Much has been heard about enormous
wages earned by coal miners, and much
of what has been heard on this sub
Ject is wholly without foundation The
fact is, the coal miners of this country
arc among the poorest paid of any in
dustry, when we take into consideration
their average earnings. There Isl no
other far basis upon which to reckon
a mans earnings than his average ran-
nual income. While he may earn excep-
tional wages for one brief period Of
time, this cannot be accepted as a stand
ard, for there are other times when
his earnings are much less, and some-
times he earns nothing at, all. The
miners family must live throughout
the year. 1t cannot subsist part of
che time only. Therefore, the average
annual earnings of the miner afford the
only basis for determining whether he
is we'll paid or poorly paid.
The Central Field
The largest soft coal producing field
in the world is found in what is known
to the trade as the Central Competitive
Field of the United States. This is
composed of Western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. In this field
alone the average annual output of
soft coal is approximately 100000, 900
tons.
Statistics and figures gathered and
compiled by official sources, including
the government and the states, show
that IN the central competitive field the
for the six years from 1913 to 1918, in
elusive, was $879.S5. BY states the av-
erage wage of mine workers for each
of the years mentioned was as follows

1918 a Big Year
1t will be noted that the above figures
included the year 1918, in which the out
put Of coal was the largest in the his
tory of the coal industry. The total out
put of soft coal for 1918 was $780,
$4,000 tons. The Great War was in
progress at that time, and the demand
for coal with which to win that war was
greater than ever before, but the miners
met every demand. Not only did they dc
that, but they piled up a surplus Of
80,000,000 tons above what was required
by the industries which manufactured
war material and supplies. Naturally
in order to do this, the miners worked 1
greater number Of days than ever
|. before, and this fact accounts fol
the large increase in their average
annual income for that year. But
even by taking this unusual yea'
, into account, the average earning;

official sources, must be taken as beini
correct, and they cannot be disputed sue

The Case of the Coal Miners
Statement Of Their Side Of the Wage Controversy and
Declaration Of Their Anercanisn
BY Ellis Seares Editor The United Mine W orkcrs Journal

cessfully. They should be a complete
answer to the statement that miners
earn enormous wages. 1t is true that
some miners earned more than SS73.85
a year, but it is also true that many
thousands of them earned much less
than that
The public has been led by propa-
ganda also to believe that the coal min
crs have enjoyed excessive increases in
their wages in the last few years, and
that their demand for an increase at
this time is therefore unjustitied. 1t is
true that the wages of mine workers
have been increased, but it is also true
that this increase has not kept pace
with the increase in the cost of living.
In the 1916 contract with the operators
the miners were given Ga cents a ton
for picked mining, SO cents for machine
mining, and 1898 day for day labor.
The average selling price of coal at
the mines was SIPS ton. By mutual
agreement wages were increased in Au-
gust, 1917. On October 6, 1917, the So
called washington Agreement was eff
fected. Including the voluntary increase
in August, this agreement brought the
64-cent rate up to "a cents, the 52-cent
rate up to Y cents, and the $29S rate
up to S..

