the miners of America, Representa-
tive John P. Casey, of Pennsylvania,
the son of miner, reused the house
with an inspiring defense of the mine
workers and smashing attack on
their detractors.
High lights in Representative
Casey's address was his vivid descrip-
tion of the horrible conditions which
obtained before the passage of the
mine certificate law, his refutation
of the charge that the miners are
responsible for the high price of coal
and his strong denial of the slander
that the miners are a lawless lot, out
of sympathy with the institutions of
their country.
Hurting back at Treadway his
charge that the miners are inspired
by spirit of greed, Mr.. Casey de-
clared:
"The agreement between the
United Mine Workers of America and
the anthracite operators prior to the
last settlement provides that the min
imum wage shall be $4.20 day for
eight hours, and the maximum $5.42
day for miners employed by the coal
companies by the day to do the min
ing. The anthracite mines do not
+, work over 272 days year. At $4.20,
that would amount to 81 ,142.40 a year.
Let us take the price fixed by the
operators for the miners when they
employ them by the day, at the maxi
mum figures, $5.42. For 272 days
that would mean 81 ,496 year, and
the highest figure that the operators
could produce when they were press
| ing their case was an average wage
of $1,500a year for these men who
work down in the bowels of the earth,
500, 1,0OO-yes, 1000 and 3,000-feet
from Gods sunlight; and the gentle
man from Massachusetts said that
if they asked for more than $1,100
| year to provide for their families
as American citizens should provide
for them, they have entered into a
spirit of greed with the operators,
and conspiracy to raise the cost of
coal to the American consumers"
Mining Takes Great Toll of Workers.
Lives
Asked by Representative Sherwood
of Ohio if mining is not the most
| hazardous business in the world,
more dangerous that war, Mr.. Casey
said that every day the mines are in
operation there are two and quar-
ter lives sacrificed. In the anthracite
fields alone the deaths are from five
to six hundred year. He added
"1he casualties are between $1,000
and $4,000 every year, and then we
are told by the gentleman from Mas
sachusetts that because a man asks
for more than $1,100 :year in an
occupation of this kind he is enter
ing into spirit of greed with the
operator and conspiracy against the
American people"
Il Spiking Treadway's charge that the
boards that grant miners licenses in
Pennsylvania are controlled by the
miners union, Mr.. Casey told of the

paca county for two years many
years ago, but he says that he has
forgotten almost all that he learn
ed there. He acts as a guide to
many hunting parties and learns
to know the ways of the white
men and the meanings of the
words that they use.
Mr.. Shopudok spends his time
hunting, fishing, and trapping,
and takes care of the twenty-one
ponies that he keeps in a clearing
about six miles from home. He
has blazed trail through the tall
pines from his home to the pas
ture. He buys his supplies at the
post office store in Alvin. He re
members the time when he had to
walk to Iron River every time that
he needed provisions. He has not
been in Iron River for some time,
but he attended the Indian Pow
Wow that was held in Crandon
July just as spectator.
When asked why he attended
only as a spectator and did not
join in the dancing he answered.
ME no dance, me Christian. Me
no dance, no lie, no steal, no drink
too much whiskey. God he says
no do. Not many Indians Chris

ME no go no church" he said
He here all time" and he spread
out his arms toward the fields
he said suddenly ME show"
In his cabin he has a picture OF
Jesus and one of the Madonna
These were given him by white
man whom he at one time served
as a guide. Mr.. Shopudok says
that his old father taught him
Christianity when he was a child
and he always tried to live right.
| John, is not disappointed that he
cannot vote. Politics do not seem
L to interest him much. He feels
that the government is doing the
right thing by not asking him to
pay taxes. The land is his he says
1t was all his primarily and the
white man came and cheated him
out of it.
Shopudok is a tall, well built
Indian. He is getting gray but he
says that his eyes are as keen as
they ever were. He Is a good
marksman and now uses shot
gun or a rife in place of bow
and arrow. Once in a while he
still uses the bow and arrow and
he says that it was not so long

ago that he used only this type
of weapon. John spends a great
portion Of his time in the woods,
but he never gets lost. He never
uses a compass.
ME use this" he said and point
ed to his head. ME always find
home. Me go far in woods, but
me always find home. Sun he tells
me time"
Mr.. Shopudok was married
about twenty years ago, and he
had two children. Both his squaw
and the children died before he
came up here. He has no idea
how old he is. He said
Indian he say tomorrow, tomor-
row, tomorrow. He no like count
age. Years he go Indian he no
count.
He feels that he still has many
years to live. He said goodbye re-
luctantly and cordially invited us
to visit him again.-W abeno Adj
