MINERS H. c. L.
At Mercy of Retail Dealers Who
 Charge Excessively.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2.-When but ter was selling in Chicago at 80 cents pound 1t was selling in some of the Illinois coal mining towns at 90 cents a pound. It is said at the headquarters of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica in this city that the cost of living in mining communities is higher than anywhere else in the country. This statement Is based on figures and re- ports received at the headquarters from many mining towns. Coal miners say that they are at the mercy of retail dealers who charge what they please for the necessaries of life which the miners must buy, because there is no other market in which they can obtain the goods.
 This is pointed to by the miners as one of the strong reasons why they arc entitled to substantial increase in wages at the hands of the commission appointed by President Wilson to inves- tigate the bituminous coa industry, fix wages and working Conditions and the selling price of coal.
 The miners are planning to present to the commission full information in re- gard to the increase in the cost of living as 1t affects the miners and their fami1- ies. They will base their showing wholly on the prices that are charged in mining camps and mining commun- ities, and they declare that the figures

WAGES OR WEALTH.
A Business Education Offers Un- limited Possibilities for Workers.

With an era of tremendous business prosperity before this country 1t would seem the part of wisdom for every young man or woman to enter the busi- ness field with as little delay as possible and 1t goes without saying that to enter 1t properly equipped is absolutely essen t1al to success.
 An opportunity to properly fit one business world, assuring good financial returns and unlimited possibilities for advancement Is offered by The Butler Commercial and Secretarial School of New Haven, which opens its 3Oth an- nual winter term Monday in its new quarters in the Steinert building, Orange and Court streets.
 Many young working men and women and the children of wage earning par ents have fitted themselves for an en- vlable place i'll the business world at this institution during it's long existence and Sidney Per1in Butler, headmaster since 1889, has always evinced particu- lar interest in advancing the welfare of pupils who are honestly endeavoring to better their condition in life.
 MT. Butler has also shown a very friendly attitude toward trade unionism and has on many occasions extended his cooperation to our local organizations. The Butler School is a member of the New Haven Trades Councils Co-Oper- atlve Campaign and any of our young people who prefer a business career to one offering far less opportunity should lose no time in consulting with its off, cers i'll relation to tuition.

 A union for mothers is of course un- thinkable. Absurdities pile up when you think of it. That is because mother hood never is and never can be a busi- ness. It is fnesart, almost divine art.-Editorial in November Modern Priscilla"
 The above is undoubtedly true.

MOTHERS UNION.
l Worker Who Is Entitled to
 Better Conditions.

Teachers have done it, mothers may, and then we shall see.
 At present mother usually works a 12 to 15-hour day. After she joins the union, eight will be her limit, with Sun days off and a Saturday half holiday.
 Her work will begin say at in the morning, when she nurses the baby. With an hour off for breakfast and an other for dinner, the mothers whistle will be blown at 1 in the afternoon.
 It may be a bit difficult at first for the family to get used to the new ar engagement. Of course there will be no di1ner at night when father gets home If he misses the hot meal at the end of the days work, maybe he can persuade mother to let the baby go without break fast IT. the morning so that she may be- gin the day later, say at o'clock, and end at 6.

1000 Per Cent. Profit! That's What One Coal Company Made, Shown by McAdoo Report senate-164 Corporations Made 100 Per Cent More!

of the employer and the case of the
 police IS easily had,/ It Is compact case. The points of contact with this news are fixed and everyone knows where they are The points of con- tact with the case for the workers
 usually are not fixed and the whole situation is lacking i'll compactness. The
 reporter who lives up to the best tra-
 dltions of journalism finds need of
 specia! knowledge and a necessity for
 hard work when it comes to this side
 of the case.
 America has need of better jour
 na1ism; of journalism that goes about
 its work with intelligence; of men trained in the field of labor news. News papers have long recognized the need of training men especially for the work of reporting finance. Men are trained for the reporting of news in many fields. Men who know nothing of ships are not assigned to write the news of ships
 Our country will have a better under standing and fuller knowledge of the developments on the industrial field when our newspapers apply a higher grade of intelligence to the work. It is not a vicious situation with which we are confronted; it IS a situation in which lack of knowledge IS the evil. The vicious newspaper is the exception and the dshonorable writer of news is an 'outcast among his fellows. It is re- grettab1e and a great misfortune that at this crucial stage in American indus trial life there should be so much pro- found ignorance at the very heart of our sources of information. The hope fu1 thing is that, while viciousness would be difficult, if not impossible to cure, ignorance can and will be re- moved. Wise and thoughtful editors will set themselves about this task. If, knowing the fault, they do not find the remedy, then another opinion of jour nalism will have to be formed.

 Dear Brother Smith:
 Enclosed please find check for my 1920 subscription. 1 take this occas- ion to congratulate you on the progress you have made with our splendid paper, The Connecticut La bor Press, and l feel sure that as the years pass on that every member of a labor organization in this locality will wake up to a realization of ex- actly what The Labor Press means, not only to the individual but also to the healthy progress of his organ ization and labor in general.
 This is not empty praise nor an attempt to boost your stock, for in my humble opinion we need you as much as you need our help.
 Wishing you and The Labor Press continued prosperity and a Happy New Year, I am
