''We do not remember our past lives"

Only the ego, the real man, is eternal,

MADE FOR
COAL INDUSTRY
HEAD OF MINING DEPARTMENT
PLACES TT BEFORE AoRl-
CULTURE.
EMPLOYEES NUMBER $4,000
Thinks About Half Of the States Pop
Ulation Is Dependent Upon Coal
Mining-Those Employed Make Bet.
ter Wages Than in Illinois.

Charleston.-While by no means all
the coal companies have reported to
the department of mines the data re-
quested OF them and to be used i'm
compiling the annual report OF that de.
partment the +, equent inquiries made
of the departmer' and the constant
handling of these matters gives the
officials some idea of the approximate
results without running up totals on
an adding machine. IL Is the opinion
or John Laing, head of the department.
that there is employed in and around
the coal mines in West Virginia not
less than $4,000 men and boys, and on
the basis that the average dependent
upon miner would be wife and two
children, the number of people depend
ent upon the coal mines in West Vir.
einia would be about 100000 If the
merchant, transfers. railroad and 9th
ers are TO be considered, il is the be-
lief Of Mr.. Laing that 100000 of the
citizens OF this state are dependent
upon the coal industry for support.
Half the Population.
Estimating the population of the
state at l,250,000, It will be seen that
in Mr.. LainRs opinion practically one.
half of the citizens of West Virginia
are dependent upon the coal industry.
This opinion is not in harmony with
the general impression held by those
who have been preaching the agricul-
tural interests OF the state. These
men have held that agriculture. of
course, was first and that the coal
and other Industries came afterwards
II Mr.. Laing's contention is correct
there can be no doubt as TO what in
dustry is the most beneficial TO the
citizens.
Comparison of Wages.
When 1t comes to wages earned by
the coal men, compared with other
states, West Virginia has a creditable
showing In answer to a query Mr..
Lalng's department recently compiled
comparative statement He uses q
siX-year period.
These figures show that the average
earnings OF the coal miner in West
Virginia are greater than that OF iii
nois-for six-year period.
Freedom From Accidents.
Mr.. Laing Justly points with pride to
the showing OF the mines within the
last few years. during which West Vir-
ginia has been almost devoid of mine
accidents, due, he thinks, largely to the
corporations of the coal operators
with the mine department officials.
But the information Mr. Laing gives
and which there is every reason to be-
lieVe is based upon statistics, clearly
shows that the agricultural pursuits
arc not the champions in making the
greatest number OF citizens dependent
upon agriculture.

OF the Sperry-IIutchinson Co against

case Under the state law such
concern is required to pay a yearly
tax OF $500 in each county in which

opinion. Suits have been pending IN
