Did Miners Shirk?

-# FIO1u llic NEW IOIh lIlcS. neg.
The president Of the miners union, Mr..
Lewis. says:
It is estimated that the demand for
the next yea will be about $50, 600, 900 tons,
or 1856. 900. 600 less than for 1918. There
IS no reason. why the miners should work
for more than six hours a day because
they can dig in a six hours day all the coal
that can possibly be used. there
eight hours?
Mr.. Lewis has a right to do his W
estimating. There is no quarrel with him
for that. But there are other estimates
taking a wider view of the coal trade than
his. The United States shipping board
formally states that the world is short
S1,0O0, 600 tons of coal, which cannot pc
procured anywhere except in the United
States. 1.-THE excess over pre-war exports
which must be supplied by this country
is 81, 1890 o tons within the next
few months, more than four times as
auch as it ever exported in an entire
year" Sixty thousand miners could not
dig that amount of coal in a year. The
suffering of Europe in the worst winter
1t ever faced means even less to the miners
than the troubles they would bring upon
their own countrymen by their method OF
hours produces as much as they ever pro-
duced in eight, they have not done their
duty by either their countrymen or the
operators who have paid their wages.
This doesn't square with Mr.. Gomper's
statement calling the nations attention to
the service of the miners during the war

EASY TO REPAIR WOODWORK
A Little Labor, With inexpensive Ma,
~teriaIs, Will Put 1t in Quite
P~resentabIe Shape.

No matter how badly in need of re-
pair woodwork and furniture may be,
YOU can put them in presentable shape
if YOU have care, perseverance aud a
few inexpensive helps at hand.
To begin with. get the wood ready
for some sort of finish. If ii is badly
battered up and the color of the stain

sandpaper and cut it in two-inch
squares. With this rub off the old
paint or varnish. Coarse paper n,.y
be needed to begin with, but finish
scraping with fine-grade paper sind
rub the wood smooth. This work is
tedious, so do it only a short SINE
at a stretch.
After all the old paint or varnish is
removed dust the wood and then wipe
1t with an oily cloth. Then make little
pads Of c0tton-t,e n SiN-inch square

OLD PAco CEMETERY TO GO
Famous Burial Place in Manila, More
Than Century Old, Is Threat
ened With Demolition.

Manila faces the demolition of the
old Pace cemetery. Which has always
been very interesting to visitors. The
cemetery was built in 1910, in the form
of two circular walls, an outer and an
inner wall of great thickness. In
these walls are burial inches sealed
with marble stones bearing the usual
inscriptions. and before each niche is q
marble shelf on which lighted candles
and flowers are often placed. In the
center of the circle is 4 modest chapel.
At the extreme real Of the Enclosure
is what remains of the "bone pit" a
most necessary institution, for the
inches are rented for a period of five
years only, and If friends and relatives
of the deceased failed to pay the rental
for another five years the bones We're
unceremoniousiy removed from their
niche and dumped into this pit. The
"epitaph" before this common resting
place of the remains of the forgotten
is a tablet ornamented in relief by a
pile Of skulls and crossbones.

Trade Unionism in RUSSIA.

The present rulers of Russia nave recog-
nized that trade unions, as we understand
them, are incompatible with socialism.
Trade unions" writes the English
photographer Mr.. Keeling in his graphic
description of bolshevist Russia, were
formed soon after the March revoluticn;"
but after the accession of the bolshevists
to power,
IF a trade union did not please the high
er soviet it was fined and suppressed and
a new union formed in its place by the
ooishevists themselves. Entry to this new
union was only open to members of the
new. union who signed a form declaring
themselves entirely in agreement with and
prepared completely to support in every
detail the policy of the soviet government.
With regard to our own union, the
printers. our books were declared invalid
about the end of October, and red cards
were issued to all those who signed a new
form declaring themselves bolshevists.
WITHOUT one of these red cards no one was
considered a member of the union. y
did they sign the forms?' The answer is
simple; Unless the forms were signed the
individual who refused would lose his ra-
ton card. and if a number stood out the
factory was closed"
Mr.. Keeling adds:
81, suppose l can claim to knox some
thing of trade unions; i can most en-
phatically state that no trade union which
would be looked at in England exists in
soviet Russia other than the union of
railwaymen; all the others are creatures
of the bolshevists, and dare not call their
souls their own except at the price of be-
ing starved to death"
That socialism as interpreted by Lenine
is simply P-russianism under smother form
was shown by a writer to the London
Economist on october 4:
"All over soviet Russia, the system Of
state capitalism i. e., forced production
by the old capitalistic methods in the in
fpraSf Of fha state finanap. rjS me 4 o
RAPID way. The advanced. communists
complain of despotism by factory man
ayers, fines. unreasonably long hours,
certain abuses and injust.ees alleged to
arise out of the new system of premium
payments. piece payment, minimum out
Of ca cannyism. Most of these methods
pamphlet. New Problems Of Soviet
Power and they are no daily eulogized in
salvation"
Strikes nave been crushed by Lenine as
ruthlessly as by Robespierre.
The bolshevists, who call themselves a
workman's government a correspondent
in Petrograd wrote to the Russian liberia
their hands on the worknen as soon as
the latter do not submit to them. During
the March strikes in Petrograd a score or
so of workmen were shot at the works
which had struck, an order being likewise
issued to discharge all work1nen who did
not wish &c resume -ccs. Il connection
mems delegates, and also the soviet of
Petrograd trade unions, passed a resolu-
ton tina in a state with such a socialistic
egime as soviet Russia Workmen have no
right to strike
In the light of these experiments we
may we'll ask ourselves how far revolution
is likely to aid the cause of trade union
ism in this country.

HAD CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY.
THIS IS WORTH READING

Il 80 -,
The experience Of Mr. E. j. Tou-
palik, 143S Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account Of the length Of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: 81 have been SUI
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
l would catch cold and become so
hoarse | could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-Ru-NA. By the time I had
used three-fourths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. I am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. It is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
boating, belching gas, indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some Of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
pE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet OF liquid
form.

BurIey Millions.
From the ohio State ,Journal

From the Ohio State Journal.
An Ohio river resident tells us there is
plenty of money scattered along that
noble stream, most OF 1t, however, in the
little banks of that region. He says there
are village banks that house 81 ,OO0, 900,
nearly all of which come from the hurley
weed, that has made tobacco culture so
famous and profitable. 1t has filled the
land with automobiles and happiness ev-
eryWhere abounds. Though one is not apt
to .extol tobacco as the finest weed that
grows, 1t is quite easy to list it among
the sources of %inancia prosperity. And
when a fellow sits with a bunch of hurley
and a capacious pipe at hand, he is very
apt to forget the p~erplexities of life, while
he remembers those millions in the banks.

a Union Worker Wisdom.


John II. Ferguson. President eathmor Federation of Labor
No program of betterment will prove reasonably effective without
a reform in the spirit Of both capital and labor. The laborer must
come to realize that he owes his employer and society an honest days
work in return for a fair wage, and that conditions can not be substan-
TALLY improved until he roots out the desire to get a maximum of
return for a minimum of service. The capitalist must likewise get a
new view point. He needs to learn that long forgotten truth chat
wealth is stewardship, that profit making is not the basic justification
of business enterprise, and that there are such things as fair profits,
fair interest, and fair prices. Above and before all, he must cultivate
and strengthen within his mind the truth which many of his class
have already begun to grasp: namely, that the laborer is a human
being, not merely an instrument of production, and that the laborer's
right to a decent livelihood is the first moral charge upon industry.
