WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Ap-
pearing before senate bmmittec
that is considering the d Slsrexula-
tion bill, Congressman duddleston
of Alabama read a transcript of the
proceedings of the National Coal
association in June, 1919, quoting:
motions made to appropriate
money for publication TO get con-
sumers to buy coal while the coal
owners ''stood pat' on prices.
One coal owner advocated paid

Vice President Morrow of the
National Coal association told the

HUGE EXCESS PRODUCED
BY WORKERS OF AMERICA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. - While
statesmen and editors were lectur-
ing workers last year on the evils of
less production the department of
commerce reports that manufac ctur-
ed goods led in the exports of the
country for 1920 with 1, value of $3,-
2O4, 4,382,109, as compared with ST.
563,504,756.
These figures are the best answer
to the slander and hysteria that was
leveled against workers, until the
present unemployment, which work.
ers have no part in creating, silenced
the mongers.

with that understanding Of the sit
uatlon labor took up the cudgel. en-
dorsed S. F. Snively for mayor, Fred

sloner, and resolved to "go to the mat
with the Lincoln club" on their cam
didates for city offices. Many citizens
not members of labor orga anizations
also believed that the club was organ
lied for no other purpose than to hit
at union labor. and they lost no time
in informing union men of the fact.

issue in the campaign which would
divide the majority Of the voters in

If the Lincoln club candidates won the
election the citizens alliance would
herald it broadcast that union labor

Now we find that we have been
misinformed. Officers of the Lincoln
club have called at The Labor World
office and have insisted that the club
has nothing to do with the "open
shop movement. 1T is absolutely
free from every class and sectional in
terest," said one of the clubs drec-
tors to the editor. I'VE are only in

not against union labor as such, and
this is not an open shop fight" he
insisted.
That Sounded Good.
That sounded mighty good and
mighty refreshing to u.s. Since that
visit we are in receipt of letter from
Mr.. A. McC. Washbur:l, president of
the Lincoln club, in which he sets
forth the purpose of the club in local
politics. Mr.. Washburn makes no ref
- erence to the 'open shop" but he
does insist that labor is not going
to the mat with the Lincoln club and
certainly the Lincoln club is not going
to the mat with labor
That ought to be sufficient assur-
ance to us that we were either entirely
mistaken about the object and pur-
pose of the club in this campaign, or
the present membership of the club
has diverted it from the intentions of

V@ollar an hOurcand the contractors re-
duce them to so cents, it is but a 20
per cent decrease. !:
The Duluth Builders exchange gave:
out tabulated statement the. other
day in which comparison was made,
OF labor and building mcterial prices
since 1913. The statement showed
that brick was still 157 per cent high
er than it. was in 1918; steel is still 66.
per cent; lumber SO per cent, tile At
per cent. cement 119 per cent, and
sand $50 per cent above 1918 prices,
Labor Gets Worst OF 1t.
The same statement attempts to
show the cost Of labor per man for.
seven crafts. It declares that this cost
was $3.48 per hour in 1913 and in.
!. 1920 it was $7.3S. Under the new
contractors scale the cost will be but
$500 per hour. The increase over
1913 was 112 per cent in 1920 and if.
the contractors have they way it will
be but Sc per cont in 1921. =. .
Now let us analyze the labor figures
given. Was the labor cost in 1913
or in 1914 in seven crafts only $s.4s
an hour? Let us see. We will take
the contra :tors' own figures on. the
wage of each trade as given out after
their recent state convention. In 1914.
the wages in the seven basic building
trades were as follows: bricklayers
70 ceqts. carpenters so cents. iron
Ell ectors 62h cents, plasterers 621h
cents, painters SO cents and sheet
metal workers so cents. The total
hourly wage cost was in asia, not
$3.47 as stated by the exchange, but
it was $4.07.
Labor's Figures Differ.
In 1920 the same seven trades we're
paid as follows: bricklayers, iron err
ectors and plasterers each $1.25 per
hour and the other four 81 per hour
The total hourly wase was $7.75 and
not $7.3S as shown by the contract
ors. The real difference in wage cost
between 1913 and 1920 for the seven
trades was $3.6Sh an hour, an In
crease of but 80 per cent over 1918
and 1914 and not 112 per cent as
stated by the contractors.
Now if the contractors should have
their way about, it the same seven
trades will be paid as follows: brick
layers and plasterers 81 an hour, the
other five 80 cents an hour or a total
of Sc an hour, which is but IN in
crease of $1.S3 over 1913 and 1914,
or only As per cent as against an In
crease in the price OF material of 139
