this kind and the first OF the coming April
marks the elimination OF the existing
agreement between operators and men.

II means suffering not only for those

which bring them bread.
The operators of the various collieries
have had their experience, the miners
have had theirs and the masses suffered.
All concerned lost. beyond a doubt, for "A
dollar once lost can never be regained
