SMOKE SCREEN
Raised By BarOns to Save
Coal Profits

Washington. - Coal owners are
making hysterical efforts to detraci
the Union States coal commission and
the public generally from the royal
profits in this industry.
| The commission is being flooded
with stories of how the United Mine
Workers of America are conspiring
to monopolize this industry, and cause
anguish to the pure-minded, holy coal
owners who live only to serve the
people.
The anthracite mine owners have
employed Walter Gordon Merritt to
sign their statements. Mr.. Merritt
knows as much about the coal indus
try as he does about the labor move
ment.
In reply to this attack, the mine
workers say, in part:
"If ever there was an unconscion-
able hold-up, it is the one that has
been inflicted on consumers of anthra-
cite in the last several months. II
costs around $4 ton to produce an
thracite at the mines, but the con-
sumer is compelled to pay SIG to SIT
a ton for that same coal. If the
operators wish to put stop to a
hold-up, let them begin at home and
relieve the consumer of part of this
imposition. The miner receives but
a very small share of the SIC or SIT
He is not responsible for the gouge
of the consumers pocket.
"And when these operators raise
the question of monopoly they are
again on thin ice. There is such in
tricate interlocking of coal companies,
anthracite railroads, sales companies,
wholesalers and distributors, all con-
trolled and dominated by the same in
terests, that the anthracite business is
a gigantic, scientific monopoly, fact
we'll known for many years.
"If the anthracite companies are in
earnest in their demand for correc-
tion and regulation of the anthracite
monopoly, the United Mine Workers
will be happy to help them clean it up.
Possibly, if that were accomplished,
this monopoly would be forced to re-
duce the outrageous price which the
consumer now is required to pay for
anthracite"

President, international Photo En-
gravers' Union, and Vice-President
American Federation of Labor.
CHAPTER
With the ever increasing industrial
activities and complexities, the con-
slant growth of trade unionism, and
the rapid multiplication of duties and
functions of the American Federation
of Labor, it became desirable to cre-
ate distinctive bureaus or depart
ments charged with particular duties
and functions which could not be ad-
ministered so efficiently by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor as a whole.
The departments thus far formed
are four in number and include the
building trades department, the
metal trades department, the railway
employees department and the union
label trades department.
Industrial Departments
| These departments are subordinate
| divisions or agencies of the American
Federation of Labor. They are dis
| tinguished from city and state feder-
ations of labor in that they are form
ed on industrial lines. They afford
the opportunity to federated inter-
national unions of delegating powers
and authority to such departments
which they would not and coula not
delegate to the American Federation
of Labor because of its general labor
character. These departments are
created in immediate response to the
needs and requirements of the great
developments taking place in the
more basic industries of our nation.
They reflect the desire for larger and
greater industrial cohesion and CO.
ordination of collective power without
destroying trade autonomy While
greater power and influence is vested
in these departments, they are never
theless subject to the control and
supervision of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and to the international
unions associated with these depart
ments.
These departments have developed
in turn subordinate departments in
the various cities where a sufficient
number of subordinate local unions
Of workers are engaged in the several
trades represented in department.
Thus we find subordinate building
trades councils in many cities and
also union label leagues. All of these
locals, councils or leagues are indie
pendent of one another but all are
subject to regulation and control of
their respective international depart
ments. These international depart
ments in turn are subject to review
by the American Federation of Labor

GRAVE LABOR UNREST
is BRITISH PROBLEM

London, England. nation is
confronted on all sides by strikes be-
cause of wage cuts and demands for
longer hours. Building workers have
been called upon to accept drastic re-
ductions and longer hours. Agricul-
tural workers in the vicinity of Nor
folk have shown surprising solidar-
ity, which is causing worry in gov
ernment and other quarters. Pot
terry workers to the number of 10000
are demanding a new contract, minus
the demand for wage cuts, while the
National Union of Railwaymen have
given notice that they will not ac-
cept lower rates for shop work. Mar
itime workers are also involved, and
thousands of jute workmen have been
locked out Added to this situation is
the unemployed army that shows no
signs of decreasing

UNIONS ARE ADVISED

Ottawa, Canada Canadian
Congress Journal, official magazine
of the Canadian Trades and Labor
Congress, publishes the instructions
of the workers party-Canadian
agent of the third international at
Moscow-to all members on how to
agitate in the trade unions.
A form resolution for one union in
one industry is to be changed to suit
local conditions, but all must carry
the same idea.
The instructions say that "on no
account must it (the resolution) be
thrown into the ring, SO to speak, as
challenge; let the whole thing be
arranged with all possible care, so
that the resolution comes as an ex-
preston of the feelings of the dele
gates"
Or, in other words, the delegates
must be worked" but they must not
know of it.

Artistic Ancient Earrings.

Within the last decade has occurred
the return Of the earring, so long laid
aside. Few seen today, however, sur
pass in taste and delicate finish the
earrings of Biote, the daughter of
Aristotle, which were found In Chalcis
where the young woman was buried.
These ornaments represented doves
swinging in golden hoops. The minia-
ture birds were maryeloualy wrought,
the feathers of granulated gold, the
wings and breasts enriched with bands
of color supplied by inserted gems.
Precious stones cleaned like tiny
sparks for the eyes Daintiest Of all,
the tail feathers were SO finely made
and curiously adjusted as to move at
the slightest motion Of the pendant
loop so that whenever the proud wear
er should tesa or shake her head two
attendant doves would seem to bal
ance themselves upon their perches as
live birds do In swinging on a bough

ABODE OF THUNDER BIRD"
Indian Legend Concerning Tract in
the bad Lands" Never Visited
by White Man.

