Where the day is bright.
Come, will show thee where thou
must be,
In the caves Of night.
There in the darkness thy couch is

In the dungeons gloom
There must thou think of thy country's
And the tyrants' doom,
Let not the anger within thee rise
To thy lips to-day,
Subtly thy thoughts in thy speech dis.

And thy hands delay.

Played with the cross
Here be the signs of thy peoples death

In the days to come
In the long days when thy country's
pain
On thy lips is dumb.
Not like knight on stricken field
Shalt thou come to die;
Laid to rest on thy battered shield.
Where thy fathers lie.
Done to death by hireling spy
For a crime unknown;
From prison shade shalt thou rise "a
high
To our fathers throne.
No tall column shall mark thy rest
But the gallows tree;
So fares it ever with Poland's best
So shall fare with thee.
No sweet singer shall tell thy praise,
But tale oft told
Shall keep thy name till the coming days
Have their fame unroled.
Till sounds the call of our Poland's
drums
Meath the waking skies,
Till the night is past and the morning
i comes
And the sleepers rise.

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
1913 1914 1915. 1916. 1917 1918
Ohio 76832 4o5 90 52s "A 77llS s5s 90 364 l6

Illinois .7o4 IS e4e So GIL rs 7r5 90 99ssj $50 IS
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 570,-
3S6,000 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 ol
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;
. FOR the six-year period namee
we're only s875.s5, or less than SIS {
} month. These figures, obtained from
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

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 s298 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 ef
fected. Including the voluntary increase
in August, this agreement brought the
64-cent rate up to "a cents, the 52-cent
rate up to 72 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-
treme 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-
zation. 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.

New-York tribune., 1919-11-23
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 38 per cent Day labor con-
stitutes q per cent Of the total num-
ber 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
