MINERS’ CRITICS.
[to the editor.] Sir,—Mr. Anderson seemed hurt with my nom de plume, bless him, and as for thawing out I say if he and Co. had less strikes and stopwork meetings I’ll be able to thaw out with a bonny fire of Strongman coal. “Proud Miner” made a poor fist of his reply. He has nothing to be proud about, in fact should be ashamed of himself. Strikes, etc., and people freezing and boys overseas every bit as good as him have been blown to bits for far less than our Proud Miner’s Coy., and they have no bath house heated. He gave a budget of his daily toil, which I know all about, also saying the long hours he had to work in wet clothes. The farmer works seven days a week and a good 10 to 12 hours daily in all weathers. When they come home wet and cold the bath house isn’t heated. So Proud Miner I hope you don’t catch any more beastly colds with that cold bath-house. If you do just be contented and keep working not striking. Yours, etc., “BATH HOUSE.” This correspondence may well close. —Ed. “Star.”
