The United Mine Workers have got
things down to pretty sensible basis,
judging from the Indianapolis Conven-
ton. According to the claims of the
operators there is an over production
of coal, and they refuse to restore the
wages of the miners to the point cut
two years ago. The miners have con-
cluded that they do not wish to contin-
ne to over produce at those wages, es-
pecially since the operators have been
getting 35 to so cents per ton more on
the coal since the per cent. cut, and
have decided to wait until the overplus
is consumed and the demand becomes
greater. Accordingly $50, 900 will
walk out April 1, and take vacation
hunting, fishing, etc. 1t shows good
boss sense, for few people have sense
enough to quit when they have had
enough. The miners decided they had
had enough of the 7 per cent reduct-
ion, and also had sense enough to see
they would never get a raise if they
kept on producing more coal than was
consumed.

Our honest criticism of the Flat
Branch mine affair is this. The men
were at fault in breaking their con-
tract, and the mine viii now be run
on the open shop plan. The company,
however does not seem entirely guilt
less, according to the charges made,
but the fact that men wantonly broke
their contract by going out Of the
mines and refusing to return to work,
until the matter could be settled, es-
pecially when asked to do so by |. H.
Cannon, a leader in the organization,
places the responsibility ON them, and
they are now paying the penalty. We
do not see how in Justice to the rules
of their organization or the contract
they worked under, they can declare
strike against the Flat Branch compan-
y, and should they do SO, would not
have outside sympathy. The News
defends the union because the men,
bers have sworn to stand by one an
other as brothers, and taken that OBJ
legation in most solemn manner, but
we regard a contract as equally invio-
late, and condemn their reckless break
ing If the men had remained in the
mines until test of their CLAIMS had
been made and the company had refus-
ed to make change when proven in err
ror, then they should have come out,
and none too quick either.
