BRITISH MINERS CALL STRIKE
Miners Federation Has Issued Call
For General Strike OF All
Mining Trades

LOndOn.-Great Britain has come TO
the crisis in the dispute between the
coal miners and the government.
The miners federation has issued
a call for a general strike OF all
mining trades, including the pump
men and other maintenance men. I'M
less there is a settlement at once.
This development came suddenly, with
the governments refusal to grant
subsidy payment on coal produced.
Only once before have the miners,
in striking. called out the pumpmen,
and on that occasion only certain
mines were affected. These are the
men who operate the machinery
which keeps the water out of the
tunnels.
If allowed to accumulate for even
a short time, the water may wreak
incalculable damages to the mines.
For the second time in six months,
the government and British industry
are faced with a coal crisis of ire
mendous potentially.
On the previous occasion, the min
by the powerful triple
alliance, including transport workers
and railway men-succeeded in fore
ing Lloyd-George and the labor minis
try to compromise. They licked, how
ever, public opinion, which was dis
tinctly against the strike, and failed |
TO win the fixed flat wage increases
Of shillings a day they demanded.
The government had made ample pro-
vision for maintaining industry and
lines in event of a
strike.
Under the present system, coal is
old in England at approximately the
.ost of production, all profit coming
rom sales abroad. The government
las, therefore, consistently fought to
.eep up production and, upon the in
reased output, would have depended
he payment of increased wages.

corporations and employees, w. ].
Lauck, economist for unions, told the
United States railroad labor board.
Employer and employee are organic

declared. Financing and practically
all business relationship is on a ma

Importance for the peaceful and pro-
ductive development of industry that
employer and employee should work
out national trade agreements" Mr..
Lauck said an investigation of the
labor situation of many industries
tended to show: 1. Industrial peace
is attained by national agreements.
2. Establishment of uniformity in
working conditions is socially import
ant. 3. The unions observe their
contracts. A. Trade agreements are
not inconsistent with the genuine

Labor Board

Chicago-Railroad employees re
Gently laid proposal before Presiden
Harding for a conference between la
Dor and the railroads in an attempt tt
settle the whole transportation prob
lem now confronting the country SC
far as labor is concerned.
In telegram signed by B. M. Jewell
president of the Railway employees de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor, the chief executive was ask.
ed to call a conference between the
railway executives and the labor un-
ions Ito undertake to compose the diff
ferences on all points in dispute" Mr..
Jewell declared the unions had every
faith" that such conference would be
productive of immediate salutary re-
SUITS
The text of the message follows in
full
Two million railroad workers and
their millions of dependents are vital
ly interested in your efforts to effect
a solution of the railroad problem.
Obviously no policy or program that is
unacceptable to them will be produc-
tive of the much desired result of CO.
operation, and, accordingly, therefore,
we urge respectfully that we be given
voice in the determination of what
is to be done.
THE first essential to peace and or
derby progress in the transportation
industry is a speedy settlement of the
controversies between the carriers and
the railway employees over national
agreements and wages, and it is our
belief that you can bring this about
by the application of the principle laid
down by you in your inaugural adj
dress when you said: L had rather sub
NIT our industrial controversies to the |
conference table in advance than to
the settlement table after conflict and |
suffering
Accordingly, we urge that you use
your executive influence to bring about
a conference between the railway exec
utives, as they are organized national
ly and the railroad employees, as they
are organized nationally, to undertake
to compose the bitterness on all points
in dispute. Such conference is con-
by the transportation act
and is in keeping with the spirit of
the times We have every faith that
It will be productive of immediate SAL,
ltary results. The employees will well
come it and cooperate with you in ev-
sry way to make it complete sue !,
.ess.
1--WE have constantly urged this ;
method of procedure as the best means 4
If avoiding the necessary delays and n
expense incident to the submission of +
matters in dispute to judicial deter o
nination by the railroad labor board. T
We prefer at all times to adjust points q
# differences through mutual agree h
nent with the railway executives, be- g
ause of the present abnormal condi- II
ions we consider it essential in the
interests of all concerned to conserve p
ime and effort by reaching an agree
lent through joint conference" a

BANKERS PLAN

MEET WITH WAR FINANCE COR
PoRATIoN TO DISCUSS THE
BOOSTING OF EXPORTS
GOVERNMENT READY TO HELP
Bankers May Be Urged To Pool Re
sources To Provide Ample
Security For Loans

Observation-Disclosures of the war
finance corporation will meet here
soon with representative bankers of the
South to consider methods of financ-
ing exports of cotton and other agri-
cultural products of that section.
The bankers will be informed, it is
understood, that the government is
ready on adequate security to extend
financial aid through the finance cor
poration for expectation of the agri-
cultural products to any part of the
world.
Officials indicate that the bankers
may be urged to syndicate their fl
nancial strength for an export pro-
| gram in order that plenty of security
can be offered for government loans.
Through such a combination of funds,
it is said, nothing ought to stand in
the way of obtaining the necessary
money from the finance corporation.
Cotton growers can meet the present
price situation by carefully consider |
ing" operating expenses and reducing
them whenever there is a likelihood
of obtaining low yield per acre, the |
department of agriculture says, in a
recent report on the results of a sur
vey on basic requirements and cost of |
producing cotton.
By applying last years man and
mule rates for labor and prices then
paid for seed and fertilizer to the
basic requirements in an investiga-
ton in Mitchell county, Georgia, the
average operating expense of cotton
was fixed at approximately 80 cents
per pound there.
Men and mule rates for labor in this
investigation and seed and fertilizer ,
costs, the department says, constitut!!
ed 81 per cent of the total operating
expense, exclusive of land rent. Other ,
expenses amounting to 16 per cent of
the total included such items as gin
ming, manure, equipment, taxes, insur-
ances and overhead. Man labor was I
charged at the rate of 80 cents per I
hour, seed $81 per ton and fertilizer "
1t $46 per ton. From the total cost n
If $56.16 per acre a seed credit of

Asserting that the rates for labor IL
md seed did not start to decline until c.

with cotton around IL to Is cents
