How many people realize what
the coal strike meant, or to what
extent this is a civilization for
those that have?
The coal miners increased their
wages by 30 cents a ton. To cut
off that 50 cents, or part Of it,
every effort was made. There
were lockouts, trials for treason,
injunctions, bloody strikes. one

All on account Of FIFTY
CENTS PER TON in the labor

while labor increased its charge
fifty cents, the owners of coal
lying in the ground increased
their price SIX DOLLARS a ton.
No fuss 10 made about THAT.
No injunctions against mine

no strike by the public.
That is the difference between
labor and capital. And the diff
ference exists because capital is
