 inc how nice and handy it would be for the Blowgee to have a cute little ice cream soda water fountain in his hat, so that he could give everyone nice ice cream soda with each hot weeny sandwish.
 And no one ever had to pay a penny for anything.
 And while the Raggedys and the Treemax were visiting with the Blowgee. they heard a real loud voice cry, Look at the great big hat! Let's go see what 1t is for!"
 So the Raggedys and the Treemax and the Blowgee all went inside the Blowgee's hat until whoever it was speaking had passed by.
 And as they all peeped opt of one of the Blowgee's windows they saw two great big men coming.
 "Ahar one of the great big men cried, "I shall run and kick this hat as hard as ever I can I'll bet a nickel that I can kick 1t higher than the tree."
 "I'll just bet a million dollars that you can't kick the hat higher thar the tree, the other great big large man said.
 | So the first great big large man started to run towards the Blowgees nice hat home, intending to KICK the hat higher than the tree. Dear mel" the Blowgee cried what shall we de? If the great biG man kicks the hat higher than the

UNION MEN STRIKE AT B. OF L.
+. MINES

The miners employed at the B. Of
L. f.. Brotherhood mines on Coal River
are on strike, and strange as it may
seem, against the "Open shop" plan,
under which the management of the
mine have declared that they propose
to operate.
The refusal of the company to
recognize a committee from the union
relative to the discharge of two union
men without cause brought the stua-
ton to a climax and the mine was
struck.
Secretary Fred Mooney in discuss
ing the situation said:
an Februarg, 1921, / saw Mr.. War
rem S. Stone at Cleveland in regard to
using union Labor at the company's
mines on Coal River. Mr.. Stone
agreed and promised in the presence
of Frank w. Snyder and w. I. Har-
ris, then president of the West Vr-
ginia State Federation Of Labor, that
when the mine was ready to run coal,
union men would be employed AS a
result, we sent union men to the work
ings, but later Mr.. Stone laid down
on us. We made inquiry, and in a
letter from Mr. Stone we were inform
ed that it had been decided to operate
on an open shop basis. This was
following the summary dismissal of
the two men and the refusal of the
management to recognize the union
committee that was prepared to pro-
test their discharge.
"Mr Stone did not offer any excuse
for laying down on us, or for the de-
cision to operate on the open shop
basis. We're going to keep the men
win the strike"
Secretary Mooney further stated
that he understood that a couple OF
punches Of transportations" had been
sent to the mines, but at last accounts
only two or three men were working
The mines are operated as the Coal
River Galleries Company and are To-
Gated on Lick Creek, near Ashford,
Boone county, and it is said that APP
proXimately 80 per cent. of the stock
is owned by members of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. The
organization itself has nothing to do
with the company, except that MI.
Stone, brotherhood president, is chair
man of the board of directors.
Judging from the conference held
with Mr.. Stone as referred to above
by Secretary Mooney we can hardly
see how the members of Labor
union who own practically all the
stock in the enterprise, can join hands
with the Logan operators in the fight
against the West Virginia miners and
we are constrained to believe that the
resident manager is the fly in the oint--
ment and that the stockholders, will
not stand for his "open shop" junk
and that the mine will be placed on
strictly union basis when the stock
holders are apprised of the situation,
regardless of the views of one on two
men in temporary authority.-W. Va.

l.. s. LABOR LEADS THE WORLD

American wage workers are not
paid high wages, when the produc-
tivity is considered, said julius Klein
of the United States department of
commerce, speaking to the merchants
and manufacturers association. Mr..
Klein is connected with the foreign
and domestic bureau Of the depart
ment.
The speaker declared that with an
equal number Of employees, an Ameri-
can plant can turn out at least four
times the output of a like establish
ment in Europe, so that the higher
pay here is more than absorbed.
American coal mines, he said, are
about seven to two in efficiency as
compared with the mines in Europe.
Due to improved machinery and in
creased efficiency, American labor
has a lower net cost than labor on
the other side of the Atlantic, he said.
