Vast Sums Invested v In Coal Lands

Washington, Nov. 24-The total value of the anthracite coal lands in this country, all of which are located in Pennsylvania, are $o8o,ooo, 900, ac- cording to estimates by the engineers advisory valuation committee of the United States coal commission. The report gives the total amount of re- coverable anthracite coal as 8,o7o,- 474,ooo tons.
 From study of past production, /" the engineers say, I've estimate as a conservative basis of value that the field as whole can increase to about Ioo,o-o,ooo gross tons per year and hold this average production to the end of the 4o-year period allowed for available coal"
 The average royalty paid on all coal sold was found to be I6H cents per ton.
 The engineers estimate the total value of bituminous coal lands in the United States, not including Alaska, and plants and improvements on these lands, is $II,442, ,864,ooo. Pennsyl- vania with a total value of $2,778,ooo, GOO is the largest bituminous state, and West Virginia is second with total value of $2,III ,64o,ooo.

Secret Union Foes
 Are Hard to Combat

Washington, Nov. 24.-It Is a far more acceptable fight to combat anti union employers than to fight the in huence of destructive radicals in the trade union movement who work in the dark and i'll a more insiduous way than does the most interruptions em- ployer, said James Wilson and A. J. Berres delegates to the A. F. of L.. metal trades convention, in reporting to the membership of the Pattern Makers League of North America.
 The frst-named delegate Is presi- dent of the Pattern Makers League and the latter is secretary-treasurer of the metal trades department, A. F. of L.
 "Radicalism in the sense of which we speak has never accomplished any thing, nor will 1t ever succeed in bringing about results other than those of destructive nature to wage earners," the report declares.
 Men who apparently enjoy seeing other men suffer or who are happy when there is the slightest evidence of dissatisfaction or apparent disloy- alty on the part of union men, in- diyidually or collectively, or who are especially pleased when progress on the part of the trade unions is ap- parently retarded for a time, are suf- fering from psychic condition close iy bordering on species of insanity"

New York Socialists to Start Weekly Following Collapse of Supposed
 Labor Organ.

New York, Nov. 24.-Plans for estab- fishing a Socialist weekly paper to take the place of The New York Call and The Leader, which recently were sus- pended, will be discussed tonight at a meeting of the Socialist Party at 7 East Fifteenth Srteet Morris Hillquit and Algernon Lee will speak.
 Joshua Lieberman, Executive Secre- tary of the Socialist Party, announced yesterday that considerable sum of money, to cover years publication de- ficit in publication, already has been sub scribed by Socialist for the weekly and that it is expected that the paper will appear in a few weeks. He also said that the publication of the weekly paper would not eliminate the hope of starting another Socialist and labor daily and that a special committee is preparing a re- port on the subject.

GARMENT TRADES CUT ALLOWANCE ON
 UNEMPLOYMENT
Union Referees Also Reduce Guaran- teed Employment Period
 to 40 Weeks.

Cleveland, Nov. 24.-Because of readjustment in the ladies' garment trade, the period of guaranteed em- ployment and the unemployment all lowance for 1924 are reduced in a de- cision handed down by the board of referees maintained jointly by the In- ternational Ladies' Garment Workers Union and the Cleveland Ladies' Gar ment Manufacturers Association
 The period of guaranteed employ ment was reduced from Al to 40 weeks, and the unemployment allow ance will be 50 per cent. of the mini mum wage instead of 6o 2-3 per cent. The wages remain unchanged, but the board reserves the right to take up the wage readjustment again in April
 Under the decision the employers are permitted to employ casual work CTS for period of four weeks Ten pc rcent. of their payroll is set aside by the manufacturers as a fund from which the workers are to pay up to 40 weeks during unemployment, as long as the fund lasts.

