But how to secure this voice. How

that it will take a good deal of time

Push Capital Levy"
So naturalization was not a para
mount issue. But the capital levy"
was. Whether the Labor party made
a mistake in allowing it to become
one of the paramount issues is a
question that has given rise to a diff
ference of opinion in the organiza-
ton. The ''intellectuals" from the
two chairmen, Sidney Webb and j.
X. Macdonald down, unanimously
claim that the capital levy" issue
gained votes--and they prevailed on
the organization not to qualify the
plank in any way. But the best
known labor union leaders, Clynes
and Thomas, qualified their position
on 1t considerably, while Ben Tillett
practically repudiated it. In the
words of Clynes "the Labor party Is
not welded to the idea of levy ON
capital"
But if the Labor party was divided
on the question of making the cap
ital levy issue paramount, all the
other parties were united in believing
that it was the weakest point in the
Labor party program, and they were
certainly more responsible than the
party itself for keeping this plank
in the foreground.
The enemies of organized labor did
not succeed, however. in their con-
the capital levy" was the main part
of the Labor party program. The
labor union wing of the party was
practically unanimous in giving great
err prominence to the three really
paramount issues;

90 High Cost of Living,
80 Unemployment.
The General Council of the Trade
Union Congress accused the Lloyd

MINERS OFFER
A SOLUTION OF
COAL PROBLEM

New York.-A tentative plan to
nationalize the coal mines of this
country, as worked out by the nation
alization research. committee of the
United Mine Workers of America,
was made public by C. ]. Golden,
president of district No. 3, United
Mine Workers, at meeting in this
city.
The plan is not government owner
ship as popularity understood, but pro-
vides for the operation of the mines
by joint commission. The total cost
of taking over the mines is placed
at $4,500,000,000. This is based on
estimates by coal owners and the
government.
The properties and fixing of Prices
would be under control of federal
interstate commission of mines, di-
rected by cobinet official to be
known as secretary of mines. The
commission would be appointed partly
by professional and industrial asso-
Citations, and partly by the president.
1t would include fact finding, scien-
tific determination of costs, price
fixing and similar duties.
The mines would be operated by a
national mining council, composed of
! three groups, representing the finan-
cial, technical and administrative
heads of the industry; the miners and
coal consumers. Members of the coun-
Gil would be appointed by the federal
commission of mines from nomina-
tons made by the groups represented.
Wages would be considered a first
charge on the industry, that an Amer
lean living standard is assured The
preamble of the proposal presents this
justification;
"The coal industry has been so dis
organized an dmismanaged that the
situation In recent years has APP

the welfare of the industry at heart

What is the actual working pro-

Is il revolutionary on is it cOnstruc-

platform that got the votes in the

of peculiar interest at mo5ent when
the political program of American
labor is under discussion. There is
all the difference in the world between
the situation Of British Labor and
American Labor, but still Great Brit
ain is nearer to us than any other of
the great powers.

WHY DON'T LABOR
MEN WRITE "LET-
TIERS TO EDITOR?'

Why are labor men and women so
neglectful of the opportunity to state
Labor's case and correct false state
ments about Labor in the Letters to
the Editor columns of the daily
newspapers?
The freedom with which newspapers
are permitted to make unchallenged
statements about Labor indicates that
Labor men and women deliberately
permit this opportunity to waste.
What other group is so neglectful?
Practically none.
Take the Christian Scientists, for
example. In every community there
is Committee on publication" which
watches for and promptly answers
criticisms of Christian Science. No
newspaper in America can get away
with any criticism of these alert
committees. The letters to editors
written by these committees are cour-
teous, but very firm, stating the case
simply and clearly.
Many other organizations are al
most as wide awake.
Don't think these letters are use
less. Many of them do not get print
ed, but the editor always knows about
them and it has. to be a pretty "hard
boiled" individual that can forget
repeated challenges as to accuracy.
Many letters do get printed and
there are always many who read
them.
No labor man who can write the
English language should permit a
| false statement to "get by" in any
paper in America. Whoever knows
the facts should write them in letter
J form and mail them to the editor.
Such letters should not be ugly in
temper and they should not be en-
travagant in statement. They should
tell the facts in simple, clear, moder-
] ate language. Their purpose is not
to start fight, but to get the truth
into print and to act as a caution
agains further misstatement.
II committee of one or more can
be designated for this watch tower
job in every community, that is the
ideal method, but if this is not done
then every man and women in the
labor movement should be a self
elected committee, watching the pa
pers and correcting in polite, but
firm language all misstatements,
Don't write long letters. Don't jam
wind. Don't get wild. Get to the
point, stick to the point, state facts
and facts only. Write neatly, legibly
or with a typewriter. Sign your
name and give your address. Watch
results.
Why let. every Tom, Dick and Harry
get away with careless or malicious
work in the news and editorial col
umns of the daily newspapers of the
land?
Why don't the labor men, includ-
l ing labor officials, come to life and
show a little energy instead of merely
bowling about the ''lying newspa-
pers?" Maybe some of them will
never print the truth and maybe
many of them will print only little
! truth, but make the effort. Nobody
listens to the oyster because it has
nothing to say. Everybody looks up
when the noon express flashes past 7

Surviving are his widow, Mrs.

Mr. Jennings was one Of the pio-
neer settlers of Plains, having
come to this community when there
were only a small number Of resi-
dents and business houses. He ac-
lively identified himself with the
expansion of the community's in
fluence in religious, civic and So
cial activities, and was ever re-
spohsive to calls made on him for
charity and other causes.
He was a member of the Bap-
tist church, active in its services,
and had surrounded himself with
friend and acquaintance who
loved him for many admirable
qualities bis funeral was largely
attended, and the floral tributes
attested to the esteem in which he
was held. His passing has cast a
deep sorrow over the community,
and the bereaved family is receiv-
ing the sympathy Of friends not
only in the community in which he
had spent his long and useful life
but from other sections where he
was we'll known.
