and who in case of a strike or lockout, would naturally drift back
to their former occupations, but the fact is, in nearly all these
former trades and vacations there has been radical reductions in
wages and there ! a great probability that these men would prefer
TO remain. coal dlggers at the rate of pay that might be suggested
by the operators. From the standpoint of the union leaders it is
a situation that calls for consideration.
In many sections OF the country a condition is arising that
calls for deep study on the part of union leadership. The so-called
American plan has gained a foothold that cannot be ignored. 1t
was the natural result of an abuse of power by the unions at a per
iod when the supply of labor was far short of the demand. 1t was
a distinctly human display and is very apt to be in evidence upon
the other side when the tables are turned.
In reality there are no suggestions of a helpful nature in stu
atoms like this from any source. til an illustration of the con-
slant battle between the buyer and the seller that has continued
for ages and probably will always continue. Each side will pub
lsh their side OF the controversy to the world, and the loss win
be paid by the innocent neutras-the public a. large.

fallen on bad times. The stuff can be had, of course, but the

formerly. Computing the risk in handling it, the profits are much
less than formerly, and there is not the slightest doubt but there
is much less of the spirit of adventure among the consumers to
tamper with the lawless liquid. The novelty of evading the law
pilot to where the real stuff" can be obtained gets a hearing but
seldom.
The old and t~hreadbare assertion of the vets that more liquor
has been proven a lie, pure and simple, and is answered with the
query: What are you kicking about, then % Even the home
brewers have tired to a great extent of messy kitchens and vile
smells, the favorte indoor sport has lost its appeal and the para
phernalia put in cold storage along with the discarded camera,
ping pong layout and roller skates.
lnquisitive sheriffs and deputies persist in impolite inter
terence with dlstllhng operations of a private nature, an in the
have knocked a big hole in the paper profits of the base
ment- In fact, the law enforcement gang are already kicking of
the tameness of existence these days and recall when whiskey run
IN automobiles furnished an exciting chase and capture
possibly an opportunity to sample a consignment-just to be
that 1T was contraband of quality, and for the proper evidence

THE COAL MINES

1t is said that the coal miners have voted nine to one in favor
of a coal strike April 1st. At this writing there does not seem
chance of avertng a complete tieup of the coal industry. In this
connection with the miners and operators appearing as far apart
as the poles so far as an adjustment of differences is concerned,
many misconceptions exist as to what these differences actually
consist of. We read that the miners at their convention at In
dianapols went on record as demanding the continuation of the
present scale of wages, a sx-hour day, and a five day week, for
time and a half overtime, and double pay for Sundays and holidays
and for a weekly payday instead of bimonthly. In substance, the
miners want a continuation of the good times prevailing during
war times-a very natural and human desire. AS to the six
hour day, there is q very general misconception which no news
paper, to our knowledge, has taken the trouble to correct. Accord
ing to our conception of the scale adopted at the Indianapolis con-
ventIon, and as explained by one of the delegates to that conven-
ton, the six-hour day calls for six hours pay at the rate per hour
of the eight hour day. In other words, it shortens the day and
also shortens the pay. The fiveday week operates the same way.
We have heard it stated that the miners were demanding full
eight hours pay for six hours work, which is an error.
The refusal of the operators in many sections of the country
to meet with the miners has bred a feeling among the miners that
perhaps the impending ciose=down of the mines will not be so much
of a strike as it will be a lockout. This idea, which is freely ex-
plausibiity by the fact that since the first of the year the. coal
mines of the country have been unusually active and tt is said that
large amounts of coal have been stored by the big consumers
This, however. may due to the natural desire of the railroads and
other big consumers to prepare for a shutdown of the mines and
does not necessarily point to any collision between the operators
and the big consumers.
1t is understood that the operators of this district, which in
cludes Montana and the Dakotas, have made overtures toward
overtrues were apparently unavaiing as the miners were bound to
the policy of the Indianapolis convention and had nothing to dis
or no power to enter into a separate agreement.
During the war the union leaders saw the miners receiving
the highest wages in the history of the industry. They also saw
an Unsuitable demand for coal which attracted a new influx of
workers in the industry. In our own local field, a~ble-bodied men
from the farms, the factories, the quartz mines and even skilled
of other trades, went into the mines and dug coal.
Seven, eight and nine dollars a day looked good, and the initiation
fee to the miners union was cheerfuIty paid and the organization
now largely composed OF workers who are skilled in other trades, a
