SHALL COAL COST CONSUMERS
90 CENTS A TON MORE?

II the official statement which the
anthracite operators make to the
public about wage and other demands
OF the miners means exactly what it
seems to mean, either the miners
will not get what they want or the
public will pay sixty cents ton
more for coal.
On the annual production of an
thracite-about eighty million tons
only go per cent is available for do
mestic use. The other 40 per cent,
which is a very fine product running
from minute sizes almost to powder,
can be sold as a by-product for
steam uses. 1t can't be sold at a
profit. 1t cannot be sold even for
what it costs to mine it. But it has
to be mined as an inseparable part
Of the whole product.
The labor cost alone of a ton of
anthracite coal, whether sold at a
profit for domestic uses or at a loss,
is $1.S0 ton.
A wage advance of 20 per cent
would mean an increase of thirty
six cents a ton in the labor cost
alone of getting out every single ton.
But as 40 per cent of every ton can't
be sold in any instance to pay the
present labor cost of it, couldn't be
sold in some instances to pay even
the wage increase demanded, the ad-
ditional wage would have to be paid,
unless it could come out of mine
profits, by the other 60 per cent of
the ton of coal that can be sold for
domestic uses.
So, as the operators state, a 20
per cent wage increase would mean
that sixty cents a ton more would
have to be accounted for on every
ton Of coal now produced for domes-
tic consumption.
There may be, undoubtedly is,
ground for argument between the
contention of the operators and the
contention of the miners as to how
much better off the miners are now,
under their present wage scale and
working conditions, than they were
when the series of wage increases
began some fourteen years ago.
The operators say that the miner
who now works with the same
energy as he formerly worked will
earn 36 per cent more money than
he earned then, while the helper of
the miner and other day labor in and
around the anthracite mines will
earn 3712 per cent more.
The miners justify their demands
for an increased wage with their
declaration that their normal earn
ings have not increased more than
5h per cent in twelve years, while
their food cost has increased 40 per
cent.
And there may be, undoubtedly is,
ground for argument over the ques-
tion of how much of miners wage
goes into food, and how much into
other things, and as to how the cost
Of those other things compares with
the higher cost of food.
But there can be no possible
found for debate on the question

ALKAM IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, II you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use
is just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (Which is pure and
greaseless) and is better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub It in. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and II leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
for months.
