Uncle Harry Talks
About the Coal Strike

1 luminous coal fields are over-devel-
oped. This means that part of the
year the miners are out Of work.
This irregularly is a bad thing for
the workmen and bad thing for
the operators-and incidentally a
bad thing for the public. There are
other minor questions that enter into
the demands of the miners but these
are the main points at issue. The
strike has been on for two months
now and there have been different
conferences and meetings in an effort
to effect some kind of agreement be-
tween miners and operators. Sec
retary Hoover is taking a hand now
and fixing the price of coal at the
mines so that the public may be pro-
tected somewhat against prohteer-
ing during the period of the strike.
There has been a good deal OF in
difference up TO now among the con-
sumers because the supply Of coal
on hand at the commencement Of
the strike was sufficiently large tol
inspire confidence and then, too, there
isn't much enthusiasm on the coal
question at the beginning OF Spring. |
Now is the time. however, when most
of the householders are accustomed |
to putting in their winter supply and
interest in both the strike and its
effect on Industry and households
will begin to be a little keener"
well, let's hope the miners and
the operators and owners will be
able TO come to some agreement so
hat more serious suffering and difi-
,ulties may be averted." said Helen.
You talk like a book" exclaimed
Jimmy, ever since she won that de-
,ate on Limiting immigration" no
,ody can touch her with a ten-foot |
,ole"
There are worse things that TAX
ng like book, Jimmy. Win a de- c
ate yourself and then you will be in {
he same class as Helen" I

Uncle Harry. father asked me
the other night what I knew about
the coal strike and all l knew was
that there is a strike on. We haven't
our coal in for next winter and
have heard several people who have
-.come to the house lately discussing
at with dad. How long has the strike
been on and what is it all about any
way?"
perhaps Joe and Helen know all
about it and they don't want to hear
! anything about the coal strike" re-
piled Uncle Harry.
Il know a little about IT," an
swered Joe. but I'd like to know
some more. Helen doesn't know as
emuch about it as 1 do because l
asked her something the other day.
How long has the strike been on and
why are they striking?"
Demands of the Miners.
81, The strike was declared April
first-the termination Of the two
year agreement between the miners
eIsnd operators. Both the bituminc as
or soft coal regions and the an-hra-
cite fields are affected by the walk
out. but the demands OF the two di-
visions are not the same
The anthracite miners are asking
a twenty per cent. increase in wages |
the operators are anxious to effec; |
a twenty-one per cent. cut. In the |
bituminous ields-very much greater |
in area than the anthracite or hard /
coal regions-the miners are de-
handing a retention Of their present
1.wages and a five day week with a six
hour day"
but why in the world do they
want TO work so much. Uncle Harry?
! never heard of people demanding
longer hours or more days" said
Jimmy.
you see, Jimmy, miners are not I
paid by the week or month or the
year. They are paid by the ton or by I
the hour. When they are not working I
they are not getting wages. In the {
soft coal regions. which Includes {
nearly one-sixth of the surface Of
the United States, there is an annual
capacity OF about 75O. 900. 900 tons OF b
bituminous coal. The most that has r
ever been burned or exported Is {
55O,oo0.oOO tons so you see the hi v
