INVESTIGATOR WARNS
OF PERIL IN ATTEMPT
TO CUT MINERS PAY
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, ID. C.--lf the U. S.
Coal Commission assumes that wages
of anthracite coal miners can be held
at their present level or that it is
impossible to cut the profits of coal
mine owners, any recommendations
the Commission makes will rapidly
become ancient history, is the con-
clusion reached by Hilmar Stephen
Raushenbush in 1.-THE Anthracite
Question" just published by the H..
w. Wilson Company, New York.
Mr.. Raushenbush says that real
wages of anthracite miners per ton
were only Z per cent more in 1919
1920 than in 1902 or 1913. In 1917
real wages were the same as in 1899.
Real wages per ton in 1921 wer 80
per cent more than in 1902. These
facts taken together with the known
facts about the increasing prosperity
of the coal mine owners spell trouble
for the future, Mr.. Raushenbush pre-
diets.
Mr. Raushenbush, who is attached
to the Bureau of Industrial Research,
New York, has made close study OF
the situation in the anthracite mine
field. He spent five months in the
anthracite region during the W.
strike.

THE MARKET
VALUE OF
DEMOCRACY
By Frank Evans.

In a moment of temporary truth
fulness, some fossilized reactionaries
occasionally let their real opinions
get lose from behind their whiskers
and the sanctimonious mask of
hypocrisy.
1t is positively appalling TO think
how much duplicity can hide behind
old Charley Hughes well-clipped
beard, for example. Yet his piratical
prevarications aimed at Russia and
the central American countries have
made his bewhiskered countenance
as infamous as the face of the Me-
dusa, upon which none could gaze
without turning to stone.
But occasionally, as we remark, the
truth escapes the hairy portals, and
we find out just how much the COM
mon people are detested and disr
trusted by their "superiors
No example could better illustrate
just how scornful are our rulers of
their subjects" than the statement
made by Major General James @.
Harbord of the U. S. Army, at Trim
ity College, Hartford, Connecticut,
on June 10th, 1928.
Major General Hartford, spoke right

matter, thinks the general who spoke
the following exact words as quoted:

l2-HOUR DAY NETS
500. 100000 A YEAR
FOR STEEL COMPANY
BY Clar,ssa Ware

May production of steel was at the
rate Of over $4,000 900 tons per year.
according TO a recent report BY Bah
son. Briefly, the steel mills are run
ning 9S1o capacity. This is the
largest monthly output on record.
The price of steel is now 1926 above
last year, and at the same time labor
costs only l09e higher than a year
ago, and bituminous coal 2ses less.
Inc bank account of the United
states Steel Corporation fattens al a
rate which throws some doubt into
Mr.. eary's plea of poverty and the
need for the twelve-hour day and
slave conditions in the steel Indus
try.
To abandon the twelve-hour day, =
said JUDGE Gary, would REQUIRE at
least 10000 additional employees and
raise the price of steel 1856.

IN the industry of 55,S00,0O0 the

Der Of employees needed to run the
industry on an eight-hour day would
be $4,000. In 1922 the u. S. Steel
employed 2l4,93l workers. With the
high salaries of directors, vice-presi-
dents, and other ornaments, added to
the wages of the workers, the average
OF wages and salaries was only $500
per year. Taking this padded figure
as basis the $4,000 workers would
only cost the steel corporation about
S36,0OO,000. And last year the net
earnings of the United States Steel
Corporation were Sl01 ,529, $40.
Let the added costs come out of the
millions ofprofits and there will still
remain about. S65,000,000 annual
profit for Messrs Gary and Co. to
divide up between themselves.
The. cry is shortage of labor, a
plea for the twelve-hour day!

The workers in this basic indus
try must organize into powerful in

take their places side by side with
the workers on the railroads and in
the mines. Then, and only then, Will
the twelve-hour days. the starvation

tinue to plead for aid and under

will continue to sweat millions in
