SHOP HARMONY
Furthered Where There Is
Frank Discussion

Newark, N. Prank discussion
and the right of workers to select
their own representatives was urged
by Major Frank j. Miller, speaking
to the industrial group Of the New
Jersey state Chamber of Commerce,
at its meeting in this city.
Major Miller was formerly presi-
dent of the American society of me-
chanical engineers. In his talk to New
Jersey business men he said these
principles were essential to success
full industrial relations:
Gree discussion of terms, such as
obtain between buyer and purchaser
Business men would not think of for
bidding another business man to dis
cuss terms with him, and there IS no
reason why the same should not OBJ
tain in his relation toward the work
ers.
"The right of each side to select
their own representative, just as is
done in the business world 1t would
be absurd for one business man to say
who should represent the other. Why
then, should it be otherwise between
employers and workmen?"

COAL OWNERS
Pay For State Witnesses In
Treason Trial

Charles Town, w. Witnesses
for the state in the alleged treason
trial of miners have their witness
vouchers, issued by the clerk of the
court, cashed by coal owners.
The miners attorneys forced this
admission from Walter Thurmond
president of the Logan coal operators
association, after the coal owners
attorneys made a hard fight to have
Judge Woods rule against admitting
this evidence.
Thurmond acknowledged that his
association has already spent $14,
600 for witnesses and $1,000 for at
torneys' fees. The reason for the lat
ter low cost is that the attorney:
have an annual retainer and are con
tinually engaged in fighting organic
ed labor.
Thurmond's testimony shows tha
the coal owners attorneys are no
only directing the court fight, bu
they are paying witnesses fees.

RAIL MERGER
ILLEGAL

Washington.-Th United States
supreme court has ordered the South
ern Pacific railroad to separate itself
from ownership and control of the
Central Pacific railway. In urging
this dissolution the governments at
torney, Solicitor General Beck, de-
clared that the transaction by which
the late C. P. Huntington and three
associates leased the Central Pacific
to the Southern Pacific Constituted
one of the darkest pages in American
railroad history"
1t was shown that these men built
the Central Pacific with government
aid and without any financial outlay
on their part. After the road was
built, they declared liberal dividends
and unloaded large part of the stock
to foreign investors. Then they leas-
ed the Central Pacific to the Southern
Pacific, which they controlled.
After they disposed of their Central
Pacific holdings and tied that road
up to the Southern Pacific, they pro-
ceeded to wreck the Central Pacific
by diverting its traffic to the other
road.
The governments attorneys said
these transactions were a blot upon
the history of trans continental rail
road construction and development.

the people and for the people cannot
be made a government of kept Off
cials, by hired thugs and gunner for
a handful of tyrannical coal barons.
That kind of American citizen hap
pened to sit on the jury that acquit-
ted William Blizzard of the charge
of treason. And in a court presided
over by a Judge who loved justice and
didn't fear the government of
coal operators.
Self defense against murderous at
tacks by private armies hired by the
coal operators isn't treason against
the government.
That's the verdict of the jury in
the Blizzard case at Charles Town
The people in every other state in the
union know what the verdict means
One county now has pointed the way
Let all of West Virginia free itself
from this coal tyranny and come back
under the declaration of independence
and the American constitution-yes
and the constitution of West Virgins
as Well-Cincinnati Post

SALES TAX DEFINED

Chicago Editor Perkins, of the
Cigar Makers Official Journal, gives
this definition of the sales tax:
THE rich will be taxed only on
what they spend and nothing on what
they save. The poor win be taxed on
what they spend, which means they
will be taxed on all, for they must
spend all to exist
millions of dollars are spent by
proponents of the sales tax scheme,
millions that can well be afforded by
the rich as a matter of business, for
if the sales tax is substituted for the
excess profits tax or any increase in
the income tax, it will mean more to
them than any legislation so far
passed by congress that is seemingly
very partial to the desires of the So
called business interests

have to work in the future for a wage
of $3.50 month, that is if he loses
no time through inclement weather.
The latter figure is based on 10-hour
day and a 26-day month.
No wonder the minority decision of
the board declares that such a wage
is less than the allowance to Cook
county Jail inmates for food. A sec
tion man must support his wife and
children on an income of less than two
dollars day. 1t can't be done. The
maintenance of-way employees are
talking about strike. If they do
it will be justifable strike, for there
is nothing to justify such wage cut
as the labor board has imposed upon
them.
Railroad labor must accept the rul-
ing of the labor board or strike. There
is no other alternative. On the other
hand the railroads have thus far failed
to obey rulings affecting them handed
down by the labor board The repre-
sentatives of the employees are now
appealing to the board, urging it tc
take steps to compel the roads tC
comply with its decisions.
In the ruling in this case the major
ity board members declare that ever
with the present cut common labor
ers on railroads will be paid more
than is paid like employees in similar
occupations. If there are any com
mon laborers on public or private
work in this section of the countr!
receiving less than % cents an houl
for their services it is not being ad
vertised. No man with family cai
live on such wage.
The decision of the railroad labo,
board in this case is a crime agains
humanity 1t is a blow at American
civilization

MINIMUM WAGE
LAWS FAIL
TO FUNCTION

Harrisburg, Minimum wage
legislation in this country has failed
to adjust rates to the changing cost
of living. Rev Dr. Ryan, of Cath
Ollie University, Washington, told the
convention of labor commissioners of
the United States and Canada
During the war" he said, most of
the wage rates became too low long
before they were raised by the com
mission"
Miss Mary Anderson, director of
the women's bureau, United States
department of labor, told the conven-
tion that Investigations in five states
have disclosed large portion of wo-
men employees are paid less than the
minimum standards set by wage COM
missions in these states.

THE TRADE UNIONS

No one claims that all trade unions
are wise, or even honest, much less
that they have not made endless mis-
takes in the past and will not continue
to err while time shall last. Neither
is trade unionism an ideal institution
1t was evolved to serve a purpose and
to perform a duty in the upward
march of the human race. 1t was
made to fit a condition of society di-
vided into the employing class and
the serving class. It's mission is to
protect the weak against the strong.
In the great industrial strife that has
come down though the ages, trade
unionism has fought the battles of the
workman. And in fighting for the
wage-earner it has fought for great
er liberty to man. War and strife
are not ideal states, but they have
been ever present with the human
race, and so long as the war of classes
shall continue, the weak and the help
less must ever look to trade union
ism as its chief champion and its most
powerful Clarence S. Oar

not been called to any provision in
