dustrial activities, the demand in munition and other works which re. fleet munitionist activities. being the greatest ever known.
 None the less, should the economic conditions which prevail aid the anthracite miners in obtaining their demands, 1t Is not to be lost sight of that the actual division of inter- est in separate classifi- cation of tho miners as such employed in bituminous and in anthracite fields, divides up the strength of the organization also and weakens it in the fight that it is compelled to maintain for better conditions.
 The deadly tendency to disunion 1 in such a division, Is not to be glossed over by favorable results during a favorable time. Those would have come in any event.
 There is not now and there never will be any room for any kind of dis union among the workers in any in- dustry Regardless of the nature or their mining, all mining interests are directly connected and the wei fare of one connected with the wei fare of the other We may go i further than this and declare with out hesitation that the interests or
 all workers in any and all industries
 are one and the same, and no mat
 ter what is said to deprecate 1t, the
 idea of one big union of all workers
 is the only idea representing a prac--
 tical method whereby the workers
 will attain industrial efficiency in
 enforcing all their demands.

So far no settlement of the de mands of the anthracite miners has been made. They arc still dsnied their increase, and battle of pn- siderable dimensions Is still prob able.
 The only weapon which tho an- thracite men have is the strike. Nnd the more extensive and cIl-ecom- passing the striko, the more efficl- ent the weapon. Tho strikc off the coal miners would necessarily re- suit in an industrial stagnat.on due to lack of fuel, but under present time conditions the coal that reaches
 a higher degree of industriaN i'm portance Is bituminous and not an- thracite. The best smith coal Is
 bituminous coal; coke highly esen- tial material in tho production of steel and in ore reduction comes from bituminous coal and the effect of a stoppage of bituminous mining would be much more serious from
 an industrial point of view than. than stoppage of anthracite.
 The consumption of anthracite is
 of necessity very great. Railroaos
 and ships and urban factories use large quantities of it by reason or it's efficiency from smokeless point of view. But it can find substt- ute in bituminous coal and city or ldinances and smoke nuisances will
 of necessity wait upon economic con ditions and remain suspended dur ling the absence of the anthracity
 supply on the markets.
 The interests of the coal miners
 therefore are greatly enhanced by 3 complete Identification of interests between the bituminous and an tthracite miners, and a settlement for
 one should mean a settlement for
 all. 1t @A as!'9ais | The idea that bituminous mining
 should be permitted while anthracite , miners are on strike, is uppermoS' In the minds of the bosses. And il
 Is not impossible that for that req : son settlement of one set of de mands may have been agreed upor to keep one set working while tho others are on strike, so that tht strike might lose its eft1ciencl
 against the industries of the em ploying chiefs.
 | However labor conditions in th' east are not unfavorable 10 granting of the demands of th' miners.
 The mines are only able to re cruit their working force from tn : constantly arriving immigrants iron ! Europe. The war has resulted il that supply falling off, and the ba :. lance of immigration is no longer i! | favor of the United States capital ists. ' If the anthracite miner quit, the, : are numerically so great that thu coal mine companies will have al
 unusual difficulty in supplying tnel = places. Added to this Is the fact the y coal mining may well be substitutes by striking workers for other in n I A. E

suit of this war will be to drive the little fellow in great numbers into the ranks of the propertiless work CTS. The big firm, the great corpo- ration, the much-propertied anu great landlords will be able to pull through, and they will moreover be hard set in the immediate future to slough off the financial burdens on to the backs of the little property holder who is scarce even under nor nal conditions able to pay his wy. Indirectly, too, as bondhold~ rs and lenders, they will be recouped by, the revival of industry after peace. and will pay taxes in many in stances to pay themselves.
 One of the reasons why an extra vagance of government Is tolerated is because those who are in econo- mic and financial control dig up our of one pocket to receive it back in the other.
 | An armor plate company making hundreds of millions out of govern ment contracts finds no burden in the addition of a war tax that amounts only to few thousands. The financial concern that floats government loan and makes millions in the transaction similarly can af- ford to pay ten, fifteen or twenty DOT cent income tax. They are sim ply paying themselves with interest.
 These are little oddities about High Finance which the workers who pay no taxes completely over , look, and these same oddities ex- plain why as a system it is all SC popular with High Finance.
 This war finance is essentially di- rected towards the great tendency of the capitalist system to make the poor business man poorer, and to make the rich financier or industrial chief richer all the time. It vii. literally bankrupt the smaller inde- pendent who has been struggling along as best he could, and will sweep him and those like him into the proletarian ranks where ta tes cease from troubling anl fiscal woi ries are at rest
 I It is just .his fact that makes the trxat;on problems so se:io,r. mat ter The smaller business E,an IS not quite sucn a chump as his criti g make him out to be. We may criti- clze his money grabbin5 tendencies, but there is stern intention to to make the best of iG fo. himself and the worst of it for the other fellow. He does not submit taIlely and he unerringly places the finger upon the cause of his troubles.
 We saw that in the United States when he and his started the Pro- gressiye party which had basically something far deeper than the Bull Moosery of King Theodore Nor is he likely to accept defeat from Wilson under an abandoned New Freedom Populism itself was the protest or the smaller man against industrial submergence, and even republican prosperity which gave new lease of life to whole lot of them could not obliterate the efforts of the small bourgeois to cave himself wit nessable in the progressive party and to quite large extent in It's control of the Socialist party of America where the stronger minds of the progressivists gre now finding a refuge.
 The inevitable economic steam rolling of the small business man by reason of war taxes will excite a revolutionary tendency in the belli' gerent countries and that is why these taxation questions are of some thing more to the workers than mera1v ncademic 0uCotiOnS

The grant of an increase to the bituminous miners may bo an ad- mission upon the part of the coal barons of the inevitable, or 1t may be a tactical stroke which has not wholly unbared itself.
 It may thus result in dividing the interest of the anthracite and the bituminous coal miners, and divid- ing and ruling is the favorite maxim of imperialists in industry as well as in the nation V Nt

truth of the story. as he heard it re-

incident.
Her majesty sat at dinner. with the
archbishop OF Canterbury. the gruf
and grumpy DR.. Temple, on one side
and on the other side DR.. Randall Da-

certain colonial bishop who was seated
next to the archbishop of Canterbury
and said, You know, Dr. SO-and-so, |
can well remember you preaching at
Balmoral twenty-five years ago"
The bishop of Winchester then said,
Really, your majesty, your memory is
