BY EMANUEL JULIUS

Why did these men throw away their
lives? Why did they permit them
selves to enter eternity? Was it the
desire to be heroes? To be brave?
To serve the flag? No! They merely
wanted to live. So they gave away
their lives-l2785 did that. TheJ
wanted to feed their children; they
wanted to keep them from starvation;
they wanted to obey that Great Law
the desire to preserve self, the de-
sire to preserve the species.
What a spectacle! Almost 5000 coal
miners are tori to shreds, suffocated,
crushed, maimed-in coal mines that
could be safe If only an effort were
made to operate SO that human life
would be conserved instead of sac
rificed.
But the mines are still unsafe. So
5000 more win die this year. This
lis mathematical proposition. This
it coal-blooded statement. Three
thousand men VIII die In the coal
mines this year!
And yet the mines could be made
absolutely safei The miners need not
die while performing their tasks.
Then Why were not the mines made
safe Let me put it ins one word
profit!
The mine owners want profits. They
ARE in business for nothing else. They
want dividends because they mus
have wines and palaces and antomo
lbiIes and yachts They must have
foperas and paintings and beautiful
women They must have the best t1al

plates the erection Of an immense

Well known flour milling companic.

to South Carolina to look over the
field and 1t is said that the mill will
be built within the next year. It Is
a known fact that at least one OF the
agents had been to Anderson and has

on. Anderson as being the logical
