UNIQUE COOP. PLAN
Proving Successful in Running Coal Mine in Indiana
BY Workers

of the mine This sum is pro-rated
to the partners according to their re-
spective net tonnages of production,
exclusive of coal used in the boiler
plant BY this method each man
shares in the profits of the company
according to the amount of coal he
produces.
If a partner decides to sever his
relations with the company, his earn
ings are paid up in full and his share
of the company stock for which he
has paid by assessments is refunded
1t is said that there is always wait
ing list of day workers eager to take
the place of any miner who resigns.
Trouble arises occasionally among
the day men in this mine, as else
where, and when these differences
can not be settled between the day
men and committee representing
the company, strikes have occurred.
Then all work is stopped, and the
miners who comprise the partnership
under which the mine operates, put
down their tools and come out with
the strikers and the mine is idle until
the differences have been arbitrated

INCONSISTENCIES OF
OPEN-SHOPPERS Barred
Real Purpose of AntUnionsts is Exposed By National
Catholic Welfare Council

Washington-Th national associa-
tion of Manufacturers will not favor
collective bargaining, even if confin-
ed to the individual shop.
The national Catholic welfare coun-
ell, department of social service,
makes the above declaration in
statement defending its opposition to
the anti-union shop
1t is stated that practically every
clergyman of that denomination in
the United States has received a crit
icism of this opposition which is sim
liar to the position taken by the fed
eral council of churches (Protestant)
The defense of the anti-union shop
row being circulated, is an attempt
to diseredit the opposition of the two
religious bodies to the system of IN
dividual bargaining.
In its reply the national Catholic
welfare council refers to the national
grange (Which favors the anti-union
Shop) as that small body of rural
aristocrats," and the council denies
that the United States chamber Of
commerce represents the sense of a
community.
Notwithstanding its sprinkling Of
professional men," it is stated, "the
average chamber Of commerce repre-
class exclusively, whenever it makes
a pronouncement concerning the rela-
tions between capital and labor.
"In general, few if any of the or
ganizations that have declared in ia
vor of the open shop avow their
attitude toward collective bargaining.

companies. 1t was charged that
many large financial institutions do
rot want to be shown as loaning
money only when big contracting
firms owned or controlled by them re-
ceive the contracts.
The result Of the commissions in
vestigation is to convict one member
Of organized labor and have fines as
sessed against several associations Of
contractors and individuals. The
public press became hysterieal with
JOY over this action, but is silent when

1t would appear that the Building
Trades Employers Association, with
its 80 groups Of employers, have re-
covered from their first fright be-
cause Of publicity, and they now re
fuse to oust certain contractors and

tion declare they will not expel mem

Washington form of co-opera-
tive coal mining succeeds at Dugger,
Indiana, according to j. j. Bourquin,
mining engineer of the United States
bureau of mines
The mine property was leased
eight years ago by the miners, who
formed the Dugger Mutual Coal and
Mining Company. Now there are 81
miners and 20 day men employed.
These workers are members of the
United Mine Workers. At first many
difficulties were encountered, but
after struggle the mine was put
on paying basis.
The company is not incorporated,
but is licensed as a partnership or
ganization. Thus, legal responsible
ity for any Indebtedness incurred rests
both on the company and its individual
members. Only men who actually
mine and load coal are admitted to
partnership. The day men are paid
according to the prevailing scale of
the district. When it is deemed ad-
visable to admit more miners men
employed in other capacities are
given preference. On assuming the
duties of miners they become partners
in the company and are entitled to a
share of the earnings.
All business transactions are ham
died by two committees--a finance
committee of three members and a
policy committee of FIVE members.
Each member of the company has a
vote in the election of members to
these committees.
The superintendent Of the mine is
paid m onthly salary equal to one
tenth of the sum of the earnings of
the 10 miners receiving the highest
pay for the month This naturally
encourages close supervision and eff
ficiency on the part of that official.
The wages of day men, sales COM
missions, royalty fees and other over
head expenses are deducted from the
gross income derived from sales of
coal during the given period. The
remainder represents the net earnings

