PUTS A COAL BLAME ON
LABOR
Harry N. Taylor Says Unions Axe
Reducing Available Supply.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Labor union
requirements are "pyramiding costs III
the coal industry and reducing the
available coal supply" senate COM
mittee was told today by Harry N.
Taylor; a Kansas City coal operator,
opposing the Calder coal regulation
bill.
I'm the old days, under John
he said, but since 1910, the miners
Union has been abusing the power the
younger members have obtained and
the older generation has died Oft.
The present miners are slaves to radi-
cal leaders, who control the immense
fund built up under, the check of
systems"
Mr.. Taylor estimated that between
December, 1918, and December, 1920,
mines under his control had lost IL
s38,33s tons Of production by reason
Of strikers, layoffs and similar diff
culties.
One strike in Kansas, he said, made
the production cost rise from $2.78 to
$3.oI ton. s~
THAT was when Alexander Howat.
of whom you may have heard, tied
us up from August, 1919. to January,
1920" he added. I'VE have figured
out that Howat has called 7os strikes
in individual mines in Ii iorty-five
months, which cost the miners So
86678o in wages, and got them $751;
These strikes, our record shows, were
called because Howat was in Jail; be-
cause an I. w. w. was hanged in
Butte; because they didn't like the en-
try way. because it was too cold
because of anything"
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mas
sachusetts. suggested that the dis
placing of English speaking people in
the mines with Slavs and Eastern and
Southern Europeans might have
caused the trouble.
