WAGES Of MINERS
| TOLD BY OPERATOR
Pay and Operation in West
Virginia Explained by
J. w. Dawson.

There has been much miSstatement
Of fact concerning wages Of bituminous
coal miners. particularly in the mine
fields of West Virginia, ]. w. Dawson
a coal operator of Charleston, w. Va,
asserts today in a public statement.
'1n the kanawha field of West Vir-
ginia there are approximately 100
mines. giving employment to about 15,-
600 men, Mr.. Dawson says. "They
work about eight hours and the highest
paid employees are the machine cutters
leaders and pick miners; the lowest
paid are the trappers, couplers and
greasers.
Men Get $e.1s to $1e.14 a Day.
"Pay rolls Of twenty-five mines show
of from S6.1S per day, the lowest, up
to 1914 day. The lowest paid EN-
ploye of this class, working full time,
earned s166S5 for twenty-seven days
work; the highest earned $210.63 for
eleven days work.
"Othcr earnings, typical of the entire
300 mems pay, were S251.39 for twenty
five days work s2656o for twenty-six
days work, s239.7s for twenty two
days work, s21o.59 for twenty four
days work, s249.92 for twenty three
days work, s216.42 for twenty five
days work, sl55.43 for twenty three
days work, and S335.32 for twenty-six
days work.
mo attempt is made to cite ey-
treme cases. Some of the men earned
up to s400 for twenty-six days work
Actual Operation of Mines.
"It is said that the mines do not
operate regularly. Following is the
actual record of mine operation at
five large mines, employing 2,5U0 men
In May, 251k: in June, 23 days; in
July, August and September "a period
of acute car shortage), 1Sh, 16h and
II days. respectively; in October. %
davs. The average working time at
these mines for the six-month period
ending with october was 2o1s days
per month.
During this six-month period these
mines paid out s290.497.57 in wages.
every man on the pay roll"
During this period, however, the
men on the pay roll worked only an
average of thirteen and one-half days
per month. The mines operated tWen-
ty and one-half days month. In other
words. the employees worked only 62
per cent of the time they could have
worked. Had they worked every day
the mine was in operation they could
have earned an average of $175 per
month for the six months. notwlth-
standing the short running time in
July, August and September because
of car shortage; and their average
earnings could have been at the rate
of $2,100 per year.
"These figures include all empbyes.
They include the boys from sixteen to
eighteen years of age, who earned from
$3.50 to $2.55 per day as couplers,
greasers and trappers.

URGESLAW TOBAN
!. v. v. IN NATION
A. S. Lanier, D. c. Attorney,
Writes Senator Myers of
Menace of Radicals.

In letter to Senator Myers at
tacking the 1. w. W., Alexander Sid
ney Lanier, local attorney, urges the
enactment of law banning abso-
lutely the existence Of this organi-
zation in the United States. He con-
tends that membership in the l. w
w. or advocacy of it's principles
should be made unlawful
"Avowed1y Revolutionary"
'The organization is avowedly revo-
lutionary," said Mr.. Lanier, "and its
purpose, as stated in it's constitu-
ton and preamble thereto, is to de-
stroy our government, and overthrow
the existing social order"
In uphoIding his belief that such
a law would be constitutional Mr.
Lanier said:
'It is the fundamental right of all
governments to defend, protect and
perpetuate themselves, and especially
is this true of such government as
ours, which obviates the necessity OF
revolution by providing appropriate
and orderly methods for effecting any
changes in it's Constitution and ad-
ministration by the act and through
the will of the majority of our citi-
zens, when they deem changes neces'
Sary.

TOPREVENT OPERA
Director English of w. C. C.
Emphasizes French Origin
of "FauSt."

Efforts to prevent. by means of
widely distributed circulars. the pro-
duction of the opera Faust" at the
Shubert-Garrick Theater next Monday
night were said today by Director
English of the War Camp Com
munity Service to be ridiculous and
not worthy of attention
The opera is to be produced by the
Washington Opera Association, under
the auspices of the War Camp Com
munity Service. When copies of the
circulars were shown to Director
English he said:
"As everybody knows, with one OF
two exceptions 1t seems. Faust" Is a
French opera written by Charles
Guonod. 1t is sung. as a rule. in
French, but we are doing IL in Eng
lish. Arnold Volpe, the conductor, is
helping us, and his regular job is di-
recting the Municipal Orchestra OF
New York city. Edouard Albion. our
director in charge. is a Canadian. As
far as T know there is not a German
in the cast anywhere. 1t is all a big
joke to any one who knows musical

MT. Tumulty," according to an As sociated Press dispatch, "said the President received no gifts which would have required an act of Con- gross for him to accept. The King of Italy presented the President with two old guns and the King of England gave him book"
 It seems to us that MT. Humility is unduly callous toward the reasonable curiosity of the public. What was the book which the King of England gave to the President? We assume, of course, that it was "The Poung Visi- ters," and that Tumulty withheld the name for fear the Senate might be- gin two weeks debate to decide whether it was written by J. M. Barrie or Daisy Ashford -Heywood Brown in New Pork Tribune.
