BEWULDERED PUBLIC Is
BEING EDUCATED

The public's education on Goa
profits continues its merry way WIN
officials who have access to the m
come tax returns recording sIharp
differences, and coal owners plead
ing they are headed for the poor
house
Former Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo is the first educator lie
AYERS that when he held office, in
1917. the coal owners profits were
"indefensible and shocking" and
ranged as high as 1000 per cent.
He ask that the coal owners IN
come tax returns be published. Nat
urally, the coal owners make a
general denial of these profits, and
say they will go as far in the pub
LEGATION of their incomes as any
other industry. Mr.. McAdoo re-
plies: "The publication of returns
for any other industry has nothing
to do with the case"
Secretary of the Treasury Glass
then joins the educators and takes
some of the sting out of the Nc
Adoo claim. He has access to the
same figures as Mr.. McAdoo, whose
estimate of 1000 per cent is shaved
down to 800 per cent. The present
Secretary of the Treasury says soft
coal owners east of the Mississippi
River, made in 1917, what might
be termed fabulous profits, the gen
eral average being from 100 to l5O
per cent on invested capital, the
range being from Is to 800 per
cent"
The coal owners softly admit that
1917 profits were high, but insist
that they do not come within mil
lion miles-more or less-of the
McAdoo- Glass estimates. Since 1917,
they say, many coal owners have
lost money, while the profits of 9TH
ers have been reduced to a pitance.
The public stands bewildered be-
fore these charges and counter
charges,

SCABS WHO CAME TO OPEN SHOP
SAN FRANCISCO IN DEEP WATER
We're Promised Steady Employment Till October LIST But Got
Fired Right and Left Before That Date and Are Now
Exposing Open Shop Ring in Court

What methods have been practiced
to induce employers in the building
industry to hire the nOn-union men
offered to them by the open shop
crowd which has been waging a cam
paign against the union shop princi-
pie in the building trades are being
revealed by suits brought by some
of these non-union workmen for the
recovery of pay promised them for
their services by the open shop rep
resentatives.
A suit for the recovery of ST.
1858 was filed by attorneys f. j..
Talbot and J. f. Manning against
the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce. Builders Exchange and the
Industrial Relations Committee, who
are jointly charged with having
pledged themselves to furnish the
extra money promised to carry on
the open shop fight against organ
lied labor
There are something like forty
strikebreakers represented in the
suit referred to, while Attorney Ar
thur Joel has filed suit in behalf
of couple others for damages ex-
ceeding five hundred dollars, while
l.. G. Macarthur has the case of eight
more for over $500 In each suit
the three organizations mentioned
are named as defendants. The rea-
son for this combination cropping
up in every suit is that they all
worked together so closely that the
name of one appears on one set of
papers and that of the others on
other papers in the possession of
the strikebreakers and it is now
pointed out that this very method
in all probability was adopted to
confuse and discourage the very kind
of damage suits that are now being
brought.
The occasion for the suits is that
contractors supplied with these men
discharged them while they had been
guaranteed steady employment till
October list.
The grievances complained of in
these suits are summed up by j. c.
Dolson in a recent issue of the Rank
and File, which is published at San
Francisco.
"The contract of employment was
made out as between the Builders
Exchange of San Francisco and the
individual strikebreaker. 1t con-
tanned eight paragraphs and its pro-
visions were to be effective from the

