CONSUMERS THE VICTIMS.

~ HE bituminous and anthracite miners organized
~ and so the mine operators and the coa-carryng
railroads. Between them they have succeeded in
putting up the price of coal dollar during the past
few years. One party to the coal business remains unor
ganized, and it is by far the most also-the
coal consuming public. Although they outnumber the
others united than ten to one they appear to have
say in the matter whatever Somehow, all the rest
continue to get what they want but the only thing the
consumers get the privilege of paying the everincresng
coal bills If there way to make their wishes
known they might, perhaps get square deal once in
long me but the newspapers and legislators so busy
with the quarres and disputes of the who mine, carry
and sell coal that they have time to waste on the help

What would be the result if the househoders could
be poled the strike question They would vote against
it to man. Long and dear experience has taught them
that these coal wars while always resulting advantageous

whose nvarable tendency is upward. Whatever loss OF
wages the strikers may incur the operators by the clos
