There is a reason for this and a- long with our readers. we would welcome some light on the subject. ® oo 0 NEW HIGH carnings of the soft coal miners reached $86.99. a new all-time high, according to figures just released by tke U. S. Bureau of Labor Statis- the average weekly wage in 1946, the first postwar year, and 264.3 percent higher than the 1939 level. advanced only 35.6 percent since 1946 and 99.2 percent since 1939. The union claims all the credit | for such gains as these. But, with- out arguing the pros and cons of that point. it is evident that only | a vital, progressive industry could, pay wages of this magnitude. They could not be paid if the coal were! still—as many people think—a pick-and-shovel business. Actually. the techniques of coal mining have “been almost totally revolutionized in a comparatively brief of time. The industry has spent buge sums of morjey on equipment which has mechanized mining processes all the way from | erroneously | digging into the seams to cleaning and sorting the different grades and types of the fuel. The miner is a skilled craftsman and the niachine is his servant, One result of all this is found in| the hizh wages and other benefits. Still another is found in steadily improving safety record— a recerd which has been praised in the highest terms by the U. S. Bur- of Mines and other auathorita, tive agencies. The coal industry has | gone ahead — and the miner gone ahead with it. ® ® 0 A DECENT WAGE When you make a purchase in a retail store, you know that some of your money goes to buy the goods | the store sells, some of it goes for wages, taxes, and other overhead eosts, and some of it represents the | storé’s- profit. But the chances are you don’t know how small thle lat- ter item is. A ‘survey was recently published | dealing with the 1951 financial ‘ex- | perience of the nation’s larger de- | partnient stores. These stores earn- ed a net profit, after taxes, of 24% of sales. This was 1.4 per cent he-! low last year, and represented the | lowest return since 1939. I In other words, the stores were] able to keep, after all the bills were paid, only a little more than 2 cents | out of each dollar that went thru | coal’s cau has ESTABLISHED JUNE, 1601 & Subscription, per year .. $2.00 Si $1.00 Three Months ............ 60 | Bingle CODIQS. «coon 05 Bample Copies .........
