Coal Committee for Fac

SHORTAGE IS SEE

Coal committees in each of the
Wisconsin counties responsible for
porting the fuel needs of their distri
to the state committee, are proposed
report made today by the Visions
fuel committee. With rationing of co
to be necessary during this winter, Il
state is preparing machinery to me
all emergencies.
In letter to be sent to county of
GERS, the state committee expresses II
belief that by the appointment of
county coal organization the questit
of urgent requests for coal and Il
placing of priority requests with ii
state Office can be more expeditions
handled.
Suggestion is made that committt
of three be named, one a coal deale
one a man prominent in industry, ar
the other representative of the pul
lie. These three men would pass upc
all requests for priority coal orders
each county and would forward the r,
quests to the state Office with approva
k Through this arrangement the COZ
distribution machinery for operation

ter would be perfected from a nationi
committee, to county committees, eac

To Expedite Shipments.
Representatives of Wisconsin, Mir
nesota, North and South Dakota are
Washington now working with the il
terstate commerce commission to Sc
that coal shipments are expedited t
the northwest states. Assurance c
100000 tons weekly has been given b
the commission.
A committee made up of represents
tives of the northwest states is to b
stationed at st. Paul to distribute tn
fuel on a priority basis. Wisconsi
will also have a representative at Mi
waukee or Madison who will hav
charge of distribution of Lake Mich
gan dock coal within the state.
C. E. Schneider, statistician for tn
railroad commission, is at st. Paul 70
this state, and Secretary Pressentin o
the state coal committee will tax
charge of distribution of coal with
Wisconsin. Rationing will be neces
sary throughout the winter, Mr.. Pres
sentin believes. By working throug
county committees, he believes that tn
situation can be met without troubl
during the winter months.

FRANK M'HULTY, ELECTRICAL
WORKER, ELECTED TO CONGRESS

Drafted back into service BY the
people. tells the story Of the election
to Congress of Frank J. MeNulty,
former President of the Brotherhood
Of Electrical Workers and at the
present time Chairman Of the EXecu-
tive Council.
There are few men who have as
long and enYiable record of service
in the interest of the people and the
cause of humanity as Congressman
Elect McNulty. Starting by election
to a minor office in the Local Union
he held membership in, he soon
became Business Representative of
the Local Union and rapidly advanced
to the position of International Vice
President of the Brotherhood; was
elected International President at the
Satl Lake City Convention in 1903,
which office he held continuously
until he voluntarily retired at the
New Orleans Convention, 1919. How
ever, the members declined to allow
him full retirement and unanimously
elected him Chairman of the Inter
national Executive Council, which
office he holds at the present time.
Aside from Brother McNulty's
service to the labor movement he has
held numerous positions of public
trust, such as Director of Public
Service of Newark, N. j., a member
of the U. S. Railway Adjustment
Board during the war, which posi-
ton he relinquished to accept an inn
portant commission from President

Wilson at one of the most critical
stages of the war. The duties Of this
commission took him to the Italian
Front where he remained until the
signing Of the Armistice, November
II, 1918.
His election to Congress is a mag
nificent tribute from his constituency,
particularly so when the fact is con-
sidefed that he was unanimously
selected in the primary election and
the district he represents gave the
candidate of the opposite political
party a majority Of over fourteen
thousand two years ago.
With Brother McNulty it has al
ways been the case of the office seek
ing the man rather than the man
seeking the Office, a circumstance
which provides the answer for the
highly efficient and satisfactory man.
ner he has discharged every duty
entrusted to him.
On behalf Of the membership, We
extend the hearty congratulations OF

ferred is one he cannot avoid sharing
with the Brotherhood, as the organ
ization feels deeply the honor of hay-
ing one of its principal officers In our

We know he will ever be in the van

pies interests; and there never was

ON TO WASHINGTON.
Observation-Disclosures

From 1907 to 1920 inclusive, 3D.
704 miners were killed in the coal
mines of this country. Adding to
these the manned and crippled, the
casualty list for the fourteen years
comes close to half a million. Of
course this slaughter is small when
compared to a world war, but if these
10000 0crippled and corpses could be
marched down Pennsylvania Avenue
in Washington, they would make
quite a respectable showing at that.
By the way, wouldn't it be good
idea, now the fact finding agency is
in session in Washington, to send a
mass delegation of coal mine victims
to the capitol? These committees
usually compute the value of mine
labor by the price of pork and beans
and entirely overlook the amount of
blood and gore, broken backs, crushed
chests, weeping widows and starving
orphans that go into the production
of coal.

