CoUinsuilLe Editor and
Former Miner Advises
Alabama Men to Work

To the Editor of The Age-HeraId,
l notice from the papers that the
miners of the entire United states
contemplate gigantic strike he
ginning November 1, and ending,
God knows when or how.
am not now miner. nor am
I particularly interested in mining,
but from past experience I know
what strike means to the miner
and his helpless family when he
lays down his tools and walks out.
For IL years, from 1889 20 1900, I
worked in the mines. ] have been
everything from miner to n mine
superintendent. During the year of
1877 1 was secretnry-treasurer of
District 10. United Mine Workers
of America, while the late John
Mitchell was president, and w. II.
Wilson, now Secretary of Commerce
and Labor, was our secretary.
am absolutely the first man south
of the Ohio to become member of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, so I can speak with some de-
gree of knowledge of what con-
fronts the Alabama miners today.
As 1 see it, the central COMPETE
tive district, which includes Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois md western
Pennsylvania, now dictates to, or
run the United Mine Workers of
America. They will call this strike
and as the people. the great public,
is not in sympathy with the move,
they will lose Ii eventually. The
miners in the Ohio valley may get
some concessions and then the Ala
bama miners will be told, as they
have been told in the past, to make
the best settlement they can get.
We remember how these things
have been done in the past. The
southern miner has got the rotten
end of the deal and he will always
get it.
After all business has been para
lyzed, after the families Of the
miners have undergone untold suf-
ferfng and privatiOns, they will go
back to work at what they are now
getting, or maybe less.
The northern miners have, no
sympathy with the southern miners
and have never had any; they have

nothing In common with the south
ern miner and never will have, be-
cause the coal mined i'm Alabama
doesn't go into the same market,
or come into competition with coal
mined in the Ohio valley.
The thing ms j sec it, is for the
Alabama miners to make their own
settlement. make il themselves, be-
cause you remember what happened
few years ago-in 1907. wasn't it:
when Yankee union official
came to Birmingham and settled
with Governor Conner. That is the
kind of n settlement you will get
when this thing is over, if they pay
any attention to you at all, which L
doubt very much.
If today 1 was a coal miner in the
birmingham district l wouId vote
against and agitnte against
strike; because, first. strike will
win nothing; second, because the
public is against il: third. because
1 would have the interest of my
family more nt heart than that of
fhc Ohio valley coal miner.
No doubt but the Alabama miner
deserves more money than he is
now getting, with the high cost of
living, but to enter into general
strike at this time will get him
nothing. 1t will get him nothing
but misery. Ny atvice is to take
this matter up locally; leave 1t to
board of arbitration, as your OBJ
legation says you will do when yOu
join the union. Don't fly OF the
handle and try to demoralize ev-
crythinc just because some north
ern labor leader tells You TO do so.
What would John Mitchell tell
yOu to do were he nlive. The an
swer is easy. What is our old Sec
retary-trensurer telling you to do.
Better take his advice.
The people will be against you
from the very day you lay down
your tools. The merchant will not
advance you credit, you will be
thrown out of your house, you will
be scorned and get the cold shoulder
wherever you go.
Alabama miners, you had better
take 1T slow--know what you are
doing before you make the leap.

For the Good of
the Community

g ONE years ago the city of Seat
~ tie built wharves, docks and
other port facilities to take care OF
the expanding shipping business Of
that progressive city.
The profits derived from the
operations of these netted the city
over a quarter of a million dollars
the first nine months of the present
year.
The port commission has made the
following financial statement cover
ing the nine months up to October l:
'Seattles gigantic publicly owned port
business cleared a net profit, after depre-
citation and interest had been paid, to-
falling $239, 50697 during the first nine
months of the present year, according to
the auditors report filed with the port
commission. The month of September
the business returned net profit of S27,-
1880, the report stated.
"Although the total business transacted
during the first nine months Of the year
shows falling off when compared with
the same period during 1918, the net rev.
enue accruing is greater, the report
stated Due to the immense war ship
ments, 1918 was an abnormal year in the
volume of business handled. The in
creased profits are due to greater eff
cheney in operation and more modern
time and labor-saving devices
'"The gross earnings Of the port for the
nine months period were 81, 1887, 543.26,
while the expenditures, including interest
and depreciation were 81, isl ,297.76,
which, with an allowance of So, 161.47
made for the adjustment of old balances
and claims, leaves the sum of $239, 5O6.97
or better than quarter of a million dol
lars in profits. The report indicates that
the port commission business will return a
net profit of 100000 for the year 1912

British Labor LEGISLATION.

To provide adequate living wages
and to set limit of 4S hours as a
weeks work is declared to be the pur
pose of two important bills which are
being prepared for action in the Brit.
ish parliament.
These measures are understood to be
the result of an agreement between
representatives of employers, of trade
unions and of the minister of labor
acting as national industrial confer
ence.
The wage bill as drawn up provides
for an inquiry by commission to de-
eide what shall be the minimum wages
for adults and for young persons. the
commission to consider the cost of liv-
ing. 1t is also provided that the mini
mum wage shall be adequate to meet
the increased living cost.

that organization has risen from 1O1,-
9S6 before the outbreak of the world
war to 422, 100, after having fallen to
46,371 in 1915. The convention adopted

they had been guilty of crimes against

No plan for real conservation of Natural Gas
can be adopted that does not first contemplate
a complete readjustment of rates for domestic
consumers.
This statement does not admit of successful
refutation,. and the truth of it is self evident
when conditions confronting Natural Gas dis
tributing companies are fully understood.
Some very interesting and startling facts
were revealed few months ago during the
time the u. S. Fuel administration was issu-
ing orders regarding classification of gas Gus
tomers-giving preference to domestic users
and curtailing the supply to others-when one
of the prominent gas distributing companies
had an analysis made of it's customers bills by
months covering a period of one year. This
was done primarily for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning what effect the curtailment of gas sup
ply to certain classes of customers would have
on the company's revenue.

Textile Workers Wages Advance.

Textile wages in England are now
from 10 to 100 per cent above the
so-called standard, advances averaging
ITO per cent having been obtained dur
ing the period of war. The president
of the United Textile Factory Workers
Association of England is authority
fer these figures. Presumably they do
not include the 25 per cent advance
that has been offered to Lancashire
cotton workers, provided they accept a

ing a weekly dole, has been reduced by
about 100000 names since May last,
when the government drew it's purse
strings tighter From November to
May the weekly benefits were paid to
about 1,250000 persons. Payments are
now being made to about 100000
