TRANSFORMATION SHORTAGE DEPRIVES PEOPLE OF COAL WHILE RAILROADS
 VIOLATE FRANCHISE PROVISIONS

called upon to recede from most of
 their protests against reduction of
 wages and changes of working con
 ditions which precipitated the strike,
 but they were assured by agents of
 the President, if not by the Presi-
 dent himself, that if they would so recede pressure would be brought to | bear upon the railroad arrangements that these latter would be forced to accept and compromise; and on that
 understanding the representatives of the railroad workers accepted the
 Presidents proposition.
 Now the government professes to be absolutely unable to restore ade
 quate transportation facilities broken down because of the fact that the
 railroad arrangements are not able to secure competent men to keep their railroad machinery in repair and in condition that will secure sufficient and efficient service Because of the fact that these men representing a comparative few of the citizenry of the country are determined to have their own will without considering the needs of the country or their con- tract with the citizens of the country, people are suffering for the want of coal In some of our cities men and women are actually dying from dis
 eases brought about by insufficient fuel to keep their places of abode warm All over the country the price of fuel Is so high as to be almost prohibitive.
 The government has continued it's pressure, not against the managers who refuse to accept the solution offered by the President of the
 United States and his advisors, but against the men who at a sacrifice accepted the Presidents proposition. The Constitution of the country has been abrogated in order to bring pres
 sure against and to defeat the pur- pose of the men, the purpose being to enforce the condition laid down by the executive. But the government refuses to take any action to force the management of the railroads to furnish adequate transportation in spite of the fact that these are under contract with the government and under obligations to thf people to furnish such adequate facilities.
 To supply the necessities of the people is the supreme duty of gov ernment except when to do so would interfere with some of the esteemed privileges of a class that holds itself above government, above it's own ob- legations and above honor itself, for honor is involved in accepting valu- able gifts on promises: to furnish in return necessary service and then re- fusing to be held by the same.
 *Many of the railroad managers ac- cepted the Presidents plan of settle ment.

F. of L. Legislative Committee.

A. F. of L. Legislative Committee. | The railroads of the country se-
 cured valuable franchises from the l federal government, state govern
 ments and local governments Tn ad-
 dition most of the roads received valuable subsidies, gifts of right of way, gifts of vast acreages of land on each side of the railroad and extend l ing miles back.
 The condition under which they re- ceived franchises is that they furnish adequate transportation facilities to develop and to supply the country
 through which they operate.
 There are no conditions in the franchises as to what circumstances shall obtain in order that they may furnish adequate transportation facil- tiles The country, the cities, the towns, depend for their daily supply of necessities upon the full rendition of the services the railroads have contracted to render in return for
 the franchises and the subsidies that went with the franchises.
 The cities of the east and of the north are suffering because of an in
 adequate coal supply. The mines of the country are competent and will 1 ing to furnish sufficient supply Transportation has broken down. The reason for the breakdown of l transportation is the fact that a dis agreement as to the terms of wages
 and conditions of employment arose between the managers of the rail- roads and the men competent to keep the railroads in efficient condition. Without entering into the merits of the dispute between the employers and employees we can make one asser- ton that we consider indisputable; l. e., that the railroads are bound by their franchises and by their accept
 ance of subsidies and other emolu-
 ments and privileges to furnish ade-
 quate service to the people of the sections they are supposed to supply
 and serve.
 The public or the government can
 not and should not seek to deter
 mine what is fair wage or what should be considered acceptable con- ditions of employment or what the railroads might consider as the maxi mum wage or conditions they are wiling 10 agree to.
 The public has a right to demand and insist upon an adequate trans pcrta-;on service. This, it is evident, the railroads are not Tn position to give.
 During the dnspute between the railroad management and their em- ployes the government did see fit to intervene The President of the United States offered what he con sidered a fair solution of the differ ences. The railroad workers accept ed the Presidents plan of settlements Others, and among those some of the principal roads supplying the most -popu1ous sections of our country, re- fused. Then the President of the United States made the assertion that his proposed settlement was only 'feeler" to see if it could bring about resumption of adequate railroad transportation.
 As matter of fact, the represen- tatives of the railroad workers were

PRESIDENT HARDING
 BLAMES RAILROADS FOR COAL SHORTAGE
Says Failure to Settle Strike of Shop crafts Has Caused Distress
 ing Situation.

