other. -
The New Deal discouraging of
free enterprise through high
and multiple taxes is bound to re-
act on coal mining either direct
ly or invisibly as far as the .ner
who dig the coal are concerned.
The embargo on fuel shipments
to beligerents and the trade
pacts have done some damage
to GOALS markets and will do a
lot more. The oil burner business
along with the competition of
government produced power will
in no way assist coal in getting
settled on basis where what
mines survive can work all the
time. A most desirable condi-
ton which is well within bounds
of possibility. Elimination of
some mines would bring a
howl. The only other recourse in

wear around work is to increase
demand for coal and to multiply
its use and uses.

COAL AND MINING

the coal. AT first thought the

Two great groups of men are

two groups are the operators, or

without the others labor.
The miner prospers when the
mines run steady" and when
he gets but two or three days
work each week he just about
breaks even. Of course he feels
something is wrong somewhere.
When the mines run but a part
of the time the operator does
not make money. Contrary to
the general belief among the
small group of dissatisfied and
radical minded, coal operators
do not all the time roll in wealth.
nor do they get an undeservediy

Before voting on the third term

However, the chair ruled the con-

estimate modest Mr.. Etling reported
he is averaging better than 16

In the three-year period starting
