SUGGESTION
Made by Hutchinson to Improve Coal
Supply Predicament.

MADE Dy hutcnISon 10 improve COAL
Supply Predicament.
To the Editor Of The Times
There seems to be a determined
effort on the part of some interests
to convince the public that too many
men are employed in the coal mining
industry and that a reduction to
about so per cent OF the present force
would effect a cure Of all the ills that
the industry is heir to; that by re-
ducing the number OF miners employed
and furnishing them with steady en-
ployment the year through wages
could be reduced and coal furnished
the public at d much lower rate.
One suggestion that seems to meet
with the approval of politicians. and
newspapers. is that there are too
many men employed in mining coal
and that about so per cent Of them
should be diverted to other trades
and that the other so per cent could
find steady employment and provide
all the fuel that the country needs.
Let us analyze the preparation and
see why. If only enough miners are
employed working full time to supply
the needed amount of coal il s. ordt
10 reason that the product will have
to be regularly shipped and cared for,
az it is impossible to store it at the
mines. Coal stored through the hot
summer months will go to slack,
and at the same time there IS danger
Of an entire loss from spontaneous
combustion Now suppose wa have
Just enough miners working to sup
ply the market and the market re-
fuses TO be supplied till the winter
months come. The limited number
Of miners could only produce half
the amount needed 10 turn the wheels
of industry and supply heat to the
general public. and as industry, under
its yearly contracts. would be supplied
first. the public would be ID. but
not roasted by any means.
Coal mining is a seasonal occupa-
ton and a sufficient number of
skilled miners must be kept employed
to meet any emergency and they must
be paid a wage sufficient to the needs
OF their families the year through.
| However. the suggestion. like many
other false theories. has n grain of
truth I'm It and much good rnight be
accomplished If the Government and
the various States would prepare
proper storage rooms at all the pub
lie institutions and buy their coal
during the summer months instead
of buying just as they need it. and
they might do this as a saving, as
no doubt arrangements might be made
for a reasonable reduction in price
Of coal bought and stored in this
way.
If the proposed plan would be put
in operation I would like to know II
the interests behind the movement
are prepared to furnish employment
TO the several hundred dhousand
miners that would leave the mines
in view of the fact that we already
have so many idle men.

BY SAMUEL GOMPERS,
President of the American Federation
of Labor.
Copyright, 1922, by United News)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-There Is
no question OF the fact that increases
in wages have been ordered by sew
eral large non-union concerns, but
most of them, including the increases,
have not come up to the standard of
the rates of wages paid to union
workers engaged in like character Of
work.
Due to Drives
There is only one factor to which
these proposed increases are due. For
three years there has been a drive of
q large number of employers TO de-
stroy unionism with the object OF re-
ducing wages. In some industries the
employers have found no antagonistic
resistance, until the strike Of the tex
tile workers. The workers in the
needle trades, followed by the strike
Of the granite cutters and quarrymen
followed again by the miners and the
railway shopmen.
These strikes, resisting reductions
in wages, carried on so vigorously
have without doubt checked not only
The reductions in wages which would
have come otherwise, but have turned
the tide toward increases and improve
ments in conditions OF the working
people OF the country.
Drive Is Spent
The drive to destroy the unions has
spent its force. The spirit Of the men
of labor of America was never so
keen to the recognition Of the fact
that their organizations are their
only protection against tyranny and
injustice, and now we find published
increases Of wages offered by num-
bers Of employers. where, in nearly
every issue of the press, there have
been previously recorded wage re-
auctions.
The tide has turned and the whole
country will profit by the change.
Non-union employers cannot make
the men Of organized labor angry by
increasing wages.

a stuffy. unventilated room before or
after exposure to it.
Air is the first necessity OF life. yet
many people worry about every little
draught and extra current OF air.
Instead of worrying, the right thing
IS to take advantage of the draught,
breathe deeply several times and OBJ
serve how better you feel
There is a blanket Of hot air around
the human body at all times. It re-
quires a strong current Of cir CT n
breeze to life this blanket and make
the body cool and comfortable. The
current may be provided by an electric
fan, or It may come from ven
tilation shaft. or, better yet. from a
window, open top and bottom. Just
so long as the air is fresh and kept
in motion, the result will be the same.
Every one should get accustomed to
fresh air, breathe all of il that is pos
sible, and then he won't mini cold,
wintry air. Those who are hardened
to cold air are less subject than others
to colds, bronchitis and pneumonia.
No condition tends more surely to
colds, grip and lowered vitality than
a crowded room with no air circula-
ton. Excessive dryness, com blned
with insufficient air. affects the mu-
cous membranes Of the nose and
throat.
Be sure to open your windows wide
at night and obey these general SIR
hygiene rules If you would enjoy per-
feet health:
Let the fresh air In.
Go out after it.
Sleep out if you can.
Breathe deeply.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2.-The assertion
that the average American family
needs a definite minimum wage was
attacked before the United States Ia
Dor board by Jacob Aaronson. repre-
enting the eastern railroads.
Aaronson based his denial on the
grounds that the average family does
not consist of five people as argu-
ments presented by labor witnesses
declared; that the average workman
does not support a family Of five;
that the grounds upon such an as
sumption are based are wholly mac
curate and that there is no such
thing as a standardized cost Of living.
Aaronson was replying to the con-
tention Of witnesses for the mainte-
nance Of way men in their applica-
ton for an increase in wages.
Aaronson quoted figures from the
United States census Of 1920 to show
that the average family consists of
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1922-09-02

"A persons regardless of age.
He declared that there was an av-
erage Of only IA dependent children
for each Of the 24.351, 756 families in
the country and that instead of one
wage Garner there are 1856 male
" orkers to each family.
Aaronson asserted that the main1en,
ance figures did not take into consid-
Grafton the large number Of single
men who supported only themselves.
IF there is a principle involved"
he said. 1T must be applied accord
ing to different minimum wage re-
quirements in localities. This re-
quIrement differs greatly. We cannot
admit that these budgets should be
averaged and made uniform in all
localities"
Aaronson also stated that in the
latter part OF 1921 the railroads EN-
ployed approximately 1.65S,000 en-
ployes Upon the theoretical basis Of
1856 male workers to the family there
would be 1,213,235 families. Counting

CHANGE
Prohibition is making great changes
in the eating habits of hotel guests.
This is forcing hotels to go back to the
old-time American plan"--a rate for
room and meals. So says G. H. Har-
rington, New York caterer. Other hotel
men at the convention agree with him.
With the passing of the rumhound
and his midnight suppers of lobster
and other delicacies, the chef in the
hotel kitchen finds the general cry
is for substantial meal. Watch this
tendency. A change Of diet changes
the whole being-emotions and brain.
