Some may imagine that the union
spirit has been quelled among mine
workers in the south, but the fact is
that it has merely been strengthened.
Mistakes have been made in sthe past
that will be avoided in the future, and
one of them is this. The men will or
ganize themselves into unions, and
while not trying to make terms or
contracts with the operators, will
steadily refuse to work for low wages
or under adverse conditions In this
way the nonunion crowd will either
wake up to the benefits to be deri we'd
from organization, or will be starved
to death on low wages, or blown in
to eternity by working under condi'
tions that an intelligent union man
would not risk his life under. Non.
union sentiment is largely the result
of ignorance of conditions existing in
mining, and as fast as it laid mp tC
them good and hard they are not near,
ly so willing to work. Education &C,
complishes much.
