been revived by him with added

The stories Of the conditions which
compelled the workers in the Ber-
wind-White Mining company's mines
TO strike and organize for self-protec-
tom were amazing. while that corpo-
ration's refusal to give employment
to their former employees because
they had joined the miners union
stamped It as being heartless and un-
American.
The right of workers to organize
for mutual protection has been rec
ognized everywhere. In fact, in GER
tain industries where skilled labor is
employed, organization Of mechanics
Is being encouraged by employers.
Collective bargaining has become 6
fixed institution in this and many
other lands, and only recently, Presi-
dent Harding and other men Of au-
thority, learning and standing, ex-
pressed themselves in favor Of cOllec-
tive bargaining as being in the inter.
est Of Americas industrial welfare.
BY its un-American tactics, in refus-
ing to accede to It's workers the right
to arganize, Mr.. Berwind's Berwind-
White Coal company and other corpo-
rations like Il created famine in a
most important commodity. which,
besides hampering industries giving
employment to those who need it to
earn livelihoods, Is endangering the
health and lives of millions of limo
cent men. women and children.
Government Ownership.
Coal is as much a necessity to the
life. health and well being Of the peo-
pie as food. We must have food to
keep alive, and with the exception OF
water power here and there, we de-
pend on coal entirely to keep us
warm, furnish light and power and
cause the wheels of industry to re-
volve. In fact, coal plays such an inn
portant part and is SO vital to our
lives and comfort and to the develop
ment and prosperity of the nation
that, in the opinion of your commit
tee. it is the duty of the national gov
eminent to take over the coal fields,
utilize them for the benefit of the
people and place it beyond the posi-
bility of any man, or group Of men, to
restrict coal production or its distri-
button.
While your committee was appoint
ed for the purpose of investigating
the mining and living conditions in
