that charges of contempt made against
eightyfour officials of the mine work

court injunction against the strike
probably would be dropped.
In their circular the miners officials

increased and profits remain the same
the burden is passed on to the con-
suming public in the form of an in
creased cost of living and comes back
to the wage worker himself. No por-
ton of improved living standards can
come out of the profits of the employ
ers unless there is profiteering.
"And what gives the opportunity for
profiteering Tie very conditions that
