Secretary of Commerce

Much as we all regret it, | believe
great strike of soft coal miners to
be inevitable for the following rea-
sons:
0ne-About 20 epr cent of the
mines are non-union. These opera
tors have been able to adjust their
scales downward, thus enabling them
to keep down the cost of production
and to grab off the cream of the
trade during the past year at the
expense of the unioniezd mines and
miners.
The non-union operators have been
enabled to give their miners more
steady employment, while the union
miners have worked on the average
only 1872 days of the year, which at
$3.50 average minimum wage per day
would give them but $1,365 a year.
But this is not the worst of it.
This average of 1872 days employ
ment has not been evenly distributed.
Many union miners have worked far
less than 1872 days, so that many of
them have had.a bare living, others
less than an existence.
Loss of business to the union
mines has naturally depressed the
operators, while the sight of non
union miners getting steadier EN-
ployment did not tend to raise the
spirits of the union miners
No Wage Agreement
Two--No wage settlement, as
see it, between the union miners and
their operators can correct this fact
of the non-union mines. Again many
operators feel they cannot attend a
wage conference because of the in
inuction issued by Federal Judge An
derson at Indianapolis.
But the coal problem is much
broader than the foregoing. The OPP
orators feel that it lie due to the high
price of American coal, caused by

high wages and high transportation
costs, that we have lost our foreign
export coal trade, which was nor
mally 100000 tons the month and
which occasionally reached maxi
mum of three million tons. All that
is gone now.
England is actually exporting coal
to ports on our coast where she has
not sold before for 20 years. Trans
Atlantic ships no longer bunker at
our ports, but carry their entire coal
supply from the. European side
Inventions Save Coal.
i Then again, the high price of coal
during the war and since, has
brought into use great coal saving
inventions, expensive CRATES and the
like, which have vastly prevented
waste of fuel, but which when coal
was cheaper were not considered
economically necessary. The result
has been to considerably reduce the
demand for coal.
Independent ironmasters claim
too, that the high price of coal is
an important factor in retardine
economic and industrial reconstruc-
ton, by increasing the price of iron
products and thus keeping the pro-
Queer from buying.
Now to all this President Lewis, of
the coal miners union, replies that
he cannot consent to any wage re-
duction, and, indeed, feels that an In
crease is necessary.
For these reasons, | feel Goa
strike is inevitable.
