SENATORS WANT

Progressive Bloc Talks OF Fed.
eraI Seizure as Plan to
End Strike.
By WILLIAM X; HUTCHINSON


The Senate barred its teeth today
TO the warning factions In the
nation wide coal strike.
A threat to invoke Governmental
Intervention as a means Of ending
the coal tie-up was climaxed today
by revelation that q movement was
under way in the Senate to enact
a Joint resolution authorizing the
President to seize all mines in
strike areas.
The proposed action was gaining
support from both Democrats and
Republicans who declared they
would favor this unprecedented
remedy II pacific methods failed to
settle the controversy.
Tho movement was launched by
former Progressives, who recalled
the sudden termination of the great
bitundnous strike OF 1902 when
President Roosevelt summartly
threatened to seize all mines un-
less a settlement was reached. In
tr, 1uctiCn of the proposed resolu-
ton, 1t was learned authoritatively,
has already been the subject Of one
conference of former Progressivcs.
Senator Norris Rep) Of Ne.
braska declared today he was
among the Senators who had at
tended this conference. He said he
was now considering the advisable
ity of introducing a resolution to
carry the proposed seizure into ef-
feet.
"A question Of life and death is
raised by this coal sirlke..' said
Norris in explaining his position
Coal is an absolute necessity for the
preservation Of life. The American
public will freeze next winter unless

out, and the people will suffer asor.
les next winter.
Besides this tremendous danger
to human life. the strike is slowly
paralyzing business, and eventually
will cripple our transportation sys-
TENS which depend on coal for opera
ton. 1t is time to act long before
such eventualities occur. If no
other remedy is offered 10 end this
strike within a reasonable time,
will try to get a resolution aIthor-

announced they favored this seizure

as the richest man in this thriving
town of $500 inhabitants. With his
charming wife and three sons he oc'

Five minutes walk from the Ros

A year ago Roscoe bought a ranch
at Pearl river. five miles from this
town, where he and his family
moved. But Roscoe kept his mem
oership In the Westwood church,
where each Sunday his rich bass
voice entranced the congregation.
But Roscoe missed the many visits
he used to make to the HoaGlaad
home. His opportunity came when
he sold Hoagland secondhand
automobile at an astonishingly low
price and offered to teach the pretty
wife how to drive IL. This plan was
agreeable. He trusted Roscoe.
Long after she had learned to
drive. Roscoe continued his visits 10

She confessed, II love Roscoe" she
said. Hoagland took one OF his
children and went to live with his
parents at Wychoff.
Last Saturday Roscoe and Mrs.
Hoa gland returned to the humble
Westwood cottage. The neighbors
protested. They said In effect:

Monday night the two penitents

The preacher sent for them both.
Mrs. Roscoe arrived and took her

that II Hoagiand would not take

Tuesday night Hoagland. his

WANTS LABOR
BEATEN BACK
TO NORMALCY

The employer press Is unanimous
in declaring that Labor must be de-
flated before this country can get
back to normalcy.
How absolutely necessary a gen.
eral reduction in wages Is to insure
a fair and reasonable return to capital
is proven by figures printed in the
Labor Age concerning the Amoskeag
Textile Mill of Manchester, N. H.
Here are some of the facts which
were dug out about that suffering
institutions:
That the company's capitalization
had been increased from $4,000, 900 to
over S44 100000 without the contribu-
tion of a single dollar except profits.
quick assets nearly equal to the total
of its capitalization. That the com
pany had paid out nearly $4,000 900
in dividends in the bad year of 1921.
That the company had paid out 409
per cent more in dividends In 1921
than it did in 1911. That 500 in
vested in the company's stock 20
years ago has yielded its possessor
S670 in dividends, and that the stock
itself Is now worth $1,175.
Not so bad for a concern that can
not afford to pay living wage TO its
sixteen thousand employees.
And thousands of other industries
would show similar earnings II the
facts we're only known.
Isn't it about time for organized
labor to establish a central fact find
ing agency and thereby put an end
to the swindle that Labor is starving
capital?

SCORE DEAD
AS RESULT OF
MINE TROUBLE

A score dead and about as many
wounded is the result Of a conflict
between union miners on one side anu
non-union employees of a mine at
Herrin, III. The casualties include
two union miners and about nineteen
non-union mine employees.
The trouble dates back several
weeks TO the time the union miners
ceased work because the mine owners
refused to abide by agreements with
the union. Attempts were made last
Wednesday by the union miners 70
adjust certain phase OF the trouble,
and a committee of two unarmed un-
ion miners were sent to the mine
After being admitted TO the stockade
surrounding the mine, they stated
the object of their mission, upon
which they were fired upon by the
armed thugs employed by the mipe,
one member of the committee being
killed outright and the other severely
wounded.
Upon hearing of this outrage union
miners from Herrin and the surround
ing country retaliated with the above
results.
Authentic reports from the Herrin
district are meager. Newspapers
have given a garbled report, con-
flicting in many instances and some
time will elapse before the straight
of the matter will be known.
The coroner's jury's verdict places
the blame for the killings upon the
mine owners, and found that the non.
unionists died from gunshot wounds
at the hands of unknown persons.
The jury also found that the union
miners were murdered by persons IN
the employ of the mine.

Strong protest" was made against
the action of railways in Canada and
the United States promoting r1en
during the taking of a strike vote
and it was decided that in future
accept official positions pending the

trainmen, by resolution, declared
against any further reduction in
wages or the elimination of time and
a half for overtime.
A protest against the refusal of the

comply with the decision of the U. s.
railway labor board, through which
it has refused to pay approximately
$4,000 due trainmen under the
award, was referred to President Lee
with instructions to collect the
amount.

JULY l DATE
SET FOR BIG
RAILWAY STRIKE

From the best authorities avail
able, the strike vote taken by the
shop crafts and maintenance of way
men has carried overwhelmingly, and
from present prospects these crafts
will cease work on July l, unless the
ultimatum of the unions that the rail-
roads Immediately ignore the recent
wage cuts authorized by the railway
labor board and reinstate the working
conditions, demanded by the unions,
which virtually means the abolition
of the contract plan of making repairs
on equipment.
Counteracting this demand on the
part of the unions, the railroads an
nounced Wednesday that should a
strike be called, all shop work would
be placed under the contract plan.
1t is said local railway men voted
about 95 per cent for strike, and
it is believed they win walk out al
most TO a man in support of their de-
mands-
