Labor Growing Scarce

The temptation to quit the mines is
the greater because of the widespread
demand for skilled and unskilled labor
in the coal regions. Men with journey
man experience in almost any trade
find ready employment. Even unskilled
laborers cannot be obtained in quantities
needed for necessary construction work.

levels. And the wages paid are not
particularly high, even with the war
time increases.
The aristocrat of the mining industry
is the coal mincr-the man who cuts the
coal. One naturally thinks of every
man who works in mine as "miner.'
That notion is wide of the truth. 1t is
much like front line soldier, the fight
ing man. and the four or five others
behind the lines who back him up. The
coal cutter is eisher contract miner"
or a company miner" The contract
miner has the better and the higher
paid job.
