ORDERLY LEADERSHIP STAYED
BY COURT WRIT
Owners Would Have Miners Throw
Aside the Only Power at Their
Command Before Granting
Them a Fair Con-
sideratiOn

Washington-The injunction issued
against coal miners will only result
in restraining an orderly leadership
of this strike, declared President
Gompers, Secretary Morrison and
Vice President Woll of the A. F. of
L., following their visit of protest to
Attorney General Palmer.
After reviewing the causes that led
to the strike, the A. F. of L. officials
said:
1.-The mine owners very cleverly
met the issue by appearing willing
and anxious to negotiate, but only if
the miners would first throw aside the
only power at their command to gain
a respectful hearing and fair consid-
eration-the decision to strike when
ever it was demonstrated fair deal
ings did not prevail.
ave are now faced with a coal
strike of vast magnitude. The gov
eminent now proposes to intervene
because of a possible coal shortage.
Apparently the government is not
concerned with the manipulation of
the mine owners, which has made for
the present coal shortage and undue
unemployment of the miners for the
past II months.
Instead of dealing with those re-
sponsible for this grave menace to
the public welfare, it now proposes
to punish those who, by force of cir
cumstances, have been the victims of
the coal barons' explorations. The
miners are now told the war is not
over and that all war legislation is
still in force, and if reports received
here are correct the government IN
tends to apply existing war measures
not against the owners of the coal
mines but against the coal miners.
'It is almost inconceivable that
government which is proud of its par
ticipation in great war to liberate
suppressed peoples should now under
take to suppress the legitimate aims,
hopes and aspirations of its own peo-
pie.
at is still more strange that ma
ton which may be justly proud of it's
Abraham Lincoln should now reverse
the Application of the great truth he
enunciated when he said that as be-
tween capital and labor, labor should
receive first and foremost considera-
ton"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-11-14
MINERS DON'T AVERAGE 6-HOUR
WORK-DAY NOW.

Washington-"If the miners could
reach the great mass of our citizens
and explain their siX-hour day de-
mand, opposition to this proposal
would disappear" said Edgar Wal
lace, representative of the United
Mine Workers.
"The coal miners" said the trade
unionist, "can show by the United
States geological survey that they
have not averaged 6 hours a day
for II years. Reports by this gov
ernment bureau show that since 1902
the miner has worked from $50 to
228 days a year. The latter figure
applies to 1918 when, under war
stress, the mines were operated more
regular and the men received 228
days employment. Their average
yearly employment since 1902 is 206
days.
"What the miners are really ask
ing is not reduction of hours, but
a guarantee that they will have work
five days a week throughout the
year."
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-11-14

Washington = A worldwide war
against labor is on, and its instigators
are in every country where the work
ers demand living wage. 1t began
the day the armistice was signed and
has now reached stage where all its
bitterness and mercilessness can be
clearly felt. 1t is a most relentless
war and the shame of it is that it is
directed against the wage earners and
farmers, the men who offered their all
to win, and did win, political freedom
for the world.
Every conceivable obstacle is being
interjected. Every charge, every
slur, every invective that will cast
odium on the workers is being pub
lished in every part of the globe where
freemen work. 1t is a we'll organized
campaign of vindictiveness and is in
the interest of establishing Dollar
Government everywhere.
The war against labor in the
United States has become most ven
omous. The emissaries of the oppo
nents of labor who can speak most
effectively to the country are mem
bers of Congress, as they have a ros-
trum from which they can reach most
Of the people. Of the 521 members
Of both houses 351 are lawyers, most
of whom make their living playing
the game of the big corporations.
Lawyers are trained to defeat every
law in the interest of the people. In
Congress they fight every bill that
will help the people. They are the
greatest menace to the country's free
dom, as it is perfectly "legal' for
them to take retainers for those they
can help maintain an industrial autoc-
racy. They do not vote according to
right or wrong but as their masters,
the corporations, dictate
Just now the interests are prepar-
ing to put over some most objection
able legislation They are afraid the
people will wake up and prevent it.
So to divert the attention of the peo-
pie they have drawn a red herring
across the trail to hide the intentions
of Congress.
While the country has it's attention
directed to the prosecution of the
miners for calling a strike to secure
better conditions from profteering
coal operators Congress will quietly
pass bills permitting the robbery of
the citizens or the taking away of
their liberties.

RAILROAD SOLUTION DEMANDS
MORE TIME
Favor the Continuation of Govern
ment Ownership For Two Years
in Order that Question May
be Thoroughly Under
stood

Washington-At conference OF
members of the congressional labor
group, officials of the A. F. of L., its
affiliated bodies and the four great
railroad brotherhoods it was agreed
that proposed anti-strike legislation
should be resisted and that govern
ment control of railroads should be
continued for two years that the peo-
pie may thoroughly understand this
question before final action is taken.
After the meeting President Com
pers made this statement:
During the discussion the spokes-
men of labor outlined the position of
the 4,500,000 workers they represent
ed as follows:
"First-That American labor will
exert it's influence to the utmost
within the limits of the constitution
to defeat the vicious anti-strike pro-
visions of the Cummins' bill and other
measures of similar character.
Second in the opinion of
American labor the return of the
railroads to private ownership at this
time would be grave mistake. I'm
der plans proposed for the return of
the railroads to private operation it
would be followed by increase Of
freight and passenger rates of over
25 per cent. Either result would
shake the industrial fabric of the ma
ton at the time when a war-sick
world is looking for moral, financial
and political leadership.
"Third-In order to avoid these
calamitous consequences the members
of congress present were urged to in
troduce legislation continuing govern
ment control of the roads for two
years from the conclusion of peace.
This will afford the American people
an opportunity to consider the many
solutions of the railroad problem
which have been put forward.
"It was agreed that the legislation
suggested on these questions would
be drafted at the earliest possible
date, and they should be pressed very
earnestly in both houses Of congress,
and that every possible effort will be
made to defeat all legislation which
aims to deny to the wage workers
their right to self expression in mat
ters affecting their freedom"

