CONVENIENCE"
OF PUBLIC
Overlooked When "Other"
Side is Concerned

New York.-Federal Judge Mayer
has granted the request of the re-
ceiver Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company that operation on nine lines
Of that system be indefinitely sus-
pended because they are losing money.
The public service commissioner or,
dered the receiver to operate the lines
for the public convenience. This
order has been set aside by the court.
Trade unionists call attention to the
federal courts oversight of '|the pub
lies convenience" stock phrase
when workers say they are losing
money and possibly tie up the street
car system that wage increases may
be granted Ii that case injunctions,
police and strikebreazers are forth
coming.
In the present case the public is
given less consideration than in strike
times, for no attempt IS made to op-
crate the cars. The corporation makes
a complete tie-up By suspending oper-
ations, because it says it is losing
money
The local press treats the affair as
"a business proposition" and all
ands, from the court down, forget
their strike time war cry.

Gently declared in favor of the non

Writing in American Federationist,
current issue, President Gompers
says:
For several years the national as
sociation of manufacturers functioned
as labor-baiting organization. It
sought the destruction of the labor
movement It's policy was to prevent
by any means legislation in the inter

BIT it had this at least to its credit,
its open enmity to the cause of labor
and justice. The investigation by thu
senate and the house of representa-
tives brought the national association
Of manufacturers into contempt.
Since then it's activities, if there have
been such, have been insignificant, un

BRITISH Mine
STRIKE
Comes Only After Several
Attempts to Reach Agree
ment Failed
All Miners Ask For is Fifty
Cents a Day Increase

London, England "A nationwide
strike of miners followed a referen-
eum rejection Of a compromise affect
cd by the miners officials, the govern
ment and coal owners The vote was
Isl ,428 for to 635,098 against. The
miners officials had postponed carry
ing out a previous strike vote in the
hope that an eleventh hour adjust
ment might be agreed to.
The miners went into the last con
ference with nothing but a wage de-
mand They abandoned other issues
and presented the one claim that an
increase Of 2 shillings $50 cents) day
is necessary to meet a 162 per cent
advance government figures in the
cost of living. From the beginning of
The war to date, miners rates have
oeen advanced 125 per cent.
The compromise, which was reject
ed by the referendum, provided for
higher rates if more coal is mined
The miners agree that greater pro-
duction is desirable, but refuse to
accept the theory that a living wage
should be regulated by output They
insist that the coal industry should
assure them a living wage, and that
that the tremendous profits of the
coal owners is proof that the indus
try can afford this increase.
Behind this strike is the usual story
of exploitation and enormous profits
by the coal owners. Recently the
government appointed the so-called
Sankey commission to investigate the
coal industry, and it was understood
that the commissions findings would
be the basis for remedial coal legis-
lation. Several reports We're made,
ard all of them indicated dissatisfac-
tion with present conditions. The
miners representatives favored ma
tionalization of the mines, while 9th
er reports declared for state control.
Nothing came of the recommended
| tlOns. Hearings by the COMMISSION
showed that many coal owners had
no title to their coal lands, which has
been in their families for years. They
only knew they had them and had no
idea how they were acquired. This
evidence, followed by the publication
cf terrific profits by the coal owners
has added to the unrest. It is claim
ed that prices on export coal means
three times the profit of pre-war
times, while the remaining surplus
goes into the treasury to relieve from
taxation those who would otherwise
be compelled to pay.
The miners originally proposed thar
this surplus be used to raise wages

800 PER CENT PROFIT

Attorney Gallagher, who says many
of these places are selling food at

fetal, that business men dependent
on the public for livelihood can go
from day to day without conscience
and common honesty Ievying tribute

that their prices represent"
The hotel men reply that only by
the strietest economy are they able
to serve food "at anything like reason
able prices"
