We want the public TO remem berl
when 1t is compelled to pay a highl
price for coal that the miners are1
not to blame.
In 1921 the union miners of thsI
country were employed only AMI
average of 125 DAYS. Thousandsl
had only IA to 2e days work in theJ
entire year. The average earninss]
were only 500. This is not enough

We are willing to continue the]
present wage scale in force for an-1
other two years. In the hope that
there may be a revival of business1
and industry that will afford them
more steady employment. They
are willing to take this chance.
WHAT CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN.
For many months past. coal COM
panies in many sections OF the
country have conducted a campaignl
for unemployment and starvational
of coal miners to compel them to-
take reduction In wages. In]
some fields coal companies havs]
told miners they would give them
work. II they accept a reduction .oj

from the union. 4
This OF itself. is enough TO sus-1
tain our charge that unemploy-1

using
MEN WANT TO WORK. 4
we regret the necessity for the n
suspension OF coal mining. Our9
men want 10 work and earn liv-7
ing but the operators are determine
ed that they shall not.
The whole matter is now in thes
hands of the public. More than1
500. 900 men will lay down their1
tools on April 1. because the opera
tors refuse to make q wage agree
ment with them. Men cannot be
expected to work when they do not
know what they are to get for their
labor, nor the conditions under
which they are to work.
