Ohio Miners Viictory---Its Lessons
BY SAMUEL GOMPERS

| ferred to a commission to determine
its legality, was reported favorably
and became operative May 20, 1914
The miners wage scale expired
March 81, 1914. They proposed that
pending new agreement, they con-
tinue at work on the old scale until
the mine run law should go into eff
efct.
The coal operators had determined
to resist the law and had closed
down the mines, with total disregard
for the law-with willful lawlessness.
They took the matter in their own
hands and determined to starve the
miners into relinquishing the benefits
of the mine run method of pay.
The mine operators rejected this
proposition. They secured an injunc
tion forbidding the enforcement of the
law pending judicial decision of its
constitutionality. The Supreme Court
of Ohio declared thel aw constitution
al.
But the miners of Eastern Ohio,
backed by the United Mine Workers
OF America. fought a splendid fight
Thes truggle began on the first of
April, 1914, and continued for almost
fourteen months. Thirteen thousand
men we're involved. These, together
with families numbering about six
thousand, were fed, clothed and taken
care of by the miners international
organization. That organization con-
tributed 81 100000 to make the strug-
gle for better conditions successful.
There was terrible suffering, hard
ships and losses involved in that
struggle. It left indelible scars upon
those who waged the battle for indus
trial rights-for it must never be for
gotten that the labor moveemnt is AMI
unending war for human freedom. Al
strike develops character. The min
ers fought on shoulder to shoulder
with magnificent unity of purpose.
They resisted all efforts of trouble
makers to sow dissension in the
ranks and only when the battle had /
been won did they serve notice on
all l. w. w. disruntionists to leave
their ranks
Without the Intervention of an out
side party, but by the irresistible
might of organization and organized
effort, the miners have secured anil
agreement providing for the two prin-
.ipal demands and others that are

The miners of Eastern Ohio have
won a great victory. For fifteen month
struggle had been in progress to
secure Al cents per ton for machine
mining, the rate agreed to by other
operators of Eastern Ohio, and the
mine run method of pay, or the weigh
ing of coal before screening, conse-
quently will pay for all coal mined.
The effort of the miners to obtain
the mine run method of pay extends
over many years. The first result OF
this effort was evidenced in the mine
run law of 1898 which was declared
unconstitutional. In 1912 Senator
William Green, Secretary-Tr of
the United Mine Workers of America
introduced in the Ohiol legislature an
anti-screen bill, but the bill was re-

sure protection. The puiltisiahs, e.
Golufibus Ohio, introduced and pass
ed the 6allagher bill Whihc amended
all 81 the protection out of the Green
anti-screen law.
But the miners found way to serve
the ends for which they were strug-
Cling. regardless of legislation.
Through their economic power they.
secured the agreement that signalized
their victory.
| Another interesting proof of the con
structive character of their struggle
is the flourishing gardens in the
backwards of the miners homes, in
the vacant lots and hillsides near by.
Early in the spring, when there seem
ed little prospect for an early settle
/ emit, quantities of seeds were sent
! lie miners who began preparations to
/ reduce provisions to enable them
i maintain their struggle. These gar
gems will help the miners to establis
normal conditions morer apidly and
. to provide the necessities OF exist
4 ence SO they can expend their wages
| in supplying accumulated needs. The
practical success of the experiment
suggests to the miners way to low
er living expenses as well as meth
cd to he used in other strikes.
The calm. self-possessed, resource
full persistence Of the miners of East
ern Ohio, supported by the United
Mine Workers of America, has Wo1
most gratifying victory and has es
4 tablished new standards. which will
open the way to vet better things.
/ It is most significant to consider the
| contrast between the strike of the
miners in Ohio and that in Colorado
mo strike breakers were brought in
to Ohio.
/ It is also significant to note that
warfare ended in Colorado after the
I federal troops were brought in and
that when the federal troops went in,
Immediately the order was given that
no strike breakers should be import
ed.
These facts are very important for
i the purposes of industrial statesman
ship.
j Men Of labor, stand together firmly
in voIIrs 1nva1fy and devotion to the
trade uniong movement; it is the pro-
lection today and the harbinger of the
better days to come for the toilers.
Organize, unite, federate for solidar-
ity. justice. fraternity and for human
ity.

CAN SHE MAKE A CHERRY PEP
Plant Few Cherry Trees and Try 1t

Plant a Few Cherry Trees and Try 1t
There is always the alternative OF
sending down TO the corner grocery shop
for quart of sour cherries, but in that
case the chances are that the rosy, juicy
pie will never fully attain to the SUI
preme delicacy it was intended to be.
| Thus the wiser plan is to grow cherries
on the home grounds, and in determining
upon the right number Of trees to plant
figure upon 1875 quarts for an average
sized family, and to produce this amount
some eight to ten trees will suffice.
Cherry trees differ in size and shape,
and sweet cherry trees are as large or
larger than apple trees, growing erect
and straight in branch and trunk, the
bark Is reddish brown and peels off in
strips around the trunk and limbs. Sour
cherry trees, on the other hand, are
much smaller, are apt to be low and
spreading irregular, and somewhat
crooked. For those who prefer dwarf
trees, they may be had in either of two
ways: by proper pruning of standards
or by negotiating with reliable nursery
Only budded or grated trees should be
used, and it will be best to use only
trees budded or grated from bearing
parents. Trees on native wild Mazzard
roots are harder than others, and for
the North are the only satisfactory kind
to plant. Where extreme hardness is
orchardists recommend the use
of Mazzard or Morello roots, crown |
grated, with six-inch scions, the young |
trees always being planted so that only |
the top bud of the scion of each is
above ground.
Location Important.
Sour cherries, as a rule, do well wher-
,ver apples thrive. Sweet cherries, on
he other hand, are apt to freeze north
# southern Vermont and seldom bear
urther south than North Carolina, ex-
ept where planted in high altitude.
n general, sour cherries prefer low or
at country, while sweet cherries do bet
er in high, rolling sections. All cherries
o well in almost any soil which is not

,am. In applying fertilizer, about the
bots of sweet cherries, avoid using nj
