A corn shucking contest took place Thursday last at Henry Wealing’s, south of town, in which some mighty snappy work was accomplished.

large number or mines, such a large number, in fact, we fear that the production of coal will be seriously affected. We understand that operating statistics for 1919 are not now in your possession, and we shall rely upon the government, when such statistics are properly assembled to make such adjustments in selling prices as will permit these mines to make such fair and reasonable profits as they are entitled to under the Lever law’.”

William Green, secretary of the United Mine Workers, said: “Secretary of Labor Wilson states that Qie mine workers are entitled to an Increase in wages amounting to 31.6 per cent. Mr. Garfield says 14 per cent. Obviously these two conclusions conflict with each other and, to say the least, are confusing. The mine workers know the figures of Secretary of Labor Wilson are approximately correct and the figures of Doctor Garfield are erroneous. The mine workers challenge the figures of Doctor Garfield and cannpt and will not accept them. We will accept the figures of a responsible cabinet officer. Secretary Wilson. Hits at Garfield. “Doctor Garfield, because of the responsible position which he occupies, has done a great injustice to a million miners in America. His statement and decision has served to inject Into the settlement of the miners’ W’age controversy an almost insurmountable obstacle. In that respect his action approaches the commission of a moral crime agajnst the public. “Mine workers cannot mine coal at the figures fixed by Doctor Garfield. The acceptance of his conclusion would mean untold sacrifice, suffering and deprivation on the part of the miners and their families. The problem of decent wages and a decent American standard of living, together with an adequate production of coal chnnot be solved as a college professor would work out a problem in geometry, algebra or theoretical philosophy. “The practical way to solve the present problem of coal production is to grant the miners an increase in wages sufficient to m£et the increase in the cost of living and to guarantee them an American standard of living. They will then risk their lives in the ;mines, accept all the hazards of the industry and mine a steady stream of coal suflicient to meet every requirement.”
