}. VI. SWANSON RESIGNS

J. VI. swanson. Chairman of the
City Council. has rendered his resig.
nation to take effect at once. Mr.
Swanson was serving as Councilman
from First Ward. and having moved
from his ward to Second Ward he
could not legally act any further in
that capacity. 1t is with considera bic
regret by the public as well as the
Mayor and other members Of the
council that Mr.. Swanson can no
longer serve as one of the city Off
cials. During the time he has served,
a little over three years. Mr.. Swan
son has been perhaps the most eff
cient worker of any member of the
City Council since the incorporation
of the City of Payette He is a man
of excellent judgment and mechani-
cal ability and we believe in his oper-
alton has saved the tax payers some
money and with the cooperation of
the other members OF the Board has
brought about some valuable chang
es in the City affairs. Mr. L. W.
Spaulding was appointed by Mayor
Woodward as chairman of the COun-
Gil. An appointment to fill the va
cancy caused by Mr.. Swanson's resig-
nation has not been made.

Secretary Graft both rendered their

No action was taken regarding new
Officers 10 fill the vacancies. This
leaves the Club without a president

the maintenance of the same.

I The Honorable DR.. l. r Woodward.
Mayor OF the City Of Payette, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
We. your committee on Police and
Fire. to whom the matter of investi-
rgating the Fruitland fire was referr-
ed. beg leave to report that after con
ter-iug with the Fire Chief of the
City OF Payette and others We find
the following:
That the Fire Chief received in
formation that the said fire existed
in Fruitlaad and that he did not call
the members of the fire department
because the City fire truck was not
in condition to make the trip and
that no further effort was made to
give relief to the residents of Fruit
land Neither was any alarm sound
ed so that the residents of Payette
could be informed OF the fire and
thus give aid to the people OF Fruit
land
These circumstances are very much
regretted and. in view OF the facts
above set forth. we respectfully rec
Ommend that the Fire Chief be ask
ed TO tender his resignation and that
smother Fire Chief be appointed in
his stead.
Respectfully submitted,

THE "RAPAC|TY' Of
THE COAL MINERS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. g.
Bituminous coal miners are pre-
pairing to submit to the Presidents
coal commission figures to show
that the average annual earnings
of all the soft coal mine workers in
the Central Competitive Field, for
the six years from 1918 to 1918, in
elusive, were $S73.S5. This is less
than SIS a month And out of this
sum, the miners say. they had to
pay for their supplies, such as
powder. caps, fuse, oil, transporta-
tion to and from the mines. and
other items. amounting to SIS to S12
a month.
The miners have collected infor-
nation and data from Government
sources, as we'll as from the mining
and statistical departments of the
various States. and they insist that
their figures are as nearly correct
as it is possible to get them. They
express the belief that the public
will be surprised to learn that the
been so small, because reports have
been published from time to time
to the effect that miners were MAX
ing fabulous wages. Coal operators
recently published full page adver-
tisements in a number of leading
daily papers giving names of min
ers who, they said, earned from
5000 TO $500 a month. Officials of
the United Mine Workers pointed
out that the advertisements did not
give the names or locations of the
mines in which these men were en-
ployed, nor did they give the aver
age earnings of all of the men en-
ployed in these particular mines.
I've doubt if these advertise
ments speak the truth" said Ellis
Searles, editor of the United Mine
Workers Journal. And even if
they did speak the truth they do
not mean anything, because the
earnings of the highest price men
cannot be taken as 20 indication of
the earnings of all the employees
of the mine. The only fair way TO
ascertain the earnings of the min
ers is to take the earnings of all
and strike an average. 1t is unfair
to the public for the operators to
pick out a few men who are fortu-
nate enough to earn fair wages and
try to mislead the people into be-
lieving that all of the miners earn
such wages
The Central Competitive Field
is composed of Western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
and it produces more soft coal than
my plIiOI llclu III lle NOItu. us
annual output is approximately
100000 tons. and it employs
nearly, if not quite, 100000 mine
workers Standard wages are paid
in this field and it is here that the
average earnings of the mine work
ers for the siN-year period referred
to above were only $S73.S5 per
year. Any man with a family to
support will understand how i'm
possible it is for a miner to support
his family on a decent American
standard of living on an income of
less than SIS a month, in these days
of outrageous prices. That's why
the miners feel that they are en-
titled to relief in the form of
substantial increase in wages"
