The Operators' Side
To tht Editor 0 the Evening Public Ledger!
Sir Tho mining of bituminous coal
being a question of mich vital impor
tance, particularly at this time, when
virtually all of tho supply is cut off
because of the minors' utriUo for Increase
In wages, may I have the privilege of
relating a few facts in the columns of
J6ur progressive paper?
Like many others, I have been greatly
Interested in the articles written by your
Mr. McCain, who has presented the con
dition o'f the miners in localities ho
visited so clearly and correctly. While
the work of a miner may be hazardous
lind uninviting in some cases, tho ma
jority is quite the reverse. Tor ex
ample, a mine which is operated ac
cording to the state industrial commis
sion, must obey rules and regulations
regarding the safety and comfort of the
employes. The mines' arc regularly in
spected by state officials who are ex
pert mining men and any deficiency In
requirements is immcdintclv reported to
tho authorities und regulations urc en
forced nt once, under penalty. The
health, us well as safety, of the miner
Is, therefore, guarded while he is at
work. On coming out of the mine, he
has a sanitary bathhouse, supplied with
hot and cold shower, lavatory and drying-room,
heated by steam, at his dis
posal, and where his working clothes.
If wet, are dried, ready for next day.
lie Is then hauled to his home, bnc
half or two miles distant in n motor
vehicle, without charge, and culled for
in iiKe manner tne following morning.
A miner dislikes outside work as the
temperature in a mine remains vlrtunllv
uniform, winter and summer, about 70
degrees.
Under these conditions it is unfor
tunate that miners who are happy nnd
contented, well paid at present scale
and comfortably housed in their own
homes largely, cannot resume work
without sacrificing their membership in
the union.
As to the wages which an indus
trious miner, inexperienced, can earn,
let mc illustrate. A tanner's son, just
past sixteen years of age, was given
a room from which to load coal, on Oc
tober 10. lie worked ninety eight
hours in fourteen dajs, an average of
eeven hours daily, and his pay envelope.
October 31, contained over M. An old
miner, 'working the. same hours, re
ceived $134. These are not exceptional.
It all depends on the man. This applies
to what is familiarly called the miner,
but who.. In reality, is a loader. hU
work being to break up and load the
coal iu mine run form, Into mine cars
placed beside him after the coal lias,
been undercut by electrical machines,
thus doing away with the old method of
picking. The car, when loaded, is im
mediately removed by locomotive or
other motive power, and an empty car
substituted without work or effort on
the part of the! loader. All other work
men "in and about the mine" receive
n minimum of !"," per day for eigiit
hours' work. This includes ouUWe
workmen as well.
It is" extremely unfortunate that the
miners themselves caunot decide upon
the compromise offer by individual vote,
but, more is the pity, a large percen
tage of them are represented by an in
terpreter who is frequently a union of
ficial also. Thus is the sanitary and
well-regulated mine penalized. If, by
some government nuthority,' an Individ
esuo.1 vote could be taken on the
question of resuming work, with
out disrupting the union, the prob
lem would doubtless be solved The
much discussed and alleged profiteering
of the operators is without warrant or
reason. As is well known, the with
drawal of price restrictions of conl at
the mine and the lifting of rone, limits
'took place February 1 of this jeor.
At that time ruu-of-mlne coal com
manded an allowed price of $2.00 f. o, b.
mine. In n few days the railroad ad
ministration asked for bids 011 their
requirements, first canceling all out
standing contracts. The first bids re
ceived were considered too high, not
withstanding they were below the gov
ernment price on Fobrunry 1, and new
bids were taken on requirements to
April 1, 1020, nnd somewhere as low
as $1.60 and up to $2.10 per ton nt
'mine. These prices wen- ruinous to the
contracting operators, but what were
they to do? Their mines could not stand
Idle except at severe loss. Industrial
concerns wore watching the result and
business activity being as jet nt low
ebb, they would not place their order
or enter into contract for requirements
at any higher price than the government
was paying until actually compelled to.
Operators who had installed additional
machinery to increase their output nt
tho government's appeal for more ton
nage, did so at enormous cost, ns au
advance from 30 to 100 per cent was
added to all equipment nud almost im
possible to get even at that. Was
this patriotic?
The prevailing price on mlno.run coal
of first quality nt time of the present
Btrike was $2.20 to $2.40 net ton at
mine- Docs this, look llko profiteering?
There are coal mining companies by
the hundreds in the bituminous districts
which have not inado a dollar net profit
since the war began nor tan they un
less they apply an advanced price, set
by the government whieh will, at least,
absorb whatever increase mny bo granted
the miners by the operutors iu the pres-
ent struggle. ACCOUNTANT.
I'hiladelpbia, November 24,
Execution of General Angeles
To the Editor 0 the Evening futile I.idgcr:
Angeles died as he lived, by God!
A rebel to tho fast!
lie smiled in scorn on the firing squad.
(Spectators stood aghast.)
No whining plea for mercy came
From great Carranza'B foe,
lie went to death on tho peak of -fame;
IN or did tie eiilrK to go.
They trapped the warrior in a cave
And overwhelmed hint there,
rut him in jail like a petty knave
Man of the opeu air.
The men who sold Carranra's prey
Ileceived Carrnnza gold;
Ifor cash, they bartered his life away,
As Judas did of old, j
They could not sell his rebel soul ;
Nor could they d(m his pride;
fVJthput j' tremor, he heard the roll
Of musketry, and died.

