OUR WEATHER EYE
Garfield Was Wrong

He told us when the coal strike
was settled that the consuming
public was slated to pay the wage
increase allowed the miners; and
because he did not approve Of this,
he resigned his position as fuel adj
ministrator.
His disapproval was based upon
good grounds. By comparing the
increase in the cost of living since
1914 with the wage increases of the
miners since that time, he deter
mined that further increase of
fourteen per cent would restore the
balance. Therefore he held this to
be the increase in pay to which the
miners were rightfully entitled.
Furthermore, since the mine ownsrs
were making exorbitant profits, he
held that they could and should pay
this increase in wages without rails
ing the price of coal. The figures,
which are on record, were on his
side, and no one has questioned the
correctness Of his conclusion.
Let US notice the sequel. The
commission appointed by the pres
ident has decided that the miners
should have an increase Of twenty
seven per cent instead of fourteen,
and that not the mine owners but
the public should pay the bill; and
the owners have followed this with
the announcement that the price
per ton would be raised by any
where between sixty-five cents and
$I.25. This, Notwithstanding the
actual increase in pay to the miners
amounts to less than thirty cents
per ton on an average.
Here is where Garfield made his
mistake. He said the increase
would be passed on to us who con-
sumo coal. 1t appears that from
two to four times the increase will
be passed on to us instead.
| This is as fair as it would be for
the farmers of the nation to Join
together and force the rest of the
people to pay fifty cents per pound
for pork and four dollars per busheI
for wheat, allowing them the choice
of paying these prices or starving,
for we must pay the price demand
ed for coal or freeze. In other
words it is a monstrous crime
against society, aided and abetted
apparently by the administration.
1t seems time that the farmers
of the country We're speaking up,
not with program Of extortion,
but with demand that will not be
denied that others cease this sort
of thing md get back to the golden
rule and common honesty us rules

OF SAME ORIGIN As COAL
stance Long Used for Various
Ornaments.

Jet is a sort of Ignite or anthracite,
often cut and polished, which has the
peculiarities in weight and texture of
the hardest kind of anthracite. 1t has
been used in Britain since before his
toric times, and was common in the
bronze age, from which times have
come jet beads, buttons, rings, armlets
and other ornaments.
julius Caesar alludes to the abund-
ance Of Jet in Britain, and jet orna-
ments are found with Roman relics
In them. The monks used jet for ro-
sary beads at Whitby Abbey, and at
Whitney, where it was found in the
greatest abundance. 1t occurs in ir-
regular masses in hard shale known as
Jet rock.
Often microscopic examination dis
closes coniferous wood in the compo-
sition of jet. 1t is probable that Jet
was developed when masses Of wood
drifted down a river, rotted or became
water logged and sank out at sea, be-
coming gradually buried in a deposit
of fine mud which hardened eventually
into shale Sometimes drops of BIZ
tumin are found in jet cavities, which
seems to confirm the suspicion Of its
wood origin.-Detroit News
