grades.
To be effective recitations must
have reasonable length. 1t takes time
to conduct a thought-provoking dis
cussion. The length of recitations
possible is determined by the number
it is necessary to have in the daily
schedule. In the one-teacher rural
schools, recitations will not be of sat
isfactory length if there are more
than twenty-four a day, and it is
better not to attempt more than TWEEN

HAVE TO DO IT
Fight in MingO Must Be
WOn," Declares Miners
Chief
Hoped That Investigation
Will Lay Bare Horrors
of Coal Field

indianapolis, lnd-"The fight in
Mingo county, West Virginia, must be
won," declared John L. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers, in
his report to the biennial convention
of that organization.
The miners chief reviewed the
West Virginia situation at length,
and he expressed the hope that the
senate investigating committee
bare the horrors of that field"
He recommended that legal pro-
ceedings be instituted to make a full
test of the constitutionality of the
Kansas can't-strike" law.
In discussing the wage question
President Lewis mentioned 13 states
in which coal owners asked for wage
reductions. He said the unions pol
icy was suncompromisingly for carrying
out the present agreement which was
based on the governments bitumin-
Gus coal commissions award, made
after the nationwide strike of two
years ago.
Our people were employed only two
days week on the average" said
President Lewis, E'and they found it
extremely difficult to provide them
selves with food and other necessi-
ties. Furthermore, it is fact that
the wages now paid in the organized
sections of the mining industry are
but relatively fair. Coal can be pro-
duced under the present wage scale
at labor cost that corresponds fav-
orbaly with production costs of other
essential commodities"
Recommendation was made that
definite action on wage demands be
postponed until next February. with
all wage agreements expiring March
81, 1922" he said. "The full infu-
ence and economic power of our great
membership may thus be utilized to
the advantage of our people for the
achievement of our ideals"

MORE LIGHT
Gompers Nails Misrepre-
senting sPublicist" With
Real Facts

Washington-'P -'Publicits" may learn
some day that they cannot make
statements misrepresenting the labor
movement and get away with them.
In recent issue of the Gateway, a
magazine published at Detroit,
writer under the caption Labor I'm
ions and Capital" gives out this bald
declaration.
The most reliable information OBJ
tainable indicates that at the time
America entered the war less than 10
per cent of all the labor of the country
belonged to labor unions, and less
then per cent of the labor employed
in the more advanced types of manu-
featuring industry was unionized.
President Gompers, in a letter to
the Gateway, nails the writer with
these facts:
"That statement is in line with all
those in the article and just as true as
all others The census of 1910 shows
there were 38,00O,o00 people employed
in gainful occupations, including the
farmers, Mr.. Rockefeller, Mr.. Nor
gan, the President of the United Stat
es, members of congress, members of
legislatures, and all the professions
and others.
/" Before the war there were about
100000 eligible to membership il
trade unions. OF these 5,50000 were
organized or about 70 per cent. The
statement of the writer is such bald
faced misrepresentation of the trutl
that have no doubt ''The Gateway
will willingly correct the false state
ment which | cannot otherwise bu
believe was maliciously made. N,
man with any judgment would sa.
there were 40,000,000 wage worker
in the country. That would presup
pose population of at least 100000,
000."
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1921-10-07
trickery on the employees. "


The above statement was made by
Arthur H. Young, manager of the
trusts industrial relatictls depart
ment in his address before the con-
vention of the American Drop Forge
association
The speaker was explaining the
trusts company union" while ack-
nowledging that the trust was guilty
of trickery on its employees.
He further said that the company
union" has increased the piece work
output but it remains to be seen"
whether wages can be reduced He
added that some manufacturers Eek
pect to sit in the grand stand and do
all the cheering while the employees
do all the work"
In commenting on this speech,
Editor Martin of the Blacksmiths,
Drop Forgers and Helpers Maga-
zine, said:
Here you have it Mr.. Young frank
| ly admits the practice of trickery on
| the employees, also that in some plants
foreman had in the past been encour-
aged in this deception. How, under
| Heaven, and in the name of common
sense, are employees to believe the
employer in the face of such frank
admission If they trick him once
will they not trick him again and
deceive him oftener? And this is a
strictly piece work shop.
'The trickery surely must be more
cunning, more fooling and more con-
vincing in order to give the boss
more than twice the piece work pro
duction and less cost.
"Mr. Young tells you, Mr.. Piece
Worker, that the directors of the
company expect to sit in the grand
stand and do all the cheering, while
the employees do all the work, and
in the very next line or two informs
the convention that it remains to be
seen what will happen when it be
comes necessary to reduce the present
scale of wages"
