Williamson, w. Va, Dec. 2s.-Life
in a striking miners tent colony.
along Tug river, has long since ceased
to be a novelty to the e women
and children who make up the colon
lists, but to the casual visitor 1t pres

When the miners in the Mingo
county field struck last July to en-
force their demand for recognition
of the. union, many of them left the
coal coml.any houses they occupied,
in some instances substantial brick
cottages with electric lights, and
went to live in tents provided by the
union. There the most of them have
remained, with their wives and fam
lilies.
A typical tent colony is hat known
as Lick Creek, Nesting in the valley
between Tug river and the mountains.
There are Fl tents, sheltcring approx
imately 100 persons. Martin Justice,

SOMETHING ROTTEN.

There is no good reason why coal
at the mouth of the mine should have
cost twice as much in the summer Of
1920 as it did in the summer Of 1913.
Production costs were high, but they
mad not doubled in twelve months.
and there is no good reason why the
North Dakota householder should be
paying $13 or $40 a ton nov for coal
such as Is selling 1t the mine for five
dollars a ton, OF less. There is some
thing rotten in the situation some
where. and it is time We had 4 show
down.
It is inconceivable that the govern
nent Of a great nation like ours
should stand helpless in the lace Of
conditions such as have long pre-
vailed in the coal trade. The con-
snner is helpless. The retailer is
he1pIess, 10 far as he comes in con-
. & with the general situation. Doubt
NJ many of those connected with
pkher branches Of the industry are
hsapless. But the simple and scan
dAIous fact is that millions Of people
have been charged two prices fer

SOCIALISM FAILED.

The following comment was writ
ten on a Socialistic experiment which
was undertaken, followed out and
abandoned:
This community was found to
breed much confusion and dis
content and retard much
ployment hat would have been
to their benefit and comfort For
the young men that were most
able and fit for labor did repine
that they should spend their
time and strength to work for
other mems wives and children
without any recompense. The
strong, or men of parts, had no
more in division of victuals and
clothes than he that was weak
and not able to do a quarter the
other could; this was thought
injustice. The aged and graver
men to be ranked and equalized
in 1abors and victuals, clothes
and so forth with the meaner
and younger sort thought it some
indignity and disrespect to them.
And for mems wives to be COM
manded to do service for other
men, as dressing their meat,
washing their clothes, they
deemed it a kind Of slavery,
neither could many husbands well
brook it.

Before breakfasting Brooke bought
a half dozen morning papers and took
them with him to the cafe, dumping
then. on the wide window sill beside
his chosen table. And, as he. spoon
ed his melon, slipped his coffee and
broke and buttered his rolls, his eye
ran down column after column in
search Of information on which,, he
reasoned. hung probably not only his
liberty a well.
In an out-of-way corner Of the
Herald he finally ended his search.
Already the matter had lost public in

Alexander Perry of Boston,"
Brooke read, yesterday identified as
his nephew the body of the young
man who was killed by falling from
the Empire State Express at Mott
Haven on Monday night. The victim
was John Brooke, of Honolulu, who
arrived at San Francisco April 20,
and was on his way to his uncle's
home in Boston. Mr.. Perry left for
Boston last evening with the body"
The idea of his uncle identifying
the remains of this utter stranger as
a .kinsman, gruesome as it a APP
|pealed to Brooke's sense OF. Hhun1or.
At the same time he read the state
ment with a 1easur Of relief.
There was no longer any chance of
the real relations or. friends of the
dead man coming forwards to claim
the body and question the disappear
ance Of the money; so he wa now
free to work along such lines as he
should choose to discover whence
those funds came and whittier they
were destined.
"It was not an easy task. Already
he had realized that. But It was one
and perhaps adventure, and he look
| ed forward now with some degree of
pleasure to its prosecutions, and with
quickening hope in its accomplish
ment.
AS he leisurely continued HIS break
fast, his mind was busy formulating
plans. He would look up Shorty
Hanks at the earliest opportunity. He
had pretended to know what was in
the bag and from whom It came. All

with the idea that the money was Ill
