advantage in labor cost, whether in
the coal business or in any busi-
ness in the world, either must give
the lower cost producers the com
petitive power OF life and death over
the high cost producers, or, If the
high cost producers are permitted
to live. give the lower cost producers
a fabulous profit extracted from the
public paying as much for the
eheaply produced coal as for the
dearly produced coal.
What befeli the miners in those
two counties, in one of which the
labor cost was 80 per cent. a ton
higher than in the other. is an i'm
portant matter in the study of this
grave national question. In West.
m moreland county, where the aver
age miner produced 1874 tons a
year, and at a labor cost of only
s1.55 a ton. the miners got an aver
age OF 1874 working days and earn
ed SLAP each in the year. In
Clearneld county, where the aver
age miner produced only 4s5.22
tons at a labor cost of 81 a ton the
men got an average of only 100
days work in the year and earned
only 1911 each.
Even worse earning results were
the experience of miners I'm some
other counties. In Elk county
1,778 men averaged liz days of
work each and earnings for the year
of 1858. In Bedford county 1,15s
miners averaged only ninety-four
days OF work each and earnings for
the year of $500. The very worst
showing was for 143 men in Blair
county with an average of only
twenty-seven days each and earnings
OF 1884.
On the other hand a small group
of 1877 miners in Lawrence county
averaged 2s1 days each and s1,257
each. In Venango seventeen miners
averaged 800 days each and s1,31s
each. The highest average earning
were made by 2,29I miners in
