MINERS EXECUTIVE
ANSWERS OPERATORS

Hazclton, Pain a statement by Pres
ident Thomas Kennedy, Of District No.
Z, United Mine Workers. this unionist
again shows that members Of organized
labor are fully competent to cope with
the paid publicity agents of coal opera
tors or other employers who would dis
regard facts i'll their attempt to mold
public opinion.
The operators publicity department
has claimed that the cost of labor dis
putes in the coal industry would dig an
other Panama Canal. TO this Kennedy
replies: "lf the water was squeezed out
of the financial end of the coal opera
tors affairs it would float the English
navy"
1.-The statement from the operators is
along the usual lines known to every
person in the country says the coal
miner They profess great solicitude
for the coal consumer at this time, when
they hope to use them. The consumers,
however, know and understand that the
price of anthracite coal is not based on
the cost OF production, but is based on
the monopolistic principle of charging
all that the traffic will bear
The operators are not willing to per-
the representatives Of the public. namely,
the Federal Government. They desire
that the public accept their figures, which
in the past have proven so misleading
that the United States Government and
various State governments have ap-
pointed numerous commissions to inves-
tigate such figures which bear all the
ear marks of suspicion
The operators question the right Of
our demand for a two-year agreement.
We hold that such period is long
enough, and the fact Of the Interna-
tional Convention deciding upon the
policy of continuing at work pending the
settlement of wage disputes eliminates
the contention of the operators. The
operators reserve upon themselves the
right to raise coal on the slightest pre-
text, and will raise it twice in one year,
as they have done. They themselves, by
their past actions show they don't be-
licvc i'll long agreements on the price Of
coal when they cannot continue to drag
the same profits out Of it.

THE BLUE RIBBON BELLIES.

With formidable array Of talent and
finely produced two new musical farces,
especially written and composed for this
organization, and the largest organza-
ton of its history, The Blue Ribbon
Bellies come to the Olympic Theatre
week Of March >, with Lee Hickman,
the prince Of buresque comedians in the
role of chief laugl-creator. The new
pieces are entitled, "The Wishing Stone"
and AT Panama" and is from the pen
of Lon lIascall, who has already estab-
lishcd several comedy successes of less
prctcntiOus proportions to his credit.
Then there is music not worn thread
bare by mechanical devices because it is
fresh from the composer, Irving Berlin,
for this production. With Lee Hick-
man at the head Of the fun department,
and J. Theo. Murphy still in the running
with his Irish wit and quaint capers,
the comedy department is well taken care
of in The Blue Ribbon Bellies. Then
there are more than a score Of pretty
chorlStcrs, always an essential in a bur
lesquc offering, nearly an equal number
OF talented principals of established repu-
tation and, better still, two good comedy
plots for them to exploit their talents.
Several dance novelties are the diver
sions between laughs There will also
be the following added attractions
Tuesday night, Plantation and Battle
Royal; Wednesday night, Chorus Girl
Waltz Contest; Thursday night, Spar
ring Contests; Friday night. Real
Amateur Show; Saturday night. the Big
Country Store.

&Saakze4kzs
-,'

Included also on this bill are two acts
in particular that have won rich meas
ure of triumphant success. One of
these is the sparkling and screaming
combination of laughs, "Glorias Gam
ble," in which Lorraine Buchanan is
aided in making matters lively by four
other farceurs. Gladness, sunshine and
JOY are the principal ingredients of this
brilliant offering.
Another act of distinction and class
is that of the Three Rozellas, one of
whom plays the harp, another the violin,
and the third impersonates an inebriate
of the ludicrous type, extracting music
from lamp-post that he has, apparent
ly, picked up off the street in his happy
ramblings. Musical acts of this brilliant
quality are rare.
On the bill also are Grndell and
Esther, in cyclone of comic singing
and dancing; Hunters $4,000 Dogs,
twin statue posing CANNES; Ed and
Minnie Foster, rollcking, funny singing
folk, and two reels of comedy film.