too long for a man to work under
ground and under these conditions. if
he expects to retain his strength and
his efficiency as workman. We contend
that the man who works six hours un-
derground to-day will be better able to
work tomorrow than will the man
who works eight or ten or twelve hours
underground to-day.
For long time past the charge has
been frequently made that the United
Mine Workers Of America are under
the control of the extreme radical ele.
ment, and that they border closely upon
Bolshevism and anarchy. Nothing
could be further from the truth than
this un-American allegation Through
out all the years Of it's history the
miners union has been conservative, and
has been so regarded by labor every
where. Bolshevism and extreme radical
ism have received no encoura cement
from the miners union. On the other
hand, these Red" doctrines have been
the subject of frequent and continuous
denunciation and opposition by the
union. In fact, there is clause in the
constitution Of the United Mine Work
ers of America which makes it impossi-
Bile for man to be a member of the
union and at the same time hold men,
bershp in the l. W. W., the One Big
Union, or any other so. called labor or
nj hoS
American Federation of Labor.
) Per Cent Radical
1t is true there are men in the
United Mine Workers of America who
hold extreme radical views and beliefs.
but they are very small minority of
the total membership. 1t is entirely
safe to estimate that this class does not
represent more than per cent of the
membership. There are at this time
more than 100000 members of the
United Mine Workers of America.
1t is only necessary to point out one
instance of recent date to show the
attitude of the union toward this ex-
IRENE radicalism. An outlaw organiza-
ton, known as the One Big Union, OBJ
tanned foothold in parts of our North
west and across the line in Western
Canada. Coal miners of Alberta and
British Columbia were members Of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
they formed a district known as Dis
trict Is of the union. 1t. was discov-
cred several months ago that the dis
trict officials of District 18 of the United
Mine Workers of America were mem
bers also of the One Big Union, and that
many of the rank and file of the men,
bers also had joined that outlaw organi-
cation. The union made thorough in
vestigstion, and when it had conclusive
proof of this situation the international
officers summarily revoked the charter
of District 1s and threw It out of the
lnon. BY this act the international
officials took away from the miners OF
Alberta and Western Canada their mem.
bership in the union. 1t was bold
stroke, but it was strictly in accordance
With the provisions of the constitution
The officials held that these men could
net retain their membership in the
union and in the One Big Union at the
same time.

The Average Increase

The picked miners represent 33 per
cent of all men engaged in mine work.
Their wage increase was 20 per cent.
Machine miners comprise 40 per cent of
the total force, and their wage was
increased 80 per cent Day labor con-
stitutes q per cent Of the total num-
Der Of men, and their wage raise was
68 per cent. Forty-four per cent was
the average increase.
Upon the widespread unemployment
shown by the figures given above, the
miners base their claim for a shorter
workday, in order that the possible
amount OF working time may be divided
evenly throughout all districts and
mines throughout the year. But there
is another reason why the length of
the workday should be reduced Coal
miners work far underground. They
must encounter and endure contact with
poisonous gases and other conditions
that are detrimental to their health and
safety. They must live and work under
artificial ventilation, which in many in
stances is practically no ventilation al
all. They are in constant danger OF
falling coal and rock and of being
crushed to death. Fires and explosions
constantly take their toll of human life
in the coal mines, as is shown by Tho
records of coal mine fatalities compiled
and published by the United States Blu
reau Of Mines. They are shut off from
sunshine and fresh air. Under these
conditions men cannot work continuous
ly as many hours as can those whc ar,
employed above ground. These condi
tons sap their vitality and theil
strength and make them less fit for con
tinuous service. Eight hours day il

the War Chest than he would have given

few as to be negligible. On the other
hand it gave a much needed respite to
the small band Of workers who had in
the past been burdened with the prob
lem of raising the budgets needed by
our institutions and Funds. AS it is, the
Jewish War Relief has been receiving
$12,5OO every month, while the Charities
has been given what it's regular budget
calls for. We mention these facts spe-
officially in the hope that if any who read
them have been careless" in meeting
their pledges to the War Chest, they
will make amends at once.

budget of charitable or relief institu-
ton gives a good index Of the heart of
the community. For long time to come
the relief activities Of city will be of
great Importance. But we hope the time
will soon come when all thinking men
and women will realize that only in so
far as constructive work is done along
educational or cultural lines, can COM
munity boast of it's achievements. In
this regard Minneapolis can truly be
proud for it's

Without being facetious, when one at
tends a large gathering such as the
American Jewish Congress or a Zionist
Convention, and sees that to vast num-
Der of Jewish workers and men of af-
fairs minneapolis" is synonymous with
"Talmud Torah," one almost feels that
the Civic and Commerce Association
should subvention the Talmud Torah for
so effectively advertising the city. It
is a pleasant emotion, we can assure
you, to have the merits of the institu-
ton so widely recognized, and one
wishes that more Of our own towns
people were as well acquainted with it's
good work and as appreciative in their
support. If we may offer suggestion

