The owners objected to the consideration of the new terms during the war and asked the miners to accept the existing agreements plus a war bonus.

There is no quicker channel through which to reach all the people than the public schools. With this in mind, two entire chapters and part of a third are devoted to demonstrating why no other course was open to this country ...
