ON THE FACE OF IT the settlement of the Kama
what county coal mine strike does look advantageous
to the miners That such settlement has, however been
agreed to by the representatives is made plain the ee
gram from Thomas Cairns president of District H. which
appears in another column and which u.s. Of course au
thOrtative. i
The miners doubtless know their own business best
and they may have expect gains that do not ap
pear in the printed proposition Of Gov Hatfield but un
less this really the case is to be feared that their vic
tory is barren.
It may be, too that while the concessions made by
the operators are already principally provided for by tn
laws of the state the miners believe that henceforth Gov
Hatfield will that the mine workers will be per
mtted to enjoy them; privilege which they have no,
heretofore had that they feel that they hold in thei
hands weapon which be used at any time these pro
misses are brokennamey, another strike If this is the
case they will Unfortunately find that complete strike
cannot be easily effected, since dissatisfaction and mis-
trust will have developed in the ranks Of the workers
themselves.
The Majority believes, though that the Kanawhs
miners have the right to make their mistakes Ano
the United Mine Workers international officials taking
that same view, and leaving the West Virginia organiza
ton Tree to accept reject the governors proposition
nailed at least lie of the states coal barons namely
that the West Virginia miners being forced on strike
by the United Mine Workers for the benefit of rival opera

Only thing is certain: That this thing is not set

declarations that it is and matter by what vote the
miners may have voted The strike was
not the result Of the agitation Of Mother Jones and

THE NATIONS PRESS seems to be considerably
bet up the matter Of salaries to ambassadors It
seems that the salary Of the American Ambassador to
Great Britain only about $48 per day. The newspapers
to the advanced cost Of wenerwurst No paper has as
yet pointed out that Whtelaw Reid had to wear short
at British court functions because his salary
too meagre to reach entirely to his heels but TIE evidence
seems to lean that way since he them Besides it
well recognized fact that the right or wrong of an
American diplomatic matter that would come before the
British ministry parliament would depend entirely up
on the amount Of salary paid the American Ambassador
But we rise to remark that this salary of 48 day is
pad by nation whose worthy workers average less than
$48 per month.

Paris, Nov. 6.---Thle coat is one of
the latest things in Paris. 1t is
made of chinChilla with a fox collar.
1t is a dream every woman will ap-
prociate. And 1t would make a
splendid Christmas present for any
readers wife. The suggestion is
made thus early because the cost of
the coat is pretty high, and it may
take the average man several weeks
to save enough to buy 1t.
1t will be noticed that inc coat is
cut on the approved fashion lines,
that is, the lines of this year. Per-
haps by next year the men milliners
whose DEGREES make fashions, wi
have found another way for the hus-
bands to expend their money. The
