has been a great gouge in the
selling price of coal, but that the
miners were not responsible for it
and did not get the money.
Says $1,000 Income Impossible.
In order to fool the public rep
resentative of the coal operators
a Few days ago made the state
ment that it was possible for a
coal miner to earn $1,000 year
under the present wage scale.
Such talk is mere rot The pres
ent day wage scale is $3.50 a day.
If a man worked the entire 30S
days in year the total amount of
his earnings for the year at $3.50
a day would be only $3.50, which
lacks great deal of being $1,000.
And even at the present standard
tonnage rate of S1.0S a ton, the
actual miner, if he dug an impos-
sible average OF ten tons a day,
could earn only S3,326.40 by work
ing every work day in the year.
are idle large part of the time
each year through no fault of the
miner. Thousands of miners did
not have a single days work in
1921.
The United Mine Workers of
America have been ready all along
to meet with the operators and
work out a new wage agreement
to take effect on the 1st day of
April and avert a suspension of
coal mining. They are still willing
and anxious to meet with the
operators for that purpose. But
the operators Stubbornly refuse to
meet the miners. They signed
written agreement in New York
on March31, 1920. that they would
meet the miners in a joint confer
1922, but they have deliberately
and boastfully broken that agree
ment. They admit they signed the
agreement and they admit they
have violated it, but they simply
ask: "What are you going to do
about it?" Their violation of this
solemn agreement was dishonor-
able assault upon every funda-
mental principle of business

believe the American public will
sustain the operators in such
vicious conduct. The operators
may offer all the excuses they can
think of, but there is no valid ex-
cuse for contract-breaker.
We want the people to know all
of the facts, SO that il and when
the pinch of a coal shortage comes
they will know who is responsible
for it.
