West Virginia and Russia In the great feudal barony known as West Virginia, thow sands of women and little children te are cold and bungry and shelter- less and without much hope in the These women and children are the members of families of mine workers, men who go down inte the blackness of the underground, toiling with pick and drill day after day (when they are so tucky as to be employed) in hourly danger of death by caveins and explosion of firedamp, toiling in that most dangerous and unconr fortable of human oeecupations, the mining of soft coal. ‘These men, to whom Ife has been and is one long, long fight, have organized themselves for bet- ter ‘protection to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and now, beeanse of this organization, they are facing hanger and eviction from their squalid homes. During the past year, becamse the non-anion mine operators have “adjosting wares downward” and “thus taking the cream of the business away from the union operators,” the days of succerded in employment have sh nk and shrunk until there are hundreds of miners in West Virginia whose total earnings during the past year have been less than $500, and in some cases less than $300! And now, when Congressman Thomas of Kentueky tntroduces a biN to appropriate $500,000 of this great, rich government's money to sid “these suffering women and children, we are told that in- vestigation must be held to deter. mine whether there are any funds from which such relief couid be legally made" In the language of Mr. Thomas, “we do not recall that any such anxiety as to legal methods, agi- tated the brains of congress three weeks ago when $20,000,000, » sum 40 times as great, was appre printed to feed starving Russians, 5,000 miles away.” No, Mr. Thomas, but thie ts dif- ferent.