ton should be taken to extend the use
fulness of the institution by establish
ing branches or replicas Of the Talmud
Torah in other sections such as the
South-side and the West-side.
No less pleasing is the part Minneapo-
lis has come to play in
Zionist Activities.
During the last year the Zionists Of
Minneapolis have given good account
of themselves. There are almost 2,1OO
men and women registered in the Zionist
organization, and with the Collegiate,
Mizrachi and Poalei Zion members the
total must be we'll above $500. In pro-
portion to population, Minneapolis has
done much better than many larger
community, and this is reflected also in
the financial support Of the movement.
That is why, in the recent series Of
Zionist Conferences over the land, Min
neapolis was selected as the seat for the
Conference embracing Minnesota, Wis
consin and Iowa. That also accounts
for the fact that it has been our priv
lege to welcome SO many of the eminent
leaders Of Zionism as visitors in our
midst.
Side by side with this is the hearty
participation Of the community in the
larger Jewish activities, whether in be-
ing represented at the American Jewish
Congress, or taking part in protesting
against pogroms; or being represented
upon practically every important ma
tional Jewish activity by some Rabbi or
layman. Nor need the profession of the
present writer prevent mentioning that
during the last year every one Of the
local Rabbis has been called upon to
some extent to share in the larger Jew
ish life by out-of- town lecture, travel or
activity.
That the participation in national af-
fairs has not blinded us to things closer
home has been evident from the work
we have shared with our staid senior
Twin City, St. P aul. Tho the honor Of
entertaining the, B'nai Birth Conven-
ton was St. .Paul's, Minneapolis did
what it could to make the convention
as successful as possible. The co-opera-
ton in Jewish Welfare Board work was
even more notable; while the agreement
planning the erection of one "Jewish
Home for the Aged" that would be a
credit to both cities is highly gratifying.
These facts, together with the fact that
"intermarriage" between the two COM
munities is merrily proceeding, gives
hope for an ultimate fusion Of the two
cities, in the not too distant future.
This resume would not be complete
without mention of the two distinctly
new undertakings that have gained con-
siderable Roadway during the year.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH, WORLD
MINNEAPOLIS IN 500
A Resume, by Rabbi C. David Matt.


To look back in retrospect this year
is a far more grateful task than it
would have been year ago. True, many
a hearth and home has been saddened
by the grim toll exacted by war. Even
more numerous were the inroads made
in the ranks Of the home-folks by the
dread influenza. And yet, there is at
least sense Of security this year, Sc
curity not from disease or death, but at
least from the further ravages of war.
For whatever be the form of the cove
nant ultimately adopted, hostilities have
ceased; parents and relatives need no
longer wake fearfully in the morning,
and with trembling, agonized eagerness
turn to casualty lists with hope and
suspense Juggling at their vitals. So it
is possible to look back upon the years
record with some measure of peace Of
mind, analysing it's gains and its losses,
and determinedly facing the future with
new resolves for greater achievement.
Judged by whatever standard you will,
Minneapolis Jewry in the year 5679 has
lived consciously, earnestly, nobly and
sensibly. The year began while our ma
ton was still locked in arms in the
great conflict, and fully did our COM
munity do it's duty in the trying hours
of the war.
Patriotic Participation
to the fullest in every worthwhile en-
deavor can be credited to the Jews of
Minneapolis as of every other commun-
ity in our broad land. This is attested
by the generous response to all the war
funds; by the no less generous response
in men, as the proud list Of our war
riors contained in this issue Of the
american Jewish World" will show.
We need but mention the splendid record
of the three Red Cross units conducted
by our women, North, South and West;
the joint Thanksgiving Services; the
Fourth of July celebration, with it's ded-
ication of Flag-pole and Flag; the splen-
did work of the Jewish Welfare Board,
so splendid that the only friction no.
ticeable was due to the desire Of those
cleft OUT to be "let in" to share in it;
all these are indications that the Jew
in Minneapolis needed no urging to take
his proper place in support Of this land
of liberty.
Even more gratifying is the participa-
ton of the Jewish community in
The War Chest.
That there would be such cooperation
in the raising Of the seven War Agency
Funds goes without saying. But there
were many who looked askance upon
merging the Jewish War Relief and
the Associated Jewish Charities with the
city-wide campaign. And yet events
have proved that those. who favored
such joint action evinced not only patri-
otto communal spirit but practical bust
