CHICAGO PLUMBERS
Winning Fight For Union
Shop

Chicago, Ill--"The Chicago citi-
zens' committee is again securing the
country to bring more non-union
plumbers here" writes Organizer
Richard p Welsh in the Plumbers,
Gas and Steamfitters' Journal "They
have started in the east, commencing
at Buffalo, and visiting all the towns
and cities in New York state
Several of the men whom they in
duced to come here visited me shortly
after their arrival and informed me
that facts were misrepresented to
them and. that they had no idea they
were to be used to assist in destroy
ing the unions, and expressed their
desire to cooperate with US in every
way.
"The citizens committee is finding
it very difficult to man their jobs
with sufficient help. The actual en-
ployer, who is weary of it all, is ask
ing himself when it is going to end
In reality, he is the biggest sufferer.
But the big financial interests and
union haters want to continue the
battle and they are encouraged by
the high-salaried officials whom they
engage to make the fight for them. :"

A POOR PROPHET
Steel Trust Head Gary's
Predictions Way Off

New York.-Judge Gary, of the
steel trust, has proven a fivver in
predicting the terrible things that
would happen under the eight-hour
day.
The judges predictions are we'll
known. They were both extensive and
calamitous. Since then he nibbled
at the eight-hour theory, to the ex-
tent of 80 per cent, and he has now
declared 25 cent dividend on the
common stock of his corporation.
While this dividend calls for only
$1,270,000 of the trusts cash and in
vestment holdings of $319,0 100000. it
is large enough to call attention to
the judges fire-alarm views when he
was opposing the eight-hour day.
The Wall Street Journal, which
also affected to be frightened at the
eight day, turns this fip-fop:
Either the switch to the eight-hour
day was not as expensive as gener-
ally supposed, or deliveries of steel
to customers was made at higher
average prices than estimated"

INDUSTRIAL ACCI-
DENTS CHARGED
TO EMPLOYERS

Eight hundred and three workers
were killed in Ohio last year by in
dustrial accidents. The chief of the
division of workshops and factories
states that he is formulating plans to
reduce the number of accidents by
educating both employers and en-
ployes.
A United States senator once said
that the surest way to prevent rail-
road accidents would be to put a
member of the railroads board of
directors on the cow-catcher of every
locomotive.
Industrial accidents, fatal and non
fatal, are largely if not wholly due
to the refusal of employers either to
provide safety equipment or to ade-
quately administer it after its pro
vision is made compulsory by legis-
lation.
If employers or their immediate rel
atives were compelled to work at dan
gerous machines and in dangerous
places in our industries, there would
be a surprising diminution in both
non-fatal and fatal accidents.

ENGINE MEN STRIKE

Roanoke, Va.-Enginners and fire
men employed on the Virginian rail
road ignored orders of the United
States railroad labor board and sus-
pended work after they failed to ad-
just several grievances. The road is
largely coal-carrying road and runs
from the West Virginia fields to
Hampton Roads.
Between 400 and 500 employees are
involved in the strike, which was
caused, the workers declare, because
of "the drastic discipline and intoler-
able conditions forced on them by
Vice President Hix" One of the ma
jor grievances, the workers say, is
they are forced to use two and three
huge Mallet engines on slow tonnage
trains through numerous tunnels,
which subjects them to hardships and
jeopardizes their lives.

UNION LAUNDRY
OF Terre Haute CO-Ops In
creasing Business

Terre Haute, Ind. The Co-Opera-
tive Union Laundry of Terre Haute is
pronounced success sand has enjoy
ed prosperous year according te
the report to the annual meeting OF
the stockholders, who are the Terre
Haute labor unions and individual
trade unionists.
The auditors report disclosed the
fact that the year just ended was the
most successful one in the laundry's
history. There was a 20 per cent in
crease in business over the preceding
year. New machinery costing $4,000
has been added.
"The organized labor movement of
the state of Indiana spent approx
mately $4,000 in their endeavor to
bring about better wages and better
working conditions for those of our
mothers, sisters, and daughters who
were compelled to seek employment
in the laundries of Terre Haute," de
clares the Terre Haute Advocate, the
official organ of the Terre Haute trade
union movement. ''The conditions
prior to the strike of 1919 were in
tolerant and unbearable. The better
conditions now prevailing in both
union and non-union laundries can be
attributed solely to the activities of
the labor movement.
"The union laundry was the first
of three big ventures of the labor
movement of Terre Haute Following
it's most successful and progressive
as one of our greatest achievements. !"

The governor said he had conferred

gain the public confidence which its
course has forfeited"
The governor also stated that he
had been informed that 20 per cent
of the coal shipped from the mines
contains an unfair proportion of rock

lie is an imposition.

PLENTY HARD COAL
Says Woman Deputy Com
missioner After Inves-
tigatiOn

New York There is more anthra-
cite coal than the people know of, and
this commodity is being sold at too
high price, reports Mrs. Louise Reed
Welzmiller, deputy commissioner Of
public markets, who has toured the
Pennsylvania anthracite fields to
trace the coal from mine to consumer.
She drew these conclusions:
"That new coal deposits will be
found available and will be brought
into use to replace the mines that are
now being worked out.
'sThat there is considerably more
anthracite than the public knows
about. This is also the opinion of the
miners, whose experience should make
them the best judges.
"That anthracite is being sold to the
public at entirely too high price
"That freight rates on anthracite
need readjustment and should be ol
the same basis as bituminous.
Ihat the miners are not receiving
too much for the kind of service they
render the consuming public"
The report further states that
"culm banks, considered waste in
years gone by, are still being loaded
at an approximate cost of Is to 25
cents ton, mixed with freshly mined
coal and sold to the consumer at cur
rent prices"
Miners were quoted as declaring
that the only solution of the present
coal shortage is to have the camps
operated for six months under direc-
ton of representatives of the govern
ment, owners and miners.
Summing up the situation, Mrs
Welzmiller believes that the public is
in the grip of coal trust, which,
despite all efforts, appears unbreak-
able.

The wage schedule adopted by the

the rate for the women is always

Even the state-fixed minimum wage
for men is not enough adequately to
