Feb. 14 Although the war is over "the mirier is always in the trenches." is the declaration of jthe supp«rt«r> of mini nationaliza tion in support of their claims that the mines should Iw ownis! by the people. Sidney \x ebb, who gave evi ■ deme before the Coni Industry Com . ntio-ion. i\ authority for the state ■ merit that from 1910 to 1914 there ' was a total of 81(1,105 accidents in ’ the coal mines of Great Britain cn tailing at least seven days’ incapac ' ity, and that the average number of i deaths for the pas, nine years n«» ! been 1.407 per year. Vernon Hartshorn, Member of ( Parliament, giving evidence before j the commission, said: “The only dif ference between the soldier and the miner is that the miner can never ask for an armistice. He eannot even treat for terms of surrender. । The casualties go on every day." . That production of coal is conduct- Jed too wastefully is another of the claims made by the supporters of nationalization of mines. Endless strife, interrupted and irregular pro duction and general technical deter ioration are among the results given of private ownership. According to the leaflets issued by the “Mines of the Nation" Campaign Committee there were 211 strikes and lockouts in 1910. 103 strikes and lockouts in 1913. and 154 ia 1918. “Strikes occur because the capital ist motive of • quick and profitable return upon capital blinds the capi talist to both the waiting character of coal as a commercial asset and ' to the Bead st Ma aMMtMg ■tttisa tkiiuin the the entire na-' Tbe garnedy air IMa whole coAtion TO PRINT A NEW MAP OF STATE Little Rock, Feb. 14.—The finest and most complete map of the state ever issued will be printed in a few days for the Department of A rictil ture It will lie 32 by 44 inches, in colors, with a large number of small descriptive maps in the mar in On the back will be printed a brief de scription of each county, with a characteristic picture of some fea ture of the county in the center of the sketch.

Mtogether a big effort is now Im* ing I’ ade to affect the pubiic n ind in fax r of national ownership of the coal inim i. .lust how it will come . ..t is hard to say. but the average Englishman who ha- hail any exper ience of Government control of pub lic utilities or industries is hardly likely to add to his burdens. There is a big agitation on at present a dn-t the telephone system—which is a government monopoly and since the Government has had control of thx railroads fares have steadily in . creased.
