he always looks at US ike he wanted

AN INJUSTICE CORRECTED

This paper has unintentially done
the coal miners an injustice and it
hastens to correct it.
1t has been resting under the be-
lief that when they demanded six
hours per day and five days per week
it was a maximum demand and
that finally the work hours and work
days would get to the vanishing
point.
But it turns out that that was a
minimum demand
They demaHded at least work for
six hours day and for five days a
week.
1t seems that the coal miners
would be glad to work six days q
week and ten hours a day, but some
times they are given work only FOR
one or two days and are then laid
off for the balance of the week.
Their claim is that they cannot
support their families on less than
six hours work per: day and five days
week.
A Washington correspondent
writes as follows:
The coal miners have without
question good grounds for complaint
against their employers, since the
conditions in the coal regions do not
properly take into account the rights
OF the workmen. The popular int
preston that the miners are striking
for a shorter day is wrong; since
their contention is to provide steadier
employment instead of sudden shut
downs, which the operators order
whenever the demand for coal slack
ems. This is one of the burdens that
the miners do not believe they should
be called upon to bear. Despite all
sorts of denials it has come generally
to be believed that the operators
manipulate coal prices by juggling
the supply, and this belief is borne
out by voluminous figures and tables
introduced into the Congressional
Record by Senator Owen. The coal
miners and the public are always the
sufferers: and the miners want an
end put to the practice Of keeping
them in needless idleness for long
periods at a time. The government
recognizes that it has a solemn duty
to perform in the coal regions, and if
conditions are as they appear at this
writing it is probable that even in tbs
coal mines there will be beneficial
effects from an era of "house-clean-
ing" The coal mining crisis appears
to be clearing the atmosphere for
better understandings between en-
2loyers and emplOyes-and il the Ia
Dor leaders have thoroughly learned
their lesson real progress in lettering
the industrial situation may be ex-
spected.