Oppose Wartime Law

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 24.-The Central Labor Council has called on the city council to repeal the ordin- ance on syndicalism for the reason that it denies free speech, free press and free assemblage, and places too much power in the hands of officials who would enforce the act.
 "The only excuse warranting the passage of this ordinance was the ex- istence of war, the unsettled state of opinion and the then apparent over ruling necessity for the preservation of order" the resolution declares.
 The unionists point out that they were always opposed to the act mot from any sympathy with the practices against which the law was directed, but from fear that so drastic meas ure would lead to great injustice in its administration"

crease, encouraged as they are by the success of the anthracite workers this year. The present rate of pay in the bituminous fields is about 50 per cent. higher than before the war, but in view of other conditions-for in stance, the fact that the mines run, at the outside, only 75 per cent. of the time-the miners say they are not able to produce living wage. The operators feel that the wages are not in keeping with other trades and will insist upon a reduction.
 Both sides are deeply interested in the national versus district agree ments. Prior to the war there was no national agreement. Each of the big bituninous centers - Central Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Illinois, for instance-had its own agreement with the operators and miners. It was so arranged that these agreements expired at digerent times during the year. To provide against strike, should one occur in one dis trict, the other districts could speed up production and reduce the effect of the existing strike"

WAGE DEMANDS (Continued from Page One.)

forced their wages to the same point. The differential betw cen the bricklay- CTS and plasterers and the other trades had for years been only ST, with the result that the latter at once thought they had a grievance when the gap was widened.
 More directly, the present demand results from the success of the mar ble cutters, members of the new Building Trades Council, in winning so cents day more from their em- ployers, with the promise of arbitra- ton on a second 5o-cent demand. This was in October. Three weeks ago the old Building Trades Council decided that what this union. acting independently, could achieve they themselves could win working togeth- CT. The request for ST day fol lowed promptly.

10000 SCOTSMEN
 RUSH TO AMERICA
 IN SEARCH OF JOB
Skilled Tradesmen Unable to Find Work at Home Flood U. s.
 and Canada.

Glasgow, Nov. 24,-Seventy thous- and Scots, most of them wrenched away from home by unemployment, have emigrated since the first of this year, the majority going to Canada and the United States.
 Tradesmen unable to make a good living at home compose large part of the moving mass. Of skilled craftsmen, no longer able to find work in the industries that feed the Clyde, hundreds have gone hopefully west rd-engineers, building trade arti- sans, iron and steel workers-highly skilled labor that Britain deeply re- grets losing.
 Not long ago an American touring the Highlands and the Lochs near Glasgow remarked to his Scottish host that it seemed pity men had to pack up and leave such a beauti-- ful environment, whose legends and traditions were rooted deep in their hearts. :.
 Aye, but ye canna live on scenery" v said the Scot.

 OSAKA, Sept. 8.-Picture the up- turned faces of thousands, drinking in the drops from God-sent rain
 Visualize the agony of thousands, without food or drink for four days and finally ending their lives wilful ly to escape their awful suffering
 Feel for mothers, driven insane be- cause their babies were dying for lack of milk
 Consider the anguish of sons, who, after trudging miles with an old father or mother on back, searching for bit of food or water, discovered they had died enroute-
 Try to comprehend these things and you in America will know the story of thousands of refugees arr irving here from the areas devas- tated by the earthquake.
 It is tragic story. this narrative of these thor sands. Most of them have wandered for four days, at least, without food or water. A gen. tie rain which sent a.measure of suc- cor was drunk in my these refugees who got what they could from lying on the ground and with mouths open catching the drops. Every puddle and pool after the rain was an oasis.
 Now and then a small park would be reached where refugees fought in the endeavor to catch fish or ducks in sufficient quantities to strengthen <nem for their march on.
 Doubtless the tragedy of suffering has been dulled now In foreign corn- tries, but perhaps the greatest suf- fering here is being endured now.
 Thought or fear of further quakes has subsided. The great worry or the living is to get sustenance now whereby to live on.
 The first newspapers publish long accounts of American and British sympathy and aid, particularly that of the United States, which happened to be first and greatest. The nation has been deeply impressed by this.
 The meteorological observatory has announced that there were 1,039 gradually decreasing after-shocks registered up to Thursday moring. There is no more danger

 Relief work has begun on a large scale and all refugees are now re- ceiving rice, water and pickled plums twice daily.
 By desperate efforts, the Tokio garrison. after a week in which an- nrchy was frequently threatened, has succeeded in restoring order.
