GIVE UP JURISDICTION

The jurisdiction contention that has
hampered the organization OF the coal
stripping industry, the new develop
mentr in this section, has been ended
with the REIMBURSEMENT of jurisdiction
claims over the engineers and firemen
by the international Brotherhood of
Steam Shovelmen.
This leaves the field clear for the
United Mine Workers of America, the
organization which, being industrial
in its scope, provides for all the work
ers in and about the mines, regardless
of their classification.
The strike at Parlette will now take
on new phase, being solidly support

Andrew Watkins is on the ground now.
and Percy Tetlow, Washington legisla-

section to take active charge. The
men have been out for four weeks,
and strike benefits have been paid by

The system of COAL, mining is by
stripping off the surface where coal
does not lie too deep below. This is
done*by steam shovels. The gathering
of the coal is done by the same
process.
