London, November 18th, 1910.-The
Welsh coal strike continues to be the
big Labor topic of the momen in the
United Kingdom. The rioting in the
strike area such as it was, has sub
sided, and lots Of people seem to be
failing over each other in their haste
to- suggest ways towards a settle
ment. Local magistrates, and even the
general in command of the imported
troops are lending their aid aid in a
very friendly fashion. The coal own
ers rushed out an offer Of an increase
of one-and-a.haH per cent in wages
but the men turned this down prompt
ly, not liking the conditions attached
Ito it. In the meantime, the strikers
are proposing to stop work over the
whole coal field, which would mean
quite 100000 men stopping work.
A few words here on Welsh coal
mining conditions might be interest
ing to American readers. In South
Wales the rocks arc very disturbed
by earth movements; hence the
problem of fixing and maintaining fair
piece rates of wages is peculiarly diff
icult. About half the men employed
/ in mine are at work in actually win
ming coal, being called hewers OF
GOLFERS; and the rest are employed in
haulage, maintenance, and supervision
or about the surface. The golfers are
nearly always paid by the piece, the
rest by the day. The present dispute
concerns the Golfers alone directly.
the other classes of workers having
struck in sympathy.
Each newer is assigned certain
length of the face of coal-his "stall, :
as it is called--which he was to work,
either with the help Of a boy, whom
he pays, or in partnership with an
other man, the two dividing the earn
ings. The newer fills his tram, chalks
his number on it, and at the surface
it is weighed and tipped over screen
into the railway truck. The small
coal falls through the~screen, is separ-
ately weighed and discharged into an
other truck. The weight of large coal
hewn is thus ascertaiped, the miner
not being paid for small coal in most
Of the coIlieries of South Wales.
The percentage of small coal de-
ponds partly upon the skill of the
workman, and partly upon the condi
ton of the coal, whether it is soft or
hard, or has been crushed by earth

sures it urges, if adopted in every
Ico,snty, city and village before 1915
win bring about NO uncared tor tubeT-
culosis in New York state il. 1915.
But they also provide for a committee
to take up with the State Charities Ala
association. plans for an effective,
working cooperation between the
army of tuberculosis crusaders, al
ready well trgal zed, and the powerful
forces of organized women:
The frs. resolution passed by tho
Federation declares the position CT the
Federation on the subject of tubercu-
Iosis in general and the State Charities
Aid Association program in particular,
while the second recommends to Wo-
mems clubs that they take up an &C
tive participation in the sale OF Red
Cross Christmas Seals. This sale, che
Federation feels, is golde: oppor-
tul;ity for womens clubs to show
their ability to make big public
movement a success. Every incentive
Tor local activity is furnished by the
fact that eighty-five per cent OF the
proceeds of the sale goes to local work.
Twelve and one half per cent OF the
proceeds goes to the American M
tional Red Cros while two and one
half per cert goes to the State Chart
ties Aid Association, sole agent for the
sale of the seals in New York state
outside of Greater New York.
The first resolution supports the
program of the White Plague Crusaa
er,s which calls for:
"A tuberculosis hospitai-sanata-
rum in every county in the state"
"A viitsing nurse ia every city AMI
village"
"A dispensary in every city and vii
lage of over 5000 population

all living cases of tuberculosis.
proper supervision, in hospitals,
sanatoria, or at home, of every living
case"
THE disinfection of every house in
which a patient mas lived, after that
patient has moved or died"
This resolution also declares the be-
lief of the State Federation in:
! .. the modern idea Of pilhanthrp-
py, that it is cheaper and therefore
wiser. to. prevent pauperism and Or
phanage than to spend large sums OF
public money in the care of paupers
and orphans and that it is more
humane to wipe out the causes of ha-
man misery than to neglect those
causes and then attempt to relieve 1t.
A committee of five will be appoint
ed by Miss Mary Garrett Hay, of New
York, the new president of the
Federation, to carry into effect the
declarations of the. Federation.
