MANY MINERS HAVE
THEIR OWN HOMES
And In Some Instances They Own
misunderstanding Thrifty
Men.

ln these days when the high cost
Of living makes the average trades
man or laborer hustle for living for
himself and family, and real luxuries
are not considered, it Is interesting
to note that in mining town in the
New River field of West Virginia
there are several coal miners who
own automobiles. and good ones, too,
and get as much pleasure out OF
them as the capitalist in his six
cylinder. The fact that they have
been able to buy them Is not surpris-
ing, for when conditions are normal
they can make more money digging
coal than many college graduates
earn in their offices, and who could
not dream OF the luxury Of an au-
tomobile.
And in this same town are q num-
ber of coal miners who own their
own hOmes-men who have worked
for good wages where living is
not excessively high. and are the
proud possessors OF comfortable
homes or their families.
And a visit to the bank In this
same town, where oil the residents
make their living directly or indi-
rectly from the mines, disclosed the
industrial depositors in the Savings
Department, one italian miner head
ing the list with $4,000 to his credit,
and many others with accounts run
ming into four figures. A number
Of these men could buy automobiles
if they wanted them. On the street
husky colored miner was asked
to tell the most he had ever made
in one month In the mines, and his
reply was, $327.82, out OF which he
paid his helper at the rate OF $3.50
q day. The truth OF this statement
was vouched for by the mine man
ager.
These facts give weight to the
claim that of all classes of workmen
the West Virginia coal miner has
the best opportunity to earn good
wages, and save If he wants to.

NEARLY A BILLION
IN PHONE CAPITAL
Figures for 1912 Give $ee1 ,o0o, 900 In.
vosted in Main Concerns Bur
Lesson Would Take Over.

Postmaster General BurlesOn's pro-
posal that the government take over
the ownership Of telegraph and tele-
phone companies and operate them

OF them, soon TO be published by Di-
rector William J. Harris, of the 5n-
reau OF thu census, department (f
commerce.
The figures relate to 1912 and, for
telephone concerns, are for compan-
les having yearly incomes OF $4,000
or more.
According to the report, the capi-
talization OF such telephone COM
panies increased from $75S 900 900 in
1907 to 1891 100000 in 1912. or by
more than 80 per cent. During the
same time the capitalization OF tele-
graph companies decreased from
1858 100000 to $232,0OO,OO0 or ap-
proximately 8 per cent. This de-
crease, however, was due entirely to
a reduction OF $23,s00,O0O0 in the cap
italization Of wireless telegraph COM
panies. Outside of these, an increase
in capitalization OF $4,000, 900, or
about l per cent, is shown.
The net income of the telephone
600 in 1907 to $51,3eO,OOO in 1912,
while the net income of the telc-
graph companies decrease from $9,.
$4,000 to $6,40O,0O0.
The number of employees reported
by the telephone companies increas-
ed from approximately 131 900 In 1907
to $4,000 in 1912, while the number
of telegraph employees rose from
$4,000 to $4,000.

against 1O,400,000,000 in 1907. Tele.
$4,000 in 1907 to 100, 1853 900 in 1912.
In 1912 there were 10000, 900 miles OF
telephine wires in use.
T The Bell telephone system in 1912
controlled nearly Is per cent of the
total wire mileage and over SO per
cent OF the total number Of tele-
phones. It also controlled nearly 81
per cent Of the public exchanges and
handled sc IL per cent OF the calls.
The wire mileage OF the Bell system
increased from 8,947,OO0 in 1907 to
10, $4,000 in 1912, or by more than 50
per cent. During the same time the
wire mileage Of all other systems
combined increased from 4,O52,OOO to
5,1l5,O00, or by little over 26 per
cent.

The development Of independent

by the fact that the total number OF

SURPRISE TESTS
Many Enginemen are ldentfyino
Themselves With Movement
Against Thorn

Many enginemen running on rail-
roads operating in this district are
identifying themselves with the move
ment having for it's object the elimina-
ton Of the so-called surprise" tests
to which 'many claim they are sub
jected, and which they say instead Of
making them efficient in safety, has
the opposite effect. The surprise tests
consists of making a sudden and un-
expected display Of danger signals by
representatives Of the operating de-
partment in order to determine wheth-
er enginemen are on the alert all the
time. The engineers and flremen as
sert that the nervous shocks exper.
fenced by them when 80 surprised is
detrimental to their health, declaring
that the tests are not needed for the
safety Of their own Ives prompts
then to be constantly on the lookout
for any danger which may suddenly

rate case in which an engineer and
fireman were suddenly confronted by
danger signals while running at high
speed. The engineer threw on the re-
verse brakes and he with the fireman
jumped, and as a result sustained q
fractured collar bone and other seri.
Gus injuries. He said that there are
many engineers who would do the

on them under the same conditions
and the shock which they receive is
even worse than bodily injuries, as 1t
Is sometimes weeks and months be-
fore they get over the effects and in
few cases 1t has been known to
ruin good engineers forever.
The railroads on their part claim
that the surprise tests are productive
Of much good, but the local engineer