Charity to Sick Means
Lower Wage

Boston, Oct. 15.-"The ordinary
citizen does not want charity or
indulgence. He wants a pay en-
velope or a salary check sufficient to
meet his daily needs, with a suffi-
cient margin for emergencies, and
he needs to have his emergencies so
financed that he can pay for them
with that margin"
The above sentiments were ex-
pressed by Richard M. Bradley in
speech, before the American hos
pital Association in which he scored
philanthropic and charity methods in
dealing with the sick. The speaker
is considered an authority in ad
ministering trust funds for charitable
and other purposes.
He said the ordinary citizen APP
preciate endowments of hospitals,
but when he has to go to that hos
pital he wants to go with his head
up and on the basis of self-respect-
ing equality, with no favors asked"
The speaker favored voluntary in
surance against sickness, as a man
takes insurance against fire. He
insisted, however, that wages must
permit men to carry this insurance.
Diseases and Sickness" he said,
"are not expenses that come with
regularity like taxes, rent and food.
They strike here and there, but
owing to the philanthropic fog that
has clouded our financial intellects
in this connection, we, as a rule,
make no provision for that fact. Ii
salaried man or mechanic loses
his house by fire and has no insur-
ance, he is pitied as fool by his
neighbors, because they are EDUCATED
to use fire insurance. But let him
have two or three capital operations,
or severe epidemic in his family,
and it is treated as an act of God.
"The way out for our own or
ganized services, both nursing and
hospital, if they would serve the
whole people, is to put this emer-
gency service of theirs into such
shape that the people can pay for
it; in other words, to sell it to the
consumers in the form of benefit
payments for hospital and nursing
service"
Associated with his plan, the
speaker said a study of social sci
ence shows that with more en-
lightened social and industrial sys-
TEN, the dependent class in this
country, at least, can be reduced to
comparatively small proportion of
the whole and that ait is neither
necessary nor desirable to make that
class a determining factor in the
organized service of the sick"

WHY RAILROAD
MEN STRIKE

The public is being misled by the
daily papers regarding the wage re-
ceived by the railroad workers who
are now preparing for a general
strike on the railroads of the coun-
try.
We herewith give two examples of
the enormous wage received by two
classes of railroad employees, and
other groups receive the same in
proportion.
The first is that of local freight
conductor, one of the highest paid
employees in the freight division.
This man receives the sum of 1882
for work day of eight hours. His
weekly wage for six days is 1912
and for a month of four weeks he
receives the sum total of $156.4S.
Not a huge sum at all. And he has
to have a room and eat his meals
on the other end of his run, which
entails an expenditure on an aver
age of $50 per month, leaving him
the sum of S106.4S with which to
keep his family in food, clothing
and shelter for one month.
A freight conductor on a through
run, where no local freight is hand
led receives $3.50 per day for his
work
While it is true that these men
very often make considerable more
money than the sum give above, this
over-payment is due to the fact that
they are compelled to work II to
16 hours per day, something they
do not want to do and which they
should not be compelled to do.
Take the case of the railway
clerks. This group of railway work
ers are badly underpaid, the aver
age rate of pay being but $115 per
month.
The railroad employees are not
over-paid. In comparison with 9TH
er classes of organized labor they
do not receive fat salaries. They
want living wage and working con-
ditions that are humane. That is
all they are asking for, and that is
what they are going to have even
though they tie up every road in the
country. The II per cent reduc-
ton handed down by the railway
labor board would probably have
been accepted, but the request for
a further reduction has made the
men on the roads determined to
strike rather than submit to in
iustice.-From Labor World.

day the applicant started work until
October /, and from one to sixty
days thereafter at the employers
option. The second and third para
graphs related to the character and
ability of the strikebreaker and his
physical condition. The fourth par
agraph promised work in San Fran
cisco or within a radious of fifty
miles. The fifth stipulated that
strike and lockout conditions pre-
vailed and assured reasonable" pro-
lection. The sixth paragraph con-
tanned the applicants promise to
obey orders and stated the contract
could be voided only for incompe-
tency, false representations, insubor-
dination, or refusal to work when
the employer from responsibility for
injuries sustained through disobedi-
ence to orders or the negligence of
the employee.
"The trouble has arisen over the
two following paragraphs, particu-
larly the seventh. This provided that
the Industrial Relations Committee,
San Francisco Builders Exchange,
should furnish transportation in adj
vance. Ten per cent was to be de-
Quoted from the weekly wages until
the sum thus advanced was repaid.
If, however, the employee remained
"loyaP and was in the employ of
the Exchange on October /, the full
amount of the transportation charges
so deducted was to be refunded to
the strikebreaker.
"In order to avoid the payment of
huge sum on October LIST, the
Builders Exchange contrived to get
a large number of their faithful
hirelings fired before that date. The
reason given for the discharge was
'inefficiency.'
"a trick often resorted to for get
ting rid of the scab before October
1st was reached was to set him at
some work not in his craft. Thus
bricklayers and plasterers after some
weeks of employment would be set
to digging trenches or using pic
axes. If they kicked they would
be fired for INSTRUMENTATION.
"Some contractors, as soon as the
union men decided to go back to
work, fired their scabs Immediately,
thus saving the Exchange a consid-
cradle sum in transportation refunds
which would have had to be paid in
few days more"
