MACHINISTS CRY
"WOLF'.AT ROADS
(RY Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. y.-'jnless the
railroads of the country are restrained
from assigning locomotive and freight
repair work to outside companies at
"extortionate prices" it will cost the
public at least three quarters of a
billion dollars annually, declares a pc
tition submitted to the Interstate Com
Ir1erce commission by the International
Association OF Machinists urging imme-
date invest. .ga.ion of the practice.
Such an investigation already has been
ordered by tic commission on the com
plants of labor organizations. While
the primary motive of the roads in
farming out their repair work, the as
sociation petition declares, is to secure
profitable returns on certain equipment
companies controlled by the same in
terests thas control the railroads, an
other object it said, is to disrupl he
raiIi oad labor organizations deve ope5
during the war by clsing their own re-
pair shops and throwing men out Of
employment. The practice is declared
to be especially prevalent among
railroad managements affiliated with
the banking house OF j. p. Morgan and
company
The petition urged that placing Of
repair work with outside companies be
made subject to permit by the inter-
state Commerce commission on condi-
tion that ,he railroad cannot perfrm
the required work in its own shops or
at es low cost as by the outside
companies. 1t urged as another con3i-
ton that the contractor be compelled to
observe the same conditions of eIn-
Lloy.nent as guaranteed 10 workers by
the transpoI tation act and awarls of
the railway wage board.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 9.-To
carry to a finish the strike of the
union coal miners in Alabama nd the
lockout" in Mingo county, West Vir-
ginia. the United Mine Workers of
America has sent letters to the 1000
local unions in the country levying an
assessment of 81 a month for two
months on the entire membership,
numbering $4,000, according to an
announcement made tonight at the in
ternational headquarters here by Ellis
Searles, editor of the Mine Workers
Journal. Approximately 10000 per-
sons in the two fields are being sup
ported by the international union,
which, UP to Jan. 4, had expended ST.
345,000 out of its treasury for this
purpose
THE sufferings which the men,
women and children living in both of
these coal fields have undergon chal-
lenge the admiration of every member
of our union," reads the letter sent to
the local unions. They have been
thrown out of their honaea; they have
ibeen denied the right of free assem-
blage, have been subjected to the
brutal treatment of private army of
gunner, guards and thugs employed
by the coal operators and to the re-
pressive military regulations which
have been established by the state and
federal troops ordered into these min
ing communities. Such heroic actions
call for our full support in the strug-
gle these brave men and women are
making against the forces of corpor-
ate greed and corporate power
William Green, international secre-
tary- treasurer of the organization,
said the assessment would raise ap-
proximately $1,0O0,00O, all of which
would be used for the relief of these
men and their families
