REJECT OFFER
British Miners Turn Down
Government Proposal

London, England. - The govern,
ment's offer to contribute 910,000,0O0
to the coal industry has been rejected
by striking coal miners. The money
was to be spread over period of
four months to increase wages in dis
tricts where rates are low.
The miners declare that the offer is
temporary solution, and at the end
of the four months the fight will have
to be renewed.
The miners insist on their original
demand-a national wages pool, while
the government is supporting the coal
owners demand that wages be set
by districts. The miners plan pro-
vides for small levy on each ton of
coal mined in Great Britain, which
will be used to equalize wages in the
poorer districts. The coal owners dis
trict plan, the miners declare, would
make it possible for Welsh miners to
be working overtime, while Scottish
miners were starving, and for York
shire miners to be working while
South Wales was on strike.
The government is conducting a
publicity campaign in mining sections
in behalf of it's offer, while the coal
owners "detest" the wages pool plan
even more than the naturalization of
mines

PETER SCHMIDT
Elected President Of Car
penters' Union
By O. E. sippel

: oy ~. AI 0iPpCi
The meeting of Carpenters Union
Local No. 637, held Thursday, June
9Th, was one of the most interesting
ever held in the long history of the
organization. The feature of the oc-
casion was the annual election of off,
GERS. There was plenty of opposit-
tion for all the offices, attesting the
interest Of the members in the affairs
of our union. Lou Nau, who has been
our very efficient and painstaking
president for the past six years, de-
clined to run again for the office, and
this was very much regretted by all
the members.
Pete Schmidt, an old war horse in
the harness of the carpenters, was
elected president. The other officers
are: Jack Hurst, vice president;
Grant King, recording secretary;
Chas. Chapen, financial secretary; Phil
Ray, treasurer; Thomas Hall, trustee;
Pete Schmidt, delegate to Trades
Council; Tom Hedberg, warden; H. L.
Apwish, conductor. The members of
the executive board are: Pete Schmidt,
Chas. Druck, A. E. Eggleston, H.
Jameson, George Raisch and Jack
Hurst.
Business Agent Herman Perpingon,
while only representing our organiza-
tion short time, has been very faith
full and conscientious in the perform
ance of his duties, and as a reward
was elected for a full term. Chas.
Chapen, who has been the financial
secretary for the past two years, was
again honored with that office.
Most Of the old officers declined to
run for reelection, feeling that they
had done their duty as officers in
the past, and being wide-awake men
they also believe that new broom
always sweeps good, and that a
change in officers arouses enthusiasm
among the members, and so for that
reason they were willing to step out.
Let us hope that the members will
stand back of the new officers and
that we have the most prosperous
year in the history of our organiza-
tion

TEACHERS RESIST
Cut in Pay to Provide Old
Age Pension

Tallahassee, Fla. - Public school
teachers in this state are facing a
wage cut to provide an old age pen
sion for them The plan is being re-
sisted by practically every teacher in
the state These teachers show that
their wage does not provide a decent
living.
1t is proposed that sums deducted
from the teachers be placed to the
credit of board appointed for that
purpose. The funds shall be invested
and any losses shall be charged to the
fund, as will cost of wages for the
board and it's operating expenses.
The scheme is based on the as
sumption that the teachers need a
guardian, so the politicians step in,
create a few soft snaps for them
selves and establish fund out of the
meager earnings of teachers with
which to take flyers" in the stock
market.

PROFITS IN SHIPPING

New York.-The international Mer-
camille Marine Company made clear
profit Of $9,444,157 last year. This
stupendous amount is exclusive of all
charges, and was made after deduct
ing operating and general expenses,
income and excess profits taxes, inter
est on bonds and setting aside $4,417,-
854 for depreciation in steamers.
This "clear velvet" of more than
SO 100000 is about one-half of the
clear profit made in 1919.

MAY TAX VAULT
SPACE

Washington The United States
supreme court has ruled that the Dis
trict of Columbia has the right to tax
merchants who use vault space under
sidewalks. Business men claimed
that their permits to construct were
in such form that they were given a
vested right in property in the vault
in the street of which they would be
deprived without due process of law
if they were required to pay.
The court held that the permit "is
a mere naked permission to build"
and carries with it no vested rights.

