Seruon 38 of the Mining Law would compel us to Mine Coal by body-rack-
■;g. health-destroying and life-endanger :ng methods or leave the State Its sin-
iter purpose is clothed under technical phrases familiar only .0 M,..e ct's
and operators.
It would drive us fTorr. the Hemes we cherish and have worked years and
years. w:th our lives in constant danger, to build. We should be refugees in
other states seeking work.
And WHY?
So that the already All Powerful Coal
Mine Owners might feast and fatten on the
smaJI mjie operator (or independent) who
would be compelled to close down and sell
out at a pittance.

graduation was very highly compli-

from Professor Kroeger of that in-

flattering as it was, was declined, at

bring herself to feel like deserting
