HOW A MINE OPERATOR
VIEWS THE PROSPERITY TO
REDUCE WAGES CT WORKERS

Yes, wages are going to drop. but
not in the mining industry. The min
ers are too well organized and can
successfully combat any effort at
wage reduction The FIRST drop will be
among the unskilled workers, who
are in no condition to resist, and this
will be followed by reductions among
those crafts which are weak In or.
ganiZation. But | can see no imme.
date reduction in wages for the
strongly organized crafts. There will
be no reduction of coal prices due to
reduction in miners wages. IL must
come through SOME other way"
This is the answer of coal opera
tor at West Frankfort to a question
asked by the coal investigating com.
mittee on its recent visit to the coal
mining community. Surprising the
operator spilled the beans" as TO the
attitude of organized capital towards
labor, both organized and morgan
iced
This statement conveys moral
that should be needed by every work
ing man in the nation; The man who
is unprotected by union is to be
reduced in wages; those who have
the power. of resistance will retain
what they have fought for and won.
Layoifs and shutdowns will be-
come general, as being part of the
scheme to reduce wages; organiza-
ton and fidelity to the union is the
only means within the hands of labor
TO obtain and keep up a proper stand.