In letter made public just before he left Washington for Florida, Presi- dent Harding has informed officials of the railway shop crafts that he can see no adequate question of princi- paI' which warrants a further delay in settlement of the strike of the
 shopmen in all districts which has
 been in effect since last summer.
 He declared that minority of the
 interests involved" by their failure to
 settle the strike were largely respon- sible" for the interrupted coal deliv- cries which has caused so much suf- ferlng during the past winter months as we'll as other unsatisfactory rail way conditions in certain parts of the country.
 The letter of the President was sent in reply to one from Stephen E. Connor, secretary of the Shop Crafts ot the Central Railroad of New Jer- sey, and was as follows:
 "4o our letter of March 3 comes to hand just as 1 am about leaving for
 the south, but 1 am glad of the op- portunity 1t affords me to express my
 sentiment on this subject You tell
 me that the shopcrafts of the New Jersey Central railroad are staging a iN1iN1 1uIId dIlQ dSk 10

 am gladly complying.
 Tt IS occasion of intense regret that the settlement of the shopcrafts
 strike, which has been effected on the larger part of the railroad systems
 and the mileage of the country, has
 not been found possible on ali the
 rest. l do not find myself able to discern any adequate question of principle which could justify a minor ity of the interests involved in this distressing situation in refusing to make settlements similar to those which have been made by the major ity. The information which reaches me brings the conviction that contin- ued failure to make settlement IS largely responsible for unfortunate conditions as to railroad movements in some areas, and for interrupted de- liveries of coal during the winter with resultant suffering to many communities and much demoraliza- Ation to industry. It is a situation which seems certain to become more serious unless effective measures are found for the early amelioration."

MORE RENTED HOMES: FARM TENANTCY GAIN

Washington, March o.-Mortgaged homes and increased tenantcy among farmers is a characteristic of this country, according to Senator Ladd of North Dakota, who declared that "the most ominous fact in our agri- cultural conditions is the rapid growth of farm tenantcy."
 "In Io2o," he said, 1887 tenants op- erated farms in every 100, as com pared with 28 in 1910, an increase of B per cent ih 10 years. Wherever this notoriously inefficient and out rageously unjust system Is estab- lished, human slavery in it's worst and most degrading form follows as nat ural and necessary result,
 But this distressing condition is not confined to the farm industry. Over Go pc rcent of those who work in the manufacturing and mining in dustries and auxiliary business activ- ities are living in rented houses. Sev- enty-fve per cent of the homes of America are mortgaged. Out of a population approximately IIo,ooo,ooo only 4,I3I,878 own homes free from encumbrance.
 That there is a combination of causes no one who has given careful consideration to existing conditions can doubt And yet when we consider the course of legislation in this coun- try for the past Go years, there IS nothing unnatural in the abnormal situation that confronts us.
 "He who in the midst of abundance suffers the bangs of hunger; who in the presence of inexhaustible natural resources stands in enforced idleness /; who, clothed with politica lpower, is a political nonenity; to whose unremit- ting drudgery labor saving inventions have brought no relief but rather seem to make this condition worse, instinctively realizes that there is something wrong with our system of distributing the wealth which his la bor produces.
 Ut, is the direct and necessary re- suit of granting to corrupt and ia vored few predatory privileges which involve supreme functions of govern ment

In pursuance of the movement which has for it's purpose the urging of all working people to give their combined support to reputable con- cerns that have uniformly shown a friendly attitude toward the cause of Labor, there will here be found a directory of enterprises which we feel can be conscientiously endorsed and which are, therefore, justly entitled to our good will and united co-opera- ton.
 It does not necessarily follow that concerns which are not here repre- sented are unfriendly, nevertheless those listed on this page have demon strated their friendliness in various ways and should have our support.
