WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 29.-
Because some coal operators refuse to
comply with laws of the state relative
to weighing coal, much discomfort ex-
lists among miners and coal produc-
ton has been retarded to some ex-
tent, says the Wheeling Majority.
THE miners want to work and pro-
duce all the coal possible, and they
also want all such coal properly
weighed and object to being short
changed by profiteers. The state law
is very plain on this subject and the
miners insist upon the observance of
the law"

Melinda 1l Scott !! Appointed I!lp||e to an:
Important Position In U.s.: !:
Employment Service.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The
United States employment service an
nounces the appointment of Miss Me-
linda Scott of New York, vice pres
ident of the National Women's Trade
Union league, as special representa-
tive OF the employment service, at
tached to the women's division in the
admlnlstr strative offices at WashinEton.
Miss Scott Is an officer in the United
Hat Trimmers' union, and was a
member of the American labor mis-
sion recently returned from ENGLAND
and France.
1t will be the duty of Miss Scott to
see that no local distractions in
terfere with the placing of women
workers under the policies Of the
6nited-States employment service and
women-in-industry division Of the de-
partment Of labor. When, for in
stance, there is delay in filling a
rush call for women workers from
some industrial plant, Miss Scott will
be assigned to discover whether the
fault rests with the employment serv-
ice or may be found ". working con-
dltions at the plant itself.
Miss Scott's experience gives her
unusual qualifications for the work
Tor which she has been chosen, Her
knowledge Of the problems. of women
IN industry is based or practical ex-
perlence, for she began work as a. hat
trimmer at the age of 13. She has
worked in many factories, and of late
has held many important positions, as
an officer in the sWomen's Trade
Union league, a member of the
women-in-in industry committee of the
council of National Defense, and by
appointment Of Governor Whitman a.
member of the industrial coucil of
the state of New York.
In addition, her experiences abroad
with the American labor mission en-
aole Miss Scott to bring to. the en-
ployment service a valuable fund Of
information on the way problems
which now face this country are be-
ing handled abroad. Her intimate
knowledge of industrial conditions
and plants and her wide acquaintance
with employment managers and en-
ployes will make her also a valuable
ADVISER at the central office.

sIsts on Bargaining g.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The na-
tional War Labor board condemns in
dlvidiual contracts between employees
ana employers, and the Smith & Wes-
son Arms company CT Springfield,
Mass, is notified that "the practice
OF the company in times past to make
restrictive personal contracts, even If
lawful when made, is contrary to the
principles of the National War board
and the practice of making such con-
tracts should be discontinued during
the period of the war;"
The company had secured these in
dlvldual contracts and refused 20 con-
cede any form of collective bargain
ing to it's employees, who were dis
charged as fast as they showed any
inclination to object.
The decision is in line with similar
rulings by. the board and is in op-
position to decision by the United
States supreme court, which upheld
individual contracts, last December.
After smashing its individual con-
tracts the board notifies the company
that its employees will be protected in
their right to organize and bargain
collectively, as this is a fundamental
principle Of the board.
1t Is recommended that all matters
In dispute as to wages and other con-
ditions be adjusted by joint commit
tee and in case Of disagreement the
matter be referred to the National
War Labor board.
