We cannot bind up the broken hearts, or fill the vacant chairs in the home circle. We can, though, be just—and in doing justice we can reduce the number of such horrors, This| is not an appeal for alms or charity; only for justice—that and nothing more. Some measure of justice can be attained by making mine operators liable for those killed or injured in their service, For every miner killed certain sums fixed by law should be paid to those dependent upon his labor. For every miner injured com- pensation should be paid proportioned to his injury. These pay- ments should not depend upon the fault of any one, except the | person killed or injured. | The present system of liability depends upon negligence. If| you cannot prove that the mine owners were negligent, they are not liable. no matter how | careful they have been, are equally responsible. The whole | negligence theory is wrong. It imposes upon those least able| to bear it the whole burden in the great majority of cases Society—you and I—is unjust. By making compensation in case of accident an expense of} the business, just as much as wages paid, not only mine owners} but coal users help to bear the burden. Thus it is distributed | and the present injustice is mitigated. | But the more important consequences are that accidents would become less frequent.

Is it not time that America was aroused? In no other coun- try in the world is the disregard of human life so great. The annual sacrifice of lives in our mines is appalling. Our system is wrong. The responsibility of every man and woman must be/ made clear. Public opinion must be awakened. Then the sys-| tem will be changed.
