must receive a living wage based up
on standardized cost of living, SO
that they will be able to work eff
ciently. 1t means that having stan
dardized the cost of living this must
be taken as the first irreducible item
in figuring the overhead costs; for
without labor the coal would remain
in the ground, and if we fail to pay
labor a wage sufficient to meet its
daily requirements we impair its eff
cheney, invite friction, and lay the
foundations for the inevitable strike
The coal operators, however, like
the Railroad Executives, instead of
putting the human element first,
bring this in as the last item in their
schedule of costs. Whatever is left
after their other overhead charges
are paid is allocated to wages. If
the balance is insufficient their pay
roll is reduced. In other words, their
payroll is based on what remains of
their income after other expenses are
considered, instead of being based
upon proper estimate of the cost of
living and recognition of the fact
that this is the one item which can
not be reduced.
The purpose of this article is sim
ply to call attention to these facts
preliminary to my description of the
present living conditions and some
constructive suggestions both in re-
gard to this and the wage scale, which
will appear in my next article.

ISN'T 1T THE TRUTH
(From The Oil World)

(From The Oil World)
These proven fields now spouting oil
We're wildcats once, just common soil
Until man who had the nerve
And from his purpose would not
swerve
For all the knockers in the land
Until his drill had found the sand,
That put the works upon the square
And made the man millionaire.
The. same chance stands today
TO make the liquid gold sands pay
If you've the nerve to take flier.
To boost your bank account up higher,
Oil stocks will sure your pockets fill
If you will help to push the drill.
Faint heart ne'er won maiden fair
Nor cold feet made millionaire.

AUSTRIAN ARMIES
BREEDING TROUBLE
Unofficial Forces Reported
Most Vexing
ARMED TO TEETH
Dangers Are Seen In Maintain
ing The Two Factions
For Protection.

Vienna, DecemD Der I-[Correspon
dence of The Associated Press]--
Besides its little standing army of
about $4,000 men and its state-gen
daImerie Austria has two other arm
Ell and organized forces, both irreg-
ular and both probably Without the
pale OF the treaty. In the opinion
oil many observers here the TWO last
mentioned organizations may lead
to trouble. Tney are the admittedly
we'll armed labor battalions, and the
growing "heiTnwehr" or conservative
armed I. organizations or the prov
inces. ..
The later are composed largely
of the peasants and lesser probes
Sionai classes and ex officers, and
are particularly strong in Syria and
the Tyrol. just now and where they
got arms. ammunition and equip
ment is not known. The Allied MI
itary Control Commission was sup
posed to have stripped the country
of military material, but the fact re-
mains that both these organizations
are fully equipped and number many
thousands. Recently the police found

ters not only guns and loaded clubs
but hand grenades and poison gases.
Dangers of These Factions
Incidents in Syria, recently showed
the danger of these factions. In
one case strikers captured and dis
disturbances, whereupon the COVER,
nor of the province ordered out the
local attachments of the army The
army is preponderantly socialist and
sympathetic with the workers, but
the soldiers obeyed orders, subdued
the trouble makers, and released the
policemen. The explanation is
found in the fact that the governor
had, at the. same time, assembled
1000 of his "heimwehr' and put
them behind the soldiery to see they
did what they were told to do.
The two forces narrowly avoided
a serious clash recently in Juden-
burg, Syria, and this incident
showed even more clearly the latent
danger that lies in this condition OF
affairs. Worknien from some fac
tories entered the homes of "heim- :,
their arms. They were arrested in
turn, and, when a first demand for
their release was refused, nearly
1000 workmen, militarily armed and
organized. assembled and marched
on the town. Gendarmes were mo-
bilized, reinforced by students from
the two state universities there, and
for two days the two forces faced
each other over little bridge. Then
the government ordered the release
OF the arrested workmen, and fur
Their trouble was avoided
