:: COLUMBUS, Feb. 6.-Ohio union
miners are preparing to renew their.
fight before the next state legislature
against the present use of screens at
mines. Under this system, wages are
computed on the coal that does not
go through the screen. The opera
tors, however, dispose of this screened
coal in the markets.
At the recent state constitutional
election, the people placed in their
organic law a section making this
practice illegal. When the following
legislature attempted to give this dec
laration statutory effect it was con-
fronted by a powerful lobby that
blocked action at that time. :.
The matter was referred to a COM
mission for investigation and it is said
the decision, when made public, will
be favorable to the miners.
The operators are now threatening
to go into court if the legislature

Lyndon A. Smith Submits opin.
ion That Minimum Wage Law
Is Constitutional.

The Minnesota minimum wage law
for women and minors has for the
second time been held constitutional
by Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith.
His views; on the new law were sub
United Tuesday to the advisory board
appointed by + the minimum wage
commission to investigate the hours
Of labor and, wage conditions in Twill.
City mercantile Establishments
The advisory board submitted u
series of questions relating to the
powers and authority Of the commits
sion in fixing wages. The crucial
question; submitted to the attorney
general involved the constitutionality
of the minimum wage law. Labor in
terests viewed with suspicion this
mode of, procedure. \
They contended that it was the
duty of the advisory board to- go
ahead and investigate labor .condi-
tons in mercantile establishments,
determine a minimum wage for wom-
en- and minors and then put it up to
employers to obey. If they refused it
would then he up to the courts to
determine the validity of the law. But
Attorney General Smith shows that
he is abreast of the times. He held
the law to be valid, and now there is
nothing to prevent. the commission
from going ahead with it's work.

ers as the candidate against Mr.. Com
pers for president of the American
Federation Of Labor. It gives this in
formations: white is not a member
Of the Socialist party, but he is ac-
ceptable to Socialists as he favors in
dustrial unionism. He is a Catholic"
And we wonder why this should make
any difference. The Socialistic at
tempt to inject party politics and re-
ligion into the American labor move
ment is significant. It can split the
workers on such issues easier than
they can be divided on adj others. 1t
seems as if the game is anything to
defeat Gompers."',
And they are willing to go to the
sewer to get the filth with which to
do it. Gompers has a labor record
sof thirty-five years standing. It is
good record; if it were not they would
have found weak places in it long ago.
That is why they SANDER him--not his
record, but his character. SANDER
has ever been the refuge of towards.
Treated Gompers Shabbily.
Gompers went to Indianapolis at
the invitation Of the convention of
the United Mine Workers. He an
swered the charges Mcdonald and his
sort made against the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, and he answered
them so effectually there was no
chance to come back. So they
trumped up the accusation that Com
pers was a drunkard. This charge
has been made against many good
men. The best way to answer it is
to ignore it
Those who know Gompers and are
his friends do not believe it, and those
who are his enemies will still con-
tinue to assail him. His life work
stands out as the real REPUTATION of
the vicious and cowardly charge. Oh,
that their own leaders were as pure
and as clean as Gompers.
And to think that Scotchman, or
at least one who bears the honored
name of Mcdonald. should stoop to
the charge? He must be a left-hand-
ed celt. His assault is not in keeping
with Scottish character. Men of that
| blood usually have great charity; they
may be earnest and Jealous for a
cause, but they usually fight fair, at
least they are not character scaven-
gers, and it is knowledge of this Scot
fish trait that makes us ask, with
what filth Mcdonald is polluted

Little Falls Citizens Stand By
Union Make It Hot for
Strikebreakers.

The Papermakers' unions of Sank
Rapids and Little Falls are still put
ting up game fight for the eight
hour day. The boys went out May 80,
1913, and from that day to this there
has not, been one desertion from the
ranks.
The paper mills at both points have
brought In a number of strike break
ers, but they remain for but a short
time; there seems to be an endless
chain of them coming and going in
and out of the mills. Public SYM
pathy is with the strikers, so much so
that strike breakers have difficulty in
being fed in the towns by citizens.
According to Jacob Miller, one Of
the striking papermakers, every hotel
in Little Falls refused to board the
strike-breakers. A butcher who fur
nished meat for them when they were
kept at the mills had to close his doors
as the citizens quit dealing with him.
A grocer who did the same thing is
sorry that he looked for that trade.
Now 1t is said that a union brick
layer, Fred Wohlert ST., is housing and
feeding the strike breakers after all
the others refused to have anything to
do with them. Tbs lis what is at pre-
sent bothering the union papermakers.
1t is the last straw, and it no doubt
will be soon broken.

When, in the middle of December
they were unable to produce enough
coal to supply the penal institutions
of the state and were forced to lease
mine to the state to produce it's own
coal, they made no effort to explain
the shortage.
Those citizens who have had any
doubts about the success Of the coal
strike can find excellent food for
thought in the figures for December.
