The coal miners have been pledged i:,e support of tho four big railroad 1 fXherhoodB should their a'ttmpt to ,r:k be carried ou'. and the goernKicnt attempt to work the mines, it be- . - known today, although Mr. Lee t.-.-ciined to make a definite statemeni as to the action.

One thing I will say., however, that tha um crnnif-nt cannot j forc the miners to dig .eal or men tot ! :c.v trains, not v.li all the soldiers, in the world. , ' If it can, then men are in a condition , of involuntary servitude. It .would mean . hat no man could quit his job if his! mpl.yer were powerful enough to s- 1 ure government intervention. We, pbolished black slavery in this country! some years ego. j I.IVINO IK X919. I 'Ciilized countries abolished white! slavery centuries ago. We should bear' irt mind that we arc living in the year s :il3 and in what, we arc proud to call J the greatest democracy on earth. The ; irliTs did well th'ir part In the late war in keeping democracy safe and they now merit words of praise instead of tureats. "The threat to have soldiers work the j mines is foolish just as foolish as if ; 'he government threatened to have soldiers operate the trains. It requires killed men to do either and there are luvs which prohibit tho unskilled from vv '"1 r ng in mines or on the railroads."
