varied from $1.25 to $3.50 a ton,
and he gave in detail the basis of his
own calculations as a practical miner
that the miner gets SO cents for each
ton he mines. When this coal sells
at $12.75 ton, or even as high as
S14.50, both miners and consumers
justly become suspicious of the whole
industry, and accordingly he sug-
gested that the government should
take over four anthracite mines and
one coal washery, in order that a
practical experiment can be conduct
ed TO ascertain the exact costs of
producing and marketing ton of
coal in small, medium and large
veins. l add to that the suggestion
that a like experiment be made in
the bituminous coal industry. Both
the United Mine Workers of America
and the operators should be repre-
sented in the management of such
experimental mines, but absolute con-
troll should lie in the government so
that there could be no question as
to the impartiality and reliability of
the results reported from time to
time.
There is ample precedent for the
governments doing what we ask, for
the government, through the Depart
ment of Agriculture, conducts expert
mental farms and builds experiment
tai roads, and during the war. we
learned that the government can do
anything and everything in any and
every line of industry. The Ferry
Plan would cost the government moth
ing, for the money invested would
be returned to the treasury in prof
its on the coal produced and mar
keted.
Lest the objection be raised that
this proposal is but an entering
wedge toward the naturalization of
all the mines, | may say that in
my judgment the operators would
find it the best insurance against ma
tionalization, provided they coop

learned, applied and profited by the
lessons it would teach

doubts.
But a movement of the American
people. in rebuke of both the sub
servient Democratic and Republican
parties, would not be the usual
third party"-it would be the Ma
tion seizing again its own control
out of unworthy hands.
The old parties have no divine
right What a party convention
does, need not be received Loyalty, as
if it were an act of government.
The people now know-all Of the
people know-that the last two ma
tional conventions were deliberate
caucuses, secret in their real work,
for the purpose of putting over" on
the people something that the people
do not want, and against which they
will be in rebellion before another
four years.
Whether the people will take su-
pinely what is given them, or eXer-
else their free power to name their
own candidate and make their own
platform; whether they will require
that their nose be rubbed still deeper
in the contempt which the politicians
have for them, or will make an end
of the present race of politicians at
once, is for the immediate future to
reveal.
viii there be a cleanup at Wash
ington under Cox or under Harding?
Certainly there will be no custer of
the secret rulers of the United
States under Republican or a Dem
ocratic regime.
If the people want cleanup, they
must act at once, they must act de-
liberately, they must act without
reference to the precedents set by
the discredited parties, and they must
act with a confidence in their su-
preme control over all their affairs.

GOVERNMENTAL
EXPERIMENTAL
COAL MINING
Urged Upon the Government BY
the United Mine Workers

Scranton, Pa, July 9-Governmen-
tai acquisition and operation of eX-
perimental coal mines, both anthra-
cite and bituminous, is urged in a
proposal laid before the Anthracite
Coal Commission today by Thomas
Kennedy, president of District No. Z
United Mine Workers of America.
AS precedents for this departure Mr.
Kennedy cited the operation of eX-
perimental farms and the building of
experimental roads by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and as his
strongest argument in support of his
suggestion he declared that the time
had come to let the public know the
exact truth about the basic facts
about mining-manageme equip
ment, costs and profits.
Mr.. Kennedy's suggestion is known
as the Ferry Plan," taking its
name from Neal Ferry, chosen by
President Wilson to represent the
miners on the Anthracite Coal Com
mission, who first proposed it at the
recent tri-district convention of an
thracite miners held at Wilkes
Barre. That convention approved
and adopted the Ferry Plan, and the
Anthracite Coal Commission is now
asked to incorporate in its decision
in the present case recommendation
to President Wilson that the govern
ment go into the coal mining busi-
ness. Lest the operators fear that
this would mean step toward the
naturalization of all the mines Mr..
Kennedy said he believed the adop-
tion of the plan would be the best
insurance against naturalization,
provided the operators co-operated
in the experiment and profited by
the lessons learned therefrom. His
statement to the Commission was as
follows:
"The controversy in this case as
to the character of evidence prop
erly to be laid before the Commission
and as to the reliability of data and
statistics submitted by either side
impels me to call the Commission
attention to the Ferry Plan for gov
ernmental acquisition and operation
of experimental mines, and to urge
that the Commission incorporate in
| it's decision a recommendation to the
President of the United States that
the Government adopt and carry out
the Ferry Plan.
"The time has come when the pub
lie must know the exact truth about
the basic facts of mining-manage
ment, equipment, costs and profits
if we are to hope for stability in the
industry and square deal for the
mine workers and the consumers of
coal. The Ferry Plan takes its
name from our distinguished and re-
spected representative on this Com
mission, Mr.. Neal Ferry, who first
proposed it at the tri-district con-
vention of anthracite mine workers
held recently at Wilkes-Barre
"As Mr.. Ferry told our conven-
ton, after thirty years of 'investiga-
tions' the government itself does not
know the first thing about mining
the cost of getting out one ton of
coal. He showed that official figures

