STEEL WORKERS. STILL
VIGOROUSLY HOLDING OUT

News relative to the coal strike has
for the time placed the steel strike
on the shelf. Scarcely word about
the strike has appeared in the daily
papers of late. However, information
received by The Labor World, Indicate
that-the strike is still mighty effective.
Word from Clarion, Altoona, Cleve-
land Buffalo, Pittsburgh and other
steel centers conveys the intelligence
that but few breaks in the ranks of
the strikers have taken place. The
steel mills are. still throwing out plenty
of smoke. but precious little steel. In
Buffalo at the Lackawanna plant the
normal output is 115 cars a day. Their
present output is Is cars. Formerly
40 switching crews were employed,
Now but 13 are engaged. No ore is
being received at the plant.

MINERS FORCED LIKE SLAVES BACK TO WORK
MINERS DON'T AVERAGE
= 6-H0uR WQRk.DAY NOW

, WASHINGTON Nov. 13. -"If
the miners could reach the great
mass of our citizens; and explain
their six-hour day temand, oppo-
sition to- this PROPOSAL would dis
appear" said Edga4 wallace, rep
resentative of thef United Mine
Workers. r..
''The coal miners, said the trade
uni0nist, "can shoW by the United
States geological sqfvey that they
have not averaged fix hours a day
for II years. Reports by this gov
ernment bureau show that since
1902 the miner has worked from
$50 to 22s days 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 aver
age yearly employment since 1902
Is 2O6 days.
''What the miners are really ask
ing is not a reduction OF hours, but
a guarantee that they will have
work six days week throughout
the year." !

PlNElLAS WINS BIGGERS SUIT

st. Petersburg, Fla, April "a. :
When ]. S. Davis and w. L. Pierce
attorneys for Pinellas county re
ceived a message from Tallahassee
Saturday, announcing that they had
won a verdict in the supreme cour,
in the case of Architect Willis r. Big
gers, of Lakeland, against the county
there was ended long-fought legal
battle, tangled up in three cases in
which the county stood to lose some
thing like $225,0O0.
The message from the state. capital
reads:
THE court has today affirmed the
judgment of the circuit court for
pinellas county in the case of Willis
R. Biggers, plaintiff in error. vs..
Pinellas county, defendant in error. .
9 blggers' EnOrf Fails
Expressed in ordinary everyday
language this message means that
Architect Biggers has failed IN his
effort to have set aside the verdict
Of the circuit court favoring the
county. The verdict was not unex.
pected as the two other associated
cases have been won in like manner
by the county. Attorneys Davis and
Pierce were much elated at the Anal
winding up of these cases which grew
out Of the attempt of former board
of county commissioners to build a
court house at Clearwater by evading
the law through a subterfuge of max
ing repairs to the old wooden struc-
ture then in use. Since that time and
while this litigation was pending the
whole matter has been legally settled
and the fine court house structure
which now serves the county has
been erected.
Biggers was the architect who
planned the "remodeling" Of the old
court house and was suing for about
$4,000 in fees.
The other two cases against the
county which we're recently decided
in the supreme court on appeals OF a
similar character were those Of the
contractors and the First National
bank of Lakeland,
Contractors Suit
The contractors, I. F. Jones, doing
business as the Barlow Construction
Co.. J. S. Miller CONSTRUCTION Co
md David Shaw, sought to collect
,ome $4,000, which was their charge
or "remodeling' the old structure
The First National Bank of Lakeland
lad bought claims which Biggers as
,igned to the defunct State Bank OF
lakeland, amounting to about $4,000
md sought to collect them from the
county. j.,
All of the cases hinged upon the
anne point and after the first hac
,een decided by the supreme court
here was little doubt about the oth-
rs. A large factor in the case was

Would Muzzle the Press?

TNRESS censorship is provided for in
~ the Kenyon bill now pending before
u congress. AT least that is the claim
of the Woman's National Economic COM
mittee of New York. The charge is so
serious that it is entitled to the closest in
vestigation. If the Kenyon bill will muzzle
the press of this country, the chances for
its passage are exceedingly SLIM Freedom
of the press has been liberty of which
every broad-minded American is Justly
proud. Any attempt to muffle it will hard
ly meet with approval among a liberty low
ing people.
On the face of the bill it is proposed to-
license only the distribution of livestock
market news, which means that all those
who are writing about the livestock mar
ket, will have to secure permit from the
secretary of agriculture to do so and that
official shall have the right to withdraw the
license if he fails to approve of the sub
stance matter written.
Having power to control the livestock
news writer's, the secretary of agriculture
can control the financial news writer's. He
may even extend that power to political
news writer's and so on. The Woman's
committee well says the greatest protec-
ton Of the liberties of people is free
press and the greatest dread of all dark
forces, whether in business or in politics,
is the indignation of people aroused by
facts published in press that no official
OF the government, no matter how high,
can control.

Timely Visit

lying Albert and Queen Elizabeth Of
TX Belgium are enroute to the United
LIN States on the U. s. s. George Wash
ington. Their visit to this country is most
timely. They will be received with open
arms by Americans who have nothing but
admiration for the brave stand they took
in the world war when Belgium hurled de-
,fance at the German military machine
then crushing everything before it. No
country suffered Like Belgium. Yet it
stood bravely out against the invader and
by doing so gave Great Britain and France
time in which to rush men to the front to
stem the tide. We have heard much about
the oft-disputed point as to who won the

war, but the world must give little Belgium
credit for part Of the giants share.
Among the many heroes who came out
of the war unscratched, King Albert un-
questionably leads them all. Before being
ia king, he is first Of all manly man.
Fighting for every inch of ground ne was
forced to give up, King Albert delayed and
harrassed the German army at every turn.
He saw city after city in Belgium fall dur
ing the early stages Of the war; He wit
messed the rape Of his subjects, the brutal
murder of women and children. Brave at
heart he steeled himself against all this.
Four years later he was given his reward
for he marched triumphant at the head of
his forces into those cities taken by theI
Germans and placed under the iron rule
of militarism.
Queen Elizabeth is not to be forgotten.
She proved brave companion to her hero
husband. 1t was her duty to administer
to the sick and suffering and do what she
could for her miserable subjects. Today
she is queen among queens.
To America is given the credit of rushing
succor to Belgium. American food fed the
hungry. American clothes saved thousands
from death by cold and exposure The
American Red Cross proved it's ability to|
meet any emergency, when it took charge
of the Belgium situation.
It is to pay their respects to Americans
and to show their appreciation of what was
done for their country that King Albert
and Queen Elizabeth are coming to the
United States. They will find Americans
proud of their sacrifices and ardent
admirers of their bravery. Nothing will,
nor should be, left undone to show the high
regard in which they are held.
