"STOP Thief" CRY
Raised to Offset Coal Strike
Probe

Williamson, w. Va.-Immediately
on the passage of Mingo county
probe resolution by the United States
senate, the coal owners in this Sec
ton raise the "stop-thief" cry.
1--WE will show that the United
Mine Workers, which organization is
seeking to unionize this field, is an
illegal and irresponsible organization
the coal owners say.
The probe will show that the union
came into this field at the solicitation
of unorganized miners and that the
reign of terror in Mingo county is the
coal owners attempt to maintain
anti-union conditions.
The miners assure coal owners that
they will be afforded ample opportun,
ity to prove their charge before the
senate committee, and they will also
be called upon to explain the work
ings of their private armies.

EXONERATES LABOR
Probe Shows Wage Increase
Not in Proportion to
Living Costs

Buffalo, N. Y.--Rigid cross-exami.
nation of Henry w. Rust, secretary Of
the Master House Painters Associa-
ton, at the Lockwood building probe,
forced the acknowledgment that labor
has not secured wage increases in pro-
portion to the cost of living and that
everything else has increased far be-
yond the average cost of labor. 1t
was shown that the increase in labor
| cost was very negligible thing COM
pared with the increased cost added
by the contractor, as result of which
building operations in this city have
been checked
Rust stated that when his associa
ton raised wages of non-union en-
ployes so per cent prices to the pub
lie were increased from 120 to 800
per cent. Later he admitted that
prices had been raised as high as 500
per cent during the past three years
and that more than 25 per cent was
charged over the rate paid labor. In
1917 the charge for burning off paint
was 70 cents an hour; in 1920 this
charge was $1.40-100 per cent in
crease, and 80 per cent more than
paid to the men who do the work.
One of the ludicrous incidents of
the probe is the attitude of the anti
union Commercial, which said in a
leading editorial "Mr. Untermyer,
the Buffalo Commercial suspects that
you have political ambitions"
The Commercial was never known
to say harsh word against big bus
mess. It's manager, McCone, recently
told congressional committee in
Washington that the International
Typographical Union maintained a
censor over the press of the country
and that only his publication and
three others were immune.

the New York state industrial COM
mission.
The decrease in number of workers
reported are 36 per cent in metals and
machinery, 25 per cent in wood man
ufacturers, 25 per cent in furs, leather
and rubber goods, "a per cent in stone,
clay and glass products, q per cent
in textiles, 10 per cent in paper man
ufacture, II per cent in clothing, is
per cent in chemicals, oils and paints,
y per cent in printing and paper
goods, and per cent in food, bev-
erages and tobacco products. The
light power industry shows a gain of
5 per cent during the year.
The tabulation of the April reports
clearly indicates that industry in gen
eral has thus far shown few signs of
a real recovery, says the report

BUSINESS AGENT
PERPINCON
OF Carpenters Union Urges
Home Building Now AS
Stimulus to Trade

Herman Perpingon, business agent
of the Carpenters Union, has issued
an earnest statement to all contem-
plating building, remodeling or repair
ing in which he urges that they do it
at once to offset unemployment and
stimulate trade in general. The state
ment follows:
"Owing to the critical condition of
the building situation in this city at
the present time, resulting in the un-
employment of many men, we wish to
call attention to those having any
building, remodeling or repair work
in contemplation, the urgent need of
having it done now. Anything that
tends to keep the members of the
building crafts employed has ten
dency to stimulate trade in other lines
of business. The holding off of any
needed improvements for lower prices
for many.
'Prices at this time are probably
as low as they will go. 1t is this hold
ing off policy that causes our indus
trial depression, and the sooner the
public grasps this truth the sooner
prosperity will return. This holds
good in all lines Of business. There
is still great shortage Of houses in
Hamilton. Any one having money to
invest could not do better than build
house and be assured of quick and
profitable return on his investment"

WIN EIGHT HOURS
Congress Turns Down Long
Day for Firemen and
Oilers

Washington.-By vote of 1877 to
113 the house rejected a 12-hour work
day for firemen, oilers and water
tenders on the great lakes. The pro-
posal was included in the seamen's
law. Congressman Nolan, of the Iron
Molders' Union, led an all day battle
against the long work day. The bill
is now in the hands of the senate COM
mittee on commerce.
The seamen, however, lost their
fight to maintain the present require
ment of able seamen on the great
lakes. Under the seamen's act 65 per
cent Of able seamen are required in
the deck crew on the ocean as we'll as
on the great lakes. The Scott amend

COAL OWNERS
Oppose Stabilizing Industry

Washington.-The various organi-
cations of coal owners are lined up
against bill introduced by Senator
Frelinghuysen to stabilize this indus
try.
For the purpose of defeating the
pending and all other coal legislation,
sal dthe law maker. "these various
bodies, representing hundreds of mil
lions of dollars of capital, have united
in 'one big union,' SO to speak, to con-
tinue their strangle hold on the necks
and purses of the coal buyers"
The lawmaker said that heretofore
he was inclined to believe the coal
owners claim that their profits were
overstated, but in view of their pres
ent campaign of Misrepresentation
against his proposals he is disposed
to believe chat they have never been
sincere and have never told the truth
regarding the operators profits.
"If they resort to deceit in one par
ticular, they will do likewise in
another" he said.
