duclng hours 80 that extra war work
ers who were not needed in the coal
Industry under normal conditions but
were vitality needed in other industries
should be artifcially kept in the coal
industry was one of the two most
prominent and undoubtedly the one
most vital question at issue.
Fuel Administrator Garfield has
definitely declared-and all other un-
biased students of the coal industry
seem to agree with him-that the basis
Of all the trouble in the coal industry
is the fact that there are far more
men in it than the industry needs.
The United States Senate reports
show that for the year before the coal
strike the average miner received
about $500 for about 200 days work
During this period it was shown, how
ever, that because of the number of
miners and because wages were such
that the average miner could maintain,
lis scale of living on much less than
full time, it was the custom in the in
dustry-and this custom was main
Gained even during the war period
when the demand for coal was great
est--to work less, often much less,
than full time in order that there
might be plenty of work for all the
extra men in the industry. 1t was also
shown by this same Senate report that
The miner who worked all the time he
CO uld instead of part time earned
from 81 400 to $4,000 year on the
wage scale before the strike.
With the war over, however, there
was the obvious probability of very
much smaller demand for coal Obviously
and purely in order that all the men
in the industry could be kept in the
industry, and in the unions, and not
be forced back into the other industries
where they were needed, the miners
officials demanded that wages be raised
to a point where the average miner
could maintain a full American scale
of living by working three or four
days a week And in order to make
eiio NONDiy SuASt eiiVS iutV VASi US-
manded that the maximum weeks work
should be thirty hours, which is equal
to exactly three and three-fourths
eigh.-hour days week. The miners
lenders won only partial victory, but
this extravagantly inefficient condition
still persists Of far greater number
of men than the industry needs, each
working part time. Thus not only does
the average coal buyer pay two men 8
wages instead Of one mans wages on
every ton Of coal he buys, but there
is corrcspondingly lower production
and higher price due to labor shortage
in each other ndustry-particular arly
farming-from which these men came
but to which they have not gone back.
But this persistent determination OF
the unions to keep as many men as
possible in the industries they domi-
nate, or want to dominate, and so in
the union to help in this domination
not only obviously adds immensely tc
the cost of living, but it is part of q
secret, sinister policy, to be discussed
later, which will, in the long run, if i
succeeds. be far more costly yet to The
whole American people.

SPIRIT OF GOOD
TURN WEEK: MAY
IT STILL GO ON

Good turn week will be Official
~ ended tonight" said a Boy Scout
oficer this morning. hut we hope
that its spirit will 90 marching on.
It has been successful in, various
ways. The people of the commun-
ity have been thoroughly educated
as to the value Of the Boy Scout
movement. Because Of the fact that
many people in the city pledged
themselves to do the daily good
turns for the week, It is expected
that a habit has been formed that
will continue throughout the year.
'"The local officials of the Boy
Scouts of America wish to extend
their sincere appreciation to every
person who has in any way, big or
little, helped to make the 10th an
niversary of the Boy Scouts Or
ganixation the success it has been. !"
Today. the last day. was to have
been the Scouts hiking day, and
many Of the holder members of the
band. unabashed by the weather,
started out this morning. Troop
No. 5 left for a hike to Carbon
Cliff, and others were making an
endeavor to secure their first class
badges by a 14-mile hike.

ASK AUDIENCETO
GATHER ON TIME

At the first of the years series
OF concerts by. the Tri-City Sym
phoney orchestra fast month the
public was most considerate in
coming on time, and there was little
confusion during the concert Only
very few were seated after the
first numbers. The same spirit Is
asked for the second concert, at
the Augustana college gymnasium
Monday night at Sis and tomor-
row afternoon at the Coliseum in
Davenport at o'clock. Doors will
be open for the evening concert at
1880 and for the afternoon one at
2:15. Ludwig Becker, the conduc-
tor, has one splenif quality besides
his musical ability, and that is to
begin on time, and cooperation is
necessary.
The orchestra was a success at
its initial appearance and there is
no doubt but what the second con-
cert will be as we'll or even better
received. Season ticket holders are
lookinaeforward to the appearance
and anticipating the enjoyment OF
hearing the local orchestra again.
Season tickets can still be con-
tinued and there are also single ad-
mission tickets to be had.
The program has been published
before, and includes numbers by
Arthur Craft, the tenor from Chi
cago, about whom music followers
have read so much. Mr. Kraft was
in the tri-cities once before in a
concert under the direction of the
late DR.. Charles Allan. Those who
heard him then will be anxious to
again enjoy his splendid singing
and those who have never heard
him will consider themselves for
tunate in having the opportunity.
Mrs. T. d. Starbuck is accompanist
for the soloist.
