LEWIS WILLING TO HELP
GOVERNOR STOP TROUBLE

indianapolis, Aug. 29.-John L. Lew
is. president of the United Mine
Workers of America, Monday in a
statement declaring that he was
more than willing to join Governor
Morgan in any sincere attempt which
he may make to prevent civil war In
West Virginia and to lend aid to the
constituted authorities In securing re-
spect for the state and federal laws"
Mr.. Lewis said his statement was
prompted by one issue by Governor
Morgan in which the governor declared
that circumstances connected with the
march of armed men through the state
indicated that MIR. Lewis has not
made large contribution in trying
to prevent civil war in West Virginia
or aid the constituted authorities to
suppress defiance of the authorities.
Mr.. Lewis's statement follows:
Says Morgan Is Wrong.
Governor Morgan is entirely in err
ror when he leaves the inference that
| have any knowledge by which to
identity the leaders Of certain armed
bands in the coal fields Of West Vir-
ginia which have as yet refused to
dispense at his command.
Il am more willing to join Govern
or Morgan in any sincere attempt
which he may make to prevent civil
war in West Virginia and to lend aid
to the constituted authorities in secur-
ing respect for the state and federal
laws. As the first logical step in this
direction. | suggest to Governor Nor
gan that he compel the surrender and
disarmament Of the Baldwin -Felts
private army now operating in the coal
fields in that state. II the army of
thugs lay down their arms to the gov
ernment he should also insist that they
also surrender all their privately own
ed munitions Of war, including huge
stores of ammunition, rifles, firearms,
guns, mobile field pieces and
cars.
Governor Morgan can disarm this
private army of thugs if he VIII and If
he is really sincere in the desire to
avoid civil war in West Virginia he
will do this.
Governor Morgan has publicly ad-
mitted that the employment sof an
army of detectives in the coal fields
is reprehensihle and indefensible. Hav-
ing such convictions. his obvious
duty is to drive them out.

RUSS PAPERS COMMEND
REDS FOR GETTING u. S. AID

Riga, Aug 29.-According to the
Letvian agency, all the business of the
committee is to be transferred to Nj.
Smidovich, a member Of the Central
executive committee.
News of the abrupt liquidation of
the first Nonpartisan organization by
the bolshevik government was cabled
to Washington Monday by the Amer
ican Relief Administration representa-
tive at Riga.
The action of suspending the com
mittee was no surprise to Riga. since
the beginning of the famine relief drive
it had few real powers, the actual con-
troll of the famine operations resting
in the hands of small commission
appointed by Lenine.
Moscow newspapers are filled with
editorials extollfng the bolshevik gov
ernment for it's success in securing
foreign aid. and for what is referred
to as the local progress in Russia.

Many of the seven million persons
living in districts where crops proved
absolute failure. began migrating to
Turkestan and Siberia, weeks ago, but
this migration has been stopped by a
government shipment of $4,000 pools
(21O,OO0 bushels) of seed grain and the
assurance that more seed would be
supplied in order to insure next years
crops. Kameneff said that only about
100000 persons actually migrated and
that this movement now was negligible.
According to Kameneff nine million
persons have seed grain and four pools
of grain for eating, but as eleven pools
Of grain for eating are necessary until
the next harvest is garnered, the people
must have help.
Continuing, Kameneff said that seed
and good medicines were imperative
needs. The soviet government was
grateful for Americas help through
Herbert Hoover. but it was desirous
of letting the world know how much
more aid was necessary.

Time to Adopt Elaht.Hour Day.

Employment in the steel and iron
mills decreased 18 per cent in Janu-
ary as compared with December, ac-
cording to figures issued by the gov
ernment. 1t was the largest slump in
jobs registered among thirteen manu-
featuring industries survey, by the bu-
reau of labor statistics.
The reason is obvious of course
the other industries were hit harder
and earlier. But the drop serves. at
any rate, to emphasize the arguments
for the adoption Of the three-shift day
in steel and iron, writes Arthur NJ.
Evans in the Chicago Tribune. With
the plants operating at the present
gait, the establishment of the eight
hour day in the continuous processes,
it is estimated, would give, work to
$4,000 or $4,000 more men.

