November Here. where the front lines of the embattled miners and anthracite coal harons are outlined by seemingly end Jass miles of dark, silent colieries, two less miles of dark, silent collieries, two as one of the most interesting indus trial feuds in the history of organized labor. One PHILIP: is the complete lack of dis tress, or even want, among the miners, despite the fact that they have now been jobless more than two months, and the other the admit ted and absolute ignorance the rank and file among the strikers as to just what they are fighting for They simply (ollowing their lead ers blindly. 1 are Abundance of Money.

The spreading dotting the Lacka- wanna and Wyoming \Valleys have reached out and embraced them all within their corporate limits. ilence it is only in the smaller towns that the stranger can distinguish the miner fiom the ordinary “white col lar” toiler and engage him in conver sation. In cities like Wilkes-Barre the charitable societies are the ba rometers of need. But in places like Pittston. which welcomes the visitor from Washington like a Drother because its own Bucky” Harris is now an fmportant personage in the Natlonal Capital. the miners may be found talking quietly in little zroups on the corners or sitting quietly on tha porches of their comfortable little homes. There they discuss this strike with carefree abandon “Oh. we get along ve'y well. me my wife and the keads.” ‘said one of four that were found busily enzaged pitching horseshoes back of a barn on the outskirts of Pittston. “We don’t have quite as much as before, but we have plenty. The union, she take of those who have notting who have few thousan' dollar, they mus' look out for themselves.” ‘When do vou think the strike will end.” the four were asked “Hell, we don’ know." replied one, while the others went on pitching the horseshoes That's all in the union.

Lewls, president of the United Mine Workers of America. spoke only a few nights ago, it is all the same.” Complete and admitted lack of understandinz. There ie just a hazy idea in the minds of the miners that in the course of time the union will get them an increase in wage. And that is all that concerns them its days seem to cities und towns hands of the Answers to Wages. The only time the most imperti nant inquirer can rouse the miners to any mental exertion is when he asks them If they don’t think they make enough That question was asked of a trio in Olyphant. By way nf answer the inquirer was escorted around to the homes of 40 widowed wives and orphaned children.
