IGNORE CAUSE
OF COAL STRIKE;
REMEDY EFFECT

New York.-"The time to deal with
the coal strike" says the New York
World, twas before it began, when
the operators first intimated their in
tention of breaking their pledge to
confer with the miners on a central
scale and when the miners announced
their intention of striking in retalia-
ton.
Instead of acting at once, the adj
ministration took the attitude that
since winter was long way off the
public could manage to get along
without union coal for a few months.
'rhe best time to deal with the
railway strike was also before it be-
gan, before the railroad labor board
decided to debate railroad labor with
out counting the probable cost in in
terrupted service. Since the board
had its way unchecked and the strike
il on, the time to deal with it Is to
notify the railway executives who
have placed themselves on record as
too respectful of the railroad labor
board to discuss its decisions, that no
such policy is practicable. The rail-
road managers would not dare refuse
to confer if they were talking in the
presence of an administration that
knew when it was defied."

WHY LIVING
COST DON'T
COME DOWN

New York.-'The cost of produc.
ton is not solely determined by the
mechanical pay roll. Fictitious CAPT.
tai, overhead charges and over
capitalization enhances the cost OF
production far more than wages,
says the Iithographers' Journal.
Average earnings have fallen
nearly so per cent since October
1920, with scant prospects at this
time for material improvement. Be.
ginning with March, 1922, figure.
complied by the department of labor
show that the cost of living is on thu
upward trend.
Lockwood committee, has stated thai
building contractors charge customers
from 90 to 279 per cent more thar
the workers are getting. For instance
workers who get 10 cents an hour are
charged for at the rate of So.
"In tariff protected industries
wages have been reduced long ago
while selling prices have been adj
vanced again recently. The federal
trade commission has charged the St
Louis Wholesale Grocers' Association
and the Wisconsin Wholesale Gro
GERS Association with having threat
ened to boycott manufacturers who
do not guarantee their products
against decline in prices.
"A number of industrial combina.
tons, including the United Typo.
theae, have been charged with price
fixing, which is not an indication Of
bringing prices down.
THAT sort of manipulation, and moi
wages, is responsible for the high
cost of living"

EXCELLENT PIECE
OF FICTION BY
BIG BUSINESS

There has just come to hand leaf
let issued by the Association of Rail-
way Executives and for the purposes
of deception no doubt they have
labeled it public Opinion on the
Strike" The entire document is
made up of editorials clipped from
such radical CD newspapers as the
Philadelphia Ledger, New York Trib-
une, etc. The choice quotation which
is set up in display with very APP
propriate heavy black border around
it bears the alluring but misleading
caption, "Once More the Facts the
article is an excellent piece of fiction
and should make Conan Doyle look
like the author of Gospel Stories.
The text of this particular TRADE set
up in black type Is as follows:
What Mr.. Jewell and his cohorts
demand is that railroad shopmen must
have food, shelter, amusement and
other comforts in amounts far ex-
ceeding those the rest of US can hope

employees while the wives of railroad
magnates are buying mausoleums at
cost of $30,000.00 to bury their
poodle dogs and pet canaries in. Of
anyone doubts this statement let them
HE themselves to Pocantico Hills on
the Hudson River). As further proof
of the deceptive nature of the article
we quote another paragraph:
"The demand Of the shopmen with
respect to working conditions is
equally preposterous. As everyone
knows to his sorrow, there was a veri-
table orgy of working restrictions of
the most efficiency killing type during
the days of public control"
The author Of such q statement
knew he lied when he wrote it. The
Association of Railway employers
knew they We're lying when they pub
lished ii and 80 per cent of the peo-
Pile who read it will know it to be a
lie. The United States Railroad Ad-
ministration did not grant time and
one-half for overtime. This practice
was a custom on railroads when many
of the present railway executives
were in their swaddling clothes, SO
why all the smoke screen?

TILE FIRST MONTH.

The FIRST national strike of railroad
workers is now one month old and
still going strong with more men be-
coming affected every day. The rail-
road managers have used every known
method to break the strike and have
failed, Men in high places have
threatened and stormed but TO no
avail, but the men still stand. Hun
dreds of scabs and boys not yet out
Of school have been hired to ride from
place to place in the make believe
that men are plentiful. Railroad pro-
pagandists have lied over the sigma
lures Of railroad presidents. Talk of
company unions has been tried, yet
the strike goes on.
We ask any intelligent citizen, this
one question: Do you think that over
100000 men could be kept on strike
by their leaders on triaing matters
in the face Of all the attempts made
to drive them back to work? We
should remember that these men are
the pick of the mechanics in this
country, they are specially trained
men. They are intelligent, they are
home builders and family men. These
men are thinkers, they are the back
bone Of our transportation systems.
The roads can run without presidents
and the other official appendages, but
they cannot run without mechanics.
All railroad eenters in this country
depend upon the prosperity of the
railroad men for their progress. These
men are not lloatefs, they are citizens
and help to build local and state gov
ernuents they are the people in these
communities. The people who are at
this time trying to dictate the con-
ditions, do not live in these towns,
neither do they care about the pros
pefity Of the country. They live in
famous resorts and in luxury, their
god il gold and their ambition power.
These striking railroad men are fully
realizing, that this must be a finish
fight, not only for their own salxes
bat for the sake Of the common peo-
pie OF America. II the moneyed in
teresIs can defeat these men then we
vii have a reign Of slavery for many
years to come. The small business
man will suffer with his customers
The worker, aud IN the end we will
have standard Of living for all
workers similar to that existing in
most European countries. The strik-
ers know this and nothing viii break
them.

