WEARY OF FIGHT,

Opposition to Collective Bargain.
Ing Broken in South by Firm
Tired Of Fighting.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 2s.-"we. are
weary of attempting to operate on
a non-union basis and want to reach
an agreement with the. international
Molders' union," is the substance Of
statement to President Valentine
Of that organization by a representa-
tive of the o. K. Stove and Range
company, Louisville. KY.
The conference resulted in an I'M
derstanding and the molding depart
ment is, now strictly union. ~ r.:
The Importance ct this voluntary
action, by the company can be appre-
ciated when it Is recalled that this
concern is one Of the best known stove
companies in the south. and since a
molders' strike ~ years ago has been
and has been. pointed to
by anti-union manufacturers as justi-
tying their opposition to organized
labor.
The company's alleged success was
frequently commented on at meetings
Of southern foundry men and the
plant has been the mecca Of other
employers to secure information on
the company's success. But this
success 1s now shown to be a sham
the company acknowledges that
non-unionism does not pay.
Officers Of this international union
declare that the incident is Of tre-
mendous Importance to the southern
stove industry.

SCRANTON COAL Miners
ASK SO PER CENT RAISE

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 28.-An-
thracite mine workers in this district
have asked that their new agree
ment raise wages 60 per cent. Other
demands include a five and one
half days work week and: a six-hour
day. The present agreement expires
in March, next year.
In an address to the convention,
President Kennedy Of adjoining dis
trict No. 2, declared that mine work.
ers should have the shortest work
day and the largest wages Of any
craft in the country. In referring to
the charge that high wages are re-
sponsib1e for present coal costs he
stated that the cost Of transporting
coal from Scranton to New York or
Philadelphia is greater than the cost
Of producing the coal and loading it
on cars for shipment.
