COAL FACTS AND COLD FACTS

! The call for facts about coal is
quite general in the press, but the
call for coal to fill the winter bins
| is likely to be more pronounced
George Otis Smith of the L. S. Geo
! logical Survey charged the coal op-
ciatcrs with short sighted policy
of opposition to public inquiries into
! The facts of the industry. He said
he believed the public suspicion
which already exists is aggravated
by this attitude,
| A few days ago the miners Of the
anthracite. replying to the conten-
ton of the operators that an increase
of wage must cause an increase in
price to the consumer, said:
! Your proposed wage reductions
would not cause a drop in the price
of coal. The present high prices
! canrot he attributed to any past in
Creaees in wage rates, for the labor
cost of coal per ton is now only $3.50.
whereas the increase in retail price
since 1913 has been from 81 to $40
Per ton"
/ This strike in the anthracite re
| sion has been on for nearly two
months. Has the consumer got to
ray the price of sustaining both sides
to this controversy over all this
time? And in addition to that throw
in bonus for the coal barons?
/ With regard to the soft coal the
bureau Of mines has recently brought
out cert2 II facts From these it
appears that the mining of the BIZ
luminous coal is diverse and
scattered industry, that conditions in
/ one district may differ widely from
those in another. But in no dis
trict is it practicable to mine and
store soft coal as may be done with
/ anthracite because of the heating
and consequent deterioration. Then
! too, there are small mines and in
all more mines than can be man
aged profitably except under unusu-
al conditions. Director Smith
| thinks some arrangement is neces-
sary under which at a lower rate of
wage the miners may by means Of
more continuous employment earn
more and the public get cheaper
coal. But who is to bell the cat?
/ Meanwhile bring Ion the coal facts

well, YOU see the lower is higher

for the lower. If YOU want i. lower
you will have TO so higher. We sell
upper lower than the lower. In 9th
or Words, the higher the lower.
Most people don't like the upper, al
though it is lower on account of its
being higher. When YOU occupy an
upper YOU have to get up to so to

You can have the lower if YOU pay

Put Lights on Teams

Automobiles who are CONSTANTLY
missing teams by inches while driy-
ing at night are wondering consjd-
erably why the law requiring lights
on orse-drawn vehicles is not bet
ter enforced. Too few Transfers
realize that when meeting one car
at night they can be seen but that
they are often lost completely in J
combination Of cars. 1t is surpris-
ing how quickly and completely q
team can disappear when the :ebts

at meeting.
II teamsters knew furthermore
now many hairbreadth escapes they

Another View of Coal Situation
Augusta, June II, 1922.

!
Daily Kennebec Journals:
In reply to EIr. Jones letter from
| BlUcfields, W. Va, in regard to the
soft coal situation, | am surprised
| TO find one who claims to be so well
| posted about the mines make such
statements. Perhaps, as he claims,
his state is SO far superior to all
| other states the mining conditions
| there are on the same plane; if
I so why not employ miners from q
! higher grade of men? | suppose
! he would lay the blame on the
i unions that he wishes to break.
| am we'll aware that the conditions
! in the union mines are far above
those of the non-union. Perhaps he
is in favor of miners all going to as
/ low a condition of work and living
as | found in western Pennsylvania
] think a miner would be very fool
i@h to so on q strike in mines run
as Mr.. Jones describes them and
am pleased to know they are not
American citizens. and l can pro-
duCe proof that in some mines the
operators are TO blame for that class
OF men being III this country. Now
l should like to ask Mr.. Bones a
few questions: IS he aware that in
! a large amount OF the mines run
ming now the vein is under four feet
and many of them as low as 80
inches? But the men in them are
helping to keep the wheels OF in
dustry running and by SO doing are
a credit to the nation. The operators
of these little mines that Mr.. Jones
calls wagon mines have raised the
| price from 50 cents to as high as
.Oo per ton, and their mines are
no pink tea parties either. Now us
the nation is depending on these
men, why not make their working
conditions better and give them the
credit due them? AS the floor Of Il
mine is full OF dips and as more or
less water is coming in All the time,
those dips are usually full, which
must drain to some slump hole in
order for the pumps to have any
effect on Keeping the water free Of
the rooms. Now if Mr.. Jones would
kindly explain the position a normal
man could assume in Il room from
80 to is inches high, work and keep
dry. l should be pleased to have him
do SO, for the benefit of those men
who are working to produce the coal
to keep the rest of us working and
our wives and children warm the
coming winter. What Mr. Jones
says about the shooting of the coal
being done in the night is his great
est error. Some large mines do, but
the greater part of tho small ones
shoot in the day time. / have often
seen the smoke so thick we had to
leave the mines early, and often the
conclusion from heavy shot would
put out our lights. At such times
we would thank the man who in
vented the automatic lighter. Where
the cutting machines are used the
pick comes in handy, for often after
shooting the coal is IN large Jumps
which must be broken up small
enough for a man to lift onto the
cars. Mr.. Jones appears to think
that Yankee is not competent TO
be judge. Perhaps he does not
know that the sons of Maine have
carried the Stars and Stripes around
the world and not for a single min
