MERELY COMMENT

The trust press and the coal trust
know what they want.
When anybody breaks in on the
game of the coal trust then the trust
press runs his pitcher and tells every
body "Soak him."
While they're soaking MiIt Booth,
why don't they soak the high guys
who fix the price of coal?
MYSTERIES: What does a teamster
coal wagon driver do with the So
day he earns?
Does he go to Palm Beach and
Laws Angles with the Uphams, Pea
bOdy's and insults and John J.
Mitchells?
And now Sam insult says fran
chises ought to be terminable and
Busby says not and WaIkOWiak
backs up Busby-and the straphang-
ers go on straphanging.
Easy for $40 day reporter and
a $50 day editor to knock a So
day coal teamster on strike against
$1,000 a day coal kings.
A little more money in the pay en-
velOpe for those coal teamsters is
going to help the grocers and land
lords
The only losers are the loan sharks
and the collection agencies.
Fifty cents a day more for the
teamsters- which they got-is more
than the Field store folks got for
New Years.
Thanks! o.