ADVERTISING PAYS.

Armour & Co. will be permitted to
acquire the physical assets of Morris
T. Co. Thus two Of the worlds
greatest packers will combine, and
the Packing Trust will be enabled to
tighten its grip on the food supply of
the nation.
Attorney General Daugherty and
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace can
see nothing wrong in the proposed
merger. No one expected them TO
take any other position. The Arm
ours knew where Wallace and Daugh-
erty stood before they began nego-
tiating for the Morris holdings.
1t was because the packers knew
they could handle the Secretary Of
Agriculture that they insisted on
amending the packers control bill so
as to give the Secretary INSTEAD of
the Federal Trade Commission
authority to enforce the law.
The packers have had a very dis
agreeable experience with the Fed
eral Trade Commission. They do not
want to be under the jurisdiction of
such men as Victor Murdoch of Kan
sas, but they are quite willing to en-
trust their interests to the present
Secretary of Agriculture.
You see, Secretary Wallace runs a
great agricultural paper, and its
earnings are entirely dependent up
on advertisements received from the
packers and other combines which
exploit the farmers.
A Secretary of Agriculture so stu
ated is not likely to be radical" when
it comes to enforcing antitrust or
packers control laws.

| for their usual requirements for to-
bacco or cigarettes, Mr.. Axton not
only shipped, prepaid, to the various
locals most generous supply of his
Clown Cigarettes, "0d Hill Side"
Smoking, white Mule" and Boost
er Twist" for free distribution among
the strikers, but sent thousands OF
dollars in cash for the relief of the
distressed.
To the striking miners he sent over
$4,000 in tobaccos and cigarettes
and cash, and the X. X. Shop Crafts,
through the System Federation, over
$4,000 in merchandise and $4,000 in
actual cash.
Mr.. Axton is a product of toll. He
came right up from the soil where
long hours and hard work so well
fitted him to sympathize with those
who labor with their hands to be-
come the great believer in, and the
friend of, organized labor that he is
today.
When he began manufacturing
smoking tobacco 90 years ago, Mr..
Axton went to those who were striv-
ing for the betterment of working
conditions for his help and ever since,
in the face of all the taunts and
pleadings of his acquaintance in
bigger business" has stood by, and
employed, Union Labor exclusively.
Mr.. Axton holds that the one who
works, not only is entitled to more
than mere living" wage, but a
Saving" wage and to earn it under
decent working conditions at such
hours as will enable him to have
some time to himself and to his fam
lily or friends.
Every one employed in his plant,
from the porter up, is regarded as a
co-worker and not simply an employee.
Besides, he not only has provided the
most decent working conditions in
his magnificent plant, but every work
er is given a Commute recess at
1000 in the morning and 300 in the
afternoon when they can repair ia
their own recreation rooms, dance
sing, read or otherwise employ the
time as they wish.
At the noon hour every one is given
a free warm lunch of well-cooked
food and ample time for recreation
Shower baths and sanitary steel lock-
ers are also supplied free to every
one. In addition to these features
every employee is given Life Insur.
ance policy, from $500 to $1,000.
According to Mr.. Axton there are
no workers like contented workers
And, to have contented workers, he
maintains, they must be treated like
human beings, paid a decent wage
under decent working hours under de.
cent working conditions.
1t might be added just here that
it was Mr.. Axton who brought the
price of Cigarettes down when he
brought out the CLOWN at 20 fol
l5c while others We're. charging 20c
or more for 10 even in the face of the
fact that they were buying tobacco
at its lowest i'm years.
