miners have not disputed this con-
struction Of the contract.
1t thus appears that great branch
of organized labor is on the verge of
committing a great mistake. A con-
tract is an obligation which all honor
able men feel bound to observe in let
ter and in spirit, whether it be sup
ported by financial guarantee or
merely by pledge of honor. During
the past year the country has witness
ed a number of incidents of contract
reputation by labor unions which
have wakened their standing to a
great extent. The organized street
railway employees OF Pittsburgh, af-
ter pledging themselves to abide by
the decision of the war labor board in
wage dispute, refused to accept the
boards award and went out on anoth-
er strike. Tho longshoremen of New
York are accused of violating a con-
tract with their employers; and there
have been other instances.
A strike of the bituminous coal
miners of this country on November
l would not only be very disastrous
to the industries of the United States
and cause great loss and suffering,
but 1t would be a rank violation Of 4
solemn pledge entered into with the
employers under the approval and
sanction Of the government as repre-
scented by the fuel administration.
The miners new demands are radical
and extreme They not only call for
tremendous increase in pay, which
inevitably would fall upon the con-
Stunning public, but they involve re-
ductIon Of working hours which can
not fail to result in very serious
reduction in output.
These demands, however, need not
be taken under consideration at this
time. There is but one question now
involved and that is the sanctity OF
solemn agreement entered into by q
labor union representing 100000 BIZ
luminous coal miners out Of a total of
10000 employed in that branch of
the mining industry and the mine OPP
orators. That agreement specifically
calls for the continuance of the exist
ing scale until peace is declared or I'm
til March 81, 1920, IL the proclama-
ton is not issued by THAI time. 1t
cannot honorably be abrogated eth
er by the operators or by the miners.
Union labor to a man should rise up
and demand that 1t be kept to the let
ter, for If a wage contract is thus to
be treated as a mere scrap OF paper,
what becomes Of the insistent demand
OF labor for the right Of collective
bargaining? It is time to pause and
think.

All Hands On Deck!
Glory days of autumn are here!
From out the cooling sky,
The flashing sun beams brilliantly
Its purest rays DER field and forest
side,
Calling to come and mingle
Midst shumac and leaves Of browning
Hue.
Who needs the welcome reckoning
Has happiness enough.
The freedom of a world
At rest from summer laboring,
And well content with Golfers filled,
Is worthy cause to make one play.
So play you now with autumn tide!
Fling loose your robes and join the
Throng
OF browning leaves and shumac red;
Stay keen your ear for cutting sounds
OF feeding squirrel crotched high
Above,
And then the whlrr of startled birds,
And waters rowing in their troughs,
And live uabounded hours of youth.
