One Against Ninety and Nine.

Roughly speaking one man out Of every 100
in this country makes his living mining coal
That one man has said in effect to the SO men:
Il want 3O-hour week and an increase in pay
OF 60 per cent. am going to quit work Nov
l. Winter is coming on and there is world
fuel shortage. You can either compel the
operators to meet my demands or you can
freeze Suit yourself"
The operators. 10 doubt, are willing to pay
tire Increase. provided they can collect the
advance from the consumer probably with
something added for themselves. At any rate,
they have not refused to negotiate further.
II may be that the miners are underpaid.
1t may be that the operators are making
greater profits than are justified. The scale
is not uniform and prices vary in different
localities. In some mines veins of coal are
many feet in thickness. In others they are
so thin that they are worked with great diff
Guilty. Some mines have good shipping facili-
ties and work practically all the year round.
Others are operated only part of the time.
Extravagant claims have been advanced both
in support of and in opposition to the demands
of the miners. Perhaps they are all true in
certain districts and perhaps they are not.
Only broad survey of the situation can es
tsblish the facts
Whatever conditions are there is no doubt
that the people as a whole want justice done.
They want the miner to be paid what he hon
estly earns, and enough to I've cleanly and
decently, to educate his family and put some
thing aside for his declining years. They want
the operator to make a reasonable profit and
they are willing to pay for coal whatever price
may be necessary to fairly reward those en-
gagged in the industry.
But the public insists first of all that there
be no stoppage Of the fuel supply either at
the mines or in transit. Need of the people
for fuel is greater than that Of the miners or
the operators for larger immediate returns.
The one man has no right to inhict the
misery. of freezing and starvation upon the 80
men to enforce demands the justice of which
he will not permit anyone but himself to pass
upon. This is all the more unthinkable be-
cause the one man in this case is himself de-
pendent upon the others for every bite he eats,
every shred Of clothing on his back and the
very tools with which he works.
Governor Lowden put the matter conciseIy
when he said: whenever any organization,
whether Of capital or labor, becomes SO pow
erful as to be able to give or to withhold from
the public the necessities Of life, sach an or
ganization must come under the control of
the government. Otherwise the part becomes

forming with other star teams in the
past. One thing sure. the local team,
to win, will be forced hard.
Tom Thorpe, the Columbian ref
cree, will off1ciate at tonight's game,
and his services will be rendered at
all contests IN the future. When the
whistle is in his hand, there will be no
room for argument, and the decisions
as given, will be obeyed. A large num-
Der of local fans, believe, when a To-
cal man holds the whistle, that the

but when Thorpe referees their minds
change. Pete Campbell however has
qualified as one OF the best loved men
ever to act as the eleventh man.
