HARBOR ENGINEERS
 CUT $3O A MONTH
Accept New Wage Scale for Tugs and Lighters From Today
 to July I.

New York, Jan. 0.-The Marine representing the engineers employed on the indepndnt tugs and lghtrs in the Harbor of New York, have agreed to accept a cut of $50 a month, effec- tive January I and running to July | when the scale may be reo-pened. A similar cut has been rejected by Capt William A. Maher, representing one of the two unions of licensed deck officers.
 Under the new scale the wages ol engineers are from $I3o a month and board on small one crew boats to $2o5 on the larger double crew boats Deck officers wages range from SAC to $2I5. The previous maximum for engineers was $235 and for deck Of hcefs $245 Proportionate cuts have been made in the rates for deck hands, fremen and cooks.
 By the terms of the old wage scale, wages were to be fixed Jan. I by the New York Harbor Arbitration Board made up of representative of the several unions and the owners as sociation. On Friday last the repre- sentatives of the engineers and the owners reached an agreement, but Captain Maher withdrew He de clared that 200 officers employed on 400 boats would quit work. No strike order, however, has been issued.
 Representative of the engineers said that irrespective of what the deck officers do, their men would re- main at work. They held that in the present state of employment in the marine trades the new scale was the best that could be expected
 With the engineers remaining at work, shipping men said no strike would seriously interfere with the business of the port In no event will railroad or municipal ferries be affected.

UNDISCOVERED WAGE
 TRICK IS EMPLOYED BY COAL OPERATORS
West Virginia Barons Use Trick Pay to Fool Public on Earnings of
 Mine Workers.

Logan county, w. Va, coal opera tors, in propaganda defending their gun man rule of that district, are resorting to an old trick to fool the public, declares James Lord, president of the mining de- partment of the American Federation of Labor
 w. R. Thurmond, president of the Lo- gan Coal Operators Association, as sumes responsibility for printed state ments that are being sent broadcast, at great expense, attempting to explain away the bad impression created by events in West Virginia during the last year and half. In recent bulletin it was stated that 'the earnings of five men at different operations have been computed, showing that the average gross earnings af the mine workers was $333.97 per month per man."
 "This trick of computing miners wages is moss covered" said President Lord. "In selecting his five men from 1 mines, MT. Thurmond has taken the contract miner who employs three, four or more men who are paid by him out of the lump sum he receives from the com pany. During the recent Senate inves- tigation West Virginia owners stressed high wages paid by them and they at tempted to conceal the contract system, but were forced to acknowledge that contract mining does exist in their prop critics
 Another common system Is for the father and sons to work together, the father receiving the pay envelope. On the books of the company the father is credited with large earnings, although no mention is made of the money he pays his sons, who often do a mans work.
 "It will be noticed that Thurnond does not take the total pay of IS oper- ations and divide it by the number of miners employed. That would give the approximate average earnings for the workers and would show result vastly different from that which Is sought to be established through the misleading propaganda of the operators"

HOOVER AND WEEKS YET FIGTING WAR
 BUT HAVE HOPES
One Says Prices Have Dropped Too Much and Wages Not
 Enough.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Much of promise in the new year is seen by Secretaries Hoover and Weeks, who in statements issued here declared that the American people could look forward to 1922 as year of recuper- ation.
 "Considering that we have gone through the greatest war in history and considering the dangers that we have passed through in the great re- adjustment of 1o21," said Secretary Hoover, i've have lot to be cheer ful over and we have ahead of us very substantial hopes of steady i'm provement both at home and abroad" "
 "The industrial and social upheaval resulting from the war reached its crisis during the old year," said Sec retary Weeks. "The period of adjust ment has been trying for the people

creation. One of the gentlemen said that the only objection he had to Woodrow Wilson was that Wilson yielded to labor in passing the eight hour labor bilf
 Wilson, nor any other man, never did a more sensible, economically sound thing in his life than his ad- vocacy of the eight-hour law. If a man works eight hours diligently he will accomplish more in year than if he worked I6 hours day and spent the other eight hours sleeping and resting.
 The experience of mankind has demonstrated that a man can accom- plish more by working eight hours, sleeping eight hours and recreating eight hours than he can by persist ently toiling from 10 to 16 hours a day.
 But that is aside the question we are now discussing. The unions are designed to protect labor in its just demands, and protect it against the wrongs and injustices of the money power.
 1 think that unionism is the only breastwork behind which a man can fight the wealth of the country and demand justice for his wife and chil- dren
 1 do not wish to be understood as saying that union labor is always just in its demands. 1 do not mean to say that labor unions never make mis- takes. The labor unions are human just as the associations of capital are human. They are fighting for the op- portunity to take care of their famil- ies and for self-preservation
 But for labor unions the laborers of American would be peons-mere in dustrial slaves to do the bidding of conscienceless wealth. There is noth- ing so conscienceless in its demands for multiplication as a gold dollar.

UNIONISM BULWARK
 AGAINST PEONACE
 IS VARDAMAN VIEW
Former Mississippi Senator Says Organization Saves Workers
 from Abject Conditions.
By JAMES K. VARDAMAN Former United States Senator from
 Mississippi.

The consideration of every econ omic question calls for patriotic understanding of it's effect upon the man.
 Governments are created for man institutions, generally, are provided for the welfare of the human race. Labor unions aer intended to improve the conditions and manner of living of the men and women who toll.
 There is no progress in the world that does not take into account the welfare of the race.
 I heard a couple of gentlemen talk ing the other day, and they were de precating congressional action which recognized the principle that eight hours should be devoted to toll, eight hours to sleep and eight hours to re-

and the Government alike, but the rapidity with which the American people have been putting their affairs in order during the past few months makes the outlook for complete in dustrial adjustment and resulting prosperity during the coming year bright"
 MT. Hoover in his statement said:
 "The economic situation for the New Year holds much good promise Our year of liquidation is over and we can look forward to year of re- cuperation. Except for the seasonal dip of the winter we should have a continuous lessening of unemp1oy- ment and an increasing betterment in the agricultural situation. We have passed through the most pre- cipitous price drop in our history-a dro paveraging nearly so per cent. and necessitating the writing of something more than $2oooo, ,ooo, ,ooo off our books as Nation during 1921.
 'We have still good many read justments to be made, due to the inequality in the fall of prices and wages. The former has fallen too much.
