IS CRY SINCERE?
Does the Protect the Pub
lie" Tribe Mean 1t?

Chicago. We are hearing a great
deal in these days of reconstruction
about the wrongs and hardships that
are inflicted on the general public by
workers who go on strike, says Pres
ident Perkins Of the Cigar Makers
international Union, writing in the
official magazine Of that organization.
Legislation is proposed and enact
ed to prohibit strikes. Proponents OF
this class of legislation are loud in
aheir declarations that it is to pro
tect the public
I'VE, on the other hand, hear very
little about the wrongs and hardships
inflicted on the general public by the
operator of mine or mill who has
the power, and exercises it, to price
the necessitines Of life beyond the
reach Of the average purse.
There has been no strike in the
sugar industry, in the meat industry,
in the flour mills, nor have milk cows
failed to deliver the goods, yet ac-
cordinc to the annual reports of the
gigantic combinations of capital con-
trolling these industries prices We're
never higher and profits We're never
larger than for the past few months.
Honest analysis Of the causes Of
present inflated prices will give organ
lied labor a clean bill and absolutely
fix the blame where it justly belongs,
on the shoulders of the profiteer"

COAL MINERS OUT
Gun Man Rule and Non
Union Conditions the
Cause

Williamson, w. Va.-Coai miners
in this vicinity have suspended work
rather than endure gun men rule and
non-unon conditions. The coal own
ers have refused to discuss a settle
ment of the strike with representa-
tives of the United States department
of labor and the wives and children Of
victimized miners are living IN tent
colonies as a result These families
have been evicted from company
houses.
The miners are backed by the trade
union movement of West Virginia.
These workers have made repeated
appeals to the state authorities and to
the public conscience against the rule
Of murderous private armies main
tanned by the coal owners, but to no
avail. Killings are frequent working
conditions are unbearable and dis
charge awaits any miner known to fa-
vor organization.
The miners have been forced to ac-
cept the challenge of these industrial
bandits. Governor Cornwall remains
blind to the coal owners anarchy, and
is devoting his time to perfecting the
American constitutional association.
of which he is president
In recent circular to its mem-
bers this association denounced tht
union shop and declared; THE Amer
lean constitutional association is or
ganizad to preserve reverene e fol

250000,0O0 Francis n. Sisson, vice
president of the Guaranty Trust COM
pany Of New York, told the silver
jubilee convention of the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, at New
York. The chief danger in the pres
ent situation, Mr.. Sisson said, is that
the deslrability of low prices as an
end IN itself may be so exaggerated
as to lead to the attempt to force
prices down through harmful meas
ures for the control of credit.
