50 THE COAL TRADE BULLETIN.
FROM THE MINER'S POINT OF VIEW.
A recent issue of the United Mine Workers'
Journal contained the following editorial:
"The Pittsburgh Coal Co.'s Relief Association is
going on in undiminished splendor in its work of
mercy. Its latest report shows that it has paid
up to April 30, 1905, the sum of $2112,770.62, and
Ihal ils pension fund had risen to $35,410.44, of
which (he company paid $14,945.95. It is an abuse
of terms to call Hiis charity. It is a beneficent
work instituted by the company's officials who
look after its affairs without pay. It is impossible
to overstate tlie benefits of this scheme to the company's
employes. It removes them from the
grasp of the cold world in their hours of sickness
and deaht. In this connection compare this noble
work of Messrs. Robbins, Hornberger and Mc­
Donald with that otlier trinity, Parry, Post and
Job. and see how ineffably mean, how hollow the
platitudes, how pitiably small the latter appear
when contrasted with them. The officials of that
giant corporation loom above them like Mt. Hood
does above a hen coop in all that goes to distinguish
a good man from a mean one. Consider the
good that vast sum has done to the hurt and the
bereaved families of the dead bread winners. The
names of these men—Robbins, Hornberger and
McDonald—deserve to be remembered with respect
and esteem whenever Toil draws upon its memory."
