COAL STRIKE FACTS-On the threshold of a

OF us who not directly involved to get certain
essential facts straight:

refused to meet the representatives of the workers.
although they signed an agreement to do So The
government was party to that agreement-n
tact was responsible Tor it-but instead of insist
ing on its observance the administration, through
Attorney General Daugherty, is giving out state
ments calculated to convince the public that the
coal miners are a lawess set who will DESTROY life
and property unless restrained by the strong arm
OF Federal authority
- The miners are fighting for Living wage
Congressman Bland of Indiana inserted in the
congressional Record statement showing the
average earnings OF miners in the principal coal

ceived an average of $762 in 1921 In Ohio $3.50,
and IN West Virginia $500. How can men live and
rear families on such beggarly incomes?

impoverished condition of the industry. WHILE
