PROVED HIS RIGHT TO DRINK
Unknown Lawyer Went to Some
Trouble to Get Even with
the Judge.

A western lawyer says that he was
once in court in Missouri when
young man most fastidiously dressed
sauntered into the temple of justice.
None of the officials of the court had
ever seen him before, and as the pro-
ceedings were unimportant and some
what tedious, it CHANGED that the
stranger attracted some attention, re-
lates Lippincott's Magazine. On his
part he eyed the judge narrowly, "sized
up" all the attorneys, drummed loudly
on the bench in front of him, and
finally rose and sauntered up to the
bar, where he poured out for himself
q glass of iced water.
The judge presiding, nervous and
testy old fellow, had himself observed
the young man, and by his frowns had
given evidence of his disapproval.
When the stranger had boldly marched
up to the bar and had taken the water,
it looked as If the judge would boil
over with indignation at this eXhibi-
ton of temerity, amounting almost to
contempt. THAT water, sir" roared
Lne Judge, Is lOT dIloluSyS anu OtieI
officials of this court"
Whereupon the strange young man
turned red and left the courtroom. But
the court was to see more of him; for
in about half an hour he returned, bear
ing in his hand roll of parchment.
The judge now glared at him in the
most savage manner, but the young
man flinched not. Finally, during lull
in the proceedings, the eccentric young
person addressed the court:
"Your honor"
What is it. sir?"
~ wish, your honor, to submit to
this honorable court, my certificate OF
admission to practice in the supreme
court and all other courts of this
state"
well, what of that?" growled his
honor
Simply this. your honor Now tha
| have presented the proofs of my ad
mission to the bar, / would now move
the court that | be permitted to drinl
from the official pitcher"
The young attorney got his water.

tions and vehemently proclaiming that
an investigation should be made of the
relations between the coal companies
of the soft coal fields and the railroads.
The operators retorted there was
nothing in it and that Mitchell was
simply pandering to public prejudice
against the railroads.
Mitchell jockeyei for the position
of asking restoration" of wage scale
that was in force one year, the year
of 1908, trying to make the operators
appear in the position of refusing a
wage scale which previously had been
in force, Notwithstanding Che claimed)
the steel trade and railroads now were
prospering wonderfully
Average Wage of Diggers.
Reports of labor commissioners of
the various states give the average
number of days which coal miners in
each field work and give the average
daily wage at $2.42. Many of the min
ers earn, when they work, from 81
to $S and even $40 day, but there
has been an overproduction of soft
coal and an influx of coal from nom
union mines which has restricted the
operation of the mines in Illinois and
it's sister states. The miners then
earn through the year AN average of
$2.42 per day. The statistics of the
state of Indiana permit comparison
with the wages paid to the butcher,
the baker and the furniture maker;
the butchers being paid an average of
$2.19 per day, bakers s2.04 per day,
and the furniture makers $1.87 per
day. Quarrymen, whose work is sim
liar, but not underground, are paid an
average of $1.40 a day. The average
wages of engineers and fremen of sta
tionary plants is 50 per day, that OF
brick makers S1.S5 per day, and brew
ers are paid $2.35 per day.
There are occupations for which
higher wages are paid than coal min
ing, but they are not numerous.
The changes in the coal fields in the
conditions of the miners and their
families during the last ten years are
so striking that they furnish one OF
the best examples of the progress an6
prosperity whicn is becoming each
year more general throughout the
United States. The traditional habit:
of the miners have not altogether beer
changed, but there are many more
miners who now own their homes, anC
there is a smaller percentage of thu
men who generally spend their libera
wages at the saloons and in dissipa
tion. The typical home of the mine
is no longer a shanty, and the condi
: tions within no longer are those o
squalor. The miners child is now II

ing me great distress. These condi-
tions were undoubtedly due to the
starchy food l ate, white bread, pota-

worse with time, till, 2 years ago,

diagnosed as appendicitis. When the
surgeon operated on me, however, 1t

"Since that time I have had sew

was important to his ambition. Conse-
quently, after standing out at the first
joint conference and declaring the ad-
vance demanded was impossible, he
made a sudden change which obvious
ly will aid his political interests, a
change which has been interpreted by
the press and public as due to orders
from the steel trust" that the ad-
vance must pc granted the miners If
that be the price of peace.
This change on the part of Robbins
aroused bitterness of feeling among
the smaller operators of Illinois, In
diana and Ohio which never could be
assuaged. In joint conference Com
missioner Philip Penna, of the Indiana
Bituminous Coal Operators associa-
ton, challenged the miners to grant
the coal companies of those three
states the same conditions as those
which prevail under the miners agree
ment in the Pittsburg field, and de-
Clared that If they would do so the
operators not only Immediately would
grant the 12k per cent. advance in
wages, but would furnish the miners
their powder free.
This challenge was directly aimed
at the stand of Francis l.. Robbins
who was proclaimed traitor to the
cause Of the soft coal operators. Its
apparent fairness was bombshell in
the campaign of Robbins and the min.
ers as we'll. 1t brought no further re-
