the privilege of operating its state
owned flour mill in Minneapolis, ac-
cording to the biennial report of the
state department of agriculture. The
mill, which was built at cost Of ap-
proximately $4,000, was given a re-

COAL COMMISSION FAILS TO PRODUCE
 TONIC, SAYS LEWIS
Industry Left Suffering Same Ills as Before Fact Finders Started
 $6oo,ooo Job.

That the United States Coal Com mission proved to be "lamentable failure" and it's final recommendations to the President completely failed to encompass the one great object, sta Utilization of the coal industry, for which 1t was created by Congress, is the verdict of John l.. Lewis, presi- dent of the United Mine Workers of America, in a statement given out at his home in Springfield, ILL, where he went for rest following settlement of the anthracite wage controversy.
 Death of the commission by statute of limitation on September 22 leaves the industry suffering from the same ailments and ills as was the case pre- ceding it's creation, says Lewis, and adds that "it will go down in history as perhaps the most inefficient of all Federal commissions.
 President Lewis statement follows:
 The taxpayers of the nation should be deeply gratifed to know that the life of the United States Coal Com mission legally expired September 22. The commission has been in existence for a year and has succeeded in ex- pending more than $6oo,ooo of the peoples money. The work of the NOL1llIISSIOA SO 1dl dS lI1O SOdl llQuS- try is concerned is lamentable- fail ure and has not even justified the ex- istence of the commission or the funds expended It's report is a maze of well-worn generalities which could have been written by any well-in- formed mine superintendent within a 6o-day period.
 "The commissions recommends lions fail to encomDaSS the bne great object for which 1t was created, name ly, the stabilization of the coal indus try as affecting the opportunity for employment on the part of the miner. reasonable profit for the operator and fair price of coal to the consumer.
 "The death of the commissoin leaves the industry suffering from the same ailments and ills as was the case preceding it's creation by Congress sional enactment, It will go down in history as being perhaps the most inejcient of all Federal commissions from which our country has suffered. It has, however, furnished positions of public distinction to a number of excellent gentlemen who. know less about the coal industry than when they started Investigating year ago. ~A"The commission surrounded itself with large corps of needy college professors and so-called experts of the intellectual variety who wrote reams of staff reports which have been from time to time given public ity.

CONDUCTORS AND
 TRAINMEN ASKING
 l2TO l5P. (. RAISE
Wage Demand Approved By Refer endum Vote of Membership In l Two Organizations.

Cleveland, O., Oct I3.-The refer endum taken by the Order of Rail- way Conductors and the Brotherhood | of Railway Trainmen on the ques- ton of a national wage increase movement has resulted in large ma jorities on all railroad lines in favor of demanding the increase, report ex- ecutives of the two train service or ganizations, who, with the officers of their regional associations, have just completed the canvass of the nation wide membership poll. The an nouncement came at the conclusion of three-day joint session of the conductors and trainmen's executive conference presided over by President L. E. Sheppard of the o. B. C. and Senior Vice-President w. N. Doak of the B. R. T.
 The wage increase asked for will be from I2 per cent to I5 per cent on all railways in the country, which will bring wages for train service em- ployes back to where they were be- fore the famous wage slash ordered by the Railroad Labor Board on July I, 1921.
 The executives of the two organ izations are immediately issuing ord CTS to their general chairmen on all lines to endeavor to adjust the matter of more pay with the executives with out the necessity of appearing before the Railroad Labor Board
 The Trainmen and Conductors feel that the rising cost of living and the present low level of their compensa- ton in comparison with other branch es of the service make their case so strong that they should secure the increased pay demanded without de- lay. The present movement IS wholly confined to wages, and contemplates no change in working rules.
 The Engineerh, Bremen, and Switchmen are also proceeding with similar wage movements, in accord ance with the method outlined at the Chicago conference.
 Tn accordance with the United States Railroad Labor Boards inter pretation of Title III of the Tran sportation act, 1t IS necessary for the union executives and the railway managers to endeavort to reach an agreement on individual roads before carrying the matter to a regional con ference or to the Labor Board Since both the railway executives and the. officers of the transportation broth erhoods are averse to carrying their differences before the Railroad Labor Board, they will doubtless exhaust every possible effort to reach an agreement by local or regional con ferenceS.

