CONDEMNS COAL
 OPERATORS PLAN
Industrial Organizer Says it Prevents Collective Bar
 gaining By Workers

William L. Harrison, international or ganizer of the United Mine Workers of America, connected with District No. 70, which has jurisdiction of all local unions in Alabama, has prepared statement in which he condemns the industrial rela- tions plan adopted by Alabama coal op era tors and made effective April 1.
 He contends that it is designed to de- stroy the United Mine Workers of Amer
 ca, and to prevent the miners from or ganizing into a union of their craft, and to prevent the establishment of a bona fide and genuine system of collective bar gaining.
 The proposition Is wholly imprac- ticable and impossible" Mir. Harrison says, fin that the mine workers of this district know full we'll that the proposi- ton will be completely dominated and influenced by the coal companies and their superintendents and foremen and that it cannot possibly benefit them. They know that it does not furnish any pro- lection or support in the way of collec- tive action toward properly and effective ly serving them in the settlement of dis putes or any other question that may arise within the purview of this propos;- tion. It is the most autocratic pro- gramme ever inaugurated by employers to stamp out legitimate trade union movement and collective bargaining be- tween employe and employers in this country"
 MT. Harrison asserts that the proposi- ton is the creation of the operators Tn which the employees had no part, and declares the miners will not accept 1t.
 He states the operators have not com piled with the recommendations of the coal commission appointed by the Presi- dent in the matter of increased wages. The increases to pick and machine men and 20 per cent in yardage, room turning and dead work have been granted, MT. Harrison says, but the s1 day flat in crease to all classes of day work is not given in the schedule published by the operators, the advance to these being only 20 per cent.

 RATES FOR SOUTH
Civic Association Committee Meets to Help Prevent
 Discrimination

At meeting of the transportation and traffic committee of the Civic As= sociation, to be held this week on call of Chairman H. H. Shell, some of the larger problems affecting the local dis trict and the entire south will be taken up tor probable action.
 One of the very first matters to re- ceive attention will be the fight that is being made upon the newly estab- lished freight rates from the mid west to the south Atlantlo, and gulf ports and reverse on shipments for export or import.
 |. The Civic Association has already begun movement to unite the interior points of the south to progressively sup port the ports of the south in resisting the attack of the New York State Chamber of Commerce, he Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and other eastern lines, as well as the commercial in- terests of the eastern ports upon the re- cent order of the railroad administra tion putting the southern ports on a rate parity with the eastern ports.
 Notice has already been given the in- terstate commerce commission that the equal rates will be attacked and the advantage of the southern ports in com petition for the middle west trade is to be taken away if the attack is suc- cessful
 The acute car shortage in the Bir- mingham district will also receive the attention of the committee It has been frequently charged that the dis trict is being discriminated against in the allotment of cars It was for an attempted solution of this question that f K t 4a1 n, a week ago by he Civic Association, and additional duties were assigned so that other fundamental transportation mat ters affecting the district will be in- vestigated.
 The committee is composed of Fl. IF She'll chairman; Wilbur B. Lewis, c. E. Beasley, Jay Smith, G. T. Wofford, j. ". Angel, J. E. Taylor, Duff. Green, Charles Plosser and J. J. Jackson.

the problem there, he says. but with tion will be better.
 Mir. McGinty cites these points in letter to Senator Pomerene, of Ohio. wfp made complaints relative to the alleged misuse of coal cars. The letter says:
 For some time there has been shortage of automobile cars. As a con- sequence certain automobile companies which use coal have appropriated coal cars for loading automobiles This mat ter was recently taken up with the rep resentatives of automobile manufactur- CTS and the latter where such loading would take the open top car into the territory of the railroad owning the car. Efforts are being made to minimize the misuse of open top cars and to confine their use as far as practicable to the transportation of coal.
 Tt is, of course, unfortunate that rail- roads find it necessary occasionally to confiscate coal for their own use. It is that typical instances of con- fiscation were made by the railroads to secure a necessary fuel supply It is true, however, that coal is sometimes di- verted to industries and consumers which are regarded as entitled to priority by reason of the fact that their business is essential to the public welfare.
 The ildTheu mcred|St III bHiuihS anu construction work since the armistce has increased the demand for open cars for the transportation of sand, gravel and other material used in such work The question of assigning box cars for use in Of these materials has been and is receiving consideration and it is hoped that some relief may be at- fcrded in the immediate future.
 The heavy snows and the bad weather conditions which have prevailed during the past winter have, of course, tended 10 make the car supply situation more difficult to handle. With the approach of warmer weather there should be a marked improvement. In conclusion 1 wish to assure you that this general sit- nation is receiving the attention of the commission and that every reasonable effort will be made to bring about im-

NEED OF THE HOUR.

If you are inclined to be pessimisti
as to the future, forget it. The countr,
is in need of something better thar
pessimism AZ this time-and this com
munity is part of this country
This is period of readjustment ant
reconstruction, and no country car
survive such time without serious
disagreements, dissention and con
fusion.
, We are undergoing our share iof il
now, and there will be more to follow
before we can hope to become our
normal selves again.
| We of this town are but an atom as
compared to the whole country, but the
welfare of the nation is as sacred to
us as it is to the residents of the great
est metropolis in the land.
We should each strive to do our
utmost toward stablizing conditions
and restoring commerce to level
where it can be maintained with
justice and safety.
Produce-economize
Those are the three paramount re-
quirements of the day. They represent
the only manner in which it is possible
to continue prosperity without first
undergoing a disastrous period of
financial and commercial depression.
1t is apparent that with few ex.
ceptions the country as whole under
stands and appreciates the situation
fairly well, and is disposed to take
such action as necessity requires.
Let 1t be said that we of this COM
munity are among those who are
periodically endeavoring to bring
order out of confusion-that we have
a clear perception of the duty of the
hour and a determination to perform
that duty.
1t is not necessary that we become |
in our expenditures. or that
we deprive ourselves of any of the
necessities or reasonable Injuries of
life. The situation does not call for
such an extreme.
But produce-economize
That means not only the return to
4 sane commercial standard in the
future. but far greater and
'etter country in the years to come.
