drastic action that the government
has taken since putting the national
army draft into effect. The absolute
necessity for this program can be seen
when 1t is realized that in Pittsburg,
for instance, there are advertisements
calling for men to go TO Detroit; while
in Detroit street cars there are post
ers asking men to 60 to Pittsburg.
This same condition is apparent all
over the United States and In the con-
sequent shifting Of labor a great part
of our war effort is dissipated.
Because this is one Of the greatest
problems facing the nation today, we
are asking that you give this matter
your careful consideration. You will
probably desire to carry some COM
ment on this basic change in the ma
tons labor methods, and we would

When the survey Of labor require

industries in that state.

These state quotas will in turn be
distributed among localities. Within
each locality, employer in non-war

JOHN FITZPATRICK,
"President.
sc. N. NOCKELS, Secretary"
Frankfurter Makes Statement.

Chairman Franlfurter of the war
labor policies board has issued state
ment, thru the committee on public
information, in the course of which
he says:
"The need for increased production
of war stuffs thru stabilized industrial
conditions has, furthermore, long been
so apparent that Congress on its own
initiative, without the advice and even
without the knowledge of the war Ia
Dor policies board, instructed the poll
cies board to standardize wages.
But, altho the showing made by
the army, navy and fleet corporation
was overwhelmingly convincing, the
policies board would have hesitated to
ask labor to make whatever sacrifice
wage standardization involves, il the
proper safeguards had not been
erected. II profiteering had been al
lowed to go on unchecked, and the cost
of living had not been controlled,
Standardization would not have been
right"
To Reduce" Pro6teering.
It appears, then, that Mr.. Franklin
ter now believes that wage Standard
zation does involve n sacrifice to the
workers. He also believes that profit
eering has already been checked, and
that the cost OF living has been con-
trolled. Otherwise, he says, it would
not have been right" to compel the
wage workers to make this sacrifice.
He names various measures taken,
or proposed: to reduce profiteering,
and pending, have revealed the deter
mination Of the American people to
let no one make money out Of the

GREAT ADVANCE IN
COAL PRODUCTION
NEW MILLION MARK SET
FOR WEEKS WORK.
Increased Shipments Range From rs
to Sc Per Cent and National Fuel
Administration Hopes to Over
come Previous Deficit

Weekly coal production records
have found a new million mark to
conjure with, thereby smashing all
previous records of weekly output.
According to the weekly report fur
nished the United States fuel admin
istration by the geological survey the
bituminous output (including Ignite
and coal made into coke) is estimated
at 1928 900 net tons, an increase
over the week Of July 6 Give working
days) Of 1887 900 net tons, or 20 per
cent, and over the corresponding week
Of last year of 1,479, 900 net tons,
or 1875 per cent.
The average production per working
day is estimated at 2,207 900 net tons,
as against 2,051 900 net tons during
the week Of July 6, or an increase Of
7.6 per cent, and as compared with
the average production per working
day of 1861 900 net tons during the
corresponding week of 1917.
The output during the week ended
July 10, Of 13,243,000 net tons is ap-
proximately 1,031 900 net tons, or 8
per cent above the average weekly
requirements of 1921, 800, estimated
by the United States fuel administra-
ton. However, the average weekly
production for the coal year to date
is estimated at II 1858 900 net tons,
or So per cent behind the weekly re-
quirements. In order to make up
the deficit for the coal year from April
1 to date, of 643,000 net tons per
week, or 1851 900 net tons, it will
be necessary to have approximately
ten more weeks of production equiva-
lent to that of last week, or a pro-
duction of 12,472, 900 net tons during
each of the thirty-seven remaining
weeks in the coal year ending March
81, 1919. This figure has only twice
been attained-the week of June 10
and the week here reported.
With these facts in view, the eff
forts of the fuel administration, oper-
ators and miners to increase produc-
ton must be supplemented by the
elimination of every wasteful or I'M
necessary use of coal.
Reports from the carriers show in
creased shipments for the week of
July 10, ranging from &c to SO per
cent.
Anthracite shipments for the week
were also vastly increased, the rec
ords showing 1881 cars Of anthra-
cite, against 81 ,493 cars during the
week ended July 6.

ers at Canon City.
Copper Mining Zone.
Among the important matters to be
considered by the convention are the
scale for the next two years, more
representation Of the government
boards dealing with metal mining. A
proposition made some time ago by
government officials to create a labor
zone Of the eight copper mining states
and fix a universal scale OF wages,
based on the price paid by the gov
eminent for copper, is to be acted
upon.
The present agreement Of the gov
eminent with the copper mine owners
expires during the latter part Of this
month, and a committee will most
likely be sent by the convention to the
Forthcoming conference at Washing
ton where the matter Of a new sched-
ule is to be determined. Before the
war, when copper was selling for ID
cents a pound, the miners were paid
ing 26 cents per pound, an increase OF
ting $5.75 per day.
Loyal to the Government.
The metal miners are giving loyal
support to the government and there
is not disturbance at present in the
industry anywhere. It is one Of the
most essential to winning the war, as
the metals, copper, zinc, iron and
spelter, are used in the making Of
arms and munitions.
Many new unions of metal miners
and smelter workers have been formed
during the past year, including the
iron miners in Alabama. Delegates
will come from as far East as New
Jersey, and Canada is to be well rep
resented.
Nomination and election Of officers
is by the initiative and referendum
system, and this will take place in
November.

The committee and others, who have
Investigated the feasibility of this
manufacturing plant and the posi-

iastic regarding it and are giving it
their financial as well as their per-
sonal endorsement. This is q plant
that does not requie great amount
of money to put it on its feet, ready
for operation, and the contracts have
been drawn so that no one person is
expected to carry a load. 1t can be
said, it is believed without contradic-
ton, that the people of this city and
mining district have never before been
offered such an attractive and at the
same time such an absolutely clean
proposition. 1t is well worth the con-
sideration of all persons who have
even a limited amount of money to
invest.
The contracts, as signed, are in
themselves an additional attraction or
inducement. Any member of the
committee or officer of the Chamber
of Commerce will be glad to answer
inquiries on the zinc products plant
proposition.
The committee that investigated
the feasibility of such a plant and
that entered into an agreement with
Mr.. Greenstreet is composed Of L. L.

were signed by him and by A. L. Har-

The machinery has already been
spoken for and it is hoped that it will
be possible to start the plant in the
near future. Several different pro-
ducts will have first consideration, in
