COAL STRIKE DECLARED OFF

At this writing the welcome word is
being spread abroad that the coal
strike has been declared off by the
leaders of the United Mine Workers
Association and it is now subject to
meditation The sudden change to
cold weather was making the results
of the strike felt and was the begin
ming of suffering among those who
were without coal. The United States
government is to act as mediator
between the miners and the operators
in settlement of the dispute which
caused the strike 1t is to be hoped
that for once greed and Selhshness Will
be laid aside and the controversy will
be settled on the basis of the greatest
good to the greatest number of peo-
pie
There was a time when labor was
down-trodden and subjected to the
will, the whips and slings of the cap
ltallSt but during the trouble with the
coal strikers and the steel workers
labor has shown itself to be no weak
the situation, and the strike was re-
called only through respect to the
United States government and its
courts and not because the miners
were starved out or beaten. With this
condition confronting the capitalist it
will soon be necessary for them to
make some other arrangement with
labor than a mere wage schedule such
has existed for so many years.
Labor is gradually demanding more
from capital and larger share of
the profits. It looks like the only
solution will be cooperative or
profit sharing system such as Is now
in opreation in many of the large
manufacturing plants of the nation
There is justice in capital making
an immense profit. The 1aborers and
the public should have a share of it.
Each laborer who works for a COM
pany certain length of time should
automatically become an owner of
share of stock in that company and
should draw dividends upon it. Each
share of stock should be allowed to
draw a reasonable dividend and the
article manufactured should be sold
at a price which will pay the wages
of the 1aborers- and the dividend on
This same sort of a schedule could
apply to mining coal just the same
as to any other line of business and it
ment as this will be made and pending
trouble ayerted, trouble which is sure
ly coming under the present system.