agreements which to them are bind ing contracts and to the labor unions are mere scraps of papef?'
 ''The publishers pooled their re- sources to get out single eight-page edition morning and evening. Early in the first day of the strike a staff of artists was set to work preparing an engraved caption for the common edition. Grouped at the top of the first page of the morning edition were the titles of all the eight morn ing papers affected, reproduced in their customary and familiar style. In the caption of the evening edition appeared the name of each of the I2 evening papers represented.
 By September 25 the morning edi- ton had been enlarged to I6 pages and had begun to carry a modest amount of display advertising though 1t lacked editorials. In the volume of the press runs the common edi- tions were said to cover fully the normal circulation of all the newspa- pers cooperating. To date no one has ventured an estimate of the cost of the strike, for merely to consider the many phases of waste staggers the imagination. The total loss in cured by the wilful walkout of 25oo men may assume the proportions of a war loan.
 "The fall trade of all the stores in Greater New York which are de- pendent on newspaper advertising has been decimated by the strike. The failure to turn over retail stocks with the usual rapidity will severely affect wholesalers and put greater credit burden on the banks. Due to the lack of advertising space, offerings of bond issues by the financial houses had to be postponed.
 "The New York newspapers and their patrons, including the largest stores int the country, both have seen their business practically stopped by a handful of men in a single labor union
 Do the publishers and the mer- chants of the country realize that in permitting labor-union rule of the newspapers they are continually op- erating under a handicap equal to that of man trying to drive his car up a hill with the brake set?
 If the taxes, restrictions and lm- positions of the albor-unions were re- moved from the newspapers and the benefits shared with the adrevtisefs, bushes would experience an amazing acceleration."

 no distinction between what we be- lieve to be the interchangeable terms of trade union movement and labor movement; ours is a labor movement conducted by the trade unions of America, and we yield not an inch of activity upon any field for the pro lection and the promotion of the rights and the interests of the work ing people and the citizenship of our country to any other body on earth.
 s1n the year of grace 1923 the American citizenship will know how o deal with the assumption of pow CTS of our judiciary, not by the pro- cess so summarily invoked few cen turies ago in England, but by the in telligence and the constructive pro- cesses of American citizenry"
 In his opening speech to the con iention he said
 Modern history, modern industrial development has brought in it's wake not only the great civilizing influences, but it has brought evils of great moment and menace. There can be no greater menace to the progress and civilization of our time than the sacrifice of young and innocent children upon the altar of
 
 jean people has been awakened, and a cry has gone forth from one end of America to the other that the child life of our country must be conserved at all hazards.
 "To say to this universal demand of our people that the Constitution of the United States is important for the peo- ole to protect the children of our time IS begging the question. The courts have decided that two laws which the Congress of the United States enacted upon the demand of the people of our | country for the passage of laws to pro tect children and minors from undue exploitation, are null and void, that the people, through their chosen represen- tatives, cannot pass a law to protect the child life of America, the children of today upon whom. the perpetuity of our Republic and our civilization depend that IS to lay the greates indictment against our competency
 When the report of the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor shall,, during the course of this day be presented to you, you will ob- serve a report and recommendation to this convention upon this subject which th1s-as the vital question of the hour. This movement of ours, commonly known os the labor movement and, as we term it, the trade union movement, and this, its Federation, is not born nec- essari1y out of an idea, it is born of necessity, it is the result of conditions 1t was born in the beginning of hunger, hunger for food, hunger for shelter, hunger for better food, hunger for bet tershelter, and as time in its course de- veloped new conditions, hunger for still better food, hunger for still better she1- ter, better homes, hunger for rest, hung CT for recreation, hunger for music, for the arts, for literature, for all that goes to make up a fuller, a broader and a higher life-hunger to make this life and world better for our being in 1t and contributing our share of our mark and our service i'll the solution of the great problems yet before us.
