Men DIG
MORE LICNITE


Concrste proof that the reduction in
hours OF labor results in greater pro-
duction IS contained in the preliminary
report of State Mine Inspector John
Hanwell, who has completed IL survey
of the coal mining situation. Of the
state. Mr.. Hanweil finds that G3,961
more tons of Ignite coal were dug
under the operation of the eight-aonr
mining law than in the year previous,
when miners worked 10 hours in the
non-uniOn mines.
Mr.. Hanwell's observation<-;lre made
after nine months operation of the
mine inspection law. passed last winter
by the farmer legislature. The law
prohibited operators working their
men more than eight hours. In the
non-union mines 10 hours had been re.
lquired.
Work 8 Hours Last Months.
In the year just closed the total Zig.
mite production of the state was 1884,
G94 tons. Nine months of this year
the eight hour law was effective. In.
1918. when larger number of men
We're employed the production. ac-
cording to Mr.. Hanwell, was only
71953,s tons.
II was particularly interested in
watching the production for this year
climb away ahead of last year, in spite
of the fact that less miners were en-
rloyed." says Mr.. Hanwell. Several
newspapers opposed to the state ad-
ministration We're active several
months back in declaring that the new
mining law and the workmen's com.
pensatiOn law was making business
improbable for tlle operators, and
that the worlsnen's compensation law
was adding a cost of II cents. per ton
to tle coal.
Higher Cost Argument Killed.
II think that these figures ON pro-
duction will kill the argument that the
law is costing the operators more
money. Any child Gun see that the
operators got about $4,000 more tons
of conl with less miners than under
the old conditions, and that therefore
the cost of labor per ton Is less to
them.

an operation. and now. after more than

All this was accomplished without

WORLD MAR VETERANS
DEFEND RIGHTS or LABOR

The first annual convention of the
World War Veterans. Northwestern
Division, representing sixteen states
and a membership of 215,0 veter-
ans of the World War which has just
closed itsssessions held on the s1st OF
March 3Ist to April End. inclusive,
has passH ONE remarkable resola-
tions OF the rights of the Americas
people.
The convention engaged in spirit
I'd discussion of the reign of terror
which has Prevailed throughout .l4s
country since the signing of the arm
istice. They denounced the espion.
age law and asked for its repeal A
resolution was passed recognizing
the Irish republic.
The oiisting of the duly elected re-
presentattyes of the people, by tlie
New York assembly. brought forth
the following resolution, which vas
passed Unanimously:
Wheareas, the legislative body OF
the state of New York has granted the
Socialist party of America, as an or
ganization of Perpetual Traitors"
and have unseated the duly elecetd
five Socialist assemblymen of New
York, and whereas, the Socialist
party of America. is duly constitu-
ted legal political party, functioning
in our national political lift for the
last eighten years, using the recogn!-
zed channels of agitation and propc-
ganda utilized by all other political
parties.
And, whereas, now. because Of the
fact that the Socialist party is pc
litical minority group, took politi-
cal stand on the World War which
differed from the accepted view, is
no excuse for disfranchising them.
However. in every Civilized country
in the world, it has always been a
we'll established principle, to allow
and to tolerate minority political
groupssto have the fullest and fre.
est freedom of speech upon grave
auestions of public policy.
And. . 4eTeas. America has been
the traditional land OF liberty. this
bulwark OF representative govern
ment, the home of political exiles, the
busting of duly elected representa-
tives of the people, merely because
they belong to the Socialist party or
any other political party, is an out
landish assault upon the liberties of
the people. 1t is. further more. a
disgrace to the fair name of America
and is inspired by the re-actionarv
and selfish interests of our nation.
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
World War Veterans, Northwest Di-
vision. in convention assembled, on
the s1st day of March, in the City OF
Minneapolis, that we condemn unre.
