Peace and Tranquillity Now Prevails
Between Mine Owners and Employees
> __
I By JOHN P. WHITE, Fo*ra« President United Mine Worker* of America
L----—
At no time in the history of the coal mining indus
try has there been such peace and tranquillity as now
prevails between employers and employees.
There are 700,000 i en employed in and around
the coal mines of this oo ntry. If they could be kept
steadily employed the ye- around we would hear very
little complaint about coal famine. But this seems
to be a physical impossibility and we must deal with
I the situation as it presents itself.
During last winter's severe fuel shortage the
miners in many localities in this country worked on
holidays and Sundays jn order to relieve the situation. If an adequate
ear supply ran be regularly maintained in the principal coal-producing
districts of the country by the railroads, there will be no need for alarm
about shortage of fuel, because we have an abundance of coal and a great
army of the best coal miners in the world. The individual output of the
American miner is more than that of the coal miner of any other country.
We have some of the best coal deposits in the world and the physical
conditions are adapted for large production. Our mines are modern and j
well equipped and capable of producing enormous tonnage.
If the operators, the miners and the railroads co-operate, an abun
dance of coal for all needs, domestic and otherwise, will he supplied. My
knowledge of tin1 miner leads me to believe that he is willing and anxious
to enter upon team work in this matter with his employer, the govern
ment and all concerned, if given the proper opportunity; and it is only
by this method that maximum results can be obtained.
The miner has always been a man who loved his independence, and
he can he relied upon to contribute his full etfort when approach'd in
the proper spirit. In other words, lie will co-operate, but cannot be
driven. It is in this spirit of co-operation the suere-- ot the mining riilo
trx. as wi ll as of all other industries, lies. Therefore the coal opi rater
who desire- tn obtain the best results from his m, n should approach them
in this spirit and the response will he womlerltil. t "litroversies v hie'i
■n the past have been instrumental m promoting trirtion and increasin'
!;,lmr troubles, and which often resulted in strikes or lockouts, will la coni'
tmtigs of the past.

Americans Called Upon to Serve Their
Country by Saving Pennies
By C. H. CHADBOURNE
A war savings campaign has been organized on a wide scale. The !
attention of every American of any age is called to the privilege, the duty,
the necessity of serving themselves and the country by saving the pennies '
us we must, save crumbs—enough pennies equal a valuable War Savings
stamp or a Liberty bond, as enough crumbs equal in food value a loaf of
bread.
We buy too freely; we eat too much; we serve too large portions; we
indulge our appetites and habits beyond good sense and good health; we
sweep the crumbs into the tire; we burn "rubbish" that should be fuel—
there’s no end of our waste, and few of us wish to or can deny it.
Let us not onlv begin the every-day and every-hour practice of saving
in food and drink and fuel and clothing and of putting the saving into
Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps, hut let us take our own personal
lives in hand and be cleaner, wiser, healthier, better citizens for having
discarded habits of waste and adopted saving all along the line.

Make Sacrifice for Education to Aid in
Reconstruction After the War
By B. F. COEN, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo.
■ . ..... ...- - ■ ■ -I
If thousands of parents must give up suns to make the world safe for
democracy, shall not other thousands o! parents give up sons and daugh- ;
UTs trr the high schools ami colleges of the country, to prepare to do a
great service during the remainder of the war ami during the reconstrue- j
tion period after the war? Never in the world’s history have parents had
a greater opportunity to aid in the world s betterment.
Of course with your son or daughter kept from school or college, and
thereby missing the opportunity for greater service, it would not make
any great difference, hut with thousands of parents deciding as you decide,
with the same reasons, we might lose all that we are lighting for.
Many parents this fall will make unusual sacrifices in order to send
their sons and daughters to high school and college, hut there will be great
joy in the sacrifices.
No one knew how much happiness our young men put into our lives
until they marched away. Tliat goes double with the girls they left
behind ’em.
