WAGES OF MINERS

Figures complied from official gov
eminent records aill presented by
Fuel Administrator Garfield to the
joint conference of ebituminous min
ers and operators at Washington
show that the average annual wage
paid TO the mine workers through
I. out the United States is. approx
matcly 81 ,600---or about $500 more
rhan the average salary" Of min
listers and college professors.
The data furnished by the Fue'
administrator showed that in 1916
the total production of bituminous
coal was 379.3S5,S2O tons. Of the
cost Of production. about 80 per
cent Went for supplies and genera
expense. while substantially 20 pei
cent. or slightly more than 81 80
per ton was paid to labor In other
words. the total wages paid the
mine workers III 1918 amounted to
about sS7Oo00.0oo,
AS there are approximately $50,
900 nine workers, employed in the
hituminous fields Of this country.
The average annual wage paid them
was about $1,000 Many thousands
Of the miners received a great deal
more than this. however. as the av-
eragc wage figure is based on all
grades of workers. including the
soNs from l6S taslS Ssearss Of age
who. earned5about 50 80 per %day%as.
slate pickerS, couplers. greasers and.
trappers. Their comparatively low
earnings naturally reduce the av-

INDIGNANT EX-SOLD1ER

A CORRESPONDENT of Baltimore
paper vents himself as follows:
st seems to me that some OF our
sso-called citizens WHO, would guard
our morals should be reported along
with the undesirable un- American
agitators who are trying to foment
strikes, revolutions, etc, If we
tould find any place where they
would be accepted
"The attempt to enforce our an.
tioue blue laws and the prohibition
amendment are samples of the kind
of propaganda that gives the aver
age citizen the opinion that this is nc
longer a free country, and makes II
easy, for soap box orators to IN,
IIflame our population against the
Government.

FORMULAS FOR LIQUOR

+. Recently several persons have
been sent ION to the grand jury by
the , Police Court Of this city for
manufacturing and selling intoxl-
cants. It would BE- well for those
who have, so far, escaped the net OF
the police to read the law concern
ing the manufacture of liquor
Numerous concerns are advcrtls-
ing and selling formulas for max.
ing Intoxicating liquor in the home
and in some eases are advertising
and selling packages containing
recipes and the necessary lngredl-
ents, says statement from the
bureau Of internal revenue.
Prohibition enforcement Officers
have been directed to visit al per-
sons. firms and corporations en-
gagged in such business and adv'sf
them that they will be subject tc
prosecution if their formulas are
used in the manufacture of liquo,
by. the purchasers thereof.
The,acts' Of August 10. 1917. anr
November y, 1918. forbid the man.

malt and vinous liquors for htver
age purposes "until the conclusion
Of the present war, and thereafte,
until the terminaticn of demobiliza
ton" Persons manufacturing IL
their homes for private consumption
such liquors are subject to the pen,
allies of these acts and are liable
also to penalties and taxes impose:
by internal revenue laws.
Two or more persons who engage
in. the home manufacture of !ntoSi.
eating liquors. and who by conspi-
raey defrauded or, attempted to de-
fraud the government of the ta'
would each be subject to a fine OF
not more than $4,000. or imprison
ment for one year or both.
These penalties are fixed. by the
United States criminal code, which
provides also that "whoever dircctl!
commits any act constituting an of.

hA very many who talk the loud

American Indians Aided and
Proflted by the World War

The American Indian by enlisting in
the army and navy, by subscribing lib
orally to the Liberty loans, by increas-
ing the production of foodstuffs on In
dian lands and by contributions to re-
lief agencies greatly aided the United
States and the allies in winning the
war, declared Cato Sells, commissioner
of Indian affairs, in his annual report.
Mr.. Sells said that out of $1,000 eligi-
BILE for military duty, more than $500
Indians entered the army, 1000 en-
listed in the navy and 500 more in
other war work. More than 5000 of
the enlistments were voluntary. Lib
erty bonds were bought, Commissioner
Sells said, until Indians now hold the
equivalent of one $50 bonds for every
man, woman and child of their race in
the nation. Through it all, Commits
sioners Sells said, a new view of life
and his responsibilities is coming to
the Indian.

Chinese Children Sold as
Low as Twenty-Five Cents
Markets Found in Cities

China's appalling poverty is tradi-
tional. The average man and woman
goes through life with only an occa-
sional relief from the pangs of hun
ger, says Frederick Moore in Worlds
Work. Tens of thousands of people
die annually from starvation. Moth
ers in the poorer sections of every
town and village destroy female
babies because they are unable to
feed them. Sometimes the parents
sell them into slavery or dishonor. In
times of drought and famine a regu-
lar traffic is conducted in children
generally by boat SSong the canals
and rivers. The price goes at times
as low as Is cents for healthy child,
nothing being paid for sickly one.
Under ordinary conditions a strong
young girl will bring anywhere from
ten to hundred dollars or more. In
ordinary times a regular practice of
stealing children prevails in some re
gions They are conveyed, generally
In boats, to the large cities and sold
privately.
