GOMPERS TO VISIT AMERICAN LEGION
 AT NEXT MEETING
Convention Instructs A. F. L. Head to Strive for Even More
 Friendly Relations.

Cincinnati, O. June 3o-President Gompers was authorized by the A. F Of l.. convention, voting unanimously to attend the next convention of the American Legion Action came in adopting the report of the committed on education which says:
 Your committee has read with pleasure the report of the Executive Council, pages I2I, I22, concerning the friendly relationship between the American Federation of Labor and the American Legion and noted with qualification the harmonious co-op- cration on such legislative measures as the Coolie Bill and the Sales Tax, and the recognition afforded Presi- dent George Berry by the Legion in his election as ViCe-COmmander
 "Surely' these two great American organizations, having SO large a mem bership i'll common, should be friend ly forces, cooperating for the enrich ment of the common life, and the de- velopment of a high quality of en- frightened citizenship, characterized by breadth of view, public spirit, and tolerance. The committee shares the belief that there should be confer ences from time to time between the organizations of labor and the Amer ican Legion in every city in which there are Legion posts established, for the purpose of removing any misunderstanding that might arise. Where the policies of the two organ izations are at variance, as IS the case in certain important aspects of the educational field, such conferences, To- cal and national, may bring adjust ment through better mutual under standing,
 "The convention has unmistakab1y expressed it's appreciation of the sym pathetic understanding which in spired Commander MacNider's ad- dress to this convention. In the in terest of the further cementing of friendly relationship, the committee recommends that the convention authorize President Gompers to at- tend the next convention of the American Legion in New Orleans next October"

Insurance Companies
 Graft On Employers

Duluth, Minn., June 3o-Minne- sota employers claim that the private insurance companies have gougcd them out of from $500, ,ooo to $7oo, 900 in exorbitant rates for workmen's compensation insurance. It is under stood that the companies are willing to return some of the overcharges.
 The attorney for the Minnesota Employers Association asks the state industrial commissoin to-reduce the rates for liability insurance 12H per cent.
 The Minnesota State Federation of Labor IS committed to the state fund system of industrial insurance in place of the private insurance com panies run for profit.
 State monopoly of workmen's com pensation insurance is~ also the de- mand of the American Federation of Labor as a national policy.

CHURCHES ASK GOVERNMENT TO ACT IN EFFORT TO BRING ABOUT
 SETTLEMENT OF COAL STRIKE

pleading for moderation in prices, which 1t has at present no means to compel, and remembering that the op- orators have secured an in junction re 1training the activities of the Federal i Trade Commission in securing data concerning costs and profits, 1t is natural that the miners and the public should feel that their interests are not being safeguarded and that they arc suffering unfair discrimination.
 In the anthracite fields where con ferences are still in progress the lack of full information regarding the financial facts of the industry may cause the failure of all attempts to negotiate a new agreement. The consumers resent high prices for coal but are unable to form an intelligent
 ent US to the cause on account of the lack of authoritative informa- ton. We urge therefore that if it is not feasible to restore to the Fed era1 Trade Commission the authority which it formerly exercised, the ad ministration recommend Congression- faction creating an authoritative body which shall have power to sc tial facts of the industry. Any settle IIlCHt OI lHC plCSS StllhC IIo illtttCl how it is reached, will have only tenn porary force unless it is accompanied by provision for full knowledge and publicity concerning the facts upon which a satisfactory organization Of the induStry must be based.
 We call upon our Government, out of concern for the well-being of the 1ation as a whole the health and comfort of the miners, and the pre- servaton of the mining industry, to take immediate steps to bring the together in order to secure a just settlement of the present strike and an organization of the coal in dustry on the basis of the maximum service to the nation. You, Mr. President, succeeded in bringing the nations together in conference to re- luce armaments and the indictments 10 war. We respectfully urge that a national coal conference and Feder- 1 Il investigation of the coal industry { would have far-reaching consequences in promoting domestic tranquility l and abridging the causes of industrial 1 strife.

PUBLIC LANDS MENACED.

Washington, June 3o-Organized farmers are lining up against the proposal of Secretary of the Interior the forest service from the depart ment of agriculture to the interior de- partment
 The forest service controls I2o,- ooo ooo acres of forest lands rich in timber and other natural resources and pays $3,ooo,o 900 annually into the public treasury. It is feared that the proposed transfer is backed by inter ests which support the policy of sell in gthe forest lands to private parties instead of preserving them as the peoples property.

OPPOSE JAP FARMERS.

Sacramento, Cal, June 3o-The western states agriculture conference, composed of directors and commits sioners of agriculture of II states has declared against Japanese farmers in this country.
 At it's meeting in this city the con ference states that" Japanese farmers in the west are rapidly gaining a strangle hold on the agricultural in dustry and by reason of a lower standard of living are underselling American farmers" Congress was asked to "alleviate these conditions"

BaerfaCts By J. M. BAER, The Congressman Cartoonist International Labor News Service FIVE SIXTY-THREE

Tn the face of facts that de nand an increase in their wages, the lowest paid workers received a slash in their pay at the hands of the United States Labor Board The award was supported by all the public and railroad members of the board and opposed by the representative of labor.
 The decision is called an award" It should be called a "reward' It has the earnarks of a reward to the campaign con- tributors who own the railroads For every dollar they invest in campaigns they receive a hundred in dividends When their divi- de11ds are not sufficiently guaran- teed by Congress and through in- efficient management some roads lose money, they then use the '1a- bor' board to beat down the in come of the already underpaid employees.
 The wages were below the actual cost of subsistence before they were cut. With the rising

Reduce Dividends;
 Maintain Living Wage

Ottawa, Canada, June 3o.-"I have consistently, and 1 think irreflltably, taken the position that in periods of depression, such as we are unfortun- ately experiencing, dividends should be sacrificed before the worker should be compelled to accept less than a living wage," declared MT McDou- gall, mine workers representative on the government concilaition board considering the demand of the Nova Scotia mine owners for a drastic wage cut.
 The government and employer members of the board, constituting the majority, disagreed with Nc Dougall and approved the wage cut on the ground that the present market price of coal does not give the mine owners profit"

costs 1t is impossible for a family of five to exist on one workers wages. For example, take the minimum pay of the workers on the section. It is only B cents an hour. This amounts to $563 per year. Just try to figure out how five can live on an annual income of fve-sixty- three. If you stick to the facts you can't figure 1t out
 Many women and children of the section hands appeared before the board. Their pitiful pleas for a mere existence were ignored. What are human documents in distress when profits must be made?
 Picture a little girl telling an ''open' shopper that her father can not make enough to support the family. What would be his reply? Something like this, I imagine: Why, MT. Taft, of the Supreme Court, says that the Child Labor Law Is unconstitu- tional and you can go to work in my factory now The shop IS Open!'
