Th regional coal (commlttee has definitely ruled
against the request to exempt Ashevllle from th

On my wonder, in a academic way, wliy'the
regional Oommittee Is opposed to wood .chopping.
It la recommndd as an ideal exercise, and was
in good rput through th example of Gladstone
and Roosevelt before William Hohensollern took It
up as an antidote to Inaction and unrest Incident
to exile. : Woodyard did notable part in winning
the war. It 1 hard to aee why they might not now
help av th people from the consequence of In
dustrtal conflict. ,
anywhere that either the operator or miner has
been considered human by th publlo in general.
The miner, of course, is as a rule considered
ignorant by people who do not know nor who can
not see farther than the end of their nose. The
people who look on them In this manner should
go to the coal field and apend a few days, and if
tney want to get one square meal, go there Sat
urday or Sunday. The miner I a man who live
wnll he doe live, and a a rule 1 too busy to
talk about' th man who I always talking about
him. ' :vr- ',-
Price paid for coal at the mine and th price
paia to a dealer is one or tne most
puzzles I find to solve in Ashevllle. For
we will take the Pineville, . Kentucky, district.
The government price for coal now at the mines Is
for prepared size in black coal, $!.1S per Son of
z.vuu pounos. td . rreigut rat on mi coal, to
Ashevllle is S2.20 per ton, making a gross price to
me aeaier at tne station in Ashevwe or is.is per
ton. The price in the Jelllco district is tbe same
except a zee cheaper freight rate.
If you- phone your dealer this morning for nrlcea
on coat ne win say fio.qu tor nest coal, no may
not have either of the above coak but he cannot
snow a better coal than these.
Now the miner is out on strike. 1 The operator
is using nis energy to in some way find a settle
ment. The operator ha offered a 14 per cent -In
crease; they cannot pay more on preaent govern
ment prices. There i only a djfTerenoe of. about
14 per cent- which could easily .be charged to tbe
dealer and still let him sell hi coal at 'present
prices and make big money. .The dealer must be
clearing i2.iv or 13.00 on every ton sold her In

WJjJitever decision may be reached In the coal
wage controversy, th only test by which Its merit
can ba tried is tb production of coaL There I no
known method of compelling somex hundreds of
thousands of men to work against their wills. And
it is not endurable that the country should go with
out an article of unversal necessity because lest
than one-half of 1 per cent of the population cal
culate the average rage payment differently from
the oiriclala JChu coal wage should ba sufficient to
attract the unionists to the work, or to attract other
women in derauit or union labor. Suoh a mode of
settlement averts compulsion of mine labor, or
domination by mine labor, and would have th least
sense of grievance anywhere. Unionists could not
fairly complain If the country supplied Itself with
coal at wages satisfactory to the workers. That is
tne manner in which the railway strike was settled
In England,- Volunteer appeared and demonstrat
ed that the railway men were not indispensable to
tne worxing ot tne roads. The beginning of such
demonstration ha been made In Kansas, where
tne miner refused to assist the governor in produc
ing coal,, and he has asked for volunteer to relieve
distress. In some places work has been resumed
upon the basis of the general wave decision vhm
reached. Director General Hlnes renorts that the
production ot coal in successive weeka of the utHVa
has been fO, 00, and 40 per cent. - A few weeks
more like that, and the coal strike would fade away
like the steel strike, and the strikers would ha un.
able to find fault with any one except their leaden.
xne miners ar so little distressed that they do
not worn iuu time wnen worx i offered. ' In that
they resemble other wage earners, who are o well

Yet it ia known that wage earners never before had

that a (10,000.000 building oueration was ahanilnn.

the agitator who thrive' on unrest, and whose

are so high that they cease to stimulate production,
it would seem that Jabor itself ha shown that it Is1
