CUT IN HOURS
NOT FEASIBLE
Bituminous Coal Operators Re-
jeot Miners Plea for Short
er WorkingeWeek.
SAY DEMAND IS UNECONOM|C'
Statement Asserts That the Granting
Of the Reduced Time Would Be
Experimental to the Miners
Own Interests"

A bituminous operators special COM
mittee, of which J. G. Bryton, of Som
crest, Pa, Is chairman, issued state
ment containing these main points :
1.-THE union miners organization Is
still on record demanding the siX-hour
work day and a five-day week. The
record of the last convention Of the
United Mine Workers Of America
shows this, and there are abundant
records besides that.
"This demand figured prominently
three years ago when the coal indus
try was examined thoroughly by the
United States bitunfinous coal COM
mission. After that investigation, the
awards and recommendations Of Henry
M. Robinson, chairman and Rem
brandt Peale, commissioner, were ac-
cepted by President Wilson. On this
demand, the majority report Of the
commission said:
1--WE are convinced that a reduction
in hours Of labor would only make
a bad situation worse, that the miners
demand ON this point Is clearly uneco-
nomic, and that to grant 1t would be
detrimental to their own interests
"'The miners claimed that their
work was extra hazardous, and that
they were entitled to higher pay and
should expose themselves to the dan
gers for fewer hours thus minimizing
the alleged greater hazards. AS for
the hazards, government and insur-
ance figures show that the miners oc-
cupation hazard Is rated relatively very
low, and that it is just about as dan
gerous to be q bookkeeper as 1t Is a
coal miner.
However, in arguing for a shorter
workday, ON the ground Of great dan
gers, the miners set forth that their
labors were intermittent, anyhow, and
that they would work just as many
hours in year with the shorter work
day asked.
Evidently it was overlooked that
the supposed dangers would threaten
the mine workers just as much in the
course Of year If the hours worked
In that time were the same as under
present conditions

TRADE BOARDS FIX WAGES
How Regulation of Pay Is Carried Out
in Certain Industries in Great
Britain.

The regulation Of wages In certain
industries in Great Britain is carried
out by trade boards. According to the
trade boards act Of 1918, the minis
ter Of labor is empowered to consti-
tute board for any trade which, in
his opinion, has no adequate machin-
cry for the effective regulation of
wages and for which, after considera-
tion Of the prevailing rates of wages
In the trade, 1t scenes expedient to
form such a board.
The board consists Of an equal num-
Der of representatives of employers
and workers, together with several in
dependent persons, all Of whom are
appointed by the minister Of labor.
Before selecting members, 1t Is Gus
tomary for the minister to invite the
different trade organizations on both
sides to nominate the stated number
OF representatives to sit upon the
board. These nominees are usually
approved and appointed The inde-
pendent persons are chosen by the
minister alone, the only stipulation in
the act regarding their appointment
being that when there are many wom-
en- workers engaged in trade, at
least one Of their appointed members
shall be woman.
The primary duty Of a trade board
Is to determine what shall be the legal
minimum wage for that trade. After
process Of negotiation taking the
form of series Of proposals and cOun-
ter-proposals, which are gradually ad-
justed until a conclusion is reached,
rate Is fixed. The official sanction Of
the minister Of labor which can be, but
rarely is, withheld, makes the rate
fxed binding on the whole trade after
due notice has been served. It is then
obligatory upon every employer in the
industry to pay not less than the rate
fixed to each Of his employees.
Details with regard to the applica-
tion of the system and its principal
economic effects are contained in an
article in the August number Of the
International Labor Review, the
monthly publication Of the internation-
al labor Office of the League Of Ma
tions. According to this article, the
SO trade boards set up in Great Britain
and Ireland, which cover 100000
workers, have had great influence. In
addition to the fxation Of wages, they
have had an influence on hours Of Ia
Dor, organization and management.
A bill intended to amend the system
in cert ain roSDQcto ia undpr cOnSfdQra-
ton in the house Of commons.

OTHER NEWS OF LABOR

The Potosi Mining company, the
largest If its kind in Chihuahua City,
Mexico, apparently without hope Of
getting its ores smelted soon, closed
down, discharging 600 men. This ac-
tiOn is due to the American Smelling
and Refining company smelter there
being closed by strikes, 1900 work
men being involved.
The second big step toward elimina-
tion Of the 12-hour day in the steel
mills In the Youngstown, O., district
was taken when several thousand
workers changed from the long day to
ten-hour and eight-hour shifts. Only
a small percentage Of the $4,000 steel
workers in the Youngstown district
now are working the 12-hour day, and
the hours Of these few will be re-
duced as soon as additional labor can
be obtained.
Industrial employment is on a sat
isfactory basis and the outlook for
the future Is one Of the brightest in
recent years, according to the month
ly review Of the United States employ
ment service While the report indi-
Gates a seasonal decline in employ
ment in q number Of Industries, there
is no let-up in the building boom and
highway construction. Out Of the IS
leading cities, 20 report employment
increases for August over July, while
35 report employment decreases.
A recent Jewish workers census In
Palestine shows 12,278 men and 4,164
women employed in agriculture, build
ing trades and public works. Jewish
employees working for Jewish Euro
pean employers, according to the CEN
sus, generally enjoy proper European
conditions. Arab employees, espe-
cially those who work for Arab en-
ployers, put in more hours and re-
ceive much smaller wage. The wages
Of unskilled labor have fallen 20 to
25 per cent, while skilled labor has
remained constant.
State Labor Commissioner Heber R.
Nations Of Missouri differs with rul-
ing announced by Attorney General
Jesse w. Barrett concerning the hours
of labor children may work at gainful
occupations. The opinion in the case
was rendered by Assistant Attorney
General George Crowder and indorsed
by the attorney general. Nations con-
tends that the attorney generals de-
partment overlooked an amendment to
the child labor law passed by the 1923
legislature. in holding that children
under sixteen years of age could not
be employed at any gainful occupation
in excess Of nine hours in any one |
day or after Z p. m, for otherwise
such employment would infringe upon
the ruling against night work.
The midinettes' strike in Paris end
ed when the girls accepted the en-
offer of 33 per cent increase
in wages, instead Of the 40 per cent
and an allowance of
francs for luncheon, instead of 2
francs Is centimes, as formerly. Thus,
the average wages of the girls are in
creased from 300 to 400 francs ($18 to
S24) monthly for making beautiful