Plan Anti-Labor Legislation While the
Nation Watches Strikes
Hatred For Workers Whose Sacrifice Made Win
ming the War Possible Now Seen in Sub
tie Campaign While Attention
is sEngrossed in Disputes

gress will enact law giving the rail
roads back to the owners with the
right to increase rates 25 to 80 per
per cent. 1t will contain an anti
strike clause with fines and imprison-
ment for violators. The hue and cry
against the miners and steel workers
was manufactured to give Congress
the opportunity of enacting this legis-
lation while the people are watching
labor developments.
] The publicity campaign began with
the coming to Washington of the
members of the Presidents industrial
commission. The United States Steel
Corporation ordered its agents in Con-
gress to make the denunciation of Ia
Dor more bitter. The publicity di-
rectors of the employers group, one
OF whom was under surveillance dur
ing the war because of his efforts to
aid Germany, kept up a continuous
bcmbardment of Misrepresentation
against the workers.
! Then from every lawyers seat in
Congress came an answering echo
just as vicious as it could be made
Labor was to be crucifed. 1t had
been ordered by the kings of indus
try And those who prosper through
the financial generosity of the
criminal corporations have not lost
an opportunity to add their voices
and votes against the man who
works.
! 1t is bitter war, one in which in
dustrial autocracy and its supporters
will show no mercy. But they made
their first mistake when they sought
to establish government by injunc-
tion, to stop a strike by court order
This was such a colossal blunde1
that those who were led into the
trap to seek the injunction now know
they have been tricked.
Government by injunction will in
crease the growth of bolshevism.
Congressional attacks on the wage
Garner will not make loyal support
ers of the government.
Neither will government by law
yers be long accepted. All labor is
organizing to go into the next po-
litical campaign to defeat its enc
mics and elect its friends. And the
big conference called to be held in
Washington December 13 will start
the campaign not against only the
enemies of labor in Congress but the
enemies of our republic. And the
greatest enemies of the Republic are
in Congress, the labor people charge.

Joint Management
Scheme PunCtured

Boston-Just as saviors of the work
ers are figuring how much publicity
is in the scheme to give labor voice
in management, along comes Editor
Baine of the Shoe Workers Journal
and smashes the latest fad.
Recently the Massachusetts legis-
lature passed law permitting cor
porations to place employees on
boards of directors and the governor
of the state has publicly declared it
is another forward step by this great
commonwealth.
Baine pokes fun at the law and
says it is as humorous as if law
was passed giving him the right to
present his child with an apple. He
shows that the corporations always
had the right to give an employee a
share of stock and then elect him to
the board Of directors.
"But this was too simple" says the
labor editor. "There was no grand
stand play OF limit light stuff about it
as it singular that the corpora
tions represented by the legislator
who introduced this bill has always
avoided dealing with it's employees
on the principle of collective bar
gaining?
eve have not heard of any in
stance in which any employing in
terest has advocated that the prin-
ciple of labor participation in man
agement be applied in dealing with
union employees. Like profit sharing
it seems to be intended only for con-
sumption by non-union employees or a
means by which non-union employers
hope to avoid recognition of and deal
ings with unions of labor.
"For our part, give us collective
bargaining, fully recognized, and we
will have more sympathy with the
trials and troubles of successful bus.
mess management, in the real re.
sponsibilities of which we seek ne
share"

Workers to Discuss
Pressing Problems

Washington-The December 18th
conference of industrial and trans
portation workers, called by the A. F
of L. executive council and the four
railroad brotherhoods, will be a
notable event.
Representative of national and in
ternational affliates of the A. F. of
L. will be present, as will repre-
sentatives of the railroad brother
hoods, to consider, the call states,
the grave dangers affecting the very
foundation of organized labor in this
critical reconstruction period.
1t is intended to take counsel and to
formulate such action as may be es-
sential to safeguard and promote the
rights, interests and freedom of the
wage earners, the workers who form
the great mass of the people of our
republic.
at is imperative" the call con-
tinues, "that the responsible repre-
sentatives of the labor movement
shall, therefore, consider the situation
in the industrial and legislative field
and agree upon fundamental princi-
Piles and a program which the wage
earners will accept in performing
their duties as citizens and at the
same time maintaining the right of
free men in order to conserve human
interest and welfare.
eve conferred with the represent
atives of the various farmers organi-
zations. The conventions of these
several bodies will be held within the
next 80 days The representatives of
the farmers, while in sympathy with
the conference, did not feel that they
had the authority to append their
names to this call. However, formal
communications will be sent to their
conventions inviting them to appoint
representatives to participate in the
conference of December 13 with au-
thority to speak in the name of the
organizations they represent"

LABOR EDITOR IN CONTEMPT

Fort Wayne, Ind.-Editor Bell of

he is cited for contempt of court.
The company wants to establish a

secured an injunction against trade
unionists who suspended work rather
than accept this system.
Editor Bell is now charged with
offensive and indecent" conduct
toward the company's "loyal" en-