Wage Award Will
Be Voted Upon By
All Rail Workers

With assurance that an award will
be handed down by the Railroad La
Dor Board on or before July 20, the
general chairman of the sixteen
standard railroad organizations have
been called to meet in Chicago, Mon
day, July 10. 1t is estimated that
about 1900 committeeman and rep
resentatives will be present, practi-
cally the same personnel which met
in Washington last fall to canvass
the wage situation. One general
committeeman represents each craft
upon each division of all the rail
roads in the United States.
This important meeting is called
in Chicago in order that represen-
tatives of every class of railroad
employees will be present to pass
upon the wage award made by the
board.
To Take Referendum
Should this award be deemed salts
factory it will be submitted to a ref
erendum vote of the 100000 en-
ployes comprising the sixteen stand
ard railroad organizations. This is
in conformity with an agreement
reached at the meeting held in Wash
ington when it was determined that
the award should be submitted to
the entire membership of the various
branches of employees for final ap-
proval.
This will in no wise interfere with
the present normal operation of the
roads, as the award is retroactive to
May 1.
There is a feeling among officials
Of the railroad organizations that the
award will prove to be satisfactory
in the amount of increases granted,
Return to Their Jobs
Comparatively few railroad en-
ployes are now on vacation" Off
cials of the several organizations
sent out circular letters some two or
three weeks ago announcing that un-
less on the job the men would not be
entitled to pay dating back to May
/. This had the effect of bringing
large numbers of "vacationists" back
to work, realizing that their future
standing and back pay depended upon
compliance with these instructions.
No further announcements have
been made by the wage board, the
nine members of which have been
working diligently at headquarters
in Chicago on the big task before
them.

The Railways Are
Disintegrating

To check, as far as possible, the
rapidly rising tide of opposition to
private ownership of railroads, re-
sulting from the complete failure of
transportation under its present
management, the railroad executives
have organized Zone big union. and
have planned to make desperate
last stand for the perpetuation of
the right to exploit.
The meeting was held recently in
New York behind closed doors and is
said to be the most largely attended
gathering of railroad officials in his
tory. The situation was reviewed
and program was mapped out
which has for it's object the resump-
tion of propaganda in favor of pri-
vate control of railroads. 1t was
admitted by spokesman, according to
sions, that the executives appreciate
the seriousness of the situation and
admitted that, unless something was
done Immediately to check the clamor
of farmers, shippers and others who
are victimized by reason of the rail-
roads inability to operate efficiently,
Congress would be forced to adopt
legislation to protect the public.
There is growing apprehension
that as a result of the situation that
now confronts the railroads, busi-
ness may be paralyzed and the coun-
try suffer panic that will involve
all citizens. Hundreds of thousands
of workers are idle because factories
cannot obtain supplies. Farmers
crops are held in storehouses because
cars are not available to move them.
Banks are in difficulty because they
cannot realize on loans on last years
harvests. A coal famine is promised
for next winter because the railroads
cannot get cars to the mines. Every
body is suffering, and the situation
daily become worse. And the rail-
road executives are to attempt the
dangerous expedient of trying to
correct conditionA with propaganda.
