MINE WAGES.

4 IL POETS cannot be Shakespeare all artists Mich

leaders Charlie Michels Nevertheless, the manifest pre-
emnence of the great men of earlier day did not prevent
men Of less talent from producing plays Of great merit pc
lures Of much power and editorials Of great force, and the
fact that Charlie Mitchell by attending strictly to bus-
nes drew down $l7794 for twelve days loading mine
cars at the Bethlehem mine on Heens run ought to inspire
other men to 90 after some Of this good money Fourteen
dollars and eghtyhee cents per day not to be sncezed
at
Many men who have left the mines do not know thai
It is possible to make such wages and effort ought to
be made to get rock bottom facts about the earnings OF the
mine workers and spread them abroad where they will
likely come to the attention Of the men who left the mining
regions in the days when sum like that looked more like
the figures for weeks work than for eight hour day
In compiling these records care should be taken to avoid
those made by exceptional men like Mitchell, who prob
ably close to the record for the state the matter Of
hundredweight of coal loaded but for the average Even
that will be revelation to men who have not kept posted
about mining conditions
Another thing that should be done along the same
line is to spread the word generally that there many

man with good muscles and fair intelligence can hold

notions about the kind Of labor that employed in the
mining industry and many good man is kept away from

Army officers at Washington are quoted as saying
that they amazed at the collapse of the German de
fensve position just north of the OurcQ river but on
the whole il will be wise to await development before
drawing any conclusions that that development points
to serious German weakness. The Germans are re-
treating and they finding that it is different mat
ter to get back with foe thoroughly alert at their heels
than It was when the famous Hindenburg retreat to
victory was made but II is altogether likely that they
know just where they going and what they want to
do Moreover there is not the slightest indication in
the dispatches far received that there is demoraza-
ton in the German ranks, undue haste in their
movements They have been gOrously and conclusive
ly defeated in their thrust for Paris and General Foch
is hanging to them prepared to take instant advantage
Of any weakness which may develop, but it is to be
hoped that he will not fall into the of believing
that his foe has ceased to be formidable 1t was that
very thing which brought about both the German de-
feats at the Marine.

certainty of future developments is
reflective somewhat of the rather
aimless trend of security prices. 1t
may be said. however, that technical
foundation Of the market seems to
be a sound one, and security prices
will undoubtedly be doubly sensitive
to occurrences Of constructive inter-
pretation-Logan & Bryan.
The absence Of any definite infor-
nation as yet regarding the final
form of the contract which is to be
signed by the railroad executive and
the railroad administration, the
chances are the market will continue
in narrow and dragging position, as
the largest interests are really more
concerned over q satisfactory form
of contract over which there can be
no question Of the companies being
properly turned back from the gov
ernment's control than anything else
in the situation at present.
They are not in any way apprehen-
sive over the recent talk Of imminence
of a great German drive being di-
rected chiefly against our troops as
they are confident they will give a

New Bankers Association.

Representatives of state chartered
banking institutions will meet in St.
Louis tomorrow to organize ma
tional council of state bank associ-
ations. This is at the instance of the
National Association of Supervisors
of State Banks, an organisation COM
posed of state banking superintend-
ents.
1t is understood that about twenty
seven states will be represented at
the meeting. Some of the delegates
are said to disapprove the creation of
another national banking aissocia-
tion in view of the American Bank
ers' Association, which has a mem
bership of about 1880. the majority
of the members of which are state
banks and trust companies.
1t appears that the state banking
superintendents have for some time
been very anxious to have an organ
ization composed of institutions un-
der their jurisdiction in order that
they might use it in opposing fed
eral legislation which there was rea-
son to believe would work out to the
advantage of national banks and to
the detriment Of state banks. Fur
thermore, the banking superintendents
have found that. with the entrance of
many state banks into the federal re-
serve system, the prestige and i'm
portance of their official positions
were gradually diminishing and con-
sequently there was need for solidi-
flying the state banking departments
with the state-chartered banking in
stitutions.
As far as can be learned in advance
the projected national council Of the
State Bankers Association does not
intend to interfere with the work of
the American Bankers Association.