WARNSCOAL OWNERS
They May Force Mines Into
Government Control

Philadelphia.-B. C. Forbes, who is
considered business authority, drops
hint to coal owners that they may
go too far in upholding prices.
In the Public Ledger, Mr.. Forbes
writes:
Goal is not being produced from
the mines today at a rate sufficient
to meet next winters normal require
ments. Rather than make coal cheap
err, operators have chosen to throw
more than 100000 miners out of work.
Pay our price or go without is the
ultimatum they have presented to the
American people. 1t is daring pol
icy to pursue, considering the past
performances of coal barons and the
American public's bitter feeling to-
ward them. Apparently the coal sell
ers reason that product is a necessity
and that the public will be forced to
step up to the counter and pay the
high prices demanded.
'They may be guessing wrongly.
eff the present deadlock lasts very
much longer, public opinion is likely
to demand that the government step
in and break it ruthlessly.
"The coal people would do well not
to invite such extreme action, for
they are likely to find that their stub
bornness was lamentably shortsight-
ed
'There are few industries in Amer
lea which, size considered, have made
more millionaires than coal"

TREATIES WON'T END
WAR

New York.-Treaties signed by men
who want war will never bring world
peace, declared Dr. William H. P.
Faunce, president of Brown Univer-
sity, in an address to New York uni
versity students.
"As practical people," he said, 1--WE
must realize that peace will not come
through more paper programs or
pleasant dreams. 1t will never come
through increasing armaments and
building battleships which must be
used to prevent a total loss of the in
vestment. 1t will only come through
men who have looked for the best in
their neighbors and have armed
against their foes by disarming them
of suspicion"

STOCK BROKERS BLUFF

Philadelphia.-Tucked away in the
financial columns of a local newspa-
per is this statement by Our Wall
Street Correspondent" that is only
intended for business interests:
"The trading element professed to
be greatly disappointed over the rul-
ing of the railway labor board on the
railroad wage question, but the dis
appointment was more artificial than
real. Several weeks ago intimations
were made by the board that the re
duction contemplated would be be
tween 10 and 15 per cent"

COMPENSATION LAW
Urged For District of CO.
lumbia BY A. F. of L.

Washington.-In urging a compul-
sorry workmen's compensation law for
the District of Columbia, Edgar Wal
lace, A. F. of L. legislative represen-
tative, explained to a congressional
committee how business men evade
voluntary compensation laws. He said
trade unions are compelled to employ
skilled attorneys to secure justice
when private liability companies are
permitted to operate.
"If the organized workers are
forced, for the protection of their
members, to secure adequate legal
help, what then is the status of the
unorganized workers ?" he asked.
ITO my knowledge, the compensa-
ton law has been nullified by corps
of expert claim agents employed by
the insurance companies and by the
Vaccinations of the very competent
lawyers that the insurance companies
employ to save the payments that
the insurance companies have agreed
to assume"
The witness made the point that
the proposed law considers the fam
lilies of workers who might be killed
or. injured, while private insurance
company, considering only the value
of the premium as compared to the
risk, would ask lighter premiums in
plants or industries where the work
men employed have no dependent rel
atives.
"The result would be to discourage
the employment of married men,
men with dependent relatives, and
would work to the detriment of the
country as a whole" the trade union
ist said.

WILL CONTRACTORS
TELL?

Trenton, N. J.-Trade unionists
have started a back fire against con-
tractors who claim that high" wages
are retarding building. The unionists
demand that contractors tell how
much over the days wages they
charge customers; also the profit they
charge on materials used above their
cost to the contractor.
The workers wage is known, and
so is the price of material, so let the
contractors tell what percentage they
charge, say the unionists.

In 1893. but were rebuilt and the ac-
tual creation Of the academy as known

At various times after 1775 this
strategic location was fortified and at
the close OF the Revolutionary war

for the storage of military property.
The majority Of the commanding
generals on both sides Of the Civil war
were graduates Of this academy.
This fact brought the Importance OF
the institution 50 prominently before
the world that Its methods were care
fully studied by experts Of practically
every nation Of prominence In the
whole world.

three years and constitutes the most
complete military training in existence