I Heports received here todny from all
sections showed tho country on the crgc
of n fuel famine, with stocks so low in
some communities that grent suffering
was feared unless coal production is
quickly put buck to normal. For two
weeks, during which the wage confer
ence was in session here, the public had
nssumed the dispute would be settled
nnd tho nrmy of strikers resume work,
and fnlluro of the negotiations has
turned what was little more than indif
ferences into Uecu anxiety.
Iteports from the various coal -producing
centers are that production was
slowly but surely taking an upward
curve, until today it stands close to (50
per cent of normal, if anthracite Is in

"The Pittsburgh t'onl Co. is willing nnd
lendy to co-opernto with the govern
ment in its plan to increase the pio
iliietlon of conl nnd our mines are opeu
nnd ready for operation as fooii ns the
men want to go back to woik," tald
W. K. Fields, president of the com
pany, when luformed of the govern
ments intention to seize mines which
fail to speed up production.
"Our mines arc in good shnpc nnd
we can resume operations in short or
der," added Mr. Fields, whose com
pany is the most important producer of
bituminous coal in I'ennsylynniii.
The announcement from nslilugton

MINES MAY OPERATE
Bituminous operators in Peniis.lvnnin
nnd in nearby states nre likelv to grant

government for the miners, according to
operators In this tity. .

Washington that the government would
seize nil mines where the opetntors re
fused to grant the increase nnd refused
to co-operate with the Washington au
thorities iu relievin' the fuel situation
Mine operators in western IVnnsl
vanln, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois prob
nblv will concede the. Sucre use. it was
said, without adding to the selling price
of coal. The 'government's decision
stipulated that no increase in selling
price follow the wage boost.
It is in the soft-coal fields of Ind
iana, Kansas and Oklahoma, it was-explained,
that the operators may find
,it impossible to grant higher wages to
the men.
The view was expressed thnt the
operators are entirely willing to co
operate with Dr. Harrv A. Garfield. Tt
was believed that Doctor Gnrtield's
decision, calling for n 14 per tent in
crease, was based on n careful study of
the facts nud figuies in the situation
and thnt his decision was fair to the
miner.s nnd opcrntors.

Blow at Charter
in Transit Hold-Up
Continued rroni Tub One.
.Mr. Gruenberg had said it was foolish
to insist that proper warrants could not
be paid when millions In city funds lay
Idle in the banks. In this connection,
the controller's uttention wus directed
to section six of article seventeen of the
new charier, which provides for "tem
porary advances."
Says, Sect Inn Could Not Ho INed
"Yes," admitted the city controller.
"1 know about that section. We tried
to get around the situation by usiug it,
but could not "
"Mr. Gruenberg says," it was sug
gested to Mr. Wnltou, "that ou could
have asked the contractor to wait a
few weeks for his money. Isn't thnt
done every day, ns he says, around
City Hall?"
"Oh, jes," replied the controller,
"but that would be asking the contrac
tor to wait too long until after the
first of the year "
Controller Witlton then said thnt
as n substitute for n warrant for city
runils tin contractor was given an or-
plained the controller, can be taken
by the contractor to n bank nnd used
as collateral, lie added that he acted
throughout on the advice of City
Solicitor Connelly,
The controller was asked why nn
issue was made, for the first time iu
years, over ho'noilng n proper war
rant, nnd also If it were true, ns
charged by Mr Gruenberg, that it had
been .raised for the purpose of dis
crediting the charter.
"I don't pay any attention to Mr.
Gruenberg," replied the controller. "1
suppose lie knows it nil."
"Mr. Gruenberg snjs you seized this
opportunity to renew the attack on
the charter," the controller wns told.
"I am opposed to the charter? First
I knew of it. I don't pay nny atten
tion to the bureau. I have my own
talent in my office."
CHARGES THE MAYOR
"PASSED THE BUCK"
Mayor Smith deliberately "passed
tho buck" in the matter of preparing
the budget for 1020 nud made n mere
perfunctory compliance with the outer
shell of the new cltj charter's require.
meut.
This charge is made in "Citizens'
Business," u statement just issued by
the Bureau of Municipal Itcscnrch. In
taking such action on the budget, the
statement rends, Major Smith missed
un opportunity such us accorded no pre
vious Major to rehabilitate his admin
istration in tlic public fo.
"It is unfortuunto that this oppor
tuuity was not more fully utilized," it
sn.vs.
The Major's refusal to nmke recom
mendations as to salary increases, cou
trary to the requitement-s of the char
ter, nnd the "passing of the buck" to
Councils mo attacked ns n subterfuge
"As a mntter of fact he actually left
the" existing bonuses of approximatelv
StlOO 000 a year out of his budget, thus
'Citizens'
compensation," according to
business."
An increase of twenty-fivo'ecnts or
more in the city tax into Is inevitable,
the statement says. It goes on to show
that the need of money to puy salary

Lumber or "Sky-Bolts."
"The contractor on that bridge job wants
some 18x18 timbers up to thirty feet long,"
aid the Junior Partner; "he asks us to send
them right over, just as if it was a dozen joists
or a load of flooring."
"Tell him to use sky-bolts till we can get
those big timbers here," said the Old Man, sar
castically; "the architects tell me they always
use sky-bolts when there is no other way to
support some little thing like a steeple or a
chimney. An experienced contractor ought to
know that a lumber-yard can't keep such tim
bers as that in stock."
"But we do have them in slock," said the
Junior Partner. "We have them down at the
wharf, and they are being loaded now,"
"Is that so?" said the Old Man; "well, you
