w. VA. RED CROSS AIDS
~ OPEN SHOP DRIVE

Cleveland. = Following the person.
al appeal by committe of West Vir-
ginia miners to chiefs Of the Railroad
Brotherhoods in Cleveland, w S Stone,
grand chief Of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, has sent out a cir
cular to the local divisions Of the or
ganization, asking individual contrib
utions from the engineers to aid the
miners relief committee that is now
endeavoring to save $4,000 destitute
miners families from perishing for the
lack of food. The miners Of West Viz
ginia themselves contribute $4,000 a
week, but the 60 cents per family thus
raised is wholly inadequate to buy ev-
en- beans and cornmeal for the starving
miners and their children.
According to evidence furnished by
the miners, the Red Cross in West Viz
ginia is dominated by the mine owners
and has done very little to relieve the
situation beyond offering relief TO min
ers who will sign non-union contracts.

PREDICTIONS that the public would
have to pay for actual and mag
mary losses due to the coal strike are
already being fulfilled. The operators
and dealers, many of whom must be
classed among the constituencies prof
iteers, are raising prices of fuel, de
spite the efforts of public officials, the
threats of congressional action and the
protests Of the miners that the mine
owners have suffered little, if any, loss
because of the stoppage of production.
In some sections of the country the
fuel shortage already is becoming
acute; In others there is plenty of
coal. The railroads, it is asserted, are
not able to supply enough cars, but
that is always the case as winter ap-
proaches, which is one of the results
of the wretched lack of organization
of the coal industry.
The coal famine is especially threat
ening in New York and the Atlantic
coast region generally, because the an
thracite strike has not yet been set
tied But at this writing there is a
fair chance that the hard coal miners
will soon be back at work. Senators
Pepper and Reed of Pennsylvania drew
up proposals for resumption of work,
and the plan was submitted to the OPP
orators and the miners scale commit
tee at separate meetings.

The comma within itself is very
humble mark of punctuation, but has
a world of meaning when properly

NEW WORKERS BURN WOOD
Builders Besieged by Householoers
Asking For Old Lumber.

Householders in all parts OF New
York, according to the observations
of policemen, are collecting great
deal of firewood this fall, says the
New York Times. This is taken to in
dicate that many of them are antlcl-
pating a coal shortage during the
coming winter.
In BACKYARD sections everywhere IL
is a common sight to see the male
members of the family busily en-
gaged in splitting boards and lumber
into kindling wood. This firewood,
as a householder expressed it, is not
intended to supplant coal, but to help
save it.
"At this time last year, builder
said "I used to give wood away oc-
casionally when I was tearing down
or repairing old buildings. I used to
hang out sign reading, Wood given
away free for the asking. My ouly
stipulation was that persons applying
for it should cart it away themselves,
It may surprise you when tell you
that wood often went begging. 1t IS
quite different this year. I do not have
to hang out sign; every day am be-
sieged by men, women and children
soliciting old lumber for hreWood'
There are so many Of these applicants
that I have to turn most of them
away.
"I am sure that this demand for
firewood means that much more wood
is going to be burned in the fires this
winter than in the past