LABOR UNREST IN BRITAIN
General Idea That Wage Struggle on
a Large Scale Is About to
Be lnaugurated.

All signs point to the colliery indus
try as the first which will be engaged
In wage struggle on a large scale,
in the British Isles. There will be
new development soon following
upon the detailed inquiries by both
parties in the wage negotiations to dis
cover what the general body of both
owners and miners desire.
In the meetings in the various coal
fields, the miners have declared for a
new standard wage, embodying nearly
all present earnings, while the owners
declare that. unless wages are sub
stantially reduced, many collieries must
close. The attitude of the miners will
be decided at coming national con-
ference, and in the subsequent re-
newed negotiations a decisive stage
will be reached. A struggle is regard
ed as almost certain, and the fact that
many colliery owners, especially in
South Wales are giving notice to
terminate contracts in fourteen days
so that thereafter the mines may be
closed at one days notice, is regarded
as an ominous portent.

WAGES and
INFANT DEATHS
Official Government Report Re-
VeaIS Close Connection Be-
tween the Two.
BABES DENIED MOTHERS CARE
Mortality Great Where Women Were
Compelled to Work in the Mills to
Exc Out Fathers lneome-Poor
Home Sanitation.

How industrial conditions affect a
baby's chance of living beyond it's first
year is described in a report on Infant
Mortality in New Bedford" issued by
the children's bureau of the United
States Department of Labor.
Unskilled and semi-skilled occupa-
tions predominant in the cotton indus
try, and at the time the survey was
made wages were low in the Massa-
chusetts city. A low income was ac-
ccmpanied, as in other Industrial cit
les, studied by the bureau, by poor
home sanitation, congestion, lack of
adequate medical care and a mother
who was overworked, either in the fac
tory or at home.
over half of the New Bedford babies
lived in the river section, where the
worst living conditions in the city were
to be found. There families of from
10 to IS, including dodgers, were in
many. cases crowded together in FIVE
room tenements.
Practically all the mothers working
in the cotton mills of New Bedford
were in families where the father
earned less than the amount necessary
TO maintain a decent standard of liV-
ing. Almost half of all the mothers
were gainfully employed, chiefly in the
cotton mills, during the year before
the baby was born, and two-fifths dur
ing the year following the babys birth.
Most of these mothers worked during
both periods. The harmful results
OF depriving a young baby Of its moth
er's care and nursing are shown in
the fact that among the babies whose
mothers left them to go out to work
when the baby was less than four
months old the mortality was nearly
twice the average rate.
The lOw-incOme group showed high
mortality rate, while the group having
income sufficient to insure proper care
and surroundings for the mothers and
babies had low mortality rate. In
the low-wage group 20 babies out of
every hundred born alive died before
the end Of the first year. In the high
est wage group only six out of every
hundred babies died.

LabOr's Exodus Erom ohio Farms

Labors Exodus From Ohio Farms"
According to a recent survey made
BY an agricultural statistician of the

mates and the Ohio bureau of agricul-
tural statistics, there was a decrease
Of 10000 men and boys over 15 years
of age working on farms in Ohio for
the year ended June, 1920. The sur
Yey covered from 100 to 300 farms in
every county of the state. For every
man who came back 20 farm life dur
ing the year covered, seven left farms
for other work.
1t is estimated from the returns that
at present 100000 men and boys are
actually working on farms as COM
pared to 100000 a year ago and ap-
proximately 100000 three years ago."
Seventy thousand were reported as
having been hired for wages, while
year ago there were nearly 100000.
About One-half, therefore, of those who
abandoned the farm during the twelve
months covered by the survey were
hired men.