deal with the employer as a body,
their union membership is futile.
An open shop which allows the
employees to belong to a union, but
does not permit the union to deal
with the employer as union is
worthless Not only has no open
shop organization declared that the
open shop employer would deal with
the union, but every such organiza-
tion that has confessed its attitude
on this subject has admitted that this
practice would not be tolerated.
Several representatives of employ
er groups have protested to the social
action department against its state
ment that the open shop is intended
to destroy the unions. Upon exami-
nation, every one of them admitted
that the open shop which they are
advocating, would not permit dealing
with the unions. The spokesman for
the national association of manufac-
turers was informed that if that body
would make a public statement to
the effect that the open shop is con
sistent with proportional representa-
tion by the union employees in system
Of collective bargaining, even confn-
ed to the individual shop, the social
action department would withdraw
its statement against the open shop
This gentleman declared that the
national association of manufacturers
would make no such statement, and
admitted that this organization really
desired to cripple the unions Up to
the present, no authorized representa-
tive of an open shop has denied that
collective bargaining with the union
is inconsistent with the open shop

There is no room for doubt as to
who owns congress. The records give
the information in the most convinc-
ing manner
The people, at any rate, do not con
troll the actions Of congress They
may imagine they do, but they are
mistaken. About all that is reserved
to the people is the payment of bills
that are being contracted by the gov
ernment for The benefit Of those who
own and enjoy it
The workers have been kicked from
the halls Of congress so often that
they no longer GO there asking for
consideration They are content to
be silent if not satisfied witnesses of
proceedings that are scandalously
contemptuous of what the people may
or may not think about them. Occa-
sionally sop is thrown labor's way
in the form Of some petty legislative
proposal that as likely as not will
later be interpreted by the courts
as being directly and Intentionally
against the interests of labor In the
big things, however, labor has learned
to expect little and is net, therefore,
disappointed when it gets nothing
Recently the farmers have learned
that they do not own congress or in
iuenee it in the slightest degree when
they are asking something that the
big interests do not wish them to
have. A few million dollars are ap-
propriated annually for hog culture,
or for seed testing or some such small

Appropriation bills were sidetrack-
ed and the whole legislative machin-
cry was started in motion to grind
out an appropriation Of $350,000,000
demanded by the railroads. In two
days it was rushed through, and the
speaker of the house and the presi-
dent of the senate sacrificed their din
ner and their social engagements that
they might sign a bill that the lobby
lists rushed to them before the ink
recording the votes enacting it had
dried
The haste with which this bill was
rushed through congress proves just
who owns congress. Hundreds Of
millions are voted out of the federal
treasury into the treasures of the
railroads, while railroad lobbyists

learns quickly enough what a small
part he plays in the affairs Of the
government.
A committee of farmers recently
went to the leaders of congress and
requested that consideration be given
the bill regulating the packers and
other measures that are intended to
relieve the wide distress that exists
throughout the nation They argued
with Mr. Mondell the leader of the
house, and left him after a couple of
hours with the flat statement that
congress does not have any time to
devote to farmers legislation
Mr. Mondell wanted the farmers to
know that the time Of congress was
allotted to the consideration of appro-
priation bills, which will not become
effective until next July Nothing
else mattered, he said, and the farm
ers must wait until some time on the
indefinitely remote future for any re-
lief that they feel they should have
to enable them to come through their
present difficulties. No argument
brought to bear against Mondell and
other leaders could bulge them from
this position.

Another Accident at the
Iron Bridge

The third accident within five years oc-
Cured at the iron bridge near the Herricl;
farm on the Laporte Road on Sunday af-
ternoon, when chevrolet car containing
four passengers broke through the heavy
fence and plunged over the ten foot bank
to the planted field below. 1t appears
that the driver of the car, who was wo-
man and just learning at that, turned out
for another car just the other side of TIE
bridge, and striking little sand was Tin
able to regain control of the car. The
man who was also occupying the front
seat seized the steering wheel and attempted
to hold the car in the road, but could not
do so, and after scraping along the fence
for few feet, the latter gave away. The
car turned once and quarter over, but
none of the occupants were seriously hurt,
except for minor bruises and scratches.
The automobile did not fare SO well, suf-
fering serious casualties of smashed and
a twisted mud-guard, totally demol-
ished windshield and frame. and other
lesser injuries. Strong's Garage admins
tered first aid, and with the help of pair
of horses from the Ecson farm near at
hand dragged the machine to the high
way.
Although considerable work has been
donein the way of Strengthening the curve
at this point, it still seems a dangerous
place, and probably always will be as long
than the regulation twenty miles per hour
perscribe for curves. A moral also might
be pointed concerning the selection of a
main thorough fare and Sunday after
noon for instruction purposes. The car
come from Waterbury.
