duction of 3O,000,00O tons of coal a

aided the agreement as a victory. The
miners consider it a triumph because
they retain the check-off and are to
receive the same wage scale as that in

jubilant because they arranged a dis
trict agreement, a condition which has
been strenuously opposed by John l..

~tinuance until March 81, 1928, of the

ators. Because of the great quantity
of coal stored, and the fact that mines
would have lain idle whether or not
there had been a strike-the operators
cannot with good grace lay their in
creased price to the losses they bear.
1t is just plain profiteering.
LOCALIZED robbery is not too
strong. The government has taken
no steps to stop it, has passed no
laws for the purpose and so in a way
encourages it. The operators are
coming back on the public for losses
they have not suffered. There should
be some recourse but there is not.

pockets of the operators"
