HOPKINSVILLE, KY, Nov. "a
Mines in the coal fields of Western
Kentucky are more fully supplied with
labor, are getting better car supply
and are producing more coal than
ever before in the history of this dis
trict The first of these conditions is
due to the fact that wages are now be-
ing paid that in normal times were un-
heard of; and which even at this time
loom large So greatly have miners
earnings grown, that men have been
drawn from other occupations all over
this section and from cities and towns
in other states.
The high wages, although bringing
more men to the mine had not exert
ed their full effect until recently when
the penalty clause which the Federal
Fuel Administration insisted be incor-
porated in miners contracts, became
effective. Previously men were able
to earn such large wages, that they
were satisfied to work only three days
each week and to remain idle the rest
of the time. Now the miner must
work not less than five days each
week or pay penalty for each day
that he fails to work.
An illustration Of what wages men
about the mines are now being paid

Big Earnings of Miners Attract
Men From All Occupations

is given by the following rates of pay
quoted in an advertisement recently
published in several newspapers in
this section. Among the offers were
the following:
Boys to drive mine mules, 81; track
layers, $4,25; track layers helpers,
1878; and piece work wage scales for
leaders and machine runners making
possible daily earnings of from 81 to
So day and even SO or 81 above that
amount. The minimum wage inside
the mine paid by the company publish
ing the advertisement is for day labor
at 1915.
1t is not uncommon to find mine
superintendent in this district working
on salary, under contract entered
into two or three years ago, who is
getting much less than miners whose
labor he directs.
The railroad car shortage, buga.
boo of the mine operator within recent
months, seems to have been relieved.
Reports are that mines generally are
getting sufficient cars to permit them
being worked to capacity.
Operators say, however, that even
with the improvement in the labor and
car supply they are unable to meet
the demands made upon them, an6
that with the increase in this demand
which will come with real winter
weather, the situation will be worse

ly, if not entirely, to Mr.. Schan-
fields tireless efforts that Minneapo-
lis was enabled to make it's generous
contribution to the $10,000,000 War
Sufferers Relief Fund. However,
that was not the first and only time
that he had thrown his energies, his
heart and soul, into a communal or
philanthropic enterprise. He had
done it many times before. But
this time his self-sacrifcing efforts
were crowned with signal success.
A community blessed with such a
worker has reason for congratulate
ing itself.

ers of social morality-our prophets.
They mean to develop culture in
which the good, the true and the
beautiful shall be so harmoniously
united as to give to the nation sta

If such a state shall be the final out

slider it a most important event Of
the year 1917.

Jew, was among those who went
and will not return. He is the first
great sacrifice offering Of St. Paul
upon the altar of democracy.
Men who are martyred for their
convictions; men who die to defend
their family from violence men who
quietly slip beneath the ocean wave
that women and children may be saved
all are heroes. But perhaps future
generations will say that the greatest
heroes of all ages were those who in
the Great World War fought and died
for democracy,
If freedom must be redeemed with
life, it is not uniting that the first
shall be Jew, not that it is needed
to prove the patriotism of the Jew.
What person can question it in good
faith? Not that the Jew is under
any deeper obligations to his country
than other Americans all settlers
here early or late. Not that life is
less precious to the Jew. Not that
the pangs of loss are less keen or
shorter lived to Jewish parents and
friends. No-none of these But
not yet has the Jew wholly divested
himself of the belief that his is a
kingdom of priests" "holy people"
AS such they should and must be
leaders and guides in the struggle for
human brotherhood, or put in modern
terms, human Freedom AS such they
must shrink from no sacrifice.
Not frowardly should any man
court death, but if it come in a great
cause at a great crisis he may justly
rejoice To make ones death count
for progress is an unusual privilege
To make ones death reflect honor
upon his community and his people
in a rare favor from the angel of
death. Such is the fate of Milton
Marks.
The Jews of St. Paul will grieve
at this loss. But if death had to come
they will be proud that they were the
first to make the great offering unto
a freer world.-G. L.
