The Coal Miners at Profteering.

These are days when we hear a good
deal about profiteering-th profiteering
of manufacturers, of tradesmen, of land
lords-and there is plenty of foundation
for much that we hear But what about
labor profiteering7
The essence of profteering is that the
individual utilizes the needs and hard
ships of others to secure the maximum
of profit for himself He is Indifferent
to what the community suffers, so long
as he can gather in an excessive return
for whatever it is that he has to sell. The
term applies Just as truly to the rapacious
labor leader or organizer as to the rapa-
clous capitalist or landlord. Every time
that labor organization presses an I'M
reasonable demand, and forces up the
price OF some commodity by the threat of
general disturbance of business and in
dustry if its demand is not promptly con-
ceded, it is as guilty of protiteering as
the landlord who advances his rent charge
at short notice and evicts his tenants if
the increased charge is not accepted.
lake, for example, the present demands
of the United Mine Workers in the BIZ
luminous coal fields. They have been
admonished by Federal Fuel Admnistra -
tor Garfield, that they are held by the
wartime agreement, which is still in eff
feet, and will not expire until peace is
proclaimed, or until next April, if state
OF war exists until that time But they
profess to believe that the agreement ex-
plred with the armistice of last Noyem-
Der, and is no longer binding So they
push their demand for a 30-hour week
and 90 per cent advance in wages, and
insist that they must have everything
that they demand, or they will call out
the more than 300, eco miners employed
in western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois.
Obvi usly, this demand for greatly re-
duced production involved in a 30 hour
week, and the simultaneous demand for a
90 per cent wage increase means great
advance in the price of coal if the de-
mands are conceded; and it means wide
spread suffering if production ceases. It
means prohteering on a large and mercI-
/ less scae.--BoSton Herald

SOMEBODY WAS A STACKER

Investigation Of ordnance expenditures

fact that only 48l guns were delivered in

tracted for only 1902 were finished at
