-EDITORIAL— s coal miners, when they struck, walked out in the spring, at which time a curtailment of coal pro- duction was least felt in American homes. Winter was over, cold weather was disappearing, and most families had quite apile of left-over coal near the furnace door, It was by spring strikes that the United Mine Workers of America won' recognition of their union, shorter hours, higher wages, and better working conditions. This they did Without the terrors of a coalless winter to aid them. * Less than one-sixth of all coal mined, and a still smaller proportion of bituminous produced, is used for home cooking and heating purposes. The home demand could not have been a great factor in the winning or losing of a strike, It Was shutting off coal to the big industrial users, and the railroads, that brought the coal operators to their knees and compelled their yielding to the demands of the workers. Railroads and industrials use little more coal in winter than in spring or summer. The larger railroads and indus trials have coal surpluses piled up against a shortage for from one to six months. The smaller concerns will be hit first and hardest. That always has been the fate of the “little fellow.” A winter coal strike and the consequent decrease in coal | production will hurteneither the big nor little industrial © Wser mere than a spring strike would. But it will be felt ‘More severel¥ by the home consumers, those who use only a sixth of al! coal mined. Now as to the one-sixth: It has been estimated by a coal expert that less than 10 per cent of all homes put in their winter coal in the summer. Another ten per cent, it is esti- Mated, get the winter’s coal in the fall. The’ four-fifths of ‘all homes buy their coal a ton or so at a time. Many buy it a bushel at a time. And these are the people who will be hit hardest by a / winter coal strike. Their supply will melt away rapidly. | Their cook stoves and their heating stoves will be empty, The rich and the well-to-do have their winter coal. The ‘poor have theirs to get. Their pocketbooks limit their coal ying. And these will feel the winter coal strike worst of all. The winter coal strike won't chill the millionaire’s man- It will bring the temperature down to the freezing tt in the homes of the poor: In these homes the lack of i will spell discomfort, disease and death. In this indictment of the winter coal strike we do not " intend to charge the striking miners or their union official el full responsibility. While they might have del 4 strike until after the home was fortified against win ter cold, there is a large measure of responsibility to be charged to the coal operators. They showed a marked lack pf desire to get together with their employes. Seemingly op@rators knew the public could not stand freezing long demanding that the miners go back to work. In strikes operators displayed ability to arbitrate with sir men. Now they have become unapproachable. They mand their “pound of flesh”—the continuing of a war- labor contract a year after the war is ended. They get their “pound of flesh” by freezing the poor. the ing miners may get what they demand, by the method. But whoever is responsible for this winter strike—operators or miners—will be friendless in the ne where the biting cold of winter cannot be driven away use there is no coal in the stove.
