They are in no mood at all to ac-

Of their alleged grievances.

The United Mine Workers. in its
own view, has suffered greatly re-
Gently also from 1.-The public's law

instance, a judge named Berkey en-

Such injunctions are thought by
the United Mine Workers to make
the right to strike" an illusion.
The miners increasingly believe that
the institutions of 1.-The public" are
packed" against them.
This fact is said to be one Of the
root reasons why the so-called rad

to power as the head Of the union in
one of the three regions Of the an.
thracite district.
Thus. the miners are thought to be
in a rather ugly immediate anti
Governmental mood. 1t is said that
the only way to put them into any
other mood would be If the Govern.

ability to check the coal owners

as to check the miners when the
miners stir.

But how is the Federal Govern

New York, Sept. 22.-To get away from Impossible conditions imposed by the union" the Carey Printing Go. last year moved from this city to Bethlehem, Pa, where the "open shop" atmosphere of steel would be more congenial. Up to then the Carey company had employed 500 union workers and was prosperous.
 4 High wages demanded by union printers and the 44-hour week inau- gurated by the International Typo Fgraphical Union" was given as the cause for leaving New York. In Bethlehem the company would have an "open shop" with wages and hours fixed by the employer.
 A few days ago the Carey Printing Go. announced it's insolvency. It was found to be impossible to obtain non union "open shop" worknen in the printing trades with sufficient skill to satisfy old patrons. Soon after nov ing to Bethlehem and inaugurating there the "open shop" policy 27 pub lications which had patronized the Carey company for years withdrew and went to union houses where effic- tent workmanship was assured

PHONE GIRLS ARE
 GETTING JOBS BACK
New England Co. Forced to Re
 employ Strikers at Fair Wages.

Springfield, Sept. 22.-After trying to evade, and evading for several weeks, the agreement reached to set tie the 'phon strike by taking it's former operators back, the New Eng land Telephone company faced by the demand for adequate service which was engineered by Organized Labor, is at last finally coming round to keeping its word. This week about so per cent. of the old operators were restored to their jobs and more are, being put on as rapidly as the com pany can get rid of the incompetent society danes 1t hired to break the strike and then didn't dare fire
 Only the insistence of Labor peo- pie having phones that the company provide decent service brought about the return of the girls The company had no idea of taking them back un- til it found itself up against a com plaint to the public service commis- sion of inadequate service. Then it began taking the experienced help back and to get many of them hade to give the raise asked in the first place Although the girls lost the strike on the surface like many an- other strike they won their point and while many of those who did the win ming still suffer financially the strike was morally won. The company paid incompetent help high wages while it lasted, couldn't fire them when the strike was over but now they are getting the gate as fast as they can be checked up.

There were the question of ratification or %ejec- ton was submitted to the tri-district convention of the miners. The new contract was signed Wednesday aft ernoon at Governor Pinchot's resi- dence
 More than 500 delegates, represent ing local unions in the three United Mine Workers districts of the an thracite region, took part in the con vention.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Failure to reach settlement by negotiation, the shipping board has instructed it's legal department to prepare suit against the Bethlehem Shipbuilding corpora tion for recovery of about $2, soc, ,ooo alleged to have been overpaid under that firms war contracts.
 II sustained in the courts the point raised by the board may throw open for legal review scores of war con tracts involving hundreds of millions of dollars.

 The Bethlehem company, which launched more than 200 ships under government contract has received compensation estimated by the board at about I3 per cent of the contract total Claim for approximately s. 5oo,ooo additional was filed by the company under the so-called' econ omies clause" which arranged for a division between the government and the contractor of any savings affect ed by the latter.
 The shipping board has now taken the position that this clause can have no weight in court since the contrac- tor by strong moral inference, If nothing more was bound to conduct the work on as economical basis as humanly possible This position IS said to have received the endorse ment of the depassment of justice.

Too raw for even the hide bound manufacturers of the Naugatuck Val ley, the center of the brass indus try of the country and especially in terested therefore in traffic problems and all pertaining to the New Haven road, the, New England governors committee report got another kick in the neck this week when the Valley brass men met at the Waterbury Club and approved the report but added a few suggestions. The sug- gestions following the approval meant just one thing and that IS the valley crowd wants the New Haven road let alone unless 1t can perhaps be harnessed up with the other New England roads as suggested. But as that involves consolidation with the Boston & Albany, part of the New York Central system, the manufac turers decided to let the governors committee withdraw it's order and adopted resolutions favoring a New England consolidation with no out side interference. As the B. & A. is the biggest part of New England transport, the New Haven has to de- pend on the New York Central to get into New York, the decisive action of the Waterbury bunch is at least gratifying. Read the statement made following the meeting then weep if you must. It follows:

 If the representatives of the farm CTS or the industrial workers desire to get the ear of the President they may occasionally secure a 10 or Is minute interview in the executive offices.
