The Impending Coal Strike


The strike of the coal miners of southern Colorado,
lie interest presents features that worthy
of very careful consideration.
This controversy is not between employer and his
employees but it is controversy between employer and
his employees side and outsiders who insist upon
their right to interfere in the arrangements made be-
tween employer and employe
According to the unanimous decision of the Colo
RADIO Industrial commission The Colorado Fuel and Iron
company made agreement lawful and not against pub
lie interest with its employees in certain coal mines for
reduction of wages The commission further reported
that the present scale of wages for coal mining
sive compared with other industries, and that the
reduction of wages if transformed into reduction
in the price of coal would be of great benefit to other
industries and to the general public.
Opposition to this reduction comes from the great
labor unon the Mine Workers of America, which for
many years has been striving to establish its control
the coal mining industry of Colorado The mines
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company operated
the open shop plan without discrimination for against
members of the union The union officials supported
by many of the employees of the company many of them
in mines whore the agreement not signed, and
some, it is claimed, in the mines where the agreement
was made.<
In view Of the unanimous decision Of the Industrial
commission, including the labor representative upon
that board it is fair statement to say that the only
for the strike is opposition reduction of wages
without regard to the business elements involved,
the public interests coupled with the well known policy
of the Mine Workers to obtain control of the industry
and to embarass the operators whenever possible until
the closed shop is established.
Under such conditions the following conclusions are
The right to strike is indisputable.
The right of employer to reach an agreement with
his employees, if lawful and not incompatible with pub
lie interest, is also indisputable
The Mine Workers have the right to use all peaceful
win non-unon men to their way Of think
ing and they have legal right to call strike to
prevent wage reduction.
The coal operators and all their employees who desire
protection from violence, intimidation and unlawful
interference
The people Of southern Colorado are entitled to
have full knowledge of the facts of the decision Of
the Industrial commission. They have a right to
supply of coal at reasonable price They
and insurrection without regard to the from
which these disturbances arise.
The people of southern Colorado have the right TO
insist of public interest and public safety
that the rights of capital and the rights of labor shall
be made equally secure and that engaged in lawful
interference Of every kind.

adverse later.
During this rule women may find
themselves inclined toward visionary

be very unlucky.
Theatres at this time may meet with

Washington comes under the influ-
ences of this rule which makes for
concentration of news bureaus and
elimination of correspondents.
Writers have rather a menacing sign
that presages a period in which they
may meet with infavorable conditions.
The evening of this day may be
most inauspicious time for lovers
meetings and particularly unlucky for
girls who will discover that men arc
tickle.
Mill,ners and modistes may not ex-
pect particularly brisk trade while
this configuration prevails. since 1t is
held to make women uncertain and
difficult to please.
Fashions are to become moro mod

An unusual susceptibility among

Publicity-An Evil and Nuisance

Most people understand in general way something
of the evils of what is commonly called publicity but
only those who familiar with the actual work Of
newspaper office appreciate the proportions of
custom that has to be both evil and nuisance.
Whenever anybody anywhere, starts to do anything
ii seems that the first step is to appoint ''publicy
agent" The purpose Of this appointment is to obtain
newspaper service without paying the newspaper for
that service. Publicity agents often receive large sal
aries. Much money is spent for postage for stationery
for job printing for Office rents and for other expenses
the sole purpose of which is to obtain newspaper space
without payment to the newspaper. Occasionally an
appropriation is made for legitimate advertising, but
even then the advertising is rarely strict busi-
ness affair." but additional ''pubcity' is expected
demanded, for which no payment is made.
Looking at publicity from the newspaper stand
point it is nothing less than attempt to get something
for nothing The solicitation in every form from
that of polite request to that Of insolen demand
