 In time these Polish miners became bit Americanized and they wanted more money. So the companies inn ported -Lithuanians who could not talk with the Polish. And so 1t has gone for more than 50 years
 There are HOO deaths in the coal industry each year, 500 men are crip- pied and permanently disabled and 4o,ooo receive injuries of more or less seriousness. If you think these peo- pie are going to take all the risk in order to get cheaper coal, while you are blind to the real causes for high CT prices, you are wrong. They will do it no longer. I should think that you New Englanders would make move toward providing your own fuel. If you harnessed your rivers and used the tide-waters to make electric power for heat, you would soon have the coal operators behav- ing differently. Why use one-tenth of the coal mined to ship it to the consumers? Why not make power at the mine and transport 1t ready to be used? America is nation of con- hscators. Enough gas is wasted by coke ovens over one square mile of Pennsylvania in 24 hours to provide gas enough to last the city of Meri- den for six months. We need to learn economy.

 Old wooden buildings, long known obe unsafe, take another toll of lives Fifteen persons die in a fire which destroys a dormitory at a state hospital for the insane, at Dun ming, III.
 Such perils exist all over the na- ton. New York state recently voted for big bond issue to improve and rebuild many of it's state institutions. It IS high time other states followed suit. Enlightened public opinion says that neither the nation nor the state has the right to expose is wards to the risk of horrible death by fire.
 Among the fool cartoons which often disgrace our newspapers the worst is the cartoon which depicts building trades workers as second only to John D.. Rockefeller in point of wealth. They are shown by the alleged comic artists as living in mar ble mansions, bothing in solid gold bathtubs and dining with buffers at their elbows.
 One of the worst efforts in this line was recently sent out to hund- reds of newspapers by the Press Publishing Company of New York, which publishes the New York World. The cartoon showed the young son of plasterer awakening Christmas morning to find the family butler standing at his bedside, wishing him a Merry Christmas on behalf of the family and outlining the days sched- | 1le, which began with breakfast in | ,ed!
 Such cartoons seem deliberately de- signed to make the public believe hat members of the organized build ng trades lead the life of the idle 'ich. They present totally mendac- ous and entirely misleading picture, which organized labor should be quick 0 resent Workers in the building rades are not getting rich, as they themselves know only too well Whenever a fool cartoon or comic" uch as the one just mentioned, ap- ,ears, the editor of the offending pa ger should be told just what union nen think of the picture.

When your miner goes to get his pay he Is given card bearing three columns of figures. One Is the list of his ex- penditures at the company store; one is the list of expenditures for pow der, dynamite, carbide, etc., used by him in his work; and one is the list of his earnings. Invariably the first two are totalled up to more than his pay but he is told that he will receive a dollar in legal tender if he signs the card. Naturally needing money he consents and as this continues he is soon so deeply in debt that he is vlrtaully prisoner, as he finds to his sorrow if he ever attempts to leave the mine This is true of mining fields in West Virginia and Kentucky and throughout the southwest.
 When the Italians working the mines had become Americanized and accustomed to a higher standard of living, they wanted more money. So

Cut Yourself a Piece of Cake

Two centuries ago, Benja- min Franklin gave some good advice to the poor on how to become rich. Now the Satur- day Evening Post, founded by him endorses Mellon's tax re- vision plan which shows the poor" rich how to become richer.
 In an editorial entitled, Cut Yourself Piece of Cake" the Post defends Andy Mellon's tax revision scheme to greatly re- duce the taxes of the very rich and slightly reduce the tax on very small tax payers. It shifts the burden of the taxes on the smaller fellow and relieves the big fellow. It does just what Wall Street has wanted for some time and the credu1ous public believe most of the bunk that Is written in favor of the plan by the propaganda organs of big business.
 Eighty per cent. of the people are not affected directly by the proposed Mellon tax reduction while the 20 per cent. who pay and justly so-the tax on the larger incomes will be greatly relieved.
 The burden will be shifted in directly to the House of Want by the kept politicians of the House of Have.
 About the time that Andy Mellon gets his tax reduction across, Congress will pass the Bonus to obtain the soldiers vote and Senator Shoot will come forth with the Sales Tax which is a method devised by Wall Street to tax the stomachs of the poor and take the taxes off the pocketbooks of the rich.
 Let us take one typical ex- ample to show the inconsistency

 trolled by monopolies than by inde- pendent coal companies. Most of them buy monopolistic coal, by of ferlng them more than the market price. Then they add on a substan- tial profit for themselves and the price goes up about $2. These are the conditions which are really to blame for the high price of coal Don't waste any time around the re- tailer's office. He is as much to be pitied as the miner.
 "The bituminous field is organized to produce one billion tons annually but the market only calls for half that amount. Hence the profit must be doubled on the coal marketed, to pay for the over-organization. The operator gets this money and the public gets frightened when the miners demand enough money on which to live. These fields should be commercially organized and re- Then the men will have steady em- p1oyment and the terrible overhead bill which is now necessary under present conditions will be minimized At present deprecation is extremely high at mine, that is idle for two days a week has larger charges on this score than a mine working six days a week.

of Mellon's tax reduction plan. The married man (with a fam lly) who has an income of $5,ooo a year, would only save $22.75. The wealthy man with an income of $I,ooo,ooo a year would save over $25o,ooo. In other words 200 heads of famil- ies, each having an income of $5,ooo, would have a total in come of one million dollars and would only save $4,55o, while one man with a single income ia million would save $258,- 278 each year. One millionaire saves $243,728 more than two hundred people, each having $5,ooo income, but paying in all the same amount as the multi millionaire Who's the goat?
 Instead of the people cutting themselves a piece of cake the idea IS to give the rich more cake and take little more cake and take little more bread away from the workers of the nation. It is a new method of setting the rich mans table so that fewer crumbs will fall off for poor Lazarus.
 After appropriating millions to pay off the war prohteers and grafters, after guaranteeing the railroads a fixed return after the war, after protecting the organized robbers with an indefensible tariff-Mellon and his crowd now propose to de- prive the soldiers, who fought the war, a paltry bonus and re- lieve those who have gouged the government in war and peace times of just tax on their huge incomes. Where do the people get any cut of the cake? The people get a gold brick. Andy furnishes the brass and the .reactionary periodicals put on thin gold plate.
