JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TRIMS
ON WILKESON COAL STRIKE

The Federal Department of JUS
tice. which outlined the basis of
settlement that brought to an end
the recent gigantic coal strike,
seems to have been able to eXer-
else unlimited power in dealing
with the miners side of the con-
troversy, but, from all indications,
this power is not being exercised
in bringing to terms one or two or
the coal companies, which have
openly ignored, and refused to ac-
cept the Governments basis of set
tlement.
The Wilkeson Coal & Coke Co.
is one of the very few throughout
the nation which has had the au-
dacity to challenge the power or
the Government. The representa-
tives of that concern informed the
miners union, after the miners OF
the State as whole had voted to
accept the Government terms OF
settlement. that it would not OBJ
serve he same, and> despite all eff
forts up to date on the part of the
miners union, they have maintain
ed their open defiance of the Gov
ernment.
The Government terms OF set
tlement were to restore the status
quo existing prior to the strike,
plus the IA per cent conceded by
the Federal Fuel Administrator,
DR.. Garfield. and to leave all other
matters at issue to the President S
Coal Commission, composed OF
three members appointed by the
President. The Commission is com
posed of one representative of the
miners union, one representative
of the coal operators, and one rep
resentative of the public This
Commission is now in session at
Washington, working out the de-
tails of a settlement.
The representatives of both the
State miners union and of the In
ternational Union have taken the
question of the Wilkeson strike up
both with the Federal Coal Com
mission and Attorney-Generai
Palmer. The Coal Commission,
when confronted with the ISSUE

NATIVE CHILDREN
ARE GROWING UP
IN lLLITERACY

That many American-born chill
dren are growing up illiterate is
shown by figures given in the Sew
enth Annual Report of the Chief of
the Children's Bureau of the I. S.
Department of Labor These fig
ures were collected in connection
with the Bureau S administration of
the Child Labor Act of 1916 which
was later declared unconstitutional,
They cover five States in which the
employment of children was gem
eral.
OF 1886 children between II
and 16 years old to whom certifi-
Gates we're issued, more than one

never gone beyond the first grade
and considerably more than half

three per cent were in eighth grade
and about one in a hundred had

These children were native Amer

al President Lewis, and State Pres
ident Harlin, of the Miners Union,
that he would order the Wilkeson
Coal & Coke Co., in line with the
action taken by all the other coal
operators of the nation, to restore
the status quo in conformity with
the Governments decision. But
since President Harlin's return to
the State, Assistant District Attor-
ney Ames, acting for Mr.. Palmer,
has receded from this position, and
has suggested a system of arbitra-
tion of the question, that has been
tried out in Alabama, a State
where the Miners Union has not
as yet gained recognition.
The District Executive Board of
the Miners Union, in session few
days ago, decided by unanimous
vote to insist on the enforcement of
the Governments decision and the
application of the same force in the
case of the coal company that has
been applied against the miners.
The boys at Wilkeson have had
considerable previous experience in
dealing with this particular COM
pany. They waged, from 1907 to
1909, an effective strike for rec
ognition of the union, and despite
all efforts of the coal company, fl
nally succeeded in bringing about
just recognition of the union
They are again conducting a sue
cessful strike, and backed by the
miners of the State and the entire
International Union, are deter
mined that this company must play
fair, and if the Department of JUS
tice, speaking for the Government
finds itself unable to bring about
this desired end, and impress the
Wilkeson Coal & Coke Co. with thu
fact that they live in section o
the United States of America, ant
are subject to the jurisdiction of it!
Government, then the miners
union will assume this responsible
ity for them.
The workers of the State, gener'
ally, are beginning to wonder (?)
just how enduring our Government
is and how long its seat might be
maintained at Washington, if the
mine operators of the nation, as 6
whole. should decide to challenge
its power to govern, when one
small two-by-four company, locat-
ed here in this State, can success
fully bluff them out. They are
also beginning to wonder GU what

5 Of the report which requested ev-
cry local union to contribute the
sum Of one dollar to enable the A.

avoidable, pressing obligations.
postponed or overlooked the ap-
peal; so that up to the present date
the total amount subscribed is but
$3.50. Up to the present this
sum has not been expended, the
Committee. as we'll as the Execu-
tive Council, \. +. of L., deciding
that a sufficient sum ought to be
in the fund to insure the success
| of our effort to place the necessary
knowledge and information in the
hands of our members to success
fully start their efforts at CO.
operation.
The matter is now put to the To-
cal union membership directly so
that it may contribute an infinitely
small sum to make this campaign
of education successful. Today
every wage-worker knows that CO.
operation is not limited to benefits
of purely business character.
Through It the workers can secure
more comfort, better health and
greater individual and collective
independence. The cooperative
store affords a working-cIass edu-
cation in equitable business.
