SLASH WAGES 80 PER CENT
Sharp Cut for Bituminous Miners An
nounced in Scott's Run Field,
West Virginia.

A 30 per cent reduction in the wages
of mine workers in the Scott's Run BIZ
luminous coal fields of West Virginia
was announced at Pittsburgh by the
Monongahela Coal association, at the
conclusion of a meeting lasting two
days. The scale, which also elm
mates the "check off, will become Op-
erative April 1, and includes work
men in 65 mines along the MonOnga-
hela & Wheeling railroad
"The miners leaders," said a state
ment issued by the association, have
apparently shut their eyes to the
changes that have been going on in
the way of adjusting wages in other
industries to present conditions. They
have refused to recognize these con-
ditiOns, and to carry their share of
the burden of defiation."
The statement added that retention
of the present scale made it impoSSi-
BILE for the operators to sell their coal
In competition with districts where
wages and rates were much lower"

strike" said Mr.. Mcmahon, ito give
no opportunity to the employers to
fense, the military arm of our coun-
try, to picket every mill and to do so
without fear, for as American citizens
they have that right. 1t is very evil

ers in the southland to reduce their
employees to system of peOnage."

CAN YOU TELL WHY

Labor laws are always declared
constitutional?
All workmen canot see the benefit
of organization?
Union men so often fail to demand
union goods?
So many members never attend un-
ion meetings only when out of a jC
or in trouble?
So many members think unionism
consists only of paying dues?
Some members always have i'm
portant business on meeting nights I?
Some unionists never pay THEN dues
until threatened with expulsion?
Some members yell on the street
corners, but whisper in the lodge
rooms?
We so often forget our own faults
but never fail to detect our neigh
borS?
We expect our union to be power
full when we refuse to furnish the
ammunition (brains and money!?
