1t is the belief of Joseph Purs-
glove. president OF the Cleveland

which has operations along SCOTS
Run. Monongalia County, that the
operators will stand firm on q
wage scale MOTTO exceed So a day.
He appears to think that the union

district are gaining ground. ac-
cording to the American. Coal
Journal, New York City.
That periodical IN part says:

to consider. this point, Mr. Purs-
glove said that while the striking
miners are demanding 81 day for
labor thousands are willing to re
turn to work for IS.
Mr.. Pursglove said he had re-
ceived advices from Morgantown,
W. Va. to the effect that miners
are swinging over to the unionists.
He said that unless the strike is
brought to a speedy end an acute
fuel shortage will soon come

AMERICAN CHEMISTS
PRAISED FOR WORK

BOSTON, July 6-The time has
come when teachers may justly
dwell upon the word American"
in chemistry instruction, C. H.
Stone. president of the English
High School, Boston, said today in
an address before the Department
of Science Instruction, National
Education Association here.
During the past ten years this
country nas shown that it has
chemists second to none; it has
shown that there is an American
chemistry" Mr.. Stone said. Men
ti0n of only a few lines of endea-
Svor, such as optical glass, dye
stuffs, war gasses, explosives, and
nitrogen fNatiou will show that
today we stand upon aLchemical
level with any of the nations. The
names of u American chemists
should be as freely used in u
class work as those of European
chemists. Let us give to America
and to American chemists the
credit which is their just due.
r when we look into the future
and realize the great part which
chemistry is destined to play in
this country, a strong feeling Of
responsibility comes over us. 10
lay the broad and deep founda-
lions of chemical knowledge on
which others may raise the super
structure. to cultivate in youth
those powers of observation and
of reasoning which lead to the
best results, to waken in them a
realizatic nf what chemistry
means country now and in
the futU the safety, comfort,
health and material -ealth of our
nation, this is the task of the high
school chemistry teacher"

8s@EIO&those who have been insisting that the gov

note the attitude of the railroad strikers in the

The railroad employees, on the average are a
higher@type of workmen than that found in the
ranks of the coal miners. There is not SO large a

NOE RULE FINISHED.

T-HE topmost idea now circulating through the
public mind is that there has been consid-
erably more than a plenty of mob law Threaten
ing situations now find the officers of the law be-
ing Overwhelmed with volunteered assistance II
need arises, and action of the court that gives
drastic punishment to proven mob leaders is APP
proved with emphasis by the people.
Judge Southern gave four men four years in
the penitentiary last week for assaulting a man
on his way to work in q non union mine, and the
sentiment throughout. the community was. one Of
complete approval of the judges decision. The
people are in hearty accord with the judge when
he states that "the government of the United
States is the best government on earth and that
mob rule will not be countenanced in this country
In the beginning of the coal strike public opin-i
ion was in the balance If anything, the miners
had the advantage, for the public was impatient
with the group of operators who would not even
confer with the men about a, wage scale, and there
was pretty general belief that collective bargain
ing and mutual understanding had kept the coal
business on a sound basis for nearly a quarter of
a century, and that this was pretty good proof
that it was the best way to keep coal mining con-
dftions steady and market conditions reliable. The
United Mine Workers had this public sentiment
back of them and the people were dis
posed to be patient. There has been a great
change in public feeling within the past two
weeks. The Herrin outburst simply Mortified the
nation, coming as it did on the heels of a condition
that had been. featured by nu!Aerous smaller in
cidents, which the public had smoothed out of its
mind hoping that each occurrence would be the
last.
The public feels that in a measure it is Co blame
for the Herrin tragedy because opinion was not
expressed forcibly enough to make such an oc-
currence impossible. There are to be no more
mistakes of this kind however, and any attack on
men who are at work in the mines, peaceably
and honestly making a living in this, a free coun-
try, will certainly bring forth stiff punishment
promptly administered.
There is no organi= body IN America, nor is
there enough wealth or pull on the part of any in
div:dual' or group of Individuals, to stand against
the expressed will of the public. Whenever any
faction or any individual looms up in the role Of
oppressor or intimidator, and the public is suf-
fciently convinced that The accusation is true,
things Immediately begin to get mighty uncomfor
table for the offender.
