WAR SITUATION DEM ANDS THE MINES
WORK EVERY DAY THAT MINES CANRUN
Officers
Impressng the Importance Largest
Coal in Order That Government May Not Be
Hampered During the Present Crisis

International President Frank J.
Hayes of the United Mine Workers of
America, who succeeded to the chief
executive office last week when John
j. White resigned, has announced that
he will endeavor to establish harmony
in the ranks of the miners to the end
that every mine worker may realize
the necessity of an uninterrupted coal
supply and that strikes in violation of
contracts will be thing of the past"
He further adds: eve must stand
strongly behind the government in the
present emergency. In taking this po-
sition we will earn the confidence of
the American public and will best safe
guard the interests of our craft"
In furtherance of the program the
following official circular has been ad-
dressed to the membership:
Indianapolis, Oct. 80, 1917.
To the Membership Of the United
Mine Workers of America:
Brothers-The attention of the Off
GERS of your organization has been
called to the fact that in many min
ing communities a number of men en-
ployed in and around the mines absent
themselves from work without cause
or iustification-in some instances for
one day and in Others for many days
at time.
Under ordinary conditions the alb
sence of an individual or several in
dividuals from their places of en-
ployn. ent at the mine is Of little con-
sequence. Now, however, the daily
service of a single worker can not be
spared. At this time when the man
power of the nation counts for much
and the greatest efficiency of each in
dividial is needed our membership can
not afford to withhold their daily serv-
ices so much needed by the govern
ment and the people Of our nation as
well. In these extraordinary times it
is the duty of each and all to render
the best service of which they are ca
pable. 1t is a time when sacrifices
should be made in the interest of the
common cause and fo~ our common
country. Nothing we can do should
be left undone, nor no service we can
render should be withheld in order to
bring about national success and a
speedy termination of the war.
The young men Of America are
leaving their homes and are offering
their service and their lives in defense
of our country Nam Of these men
are members of our union who worked
with us in the mines. They will give
their full measure of devotion and Will
render a good account Of themselves.
Upon those who remain at home they
must rely for food, fue. and war sup
plies. While they are fighting IN the
trenches or upon the sea, we at nome
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-11-10

must "do our bit," and must support
them loyalty and fully. Much depends
upon the United Mine Workers of
America-the men who mine the coal.
The nation looks to them for a fuel
supply sufficient to meet every need.
The demand for an adequate fuel
supply comes to every man employed
in and around the mines. Every man
must work every day, every week and
every month and in doing so must
give his full measure of service. There
is no place in society during these ex-
traordinary times for the "slacker"
workers upon whom so much depends.
The call for service comes to every
mine worker. Let all respond as true
Americans by discharging your duty
faithfully and well.
Beginning with the increase in min
ing prices which takes effect on No
vember l, let every mine worker work
each day and do his best in mining
and producing coal. Your labor is as
essential to success as the service of
the army in the field. Let no man re-
main away from his place of employ
ment, but instead be at your working
place each day giving to the limit the
best service of which you are capable.
Let local unions use their influence
in the most practical way in requiring
their individual membership to work
steadily.
We are addressing you in this man
ner as officers of your organization in
terested in your welfare and for the
sake of humanity as well. We wish to
avoid cause for complaint by the fed
eral government and the charge as
we'll that the miners of this country
are not responding individually and
collectively in giving the nation full
supply of coal. Neither reason nor
excuse should be found by which those
unfriendly to organized labor or those
inclined to favor radical action could
induce the federal government to adopt
extreme measures compelling those
who are commonly known as slack
ers" to perform their personal and pa
triotic duty in mining coal.
We most earnestly recommend that
individual efficiency, the stimulation
of coal production. the giving of daily
service and the best way by which II
can be secured. be taken up by each
local union of the United Mine Work
prs of America. We sincerely hope
that the membership both individually
and collectively will respond to the
suggestions and advice herein given
you.
President.

Vice President.

500 WAR STRIKES
THAT MANY REPORTED SINCE
U. S. ENTERED CONFLICT.
Department of Labor Complies Sta
tistics to Show That More
Than 100000 Men Have
Been Affected.

According to statistics just COM
piled by the department of labor there
has been reported to the government
since April 8 when state of war with
Germany was declared. no less than
500 strikes and other industrial dis
turbances." The statistics cover a
period of almost exactly six months,
and show that 1,029,671 working men
were affected. In the same period in
1916 only LA strikes occurred.
The governments record shows that
of the 500 strikes to which official at
tention was called, 100 are still in
force, fifty were given up as impos-
sible of adjustment, and forty-eight
were in a quasi-adjusted condition.
The remainder We're settled in one way
or another.
Realizing that labor disturbances,
especially such as would affect work
upon war contracts, would constitute
a material weakness in the effort put
forth by the United States, the war
industries board has under considera-
ton form of contract, which will give
the government power to act as arbi-
traitor without waiting for an invita-
tion from either side, and which binds
the contractor to abide by the decision
made in each case.
For its part the government will
agree to revise the contract prices to
meet any revision upward in labor
costs resulting from such arbitration
