THE COAL STRIKE.

More than 6oo,ooo coal miners III this country and Canada are out on strike because the mine operators, greedy for more profits and con trolled by the financial powers who forced the industrial depression ot wear ago and which still continues, refused to live up to their contract to meet the miners last month and make a new working agreement. The gov ernment was a party to that agree ment but even the government was powerless to make the mine owners carry on their contract.
 As usual the capitalistic press IS hard at work trying to throw the blame upon the workers but this time the public will not be fooled because even the capitalistic press before the strike started, was compelled to state, even though it tried to state it i'll a whisper, that the miners would go out because the operators refused to meet with them" But while they stated this beforehand they are now trying to bring about feeling of dis content among the public that will becloud the real reason and make 1t appear that the miners are being led by lot of bolshevists seeking to dis rupt the country.
 For instance on Tuesday night, the New Haven Register, always the champion of anything that looks like real money, in it's leading editorial commented on the coal strike and counselled its readers to keep cool as at the proper time President Harding would step in and send the naughty miners back to work In almost the next column on it's editorial page it stated, "the miners are out and soon will be down and out," and went, on with several other slurs calculated to make its readers think the miners are a bunch of highbinders.
 But the advice the Register gave i'll it's first column can we'll be taken by every labor man. Keep Cool" There Is enough coal above ground now to care for the country for several months and some more is being mined in districts fair to labor. Congress is demanding and the miners supporting a thorough investigation of the en- tire coal industry. The operators are mum-they don't want any such probe knowing full we'll that if carried on properly it would show just who owns the mines and what transpires from the time the miner sinks his
 
 the consumer and such a thing as that would certainly cause a demand for government control if not owner ship of the mines.
 The miners are fighting for a bare living wage. The fake statistics showing their big daily wage are be- ing shown up and the people begin ming to understand that instead Of working full year round at that wage the miner in reality works about one-third of the year and has to pay back more than half he receives into the company's stores to get the needs of existence. The miners are fighting the public's battle as well as their own. The operators want to restrict production and keep the cost of coal up to war levels. The miners want to work more and earn more thereby and if allowed to do so production would not only enable costs to drop but would afford the operators an ample profit.
 Therefore keep cool-let Congress investigate if it will. The miners will win and the public will benefit

By International Labor News Service. Washington, D. C., March 3I:- Who wrote the ship subsidy bill? International Labor News Serv- light on this important question. Winthrop L. Marvin, general manager of the American Steam ship Owners Association, was the guiding spirit in preparing that precious document. Marvin had the able assistance of what Is known as the commit tee of experts, composed of ship owners or representatives of ship owners.
 The bill, while in process of con- struction, was passed back and forth between Marvin and his ex- perts and the shipping board and its experts.
 Lasker himself, chairman of the Shipping Board, wrote some of the provisions which now appear in the bill
 It is reported that President Harding wrote into the bill at least
 one of it's provisions. Of course, among those Ship ping Board experts who helped bring into being the amazing bill
 which, in the Senate, bears the name of Senator Jones of Wash ington, were some of the "eighty lawyers" reported on the Senate floor to be employed by the Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corporation at a total of $65o,ooo per year. And that's who wrote the ship subsidy bill!

The Hartford Courant efforts to stir the trolleymen's union up against kinsella on the wage question died aborning. The trolleymen have been bunked too often before to be caught with such poor trick as that.
 One thing the New Haven road stockholders won't hear anything about at their meeting next week will be the wage question. All the stock holders are supposed (by the man agement) to be interested in are divi- dends. Any hint of dividend would so interest them that they wouldn't care what the wage situation is.
