THE BARRIERS UNION

Does the BARRIERS Union need q bar
rel of galvanic fluid sprinkled on it
or a ton of INT touched off under it
to wake it up to the fact that the
other fellow is fast overriding it?
At the meeting of Trades Council,
Tuesday night, the BARRIERS represen-
tative reported that there are now
twelve non-union barber shops in the
city, and he complained that they are
being patronized by union men. To
his complaint he received an answer
or two that will do good all around
if taken back to his union. But that
is neither here nor there. The fact
remains that there are now II non
union barber shops in town where lit
tie more than a year ago there were
but three The union BARRIERS have
been laying down, too tired to attend
meetings and look after their own
welfare and interests The result is
that unless the members of this craft
get busy they are going to experience
just what the journeymen BARRIERS
went through in Dayton, Ohio, where
through neglect, the union disbanded,
and it was only a short time when
the workers We're taking just what
the bosses cared to hand them and
they begged to be reorganized. 1t
isn't as bad as that in Hamilton, but
going that way fast. 1t is still time
for the BARRIERS to get busy, and with
the help Of Trades Council and aftil-
lated organizations get back to former
times when practically every shop in
the city was unionized. Get busy
brothers, get on the job, and success

HIGH BIDDER
For Army Shoes Proves 70
Be Cheap-Wage Manu-
facturer

Boston-That wages is not the
main factor in shoe merchandising
is again proven by Editor Baine, of
the Boot and Shoe Workers Journal,
who quotes bids recently made to the
government for 10000 pairs of army
officers dress shoes of four specified
types.
On one type of shoe the bids of
nine manufacturers were $4.45, $500
$500, $5.95, $5o7, S5.O5, $737, $5.76,
and $5.75
Editor Baine calls attention to the
wide difference in these bids, the low
est being $4.45 and the highest $500,
the bids, of course, being based on
the same army specifications as to
materials, workmanship and inspec-
tion
Eve do not understand that the
difference in these bids is in any way
chargeable to varied labor COSTS" says
the labor editor.
"A difference of 1851 in price can
not be so accounted for. This differ
ence is more than three times the to-
tai labor cost
Moreover the high bidder has been
running an anti-union shop for many
years, while the low bidder is a first
class concern operating at war peak
wages without reduction
Such instances as these furnish
renewed proof that wages or labor
cost is not the main factor in mer-
chandising shoes"

TWO-PLATOON LEGALIZED

Albany, N. Y-Governor Miller has
signed the Blakely bill confirming the
two-platoon system for fremen now
existing in New York and other first

"The bill is opposed" said the gov
ernor, "by the conference of mayors
solely as matter of principle on the
ground that it violates home rule,
This bill merely gives legislative sane

COAL STRIKE FACTS

Now that the nationwide coal strike
is reality it might be well for those
of US who are not directly involved
to get certain facts straight;
() The bituminous coal mine own
ers have refused to meet the repre-
sentatives Of the workers, although
they signed an agreement to do SO.
The government was a party to that
agreement-in fact, was responsible
for it-but instead of insisting on its
observance the administration,
through Attorney General Daugherty,
is giving out statements calculated to
convince the public that the coal min
ers are a lawless set who will de-
stroy life and property unless re-
strained by the strong arm of fed
eral authority
(2) The miners are fighting for a
living wage. Congressman Bland, of
Indiana, inserted in the Congressional
| Record a statement showing the aver
age earnings of miners in the principal
coal fields In the Pittsburgh field
these workers received an average of
$762 in 1921. In Ohio, $3.50, and in
West Virginia, $500. How can men
live and rear families on such beg
carly incomes?
CD This appalling situation is not
due to the impoverished condition of
the industry While coal miners were
probably never more miserable the
records show that coal mine owners
were never more prosperous.
Many Of the largest coal mining
companies are proceeding on the the
ory that the less coal they produce the
more money they will make.
The Lehigh & Wilkes-B Barre Co. is q
fair example 1t reduced production
30 per cent between 1912 and 1920
but it increased its surplus 900 pei
cent and paid dividends totaling 305
per cent. Scores of other big com.
panies are pursuing the same policy
as the official records show.
(4) The miners in demanding a five
day week and six-hour day are in
sisting that they be permitted to dG
more work, not less Miners are paic
by the ton They can not earn enough
to support their families unless they
are permitted to work at least thirty
hours in the week Newspapers anc
magazines, under the control of the
mine owners, have cruelty distorted
this entirely reasonable demand They
have told the people that the miner:
were receiving such extravagant com
pensation that they could earn al
the money they wanted by working
six hours a day for five days in the
week
This fake did much to ALLEVIATE pub
lie sentiment from the men during the
last coal strike.
(5) The coal miners are fighting
the public's battle as we'll as THEN
own. The operators want to restrict
production and increase prices. The
miners want to decrease prices by in.
creasing production.
If the people could only be made
to grasp that one fundamental truth
the triumph of the miners would be
| assured.
(6) The coal mine owners are pre-
pairing to use the strike as an excuse
for further profiteering. That ex-
plains why the mine owners, and
those public officials who are friendly
