Statement Of Mine Workers

Indianapolis, Oct. 29.-''The conference
Of United Mine Workers. composed of
members of the international executive
board, the scale committee of the cen
trail competitive district. and the dis.
Of America. gave most profound con-
sheraton to the statement of the Pres
ident OF the United States which ap.
peared in the public press recently rela-
tive to the impending strike Of btu
minous miners set for November 1. NJ
communication was received by the in
ternational officers of the United Mine
Workers of America from either .le
President or any representative Of the
federal government.
"A oanva~s Of the entire situation
shows that a strike of bituminous min
ers cannot be avoided. A regulall "
constituted convention Of representa-
tives Of the United Mine Workers held
st Cleveland. Ohio. on September q or
dcrei a strike Of oituminous mine work.
ers to become effective November 1, in
the event a wage scale was not nego-
fiated by that time. The highest au.
tho'ity in the organization has acted
IN this manner and no representatives
Of the organisation have authority to
set such action aside. The facts ere
that tho same supreme authority which
ordered the pending strike is the same
"a that which approved the contract
which now has expired.
The responsibility for the strike rests
with the coal operators They have re-
cussd to negotiate a wage agreement.
notwithstanding tho fact the minis
workers representatives have urgei and
oeseeched them to do so. The funda-
mental causes which prompted the mine
workers to take this drastic action ere
deep asated. For two years their wages
have remained stationary. They appeal.
ed one year ago to the federal fuel ad.
ministrator. DR.. Garfield. and from him
to the President Of the United States,
fsr an ilcrsase In wages sufficient to
meet the increase in the cost Of neces.
saries Of life.
Their appeal was rejected and
their request refused. Notwith.
standing this. they continued mining
coal until now their contract ex-
pires. when they are determined that
their grievances must be adjusted
In q reasonably satisfactory manner.
"The courts have held that the
working men have q right to strike
and may quit work either singly or
collectively for the purpose Of re-
dressing grievances and riehtinx
wages. The constitution and guar.
antees Of the this free government
give men the right to work or to
quit work individually or collectively.
THE mine workers therefore are

by the constitution and which can
not be taken away BY the represen-
Of government when they
quit work or when they refuse to
work until their grievances are ad-
justed. The mine workers repressn.

Public Information?

In an article which sets forth The
elaborate and extraordinarily success
full propaganda work done by Ameri-
ca for the undoing Of the Germans,
Brother George Creel, recently re-
signed chairman of the Committee on
Public Information, feels obliged to
heighten its Importance by inducing
the impression that it was no military
victory which the Allied Armies ach-
ieved on November IL.
BY way of premise he says:
ION the day that the Germans sign
ed the armistice accepting defeat IS
overwhelming as their ambitions had
been colossal, they had two million
men under arms on the Western front
alone. This army was well equipped
with supplies and munitions and behind
it still stretched line after line almost
impregnable by reason of natural
strength and military science. Moth
ing is more apparent than that de-
fensive warfare could have been wag-
ed for months, taking a tremendouc
toll in Allied and American lives"
The italics are ours. The facts are
Mr.. Creel's. They viii be read with
considerable surprise and amusement
by Marshall Foch and members of the
German High Command, to whom they
may come as news. Stars and Stripes.

WHEN MONEY WON'T COUNT

The time is near when money will
not count, Charles NJ Schwab says,
and he is glad of it, because riches
never gave him any happiness. He
said at the Salmagundi Club ban
quet of New York: Humanity is
entering an era where money will
count for nothing and humanitarian
ism for everything. There will be no
rich or poor. The aristocracy of the
future will be men who have done
something for humanity.
"The rich men are learning this
and | am a rich man, I'm told. But
there has never been time IN my
life that my riches gave me any hap
piness. 1t is the doing of something
useful that has made me happy. I'll
bet the poor man has had more JOY out
of life than my riches have brought
| me. Why, there's Carnegie-he's got
more fun out of helping others by
giving away his riches than by keep
| ing them"

THE REASON WHY.

Because it went ahead and resumed
business with confident energy, at a
time when such resumption was for
the good of the Nation as well as
itself, the automobile industry in the
United States deserves the reward
that is said to have come already in its
volume of trade. The recent automo-
bile show in Boston, Massachusetts
alone is said to have sold cars to an
estimated value of $750,000; and all
the automobile makers together are re-
ported to have work enough on hand
to keep their army of more than $780,
900 employees busy for year. The
situation is the more fortunate be-
cause it stabilizes kindred industries.
