lay. much will have been accomplish
ed toward making the mills and plants
of the steel trust fit places in which
human beings may work
This improvement in conditions of
employment IN the steel trust is due
to the growing pressure of trade
unionism, and though he may deny
it, Judge Gary has to that extent
yielded to the protests of the labor
movement.
When trade unionism first began
to function, when it first began to
call attention to the evils in industry,
to unbearable conditions and to in
justices that existed, it began to build
up in the minds of thinking persons
"a moral force operating against the
continuance of injustice
From the moment of it's first pro-
test the labor movement began to
align with it thase whose minds were
open 10 The concept OF justice and
fairness.
The steel trust is now correcting
some of its most glaring evils, is act
ing in response to the great resent
ment that has come into being again

BRITISH MINERS GIVE
AS REASONS
For Suspendng Work Holding of Unified Mine Control
and National Wage Standards

Washington.-The strike of coai
miners in England involves several
issues, but the outstanding feature is
the attempt of these workers to hold
their positions of unified mine control
established by the government, and ma
tional wage standards.
AS result of the miners strike
that started in October of last year
national wages board was set up
price of coal and it's distribution, and
its plan to turn the mines back tC
their owners is opposed by the min
ers, who insist that plans should first
be worked out that will stabilize this
industry The miners are fearful for
their gains if unrestricted private con-
troll is again established.
The railway workers are linked UP
with the miners and transport work
ers in voluntary pact called the triple
alliance, but the railway workers are
more than sentimentally interested il
the miners cause as government con-
troll of the railroads is to end next
August and their general wages board
and other gains will be jeopardized
as is the miners.
The miners are committed to the
naturalization Of mines and this was
indorsed in 1919 by the British
Trades Union Congress by vote OF
4,478,000 to 77,000. The government
suggests that the royalty rights Of
the mines be acquired and that the
arrangements of these properties be
unified.
The naturalization demand seems

ONWARD GOES COURSE OF LABOR
JUDGE GARY ANNOUNCES D|SC0NT|NUANCE OF SEVEN
DAY week BY UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION

added time to think, and with added
time TO come together and discuss
problems, the workers in the steel in
dustry are much more likely to de-
vote their thought to human welfare
and to the liberation of human beings
than they are to devote their thought
solely to the welfare and profit of Mr..
Gary. They are likely to see that the
democratic concept pervades to insti-
tutions around them and to seek ways
end means of introducing that concept
into the place where it is most vital
to them in their daily lives-their
place of employment
For the sake of immediate physical
well-being of those involved, a benevo-
lent feudalism is undoubtedly more to
be desired than q feudalism that is
not benevolent, but in the minds of
those who have come to think and who
have come to understand something
beyond feudalism, no feudalism is toll
cradle, whether benevolent or not.
The trade union movement has
made steady and unrelenting progress
toward the destruction of the auto
cratic concept in industry. The steel
trust has been one of the last great
citadels of tie old principle. 1t has
been to industry in America what the
thrones of the czar and the kaiser
were to the political life of the world,
It's outer defenses have fallen. 1t is
but question of time before the sur
render to progress and freedom, and
human welfare, will be complete. 1t
is not Of much moment whether Mr..
Gary is aware of what is taking place,
or whether he is even aware of the
causes that underhe his own action.
The important thing is that progress
continues. The liberation of human
ity goes on The world moves.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1921-04-15

to be a less important point at this
time, out the miners strongest claim
for naturalization is that the great
inequalities, because of physical con-
ditions in the mining industry gives
low-cost mines the advantage over
high-cost mines.
The miners insist that every ounce
of coal possible is necessady for the
economic life of England and that
mine production should be on the ba-
sis of low-cost mines aiding those OF
higher cost. and that this is only pos
sible by naturalization.
The so-called Sankey commission
appointed by .he government, reported
in 1919 in favor of naturalization
The government rejected this recon-
mendation and advanced the plan Of
securing mine royalty rights. The
miners charge that the government
agreed to accept the COMMISSION s
findings.
At the present time the usual claim
of inefficiency is made by the coal
owners against the miners, and the
latter reply that the coal owners, with
the consent of the government, raised
the price of export coal 10 continental
Europe to disgracefully high price If
order to reimburse the national treas
ury. This injured England's export
trade, and the home consumer is nov
called upon to maintain profits anc
the miner is asked to lower working
conditions.
