TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH IS, 1929.
KEEP SWEET AND KEEP cooL.

ANIHILE It Is a fact greatly to be regretted that
Wv the wage scale conferences held Saturday in
Baltimoresbetween representatives OF the mine
operators and the union miners Of Northern West
Virginia, failed to bring about any betterment Of
condition., yet reports of the meeting make 1T very
clear that the union representatives were ready
and anxious to negotiate with the operators, and
were only restrained from proceeding toward some
sgteeraent by emphatic orders from their s~uperlors
In the United Mine Workers organization.
II the union workers and the operators of North
ern West Virginia had been permitted to act as
theys desired the first steps toward an understand
ing would Undoubtedly have been reached in the
Baltimore meeting and there would have been a
general eheerfulness throughout this territory.
Matters were arbitrarily taken out Of the hands
of Keeney and so any further negotiations we're
useless.
The5 baltimore meeting was, however, not alto
gether fruitless in that 1t showed so plainly that
both miner and operators of Northern West Nir-
einla are ready 10 meet each other half way and
that there is no break nor open antagonism at pres.
emit In this field.
There seems but little hope Of preventing a gen
etals strike. Only a miracle could save the sltua-
ton now, and there is going to be a rough time
ahead for all concerned. There is only one thing
which viii serve to hasten a settlement and to
greatly help all while the mines are idle, and that
is for everybody to keep sweet and to keep cool.
Let those who are reasonable and broad in their
sytnpathies keep. the hot heads quiet and suppress
street agitation and sidewalk oratory. The least
saidlis soonest mended and that proverb is one OF
utmost importance right now. Remember that the
whole thing will have 10 be settled over a con-
ference table In the end, and that abuse and lntol-
erance will only hinder and never help.

"a. cents a ton during the first elev.
en- months OF 1920. In 1917 the
total cost Of mine labor IN the Pitts.
burg district was. according to the
Federal Trade Commission, only
s1.o4 per ton, so the profits made
by this company over and above
all OF Its expenses were equal to
OF the total wages Of
the mine workers.
1t Is well to remember that this

COAL PRICES.

GOAL PRICES.
WASHINGTON, March 81
Editor, The West Virglnian.l l..
Newspapers all over the country
within the last few days published
a statement by ]. D. A. Morrow,
vice president Of the National Coal
Association, that he did not testi.
~ concerning retail prices OF coal
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Mr.. Morrow, how.
ever, did state that during the sew
en- months, April.o October, 1921, the
average cost for labor at the mines
was only $1.s7 per ton. and he sub.
stantiated this testimony with tab.
ulated statistics. The United States
Bureau OF Labor Statistics, which
collects and publishes the Govern.
ment information on prices and the
cost Of living, states in its Monthly
Review for January, 1922, that the
average retail price OF bituminous
coal throughout the United States
was in October, 1921, between S10.4O
and 510.41 per ton. so that the tact
that the retail price amounted 10
over five times the labor cost is. a
fact, whether 1t comes from Mr..
Morrow or from the Government
Bureau.
1t should also be pointed out
that this average price OF $1o.41
for October. 1921, Is considerably
below the prices that have prevailed
for some time. For instance, the
retail price. according to this gov.
eminent bureau, was In October,
1920. $3.50 per ton, and at this
time the cost Of labor at the mines
was no more land probably a 1T.

It was a simple little express tag
on the back OF which was written:

1t is a relic saved from the old
days when one could go into wet
territory and bring back any rea.
sonable quantity OF liquor by hav-
ing a label on ones suitcase as to
the spirituous contents OF the

us that the tag was used the last
