THE MINERS RESPONDING

THAT the anthracite miners are
responding to the appeal of
President Wilson to speed up
production is shown by the monthly
report of the Anthracite Bureau of
Information, gratifying increases of
production being noted over June of
this year and July of last year. The
record for last month was 7,0S4,7T5
gross tons, against 6.S67.669 tons in
June and 6,724.252 tons July of last
year. the increases being respectively
217,106 and 36O,52 tons, while the
shipments for July were the largest
in the history of the industry for
July, and have been exceeded only
twice. once in March this year and
in October of last year, when a
special effort was made TO get coal
to market before winter. The in
crease for the year to date is three
quarter million tons over 1917.
Nor is this increased production
mere striving for more pay on
the part of the mine workers, many
of whom the wage scale books show
receive less than the wages paid
for similar labor in other lines. The
picture of the miner as paid princely
wages, the scales show, is largely
fanciful. Railroad men are more
highly remunerated than the miners
as a whole and while here and there
an especially skilled or fortunate
miner may receive pay that puts him
in the income tax class. the majority
are 20 more than fairly prosperous.
In the long run he gets no more
than the dangerous character of his
work warrants and the public is not
so much interested in the size of
his wage as in the quantity he mines.
The nineworker. like other patriotic
Americans, is doing his bit because
he feels it his patriotic duty to do so.

German Rule

The German Rule began to be built
When the blood of Abel by Cain was
split,
And it extended its black domain
Under the Five Kings of the Plain.
The brutal Tartars and Genghis
Khan,
Who warred on heaven and beast
and man,
BY whom the life of nations was
split,
Were partners of the Kaiser's guilt.
BY sure descent and lineal claim,
BY true inheritance of shame.
BY pillage, rapine and torch-set fires,
The Hun shows true to the form OF
his sires.
