COAL MINERS DISPUTE.

II looks as II a strike OF coal miners
involving IN the neighborhood OF half
million workingmen, is impending
There Is little prospect of an immedt-
ate agreement between the laborers
and the operators.
The dispute Is as to the wage scale
which the miners claim should he
raised; and also some other conditions
of the labor IN the mines, but the one
OF first importance ii perhaps that con-
corning the recognition Of the union.
That has been the crux Of many labor
disputes IN recent years, no matter
what the points Of difference otherwise
have been II is a pity that that ques-
ton has not long ago been settled by
legal enactments.
The general public may not feel COM
petent to Judge as to the merits OF the
| controversy between the two parties,
| but all know that a prolonged strike
would mean intense suffering among
| the workingmen who are but III pre-
| pared To support their families, with
| out steady work and wages All know
| from the past, that women and children
| will be subjected to unnecessary hard
ships and deprivations, and that the
bitterness engendcred may manifest IT.

creation Of such deplorabc conditions,
and there win be. therefore, strong

ranks Of this country OF restitution and
anarchy,
The general public is also interested
IN the supply OF coal. Modern indus
try cannot do without it. And not
only must II be supplied in sufficient
quantities, but at reasonable rates.
Neither miners nor mine operators
have the moral right to permit their
disputes 10 assume such proportions

can arise that will induce the people
60 tolerate such an outrage.
The history OF coal mining proves
that neither operators nor miners are
particularly sensitive to the rights of
the public They have acted as If they
alone were the parties Interested. But
they are not, and therefore have no
right to ignore the interests of the
third party. II Is time FOR the citi-
zens to assert their rights, and by suit
able laws compel arbitration, as a pre-
Ventive of strikes. AS 1t is now two

White Animals Can't Smell.

''Pure white animals" said pet stock dealer, "have no sense of smell. Hence they are continually eating things that disagree with them, and in eight cases out of ten poison them selves and die. Pure white pigs should never be allowed to run loose in the fields and woods. For, without the protection of a sense of smell, such pigs, when they get out, eat all sorts of poisonous roots and berries and die off rapidly. "In Africa the white rhi noceros poisons itself by eating the euphorba, and pure white sheep are difficult to rear because they are con tinually munching shrubs and grasses that don't agree with them"
