he said, "have remained at work since
July under the expectation and actual
assurance of the original trainers of

would be able to secure living wage
under provisions of existing law. The
proceedings tomorrow will determine
this point.
What makes this tho most impor-

"There has been some discussion as
to the actual number of men affected
by the minimum hourly rate of 23
cents an hour, established by the board
IN Decssion NO. l,02S. An attempt has
been made to belittle this by the state
ment that only small portion of our
members receive this rate. AS a mat
ter of fact, due to the efforts to GER

people, this rate on. some roads has

Real Estate OaUners See
Inevitable Coal Famine
Use Of Coke, Gas and ~ God and
Suspension Of Heat Laps for
Landlords 4re Adyocnsed


Replies received by the United Real
Estate ownera' Association from IL 900
members furnish conclusive evidence,
1T was announced last night, that the
coal supply on hand, generally speak
ing, will last less than thirty days.
In statement issued yesterday the
association points out that no matter
how soon the coal strike may be set
tiled it will remain impossible to sup
ply New York City's needs for coal dur
ing the coming winter. The following
recommendation to Federal and state
governments are offered:
That the Federal government at once
place on the free list all coal imports
and combine with several state govern
:nents in bringing about legislation to
stimulate such imports and, if neces-
sary. to finance them.
That the Federal and state goverf-
ments seize all coal screenings now at
the mines and have them converted
into coke OF sizes required for public
use by causing utilization of ali coke
furnaces throughout the country.
That any ordinances against the USE
of by-product gas from coke furnaces
should be at once repealed. Coke, in
stead of coal, should now and in the
future be used for all heating plants,
large and small. The big power and
heating plants in office, store and
apartment houses should be equipped
as oil burners. Small furnaces should
be run with gas. The smaller apart
ment houses supplying heat and hot
water should immediately procure a
supply Of wood.
1t is finally recommended that the
penal code as to supplying heat and hot
water in houses be amended by issuing
certificates of necessity.

WASHINGTON aug, 27.-0rganized
sabor groups have every reason to
congratulate their membership with
the coming of Labor Day in 1922, be-
cause OF the industrial and political
solidarity of the working people, be-
cause of the failure of employers
ito bring about wage reductions" and
because OF determination within them
selves to pash forward, Samuel
Gompers. president OF the American
Federation OF Labor, declared in an
address published in the Forthcoming
issue of "The American Federationist.'
There has been a general resistance OF
American labor to the program of wage
reduction and union smashing and it
has been successful. she asserted.
1T is safe to say that the full
volume Of wage reductions since the
armistiee, if averaged up and spread
ever the working population, would
amount TO less than per cent" Mr.
Compers said, adding, "this is a stark
defeat for employers. it Is magnlfl-
cent victory Tor the workers"
Benefit To all Claimed
..Therc are no terms too strong to
describe the Importance of this great
victory for labor. 1t is a victory in the
celebration of which every useful
citizen can join, because the purpose
of those employers who sought to re-
duce wages was not to reduce the final
cost of commodities, not so that there
might be a larger volume of COM
medities produced: but it was so that
there might be a larger profit in the
production of commodities, "a lower
wage for the worker and a relatively
higher cost to the consumer"
In regard to the future, Mr.. Com
psrs said:
Labor Day, 1922, finds the workers
confronting the same elemensal issues
with which they have been forced to
contend since the armistice, and with
tend in a general way over still
longer period of years.
Crucial Period Passed
"But Labor Day, 1922, finds the
workers ia position of greater ad-
vantage than before. The crucial
period of unemployment has been
passed. The wage reduction move
ment long since lost its principal mo-
mentum, and the movement to estab-
ish the so-called open shop which
is in reality the non-union shop, has
proved without effect.
Labor has every reason to congrat-
ulate itself on the occasion of it's
Labor Day celebrations this year.
These congratulations, however, must
be accompanied by determination to
continue the struggle.
There can be no relinquishing Of
vigilance at any point. We have held
our ground because of our understand
ing and our solidarity If these are
relinquished at any moment we shall
lose that which we have thus far held,
lose it to the detriment not only
OF the workers but of our entire in
dustrial life.,s

ever, it was understood that the cues

Senator Pepper has been described as
opposed to any such action.

Warmer and Senator Pepper was said
to be scheduled for to-rnorrow.

through tomorrow, according to the
latter. Why they continued to iinger

to say. In some quarters the opti-
mistic view was taken thai they had
tarried because there was chance of

between operators and miners, broken
