AMERICAN COAL
MINERS LEAD IN
PER MAN OUTPUT:
Government Figures Retute All
Charges That They Are
SIaCkers;; Australia Next.

The individual output Of an Amer
ican coal miner is the largest in the
world. The report of investigations
made by the United States Bureau of
Mines, department of the interior,
covering this subject has just been
issued in Washington. It completely
refutes charges made by captains Of
industry and printed in the corpora
ton daily press that American labor
is slowing down.
For the 18-year period beginning
with 1901 and including 1918, the
average annual production per man
employed underground in the United
States was 843 tons. Other coal-pro-
ducing countries show individual av-
erage output as follows: New South
Wales, 71S tons; Nova Scotia, It's
tons: British Columbia, Gil tons:
Great Britain, 3S3 tons; Germany,
1872 tons: France, 3O2 tons; Austria,
|296 tons; Belgium 236 tons; Japan.
174 tons; India, 178 tons.
Beginning with an average of
729 tons per annum in 1901, miners
in the United States have gradually
increased their output until in 1918
the average per man was 1,134 tons.
These Figures Don't Lie
The report gives some very inter-
esting official information. AS stated
above, in 1918 the American miner
reached the largest production per
man of any period in the history of
coal mining. The closest competitor
Of this country was New South Wales
where the underground worker pro-
duced S14 tons. British Columbia
ranks third with 719 tons and Nova
Scotia came close with ia tons. The
smallest individual output was that
of Japan in 1914, when the average
mined was 121 tons, while in 1901
India showed an average Of 119 tons,
the. latter being the smallest of the
countries under consideration.
During the 18-year period covered
in the report, New South Wales and
Nova Scotia have each averaged
practically the same-718 and It's
tons, respectively. The individual
output for Great Britain until 1910
was above that of Germany, but in
1911 Germany passed Great Britain's
record and has maintained the lead
| ever since that time. France has
showed little change in the miners
/ production, averaging 302 tons prior
to the war. Within the last three
years, however, the daily output OF
| the French miners has decreased.

RA|DE0 UNION OFFICE;

CINCINNATI, Aug. 26.-Striking
machinists got sweet revenge on 1sa-
dore H. Dube, candidate for county
commissioner in the recent primaries.
Dube was backed by one of the sup
posedly influential newspapers in this
city, but his connection was a recent
raid of the offices of the Machinists'
union, prior to their present strike,
was not forgotten by the machinists.
In a list of four candidates, the first
three divided nearly $4,000 votes
equally between them. DUDE received

Must Stand for Right.
THE church cannot be hestant
here. When, as may often happen,
the inclusiveness Of it's fellowship
precludes a corporate judgment on
the part of the whole church, the pull
pit must nevertheless be true to it's
prophetic office. The case is hope
less If employers will not allow col
l}ective action by their workers.
1.-The church must stand for the
:&ight of organization and collective
action, under proper ethical restraint
and safeguards for public welfare. 1t
must do so not only for prudential
reasons, and because it is right, but
because the manhood and freedom of
the workers are at stake.
Not Standing Alone.
I'm insisting on this the churches
are not standing alone. The right of
collective action is recognized as fun
damental by the industrial confer
ence called by the President, i nits
report of March 6, 1920, and also in
the platforms of each of the two
r great political parties. The platform
for American Industry adopted on
May 18, 1920, by the National Associ-
alton Of manufacturers recognizes it
as relative right, ending where in
jury to the public begins.
THE church cannot allow itself to
be- estopped from this course either
by pressure from reactionary employ
ers on the one hand, or by the mani
fest i'evils in the labor movement on
the ;other. 1t must be strong enough
to aattack these evils and resist the
pressure. 1t must urge employers, es-
pefially Christian employers, to work
oHt democratic principles in their es-
Establishments with due time for inves-
ti8ation and experim ent. The import
aAt matter is not just what plan is
followed, but that start is made and
THAT everything that is done be on
EAe road to a definite goal-the de-
ihelopment of democratic factory or
ajanization in which all truly cooper
tte and which is for the benefit of
{1ach and all.
The Law of Struggle.
'The law of struggle or competi-
~tion. as the historic dominant law OF
industry, has pitted employer against
employer, corporation against corpor-
alton, nation against nation. It was
responsible away back for the great
war with it's gigantic economic and
human losses. 1t has pitched capital
ist and employer against the work
ers, and the workers against capital
ist and employer in a struggle which
threatens another cataclysm and al
least the temporary shattering Of ci.
vilization.
Now We want the Golden Rule

Men who know something of the
railroads tell the same story when
they speak their minds. Private own
ersl1ip is going through a new pro-
cess of dissolution, and the end is just
a. matter of time. Every economist
in this country who has discussed the
transportation problem has declared
that the point of safety has-beens
passed in transportation rates, and
that the. higher they go the lower
will railroad revenues fall.
Prophesy Comes True.
1t was preducted when the rail-
roads were returned to private con-
troll that the experience would cost
the nation tidy sum. Estimates of
operations during five months show
that these predictions were entirely
too conservative. The federal treas
ury will be mulct for sum of nearly
$600,000,0o0 to pay operating deficits
guaranteed by the Cummins- Esch
bill. In other words, it will cost the
government more for six months Of
private operation than for 2s months
of government control.
After Sept. 1 this burden will be
transferred directly to the pockets of
the people. They will be compelled
to pay in increased freight and pas
senger rates the large sums that have
been coming directly out of the fed
eral treasury. In addition, it will be
learned that in addition to this direct
tax for railroad use, the consuming
public will be compelled to pay four
OR five times over in multiplied rates
and the profits that are taken as they
are passed from middleman to mid
dleman.
Reaping Big Harvest.
This is the; harvest that is being
reaped from the Cummins-E -Esch bill.
II was charged that it was the most
iniquitous legislation ever approved
by congress. It promises also to be
the most burdensome. The public
welfare has been completely sacrifice
ed to the demands Of private greed.
The whole nation has been crushed
under heavy burden for no better
reason than that private railway
managers may continue to badly
serve the public and deal generously
with investors.
There is certain to be reaction
to the transportation act that will
permanently return to private life all
those who were in any wise respons-
ible for it. The American peopl0,
proverbialy goodnatured, will not for.
ever tolerate a situation that 20
shamelessly disregards their interest.
When the full enormity of the Cum.
mihs-Esch bill is brought home to
the nation the end of private owner.
ship will be in sight. Then the public
will calmly and seriously take up the
only rational alternative, government
ownership and democratic control of
the railroads. , - g.
We are paying more than a billion
dollars a year for a fetish-the false
theory that there are inherent bene-
fits in private ownership and that its
boasted initiative means service ana
economy of operation. 1t is just the
other way round, a fact that is ap-
parent to everybody who has serious
lyt studied the question.
