SAYS MINERS ARE
NOT AT FAULT IF
SHORTAGE OCCURS
Ellis Searles, Editor of Mine
Workers Journal, Cites
Figures.

Indianapolis. Sept. s-Asserting
that American coal miners have dug
5, 100000 more tons of coal in 1920
than they did in 1919. Ellis Searles,
editor of the United Mine Workers
Journal, in a statement issued here
Wednesday declared that in spite of
labor troubles in the industry, mo
one can truthfully say that the min
ers are responsible for any coal
shortage that may occur"
Everybody" says Mr.. Searles,
lis bowling for coal and everybody
seems to be jumping on the miners
because there is said TO be a coal
shortage. Newspapers and everybody
else are saying that the trouble is
with the miners. They say that if
the miners would work there would
be plenty Of coal but that they will
not work.
Gives Report.
Now let's see about II. The re-
port of the United States geological
survey dated September fourth,
shows that in 1919. up to August 2S,
the miners dug 297.713,OO0 tons of
bituminous coal. In 1920. up to
August 2S, they dug 347,4O6, 600 tons
OF bitumious coal. The miners dug
fifty million tons more of bitumin-
Gus coal in 1920 up to August 2S
than they dug in 1919. And yet
people are complaining about a coal
shortage. on ali side we hear peo-
pie say they have no coal for the
winter What has become OF this
fifty million tons excess over last
year? Where is il? Why is IL that
the people have no coal?
There was not much difficulty
about the coal supply in 1919 when
production was fifty million tons
less than the production this year
up 10 August 2S. Then why should
there be any trouble about coal sup
ply this year? The only exception
in 1913 was the short time that the
coal strike was in progress. When
one stops TO think about the 'situa-
ton. he cannot help but feel that
there is something wrong in the dis
tribution OF coal. II a coal short
ago hits the American public this
year it will not be the fault OF the
miners, for they have produced fifty
million tons more soft coal than
last year.
More Hard Coal.
The hard coal miners produced
10000 tons more coal this year
than last year.
ITO those in the habit Of placing
all the blame on the miners FOR
everything that goes wrong in the
coal industry, / might call attention
10 the following statement from the
report OF the geological survey for
September 9Th:
" In spite OF labor distur Dances
transportation disability in one form
or another. remained the dominant
factor limiting production. for out
weighing all other causes OF loss
combined.
But in spite OF all the draw
backs. including car shortage, labor
shortage and every thing else. the
miners have given the public fifty
million tons more coal this year than
last year Surely no one can truth
fully say that the miners are respon-
sible for any coal shortage that may
occur"

BEES BUILT STOREHOUSE
ON LIMB OF PINE TREE

Cleveland, Nov. l6.---(Special.) lone
OF the most remarkable freaks ON the
part of the honey bee ever observed
in this section was reported here by
Luke Aumberd, Of the THIRD precinct
of this county. According 10 Mr.. Hum
berd, last summer a swarm of bees
was observed to have taken lodgment
In large pine tree. The swarm was
too high to be reached handily and SO
was left to its own devices. The bees
set to work preparing a store of honey
and one day last week Mr.. Humberd,
accompanied by some neighbors, went
to the tree and effected a harvest of
the honey by saving off and lowering
the limb to which the comb was at
tached. They found seven large honey
combs 11x14 inches, all filled with the
delicious nectar and most of the comb
capped over nicely.
This Is the first occurrence OF the
sort ever recorded in this section, al
though 1t is said that two other swarms
took up similar exterior lodgment In
trees in the same community and re-
mained all summer. This led some OF
the weatherwise to predict that we are
in for a mild winter.
In harvesting the honey 1t was nec-
essary, of course, to destroy the busy
little workers who at infinite pains and
labor had provided It. and this was the
only regret of the harvesters.