WORK is NOT STEADY
In GARMENT INDUSTRY

Washington.-ln report just issued
by the Bureau of Statistics, United
States Department of Labor, it is shown
that the problem of irregularity of en-
ployment in the women's ready-to-wear
industries seems to be quite as acute
as ever" in spite of the elimination of
excessive overtime, the shortening of
the regular hours of labor and the rails
ing of wages. 1t is stated that shorter
hours, better treatment and better week
ly pay have not been accompanied by a
lengthenng of working time in this sea-
sonal trade, and that employers have
paid no attention to this fact
The bureaus study is based upon data
secured from employers pay rolls show
ing the actual amount of wages paid
from week to week for period of fifty
two consecutive weeks New York. Chi
cago Cleveland and Boston, four Of the
five leading ccnters in this industry
were covered. In these four cities 800
shops representing about 100000 en-
poyes. and II groups of manufacturers,
were investigated. In one of the indus
tries, one-tenth of the employees had
work for less than 10 weeks and less
than one-tenth of these actually en-
ployed during the year had work for as
much as 40 weeks.
''In spite of this extreme irregularity,'
continues the report the matter of
regularization of employment has, so far,
received but scant attention from manu-
facturers or their organizations. Many
individual employers when first inter
viewed, were apparently unaware of the
extreme rregularity of their pay rolls,
and stated that for the most part their
business showed very little rregularity
in the course of year, and that, gen
orally speaking, employment in the gar
ment trades is as regular as it could
possibly be under the existing circum-
stances
The bureau believes that considerable
relief from unemployment can be Sc
cured by the systematic "dovetaling' of
occupations in some of the allied branch
cs of the trades. and cites the expert
cnce of individual manufacturers to sup
port this position.
"Dovetaiing' consists in utilizing
employees during the dull season for the
manufacture of garments of simpler
variety than the line ordinarily pro-

OPPOSE MERGER OF BOARDS.

Boston.-lradc unionists in this State
are opposing the proposed merger of
the Industrial Accidents Board, Mini
mum Wage Commission, Board Of Con
citation and Arbitration and Board Of
Labor and Industries, as advocated by
Governor Mccall in his inaugural ad-
dress. The workers insist that the work
Of these boards is not Identical and that
each has a wide scope To develop cf-
IlclcnCy. At recent conference Of dele
gates representing central bodies, the fol
lowing resolution was adoptcd
I'VE are unaltcrably opposed to any
action by the Legislature that will change
the identity or in any way consolidate or
merge the duties now incumbent upon
the Industrial Accidents Board the
Minimum Wage Commission, Board of
Cancellation and Arbitration and Board
of Labor and Industries, it being our
opinion that each board or commission
has ample work to perform in its own
especial field without taking on the work
OF any other board or commission"

WHY SAILORS DO NOT SAIL

Vancouver, British Columba-A local
newspaper bemoans the fact that it is a
problem to find sailors for Canadian
vessels. Business Agent Burns, of the
Sailors Union, makes this reply in the
British Columbia FederdtiOniSt
at is the same problem that confronts
every maritime nation today. The white
man is leaving the sea, and his place is
being taken by the Oriental.
why? Because the sailor no longer
wishes to be slave. He wants to be
as his fellow men ashore-free to quit
his job if he does not like it, to be able
to earn wage that will keep him in the
necessaries of life, and to have a decent
place to live in.
ANY seaman will tell you which he
would sooner go in, sail or steam. The
answer would usually be steam. His
wages are usually little higher and
the work little easier. 1t is usually
through force of circumstances that
they go in sailing ships, and he stays
no longer than he can help.
I'VE have sailors homes and churches
and everything else to look after his
spiritual welfare, but nothing is ever
thought of for his comfort while on
earth. Give the sailor the same freedom
as his fellow men enjoys.
THE United States has taken the first
step in that direction, by passing and
placing on the statute books law de-
clarirg all men who sail on United
States ships free men, and giving them
better accommodation, better food and
many other improvements. The results
will not be noticeable for few years.

better class of men will man their ships.
