SYNOPSIS OF ARGUMENT
OF MI { WO RK ERS TO
THE COAL COMMISSION

Scranton, Pa, July 12.-Represen-
| tatives of the mine workers today re.
newed their argument before the an.
thracite coal commission for the ad-
mission in evidence Of seven Of their
exhibits, which deal chiefly with al
legged monopolistic control and profit.
eering in the hard coal industry. The
charges were included in a statement
containing IS points, or exhibits, pre-
sented TO the commission last week
by W. Jett Lauck, but the operators
objected to the submission of the seven
points dealing with profiteering and
monopoistic control, and the com
mission still had the question of their
admission under consideration.
In their arguments today, the mine
workers admitted that the power and
authority Of the commission extends
only TO such issues ss are formally
submitted to it by the operators and
miners, but declared it has an addi-
tional implied jurisdiction, which is
only limited by the public interest"
Under this implied jurisdiction the
miners declared, that the Commission
may not be able to act directly, but it
can nevertheless exert its power indi-
rectly by advice or recommendation
to specific agencies having direct
power or jurisdiction.
Obviously, the commission has no
! direct jurisdiction over profits and
prices of coal companies, or rates
and profits OF transportation compan
los. There is one very important
point in our evidence, however, which
is directly in line with the specific
jurisdiction of the commission.
zone of the IS issues directly sub
mitted to adjudication is the question
of union recognition.
'You will recall in this connection
that the United States Steel Corpora
ton has recently opposed any form
Of collective bargaining among their
employees and especially collective bar
gaining on the basis Of union recog-
milton.
"The predominating influence back
Of the steel corporation is the banking
house Of J. T. Morgan and Company.
This same banking house is the
predominating influence in the anthra.
cite influence in the anthracite coal
monopoly. The mine workers feel that
If the matter Of union recognition had
| been left to the local managers and
officials and Independent operators
with wnon their representatives have
come in contact in the anthracite
field the recognition of their union
would have been an accomplished fact
They say their failure TO secure
! formal recognition has been due to
absentee landlordism and the sinister
formal influence of these extreme re.
dictionary and misguided financial in
terests which are hackers Of and
really control the labor policies Of the
anthracite monopoly. They wish to
submit this fact to the commission
and also TO make It known to the
public"

Been Increase In Felonies.
NEW YORK, March 30-Lax en-
forcement of the prohibition amend
ment and the Volstead law is reported
by the association opposed to national
prohibition in states that were wet
previous to war time and the consti-
tutional prohibition. The results of
a survey made in all the state were
presented in a report issued by the
association. The essential parts are:
Constitutional prohibition has been
enforced most rigidly where the pro-
hibition enforcement organization be-
heved it could be most easily enforced
and where it was believed that there
was a sentiment for rigid enforcement
The most rigid enforcement has been
in the states that have been dry or
approximately dry for several years.
cit has been notorious that the peo-
pile of the so-called dry states have
been able by hook or crook to obtain
what they wanted to drink They
pushed the button and the bootleggers
did the rest. They know now what
constitutional prohibition is and they
don t like it.
There has been no attempt at rigid
enforcement in most of the larger cit
les because the sentiment in those cen
ters of population is overwhelmingly
opposed to constitutional prohibition.
If one knows how and where and has
the price he has little difficulty in OBJ
tanning his favorite tipple in New
York, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans,
San Francisco, Philadelphia, or in any
other of the larger cities.
Prohibitionists have endeavored to
show that crime has materially de-
creased. That is not true The figures
do show pronounced falling off in
the class of cases Familiarity known as
drunk and disorderly,' but on the
other hand the figures of crimes of the
magnitude of felonies have greatly in
creased. The successful and prosper
Gus safebreaker or second story worker
doesn't usually get drunk before he
| begins work.
''Three months of investigation
shows that the saloon has as few
| friends in the country as constitutional
| prohibition, and that what the people
generally most desire is the right t.
regulate their own affairs in their owl
communicate determine by theiI
own votes whether they shall live we
or dry"
