WARNS MINE OWNERS.

orators DiSOpey Law.
Umpire Charles P. Neil of the con.
Citation board in deciding the griev-
ances of the miners of the Harleigh
No. Z colliery declares that the quib-
Ebfing of anthracite operators over back
pay and pay rates may be justly con-
sidered an attempt to destroy the or
derby processes through which the last
agreement was negotiated
He declares that the miners through
out the anthracite field are entitled to
back pay, the increase agreed upon
and that any effort to penalize the
workers threatens the peaceful condi-
lions of the region.
The umpire declares that it Is ''abso-
lutely essential to the success of the
system In effect in the anthracite field
for the peaceful settlement of any con-
troversies that the retroactive features
Of the decisions be maintained with
scrupulous fidelity"
In the Harleigh case the company al
legged that back pay could not be given
some men because they were formerly
contract men and that the company
had no records on which to base the
increase.
The umpire declares that it is the
duty of the companies to keep a rec
ord and that any effort to deny pay for
lack of records is but mere matter
Of clubbing.

STRIKES DEFENDED.
Corporations Prone to Deal Unfairly
With Their Employees.

WHIT nelr employees.
DR.. Stephen s. Wise, rabbi of the
Free synagogue, New York city, Sc
verely arraigned the railroad corpora
lions at the recent hearing on the plan
of Chairman Oscar s. Strans of the
public service commission to avert
strikes. DR.. Wise was the chairman
of the citizens committee on indus
trial relations. He said that for years
he has studied industrial problems and
the possibility Of increasing the democ-
ratization of the industries of Amer
lea. -
He said that In his judgment it was
not as needful to guard against strikes
as it was to safegUegd the public in
terests through insistence that quasi
public industries should treat their en-
ployees fairly. Referring to the strike
of street railway employees last sum-
mer, he expressed the opinion that the
conditions under which the men work.
ed before the strike were deplorable,
that many of them had to work seven
days week to make living and that
all the time the men were subjected to
the spy system, to threats and to intim-
idation by the corporations.
DR.. Wise did not think any system
that would give the employers equal
rights with the men in consideration
of wages and hours Of labor and con-
ditions of labor would work out to the
advantage of the men, because the cor
porations would always have present
their own little organization Of en-
ployees and would spy upon them, so
that those spied upon would either
have to yield to pressure or lose their
jobs.
He suggested the formation Of a
board of men representing the public
interests, whose duty it would be to
study conditions under which the men
worked and be ready at any time to
furnish any official regulating body
| with complete information. He thought
| that In this way a determination Of
differences could be arrived at with
out danger of doing injustice. DR.. Wise
made it clear that he doubted the dis
position of the corporations to deal
fairly with their employees. He said:
THE men must have the right to or
| ganize in independent and untrammel-
I ed fashion. | want to make it clear
that | am thinking Of those nice little
safe pet organizations which Mr..
Shonts and his associates control and
keep in their vest pockets. those little
organizations which are purchased and
bribed and intimidated into battle
against their fellows. Such organiza-
tons make impossible any genuinely
democratic organization of the men,"

ONE GIRL 5, UNION.


How a Needleworkers' Organization
improves lie spare Time.
The 10000 member of local rs Of
the Waist and DressIaakers' Union Of
New York city, having gained since the
big strike Of 1913 shorter working
day and higher wages, are turning
their organizing genius toward filing
more richly their leisure hours, says
the Survey.
From 7 O'Clock until 10 every even
ing several hundred girls fill all four
floors of public school No. 40 at 314
East Twentieth street. They go to
the school direct from work. On the
first floor they get sandwiches and cof-
fee for cents; upstairs some attend
their shop meetings and settle their
shop problems, take courses in Ameri-
can history, the labor movement here
and abroad, labor gislation, litera-
ture, the EnglisA 1 uage, dancing or
gymnasium wQrk a nurse and a doc
tor from the staff Of the joint board Of
sanitary control are here to give med
ical examination, and DR.. George NJ.
Price, director Of the board, gives
health talks.
The girls co-operated with the Peo-
pies institute and so gained the public
school building. Juliet Stuart Poyntz
was engaged to head the organization
and education department, and the
board of education is expected to give
help. They call this meeting place
unity center"
1T is MOI welfare work." writes
Pauline Newman, Investigator for the
joint board bf sanitary control and at
one time organizer for the union; at
is not charity. 1t is done by the girls
for the girls. To secure better wages
and shorter hours is indeed the chief
object Of a union. For those who have
no vision, who can get along without
the spiritual this is sufficient. To
those who expect from a union fair
days wage for fair days work the
material Is enough. But not for those
who look upon union as means to
readjust the age long grievances be-
tween master and servant. These
need not only food for the body, but
food also for the soul and for the
mind
Ii the unity center succeeds other
schools will perhaps be opened to
them. Negotiations for one on the
east side are already in progress. This
opening Of the public school completely
J to union labor groups gives it a new
significance as community center. A
week end camp for the coming sum-
mer is arranged for, and it is hoped
that in time cheap cooperative apart
ment houses may be built for the in

workers who give their full work
ing time to an industry" says the re-
port, should receive as a very mini
mum wage which will provide the
necessaries of life. If the business
cannot provide this there is serious
question whether it has right to exist.
I Men with families dependent upon
them should receive enough for the
support not only Of themselves, but Of
a normal family Otherwise family life
will be undermined.
Either the 'necessaries Of life should
include enough to allow workers to
! carry insurance and save something
for old age or else industry should
provide directly for the care Of In
i capscitated workmen and for the de
J pendents of workmen who are killed
at work, by payment made by the
| employer-the cost to be distributed
over society by some form of insurance
or by some other method

be minimized, and when workers lose

the farmers and gardeners ofKnox

which produce food for man and
beast, and it seems the desire, as
as well as the patriotic duty, of every
farmer and planter of crops of all
kind and character. to grow the great
est amount possible offood and pro
vender for the consumption of our
people and their live stock, thereby
insuring them against want as well
as the reduction of the high cost of
living.
1t has been intimated that many
farmers in Knox county have notthe
funds with which to supply them
selves with ample quantities of seed
for planting purposes,
This bank takes pleasure in an
nouncing that it will lend to such far
mers as may need its assistance mon
ey in amounts of SIS and upward.
TO be used in the purchase of such
seeds as they may decide to plant
