COAL MINERS
ARE WARNED
OF ATTACK
a. F. Of L. News Seryice)

dianapolis.-From England comes
warning to the United Mine Work
ers of America that coal owners are
preparing to attack them all along
the line at the expiration Of their
wage agreement, next March. Other
trade unionists may be involved.
The information Is forwarded by
Henry Evans, English spondent
Of the United Mine Workers Jour
nal. He is weIl-known to older
trade unionists because of his asso-
citation with the movement on this side
of the water.
Il have information at hand" he
writes, that there are several per
sons over here representing some OF
the largest financial, industrial and
commercial interests in the United
States. These persons represent dis
tricts that are entirely under the Jur-
isdiction of the United Mine Workers
of America. They are seeking and
gathering up all information from en-
ployers in the various mining districts
concerning the wage reductions that
have takn place during the months
from July to November. Every de
tail is given them from the employ
ers' combine.
These people are out to break up
the United Mine Workers of America
and every other labor union, if ii is
possible to do so. Their method is to
work short time and starve the work
ers before they fight them, which
was done over here before out l3-
weeks stoppage in the summer. We
we're properly cleaned up before we
started to fight.
"The check off will be rejected by
the American coal operators in your
next conference. That is one of the
questions which they inquired much
about So there is more to these mis-
sions than wind.
81 intend, if possible, to get you a
full report of the reductions that
have taken place in the various dis
tricts since we started to work in
July, and any other information that
think may be of interest to you
Don't misunderstood my writing tc
you on these questions that | am in
any way sending them to interfere
with your future plans. | simply
Fsend them as information, to show
how closely allied are the interests
of the two nations in their invested
interests.

CHICAGO BUILDING
TRADESMEN LINE UP
BEHIND CARPENTERS
(By The Federated Press)

Chicago.-The long struggle OF the
$4,000 members of the Carpenters
District Council against the wage
sashing campaign of the building
contractors of this city has forced the
rest of the building trades unions to
line up behind the carpenters and de-
clare that they will not work with
non-union labor. A resolution adopt
ed by the Chicago Building Trades
Council Friday night pledges the 80
trades affiliated with the council to
call off their men on all construction
work where non-union carpenters or
non-union men of other trades are be-
ing employed.
The Lands award slashing wages
and abolishing priced union working
conditions, which was relied upon to
bring the unions ''to time" was an
nounced last summer and since that
time the daily press of the city has
devoted hundreds of columns to coax
ing and cajoling the workers to accept
the award. Many union officials did
commit their organizations to the
award but from the first the rank
and file bitterly opposed it. The car
penters at no time accepted the award
and huge sums of money were raised
by committee" of millionaires not
ed for their hostility to organized la
Dor for the purpose of forcing the
"open shop" on the building industry
Efforts were made to import non
union men and under the Lands
award the trades accepting it were
| obliged to work with the non-union-
lists. According to President Jensen
the committee" did not secure many
competent workers and from the first
the carpenters have had no difficulty
in securing employment. The com
mittee" inundated contractors pay
ing the unios scale and the Carpen-
ters' District Council now has before
the courts an appeal from an injune-
ton restraining the millionaires from
interfering with their agreements
with contractors.
At present the carpenters receive
$1.25 per hour. Lands ordered them
to work for 81 per hour. President
Jensen announces that in a vote Just
taken 5000 members favor accepting
cut to S1.10 an hour and 1900 OPP
pose any reduction. Two large locals
are yet to be heard fron.

PROFITS OF STANDARD
OIL GREATER THAN ANY
OTHER CORPORATION

New York.-Being Smashed" by
the United States supreme court has
not affected the prosperity of the
Standard oil trust. This corporation
is now operating in units, which report
a combined profit for the year 1920 Of
$405, 9l6,545, after all taxes have been
paid and liberal deductions made for
depreciation, etc. The combined earn
ings in 1912 were S17S,272,047. This
increase for all companies of $227,-
642,49S in 1920 represents a gain of
1870 per cent.
The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey shows the biggest profits. 1t
earned more than any other corpora
ton, Standard Oil or otherwise, in
1920. Its profits of 64,46l 400 in
1920 were but 100000 less than
the entire Standard Oil group in 1912.
They were 370 per cent greater than
the $35, 107 ,8S7 profits reported by
the New Jersey unit in 1912.
Standard Oil of California was the
second largest Garner of the group
in 1920. Its SAL ,655,254, compared
with 81, 106,156 in 1912, is an increase
of over $50 per cent.

WILLIAM 5. TART PLAYS
THREE BIG PARTS IN
NEW PH0TOPLAY

William S. Hart in triple role.
That is one of the novel features of
"Three Word Brand" his latest Para
mount picture, which will be shown at
the Virginia theater Friday and Sat

posture was remarkably we'll done.
The task of keeping the characters
absolutely distinct was a problem for
any actor, but Mr.. Hart succeeded
where many would have failed and
the illusion is perfect.
The star appears as the father of
twin boys in the prologue. He dies
by his own hand rather than be cap
tured by Indians and the children are
rescued. They grow up, one to be-
come a rancher in Utah, the other
the governor of the state.
Jane Novak, one of the most beau
tiful actresses of the screen, is lead
ing woman in this picture, which is
said to possess qualities of interest
that are most unusual. The comedy
arising from the dual role of rancher
and governor is highly effective and
spontaneous to a degree. The sup
