MINERS
'FORSHQRTACE
NCOALS SUPPLY
Montana Officials Say the
Workers do Not do Work
They Are Paid For.

Helena. Mont. Oct. ia report
submitted to Governor Sam v. Stew
art by State Labor Commissioner w.
J. Swindlehurst and f. J.. O'Donnell,
inspector for the state health depart
ment, hints that the blame for Mon
tana's coal shortage may lie with
miners of the state, some Of whom,
it. is alleged, make from Sc to $12 a
day. in short hours. and cannot be
induced to work long enough to get
out the amount Of coal required to
meet the demand.
At Klein: 1.-The company asserts
there is a general unrest among the
miners; that the men quit work be-
fore the minimum number Of Jars are
loaded, which considerably decreases
the amount Of coal which the mine
should produce.
Because Of the liberal contract
which the men have obtained the OPP
orators say the men are able to make
IS to $12 in q day. for from four to
six hours work and that it is impos-
able to keep them in the mine al
though they are expected to work a
full eight-hour day under their
agreements. AS a result the mines
begin to hoist men before noon which
continues intermittently until quit
ting time. which interferes with the
hosting of coal and greatly reduces
production. &
"a large percentage of the miners
are controlled by methods which are
SOcialiStic and anarchistic."

THE SOLDIERS MAIL sHom HOME.

From MarShalltown volunteers in
complaints to friends and families that
they do not receive letters from friends.
AS these friends and relatives have
written them often since they left home
and as occasional pieces of mail get TO
them the natural inference is that
negligence exists in some important
quarter or these lads would get their
letters from home.
Whether it is the fault OF the postal
service or blamable to neglect at the
posts and camps where they are now
located, the matter needs prompt at
tention by the government. If ever
those boys need TO hear from home 1t
is now when they are enduring the
separation from friends and relatives
and the discomforts certain to attend
a. change so decided. Moreover, the
folks at home suffer in the knowledge
that they have sent mail and that
their sons and relatives in the service
imagine themselves neglected by those
who are on the contrary thinking Of
them every hour of the day.
Somewhere there is gross neglect or
incompetency or both. Those halt
homesick boys must have their letters:
If any deserve the best a public serv-
ice can give surely those boys who an
swered the call of country unquestion-
ingly and courag eously may claim it.
Why do the boys fail of a decent
mail service? Who's to blame?

OUR DEBT TO 4 SOLDIER.

Secretary McAdoo is comforting to-
day with insurance experts regarding
insurance upon the lives Of enlisted
men in the army and navy. The pur-
pose is to work out a plan for life in
surance in bulk which would be PAID
for jointly by the government and oy
the men. The special problem is the
effect life insurance would have upon
the pension system.
The TWO ought not to conflict. II
the soldier draws a pension he must
be alive to receive it and while awe
he has no claim to life insurance. Inc
government could we'll afford TO un-,
derwrite life insurance upon Its men at
war and sell it to them at cost free
from overhead expense and free from
pay the extra war hazard or increase
in premium for insurance on the lie
of a man in the war zone above the
ne. cost of carrying life risks under
normal conditions. With this much
help the men could carry their own
life insurance and in case of death
their dependent families would receive
aid for their loss Of a breadwinner.
But this has all to do with the man
who is dead and nothing to do with
the man who survives and hobbies
home, shattered in mind or body.
He is entitled to a pension to replace
his own loss of earning power. He
went TO war and risked his life that
others might prosper under free
government The benefits of the final
victory which he helped to win will
be enjoyed by many generations OF
men. They can afford to help him
thru life for they owe toll to the men
who gave them protection. The PEN
sion is the toll. The tax extracts it
from the many that just division
may be made with the few. II is
distribution Of the sacrifice of war
which lifts from the few and divides
among the many. The man who gets a
pension has not yet collected life in
surance, hence there need be no con-
fict between the two plans for or
ganized equity.

it was also very wise. For who wants

has a sprained ankle and can't do you
any harm?
Well. after everything was quiet and
the Policeman Dog had taken drink
of cider and cigar, the two little
rabbits sat down on the front porch,
for it was too late to go to bed, or
maybe it was too early, for the first
faint streaks Of daylight were spread
ing over the sky. and by the time
Uncle Lucky could unlace his shoes
and unite his red cravat and wind his
watch, it would be time to get dressed
again So he and Billy Bunny sat
down and waited for breakfast, and by
and by the Japanese cook came out
to sweep off the front porch, and when
he saw Mr.. Lucky Lesthindfoet and his
nephew. Billy Bunny, sitting there. he
ran back into the kitchen and dropped
two eggs on the floor and put the tea
into the coffee grinder and the salt into
the sugar bowl-he was so excited be-
