money is paid miners per ton and that their wage
scale is higher than in the districts organized by
the United Mine Workers. That may be true in
smaller and highly competitive districts but is
certainly not true of the counties where the fight
is now centered. The miners are robbed in wages
through the lack of having their own weighmast-
ers. Cars holding more than the standard amount
Of coal are sent to the mines and miners are paid
only for the standard weight. Armed guards are
employed by the operators and secret service oper
ators shadow every miner suspected of belonging
to the forbidden union. The houses where the
miners live belong to the companies and the
privilege" of living in them extends only over
the period that the miner is employed at the Mines
The stores from which the miners buy food
are controlled by the companies and as one work.
er quoted by Mr.. Gleason in the Nation remarked
1--WE work in his plant We live in his house Our
children go to his school, On Sunday we go to hear
his preacher. And when we die we are buried in
his cementery"
1t is against this brutal system of peonage
that the United Mine Workers are struggling.
Those who are feeling the restraints of liberty and
freedom of action are the first to revolt That
revolt is beginning to express itself in an appalling
list of dead and wounded, appalling for the period
of what is generally termed our civilization.
The war now going on is certainly to be a
decisive struggle The operators know this fact
and have summoned all the forces of state and in
dustry at their command to their aid The union
miners are fully cogniznat of it's decisiveness and
also have summoned all their ablest organizers to
go into West Virginia.

The problem is How to organize West Vir-
ginia so that it will not act as "strike-breaker
in case of coal strike One method apart from
organizing, that may be uggested here would be
to work through the railroad workers educating
them to the spirit of class consciousness. They
could then refuse to carry scab coal from the
mines. If this were done the result would be eff
fective for the union and disastrous for the oper-
ators. The railroads forking Unto that district
cannot supply cars fast enough to take the coal
away from the mines Mines are shut down usual
", on an average of one working day week be-
cause of lack of cars. If the railroad workers were
class conscious enough, when general strike is
declared in the mining industry, their refusal 70
carry coal would be effective enough to win the
strike for miners in other regions.
Mining By Machinery.
The operators in the non-union fields are full
ly cognizant of the power they hold because Of
their policy toward the United Mine Workers.
They are taking advantage of that policy in the
fields of production. In Logan County, tremendous
power plants are being built to facilitate the min
ing of coal by machinery To-day there is compara-
lively more coal mined by machinery in West Vir-
gnia than anywhere else in the country. Where
the average of machine-mined coal throughout
the country is $50 of the total production, in
West Virginia this average is $3.50 and steadily
growing The machine production percentage IF
Logan County is greater than the state percentage
but at this writing the exact figure is in deterin
ate.
The continuous policy of the coal operators
has been identical with the policy carried out by
the United States Steel Corporation in it's plants
over the country. No recognition of the Union the
stimulation of racial prejudces, the denial of civil
liberties through the controlling of the state
machinery by the operators, are all strkingly SIM
liar to the methods used to combat unionism
in the steel industry.
In the states of West Virginia, Maryland,
Tennessee and Alabama, there are 10000 miners
uorganized and, in the words of one investigator
of those regions, utterly helpless in meeting the
encroachments of organized wealth under regime
of individual bargaining"

Production Costs Increased In Europe.
The cost Of production in European
countries will be increased over the
pre-war period because of the change
in labor conditions. In the matter of
machinery and efficient methods Of
production, America may be counted
upon to keep well apace. The cost OF
production and labor, and the in
creased shipping and banking facil-
tiles, as compared with pre-war COM
petition conditions, greatly favor the
American trader. The uncertain fac
tor in the immediate future of our for
eign trade is the unsolved problem of
foreign credit.
At the rates of exchange prevailing
October 6, 1919, a bushel Of wheat

equivalent of S2.74 in British money,
$3.50 in French money, S4.48 in Ital-
ian money, and $13.47 in German
money. If the depreciation of Euro
pean moneys continues, or the rate OF
exchange becomes more abnormal, 1t
will probably restrict imports not only
of bread cereals, but also of other
commodities, to the bare necessities,
and will constitute a powerful slim
illus in foreign countries to increase
production.

story told by eyewitnesses who discov-

and who have been within mile OF
the blistering white and red fountain.
Miss Louis Macmillan of Honolulu,
who has just returned from first
hand inspection of the eruption Of
Mauna Loa, tells the following eye-
witness story of the spectacle:
1.-THE still hot rock under our feet
commenced to scorch our shoe soles
after. five minutes or so of standing
on it. A foot back OF where / was
standing, a red-ho. bed of lava with a
few cool stones scattered over it, like
bed of Goals with few small clink-
ers on top, glowed constantly. Six
feet away on the other side gas
flame several feet high played con-
tinually over a patch of bare red-hot
rock, and anywhere we looked into
the cracks, the fiery, uncooled core
could be seen evilly cleaning. Every
step had to be taken with care not to
put the foot down into any of these
cracks.
"As night came on, we expected
darkness, but instead bright, rosy
glow suffused the whole country
roundabout. 1t was reflected from
the clouds overhead, which were bril-.
liantly lit up by the glowing lava."

All gentlewomen will welcome the

Endless ingenuity and small pieces
or bits and scraps Of silk or ribbons
appear to be the most valuable assets
Of those who love to dO fancy work
and almost every woman delights in
milking pretty things. The uses that
the ingenious find for the odds and
ends of silk and velvet that accumu-
late in the scrap bag, make scrap
bag regular treasure. There is a
long list Of fascinating trinkets and
belongings that spring from this I'M
pretentious source, most of them per-
sonal things dear to dainty women.
Gold lace, gold net, lingerie lace,
made silk flowers and fruits are the
elegancies that join forces with silken
stuffs to fashion all these trinkets and
perfumed powders scent many of
them.
Starting out with the simplest and
smallest, there are little sachet bags,
two or three inches square, made Of
bright colored ribbon and filed with
cotton scented with sachet powder. A
half dozen of these little bags, each
having tiny gilt safety pin in its
edge, are tied together in a package
with a narrow ribbon. They may be
pinned in the dress or placed In glove,
handkerchief or veil boxes or with
stationery, pervading everything with
q delicate odor. Or the bags may be
cut heart shaped, pinned in row to

placed in little box to be used as

OiIer in Western Mill
Stripped by Skating


Vina. Nev.-With every stitch

body, G. w. Pearl, an oiler, en-
ployed in the mill of the Olym-
pic Mines company, was picked
up from the floor of the mill by
fellow employees and found to
have suffered no serious injury,
despite the fact that he was
whirled around a rapidly NOV
ing shafting several times.
Pearl was oiling the line shaft
ing in the mill when his cloth
ing was entangled in set
screw on the shafting. The
clothing held fast for a few Sec
onds and he was pulled onto
the shafting and whirled around.
How many times he went
around he could not tell, but
when his clothes finally gave
way he was shot to the floor of
the mill and had nothing on but
his shoes.
He has a few bruises to show
for his experience.