Half q dozen miles southwest Of
Scenic, 5. D., In the very heart of the
Bad lands, Is an area of approximately
four square miles. No white mans
foot has ever rested there so far as
can be learned, the Detroit News says.
The Indians call the plot "sichi
makoche," meaning bad place" Deep
canyons and gorges lead up to spire-
like pinnacles, and every attempt to
follow their tortuous paths thus far
has ended In failure.
Chief Flaming Arrow, veteran Of
the frontier days, gives what probably
is the Sioux belief. Many years ago
the chief said, before the pale face
came, here was the place where dwelt
the Thunder Bird" high In the pin
nacles of stone. This wall Of rock
kept out unwelcome visitors, the chief
contended, and added that the pro-
tected area is rich In food, sunlight
and warmth, and has pure, cold
streams of running water.

TWO OCCUPATIONS FOR MAN
One to Work With and the Other for
His Diversion, Is Opinion of
Philosopher.

A philosopher SAID every man should
with, the other to play with, writes
'Girard' in the Philadelphia Inquirer
DR.. John Ii. Jopson's other occupa-
tion is fishing. When this eminent sur
geon was slashing around the other
day with new trout rod il reminded
j. Stodgell Stokes of a story To prove
that the biggest fish is not always
hooked by the most expensive tackle
Stokes and other Haverford cole
CLANS thought 1t would be nice when
the late President Sharpless was about
TO retire TO give him the finest bass
rod, reel and line that could be bought.
The old scholar was duly grateful and
accompanied by Mr.. Stokes elected to
christen his gift in a Jersey water
where bass are almost as plentiful as
the mosquitoes on shore.
A barefoot native lad watching
open-eyed at the unfolding Of the
beautiful rod, whispered to Mr..
Stokes:
The butcher won't sell much meat
tomorrow"
Nothing, however that DR. Sharp
less could do would coax a fish to take
the hook Then the lad, waiting in
silence for an hour, gravely cut a
switch from a tree, rigged up line,
took q rusty hook from his pocket,
dug an angleworm and without com
ment proceeded TO fish.
You have already guessed the
sequel. The boy soon had string Of
bass, while the scholar and his friend,
d man OF high business qualities,
caught not one.

Studies Ancient Grsves.

Prof. j. J. Hornsr, archeologist Of
the University of Oregon, who has
visited what Ia believed to be the
burial ground Of an ancient tribe of
mound builders, near Albany, Ore, has
pronounced the place one Of the Won
ders of primitive Oregon. He said the
finds made by Claude Peacock, farm
er. represented higher type of civ
iIii alton than previous discoveries In
that section.
Professor Hornsr said the carvings
on mortars, the stone pipe and other
objects were examples Of the highest
type of stone workings found In graves
Of mound builders. He said the dis
coveries indicated that these mound
builders, who antedate the Indians.
had the same religion as the sun wor-
slippers Of Mexico.

The Story Of the A. F. OIL.
Its Laws, Character, Strength and Manner Of Working

resides in it's conventions, held an
nually. All international unions, city
and state federations of labor ano
local and federated unions are en-
titled to send delegates to these an
nual meetings. The city and state
federations are entitled to one dele
gate and one vote to each delegate
The representation of the internation-
al unions is regulated and limited
upon a graded scale of one delegate
for less than four thousand members
two delegates for four thousand OF
more; three delegates for eight thou
sand or more; four delegates for SIX
teen thousand or more; five delegates
for thirty-two thousand and so on
One vote is allowed each delegate;
however, upon demand for a roll
call vote the entire membership OF
each international union is cast. BY
that arrangement city and state fed
erations of labor are entitled to a
large delegate representation but
comparatively small voting power,
while international unions are given a
predominating vote and control over
the affairs of the conventions.
The Executive Council
The officers of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor consist of president
eight vice-presidents, a secretary and
a treasurer Combined, these Off
GERS constitute the executive council
In the interim between conventions
the executive council acts on behalf
of the American Federation of Labor.
The executive council, however, is
purely an administrative committee
charged with the duty of carrying
in toeffect the conclusions reached by
the convention. 1t may take the ini-
tiative in such matters as arise be-
tween conventions and which demand
immediate action. It's actions and de-
cisions are subject to review by the
next convention. While disputes be-
tween international unions may be
acted upon by the executive council,
if submitted by one of the organi-
cations involved, its decisions are not
final The convention itself is the
final arbiter in all matters of contro-
versy.
These departments are required to
have their headquarters in Washing
ton, D. c., where the offices of the
American Federation of Labor are
situated These departments meet in
annual convention Immediately be-
fore the holding of the annual con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor and must submit report
of their activities to the American
Federation of Labor The convention
of these departments is the supreme
authority of these bodies, subject to
appeal to the American Federation of
Labor

AncI ent.

Temple of the Moon, believed to
be the oldest building on earth, Ia un-
covered by scientific diggers at Ur on
the lower Euphratss river. 1t was
erected about 1000 years ago, and was
used continuously as church for
1000 years.
King Tut seems very ancient to us,
yet here's a building that was about
40 centuries old when he was born.
Discovery Of the Temple Of the Noon
is important. 1t helps confirm the
scientific belief that the first civiliza-
tion was along the Euphrates. Some
where in that vicinity probably was
ths cradle Of the human rsce-though
Chinese claim that their authentic his
tory dates back at least 1900 years.
