John Mitchell. the well known labor

Vie Bcrger's paper may print ON that

the copper country that 80 Ia make
the lot of the miners particularly
fortunate one. They are well housed
at low rentals. the companies have
made large investments in libraries
and hospitals and club buildings for
their hcncfit ana their material wants
have hccn well provided FOR. On the
subject of wages the public is tsill
looking In vain for any authentic in

Concensus of opinion that the mine
workers of the copper district are at

I'm some of the demands of the men
there is doubtless Il measure of Justice
and there appears 10 be a general be-
lief that irrespective of the outcome
of The struggle, the mining companies
viii make certain concessions To their
workers that will show that back OF
the strike were some real grievances.
But the conditions i'm the district and
the attitude OF the men and the COM
panies were of a nature To make the
situation one that should have yielded
To- compromises If the right forces had
been at work ON behalf of the men.
If John Mitchell, for instance, had
come forward as the representative of
the men i'm the first place the mining
companies would have put themselves
in an unenviable light before the pub
lie If they had refused to discuss the
matters at issue with him. They could
hardly have persisted in such an at

and in labor troubles it is a highly
serious thing Ia lose public sympathy

Public opinion today accepts the
right of men to organize and their
right to petition When this is the
only issue involved the employer must
giyc ground. But public opinion, by
the same token, is not inclined to toll
crate the irresponsible leadership Of
organizations with bad records behind
them. This is why in Michigan there
has been 50 much tolerance of the re-
fusdl Of the copper mine managers to
treat with the representatives of the
Western Federation of Miners.
