in an increase In the retail price
OF hard coal. which is already as high as
the public win stand. They frankly ac-
knowledge that the consumer must pay the
difference in the cost of mining. and they
warn the miners that an Increase in the
market rates Will not be tolerated. Against
the recognition of the union they offer two
arguments One Is that they are not will
ing to bind themselves by legal obligations,
as by the proposed contract. to an organ
ization which is dominated by representa-
tives of rival organization. The other II
that they regard as far more equitable and
practicable an extension OF the three-year
agreement based upon a careful investiga-
ton of all the circumstances. The one-year
contract with the union will render neces-
sary- annual readjustment.
This position on the part Of the operators
Is reasonable. 1t should not necessarily
lead to strike. II the union considers that
IT has grounds for a strike It will assume
very heavy responsibility. 1t viii be try

The Splitting Habit.
From the Medical News.

htuICaI -Ne"s'
In spite OF the rather spasmodic enforce
ment OF anti-spitting regulations. there are
some valuable results Of the agitation.
Many sptters have been led to see them
selves as others see them and have re-
formed 10 a certain extent. The promtscu-
GUS splitting that used to be common In cars
and In public places is certainly lessened
and the Improvement is still progressing. A
Rochester On. V paper says that the
educational effect OF the agitation has been
marked IN that vicinity The work OF the
has been mainly educative, the few In
stances of their enforcement serving mostly
to point a moral. There is a certain class
OF mankind to whom only penalties will APP
peal. but for the great mass of approx
mately decent people the agitation of tho
subject Is constantly being more and more
effective. The bad habit OF splitting in
public places bids fair to be before long a
thing OF the past.
