Princely Earnings Of The
Coal Miners.

Commenting on the recent press re-
ports 10 the effect that employment
awaits $4,000 more men III the coal
mines of West Virginia. the Coal and
Coke Operator and Fuel Magazine
points out that these $4,000 Jobs
are from $50 TO $3.50 per month wage
places. the actual waGe-eurning cap8-
city depending upon the industry Of
the empoye. the fact Of the big de-
mand for labor existing and these top
notch wages prevalent being account
for by the Coal and Coke Operator to
the effect that demand for workmen
has always been several laps ahead of
the supply, while recent activity in
the coal markets has widened the gap
between the requirements OF the
operators and the available supply Of
miners"
The instance of Alex SchOtt'S earn
ings is referred TO. the negro who tes-
titled before the congressional inVeS-
tigating committee inquiTinG into the
strike dispute in the Kanawha coal
fields that his unaided earnings 500
to $50 u month that thrice lie had
earned $50 month alone by his own
hands.
In this connection the interesting
information is youchsafed Ey Parker
& Bridges, publicity agents for the
West Virginia Coal Mining Associa-
ton, that one Of the largest sixteen
coal companies in West Virginia is
owned by 10 Stockholders. Of whom
sixty are miners in the Pennsylvania
anthracite regions.
What the emotions of these coal
barons," who work in the mines for
less than $3.50 d day, are when they
contemplate the pay roll Of their own
property may, perhaps, be imagined
when it is known that twenty Of their
West Virginia miners earned 81 ,l43.-
60 which was an average Of $57,l9
in the last half Of September or an
average Of S4.49 per day for the time
they actually work ked. An Italian
miner named Philip Goloup earned
SS0.76 in thirteen days or an average
of 1921 a day. Another Italian earn
ed S77.60 in thirteen days; still an
other earned $7l.83 in the same num-
Of days. Hhe lowest man Of the
twenty was Stanley Dufne, an Italian.
who earned $40.7l or S3l3 day.
which was siXty-three cents q day
better than any Of the coal barons."
his bosses, could do.
While the views Of these coal ba-
rons' on the question Of wages are
not on record, the opinion Of at least
one Of their employees has been made
public. 1t seems that this man
sought out the president and proudly
announced that he vas going to the
anthracite regions. A week later,
upon unexpectedly encountering the
president, he shamefacedly asked per-
mission to reconsider his determina-
tion to 90 to Pennsylvania.
I've been thinking it over, boss"
said he, and it seems to me I'd be a
dad-binged fool to leave West Virginia.

Baldwin ''Thus" A Pillar In
The Church.

There goes our Baldwin Thug. He's
the only man in camp who never lick
ed anybody" said the manager of one
of the finest coal camps" in the
southern part Of the State. pointing to
an unobtrusive man who sauntered
past the office.
Baldwin Thug a term invented by
Union agitators, is the name by which
all peace officers in the coal regions,
regardless of their character or ante
cedents, are now known. Even rural
constable becomes a Baldwin Thug"
the instant he pins his resplendent
star upon his breast. More specifical-
ly, the Baldwin Thug" is former
employee of a famous detective agency
who has been retained as the sole
peace officer Of the coal camp with
commission as deputy sheriff because
of his skill and tact in discharging the
duties of policeman. Some idea Of
his ability may be gathered from the
fact that his services are considered
worth 500 a month. He stands far
above the metropolitan policeman in
intelligence and character. Those
who are familiar with the Texas Ran
gers and the Canadian Mounted Po-
lice say these former employees Of the
Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency COM
pare favorahIy with the members of
the other much vaunted organizations.
CONSERVATOR or PEACE
Frequently the Baldwin Thug" is
pillar OF the church and a teacher in
the Sunday School. Nearly always
he is the village confidant who
smoothes out the petty squabbles OF
women and children and advises the
men in their perplexitieS. Often he
can be seen sitting on stump listen
ing to a dispute between nelghbor
women over chickens, ducks and sim
liar weighty affairs and rendering de-
cisiOnS therein that would put Solo
mon TO shame. The Baldwin Thug"
is also the sanitary Inspector Of the
camp. In his constant rounds he
spies out the things that if neglected
might endanger the public health. He
calls the attention Of the households
or the company to the matters and
sees that it receives prompt attention.
AS renting agent he assigns new ar
rivals to their quarters and gets rid
of them quietly but quickly should
they prove to be undesirable charac-
ters.
On Saturday evening he is extra
salesman at the company store. If
any one gets hurt at the mine he is
right there TO lend hand. Whenever
anything out Of the ordinary happens
the Baldwin Thug" is always there TO
see that the proper thing is done to
meet the emergency.
If there is disturbance in camp
the Baldwin Thug" quells it in such
short order that it is over almost as
soon as it is begun His quiet Now,
boys, you are violating the law" is all
that is required, for the miners know
that he means business.
Everybody in camp knows the
Baldwin Thug" and judging from wide
observation. everybody likes him.

CURTAIL OPERATION
In THE IRON REGION

Various curtailments OF industrial oper-
atoms have taken place in the Lake SUI
perlor iron region Within recent weeks. as
has been noted from time to time. Some
OF these have been due To the action Of
the mining companies in putting their
properties on q winter basis and are. as
a rule, customary at the close Of naviga
ton. But other curtallments have unde-
niably been due to the less favora BILE con-
ditions noted in the Iron and steel trade
and there is apprehension that further
measures of the kind will be recorded
II Is certain that much less orc will be
mined during the winter than was indl-
Gated few months ago. The most recent
curtaiment OF operations has been noted
In the Iron river district oi the Menoml-
nee range, In that region, Pcka nds.
Mather & Co. have laid off large num-
ber of miners. The Baltic and Bengal
mines have been closed, excepting that
Mt the latter property a small crew is re-
tained TO sink a new shaft: and the Fo

The married men from these properties
have been transferred to the Caspian

OF the single men at the Caspian have