A. T. OF L. METAL
TRADE REFUSE
STRUCK r. K. WORK

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, ID. c, July 20.-Mem-
bership affiliated with the Metal
Trades Department Of the A. F. of
l.. has ceased all repair work on
struck roads which had been trans
ferred to outside repair shops. Boil
ermakers, electric workers, pipe fit
tiers, plumbers, machinists, black
smiths, moulders, pattern makers,
sheet metal workers, eoppersmiths,
painters, carpenters, and helpers EN-
pIoyed in outside plants, such as the
American Locomotive Works, gave
notice that repair work on locomotives
from struck roads would not be
touched during the strike.
1t is known that there are 10000
locomotives in the United States and
$1,000 are due in the repair shops
every month for general repairs If
the efficiency of the transportation
systems is maintained. In addition
nine out of ten locomotives need some
kind of repair work after every trip.
This repair work requires highly
skilled men. Such men do not be-
come strike-breakers. Strike-break-
ers endanger the lives of all men ham
ding the trains and of all passengers.
The following letter has been
mailed to all local metal trades coun-
ellis by A. J. Berries, secretary-treas-
urer of the Metal Trades Department
Of the American Federation of Labor:
For the information of the Council
and its affiliated local organizations
we are quoting telegram which was
sent to the metal trades councils in
localities in which the American Loco
motive Company has plants, which
explains itself.
"Have wired presidents of inter
nationals affiliated with Metal Trades
Department to notify their local UNI
ions at all points where American
Locomotive Shops are located to give
notice to local arrangements that re-
pairs will not be done on locomotives
coming from struck roads becoming
effective Wednesday morning, July IL.
Notify all representatives of local
ORGANIZATIONS
"This action was taken upon the
earnest solicitation Of the organiza-
tons affiliated with the Railroad De-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor, many of whom are also
affiliated with the Metal Trades De-
partment. Every assistance that can
be given to the shop men now on
strike in all railroads should be given.
You will be kept advised of any fur
ther developments so that the men,
bership of the Council will be init
mately acquainted with the situation"

undeflay the industrial unrest and
most of these stories end up In the
same place. Golfers last week carried
a story on the great textile strike In
the east and stated that public opin-
ion, for the first time in decade was
squarely on the side of the strikers.
The cause of bad conditions which
brought on the strike are clearly
pointed out as speculation and bad
management. The coal miners strike
and the rail strikes have the same
ear marks and the public is beginning
to see these things very clearly. The
average business man is beginning to
realize that if he ran his business on
the same basis as many of the cor
porations do they would soon be in
the bankrupt court. Propaganda has
played great havoc with American
public opinion and even members of
Congress admit that this same propa-
ganda has threatened the government
on many occasions.
Recent political battles are evidence
of changing public opinion and in
most Of the states where a candidate
has been connected with the agents of
the big interests, he has been defeat
ed. This same public opinion will be
in evidence this fall, in spite of the
predictions of the dopesters of the
party in power. Public opinion has
been nodded in a false mold and
when the interests undertook to use
public opinion, they found that the
things they figured to put over, were
so raw that it meant tearing down
of democracy and setting up of a
money autocracy. 1t is well that our
people have become alive to the in
tentions of the moneyed interests.

One Of the best signs Of the times,
is the fact that public opinion is I'M

the last three years there has been
a strong tendency with the public to

Today this feeling is almost gone and
the general public is beginning to ask

Of these questions is; what is the

: The fact that any organiza-
: ton affiliated with the A. +. of

/. strike up to this time in no way
. lessons the justice Of the cause
. for which all other affiliated
. unions are striking. Indeed the
. effort by the Railroad Labor
. Board to placate these organ
. izations is at once an admission
. and confession that the Railroad
: Labor Board has erred in its de-
: cision and that 1t has now
. stopped to the position OF trying
. to divide the ranks of the or
: ganized wage earners and is at
. tempting to create friction and
. strife among the wage earners.
. Let there be no mistake: This
. is strike against the Wall
. Street interests and their hire
. lings, the managers who control
: the railroads Of the land and not
. against the United States Gov
. eminent. The Railroad Labor
. Board is not a judicial, execu-
