CREPE TELLS MOURNING
FOR LOSS OF BUS LINE
Astoria Organizations Discuss
Court Decision.

Astoria residents are taking seriously
the action of the Appellate Division of
the Supreme Court in stopping the mu-
nicipal bus line that formerly operated
in Grand avenue. Several organizations
in that district have held meetings and
discussed the situation and yesterday
2 sign appeared on a post at Grand and
Second avenues, where the buses for
merly started. This sign read:
Buses stopped by the courts. We
mourn our loss"
Above the sign was a large bow of
funeral crepe.
The operation of the bus line in this
avenue was opposed by the receivers
of the Steinway trolley lines. who said
the buses interfered with the revenue
of the trolley lines. Justice Fawcett
in Supreme Court refused to grant an
injunction but was overruled by the
Appellate Division.

Who Gets The MOney?

Normally, there mined from the union
mines Of this country abut three hundred million
tons of coal every year. The check-off which the
employer is compelled to collect from the miners
for the Union amounts to from three to cents
per ton the average being about five cents per ton.
This gives the United Mine Workers from the United
States alone an assured income Of 500000000
annually. 1t would be interesting to know just
what becomes Of this money, by whom it is spent
and for what purposes. AS rule, the working
miner believes large part Of the check-off is insur
ance against loss Of wages in time Of strike; that it
will be returned to him by the Union in weekly
strike benefits. In this strike his belief has been
wholly shattered, for there have been no payments
of strike benefits. Our miners, to whom we have
been paying good wages, have fed on nothing more
substantial than speeches from the Union officials
and organizers. So far as food and clothing is
concerned the Union has left them to shift for them
selves AS matter Of fact, the only assistance the
miners have had is rent credit from the operators.

From the lower East Side the wabbly
truck wound its way up Second and
Third avenues TO The Bronx and finally
to City Island, where the climax was
staged amid a rain of knives and
empties. Thirty-seven persons who had
served the agents liquor or admitted
owning stores in which it was served
received subpnnas and five others were
locked up.
Among the latter was Charles Cusa-
mano, proprietor of a candy store at 33l
East Twenty-third street. He is a
brother of Santo Cusamano. recently
convicted of first degree murder In con-
nection with the Varotta kidnapping and
murder and now is In the death house
at Sing Sing. Cusamano objected to
being summoned, so the agents obliged
by taking him to the East Twenty
second street station. Peter O'Malley.

inspectors. who happened to be in his
place, throw John. Peter and William

scene OF the grand finale. The agents
say liquor was served them and then
they began to distribute summonses
William Quittner. the waiter, is charged
with dashing into the kitchen, where
were Mrs. Lena Nagle. the manager.
and Mrs. John Tauer. the proprietress
From this kitchen a moment later came
a veritable hail OF knives, large and
small, and bottles OF every variety.
John, Peter and William arrested Quit
ner and retreated with several minor
cuts and booZes.
The agents estimated they confscated
and destroyed more than hundred gall
Ions OF liquor on the trip. At nearly
every place visited they found from two
to seven quarts and in some a lot more.
The New York herald., 1922-08-02
The Operators Position:

President Wilson's Coal Commission made
award effective April 1st 1920. The Mine Workers
Union broke that award the following August. This
terminated the so-caed Four-State Agreement and
is matter of record. The Pittsburgh Coal Pro-
ducers' Association made new agreement for its
own District which allowed the day men $3.50 per
day of eight hours as against the Presidents Com
missions award of Sc. 90 per day Of eight hours.
Therefore, the operators of this District have
taken the position that since the miners of this
District are employed by the operators OF this Dis
trict, and the questions to be settled are wholly
of District nature, the settlement should be
District settlement. They object to having their
economic advantages destroyed in so-caled -Four
State settlement. They have also refused to con-
tnue the check-of practice
The New York herald., 1922-08-02
The Unions Position:

In every instance the Union has refused to
treat with us in this District on the ground that
they would not 60 into District conference. They
announced that they would only confer in so-caed
-four state conference" composed of miners and
operators from the so-called "four competitive
states Of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois.
The New York herald., 1922-08-02
The Check-Off:

The check-off practice is the system under
which the operator is compelled to collect for the
Union initiation fees, dues and special assessments
from the members. 1t works like this-Every man
who goes to work in Union mine must under the
system, become member Of the Union whether
he desires to do so or not. He has voice in the
matter The operator is compelled to take his initia
ton fee of 500 out of his earnings and the Union
dues and any special assessments levied are also
deducted from his pay envelope and turned over
to the officers Of the Union. This practice is as
unfair to the miner of independent thought it is
un-American. 1t forces membership in the Union
if he would work, and compels him to become Union
in order to earn his daily bread He has no option.
He is not free agent. He must accept the cond-
tons and obey the rules of the Union and, in add-
tion pay the Union for the privilege 1t forces the
closed shop and deprives the miner Of his indus
trial liberty The employer also has no option. He
must unonize his employees and collect the check
off. or the Union officers will take from him the
right to operate his mines.
The old Four-State Agreement fixed basic
wage scale for the four States. This scale was

The NeW Scale

The 1917 wage under which we now open
our mines, is nothing new to our miners They
worked under it for two years. during the high
price period of the war; and they were prosper
ous They can be prosperous under it now, for
living costs are far below what they were from 1917
to 1919.
Under this wage, representative leaders made
$6.71 day of eight hours, and in the first nine
months it was in effect they earned an average of
S1136.89 Cutters made $8.43, with 81 ,491 .16 for
the nine-month period, and pick miners made $3.50,
with total Of S12S974. These figures do not
include the possible income Of mine workers under
the scale, for the more efficient working regu-
larly in this District made the following
1922; Cutters, $10.62 and Pick Miners, 1926, for
eight hours.
This scale is 68 per cent. higher than the scale
of 1914, and Is per cent above the actual increase
in the cost Of living for that same year.

then forced by the Union on the outlying Union
territory. The local conditions, of which the
check-off was one, were settled in Districts Any
district, however, refusing to adopt this unAmerican
practice subjected itself to strike that question.
1t is plain to be seen that FourState settlement
would leave this District on strike the "check-off'
question. A Four-State conference is, therefore,

of.
Legion posts are established In

carried their flag into 20 foreign coun-

II 900 posts there are one or more
men who know Lemuel Bolles. Mr..
Bolles, then, knows them. Ever since
the Legion was organized in France
Mr.. Bolles has been identified with 1t.
Since it's first convention in Ninneapo-
lis in 1919 he has been national ad-
jutant, and as such he has met per-
sonally or corresponded with thou
sands Of Legion men and women. His
duties have taken him into almost all
the 4S states during these three years,
and he receives a thousand or so let
ters each week. He has, without doubt,
the largest personal acquaintance with
men of arms ever enjoyed by any in
dividual since armies were invented.
Mr.. Boles was born in Minneapolis,
grew up on the ranges of the Dako-
tas and was established in Seattle,
Wash, when he entered active service
for the World war. He began his
military career as a private in a Ma
tional Guard company. Overseas he

was decorated with the Legion Of Hon
