be damned, We don't need the coil
anyway. Therefore We have to
take the opportunity when there is
time. Let the public be fair and
take our pay statements, or the
company's payroll and see what
our yearly earnings have been. One
man has worked every day except
ing one day and one hour and has
earned the average wage OF the
mine and not made $500 for the
year Of 1919 for himself. his wife
and four children. We are human,
friends, and we need food and
clothing to keep US in this world
as we'll a. you do. All we want is
q fair share OF this worlds profits
And this is not the worst. II there
is not something done soon, be
fore We will 60 back to the mines,
we will leave the mines by the
thousands, and then coal surely
will be scarce. Why did the people
not kick when the operators raised
the coal on them three times? Oh,
yes, all was well then. They have
been charging the public from $7.50
to $500 per ton for coal and moth
ing was said about 1t. Do you
really know what we actually gel
q ton for coal? Just 60 cents
without expenses. Quite q large
price. don't you think so? They
cried for more coal, more coai'
during the war and we, as true
Americans, gave them our very
hearts blood and strength, also
our union funds to help fight fol
liberty" Now they are trying tt
restrain Us from using our OWL
money. Did you ever hear tell Of
such injustice? How would you Of
any else like to have your bank &C
count stopped? They think they
will starve us out, but we arr
pretty we'll hardened to starvation
because it's struggle every day tt
keep body and soul together or
the wages We have to live on ani

be based. -.
The tenor Of the article infers
that the press has been exception

ed to learn Of 1t. I would then
consider the press indicated and

Mr.. MCGOWAN, while conserva-

The Argus: Having read in one Of
the tri-city papers Of Thursday,

respect to the editors and everyone
else who IL opposed to usl that you
do not understand the situation.
The paper stated that It stirs the
fighting spirit OF the people to be

but we are not threatening but are
actually in.the fight, II you call this
fighting, and We are going to win.

What do they take us for? This

to raise men and women to carry on
