The miners continue their objec-

profits will not permit of wage in

these profits to be a part of the in

In his closing argument to the

of the United Mine Workers said
when we sought to demonstrate
by an inquiry into the monopolistic
domination of the industry and it's
abnormally large earnings, direct and
indirect, that our just wage demands
could be met and the increase alb
sorbed by the operators out of their
profits without an increase in the
price of coal to the. consumer we
encountered a technical objection
from the operators, who raised the
question as to the jurisdiction of

Italian Seamen Use
Cooperative Method

New York, July 24.-The Crema,
operated by the Consorzio Garibaldi,
cooperative association of Italy's
81 900 marine officers and seamen,
has arrived at this port. The vessel
is one of five large freighters that
the Co-ops have acquired from the
Italian government, and operate for
their own benefit, each member of
the organization being a shareholder
in the fleet.
The vessels were secured by each
seaman contributing a small amount
monthly. Profits are not divided,
but are held for use when private
lines, because of panic or commerce
decentralization, may attempt to re-
duce wages. The Crema has II Off

interview with a local newspaper
an officer of the vessel said:

Gals. We merely are operating on a
common sense basis, safeguarding
the future. Each year an election
of officers is held. The board of
directors must include representa-
tives of ships officers and their
crews.
"The rates of pay are the same
as on private lines. There is no
truth in the charge that we pay the
captain only as much as a seaman,
or that there is no discipline. In
deed, the discipline is even better
than it was before the organization
was established. There will be no
mutinies at any time now, for
balky sailors will be expelled from
the union and blacklisted. Better
treatment of the men is assured for
the reason that instead of COM
planning to company when perse-
cuted or ill-treated by officers and
getting no satisfaction, they can
now place charges before the union
and compel hearing. The captain
thus has more authority than be-
fore and the men have better treat
