WELFARE WORK AT THE MINES

| Members of the United States Goa
Commission, which is engaged in ar
Investigation of the bituminous Goa
industry, have been making an ex-
haustive study of the problems con-
| fronting that industry and in their
work have examined numerous briefs
submitted to them by consel for both
the mine operators and the mine
workers. But it remains for the
mine owners Of Alabama to make the
most startling allegations yet
brought forward against the organ
lied miners.
There were series of charges in
hne with the report of Governor
Thomas E. Kilby, of Alabama, who,
sitting as arbitrator of the strike of
1920 in that state, said:
TITS (The United Mine Workers.
leaders have striven to break down
the confidence men have in their en-
ployers, instead of cementing it; and
they have opposed all welfare work
instituted by the employers for the
benefit of the employees because it
tends to draw the employer and en-
ploye into closer relations"
The Alabama operators have been
pioneers in the effort to better the
living conditions of their workers.
They have provided homes with
electric lights and running water,
gardens, good schools, health clinics,
and amusement centers. These con-
cessions, they say, were made volun-
tarily and without any suggestion
from their workers, who are not
members of the union. Hence, 1t has
been difficult for United Mine Work
ers' organizers to make any Roadway
in. their efforts to attract the miners
to their ranks.
Surely the United Mine Workers
could not consistently lend their
strength to campaign against this
welfare work, and 1t would seem to
the bystander to be up to the union
to explain away this allegation by
Governor Kilby, If 1t can be ex-
planned away.

Brussels, Belgium, Aug. 31.-Small
as it is, Belgium is not united as a
nation. Two nationalities, the Wal
looms and the Flemings, one Teutonic,
the other Gallo, are struggling for
mastery. Independence for Flanders.

Object to French Language.
Flemings have worked themselves
up to n state Of bitter Indignation
over the tyranny of language which
they allege they. majority, are call
cd upon 10 suffer. Ever since the
declaration of independence 3 years
ago, they complain, French, the Ian
guage of a minority, has been regard
ed as the national speech of Belgium.
Not one Flemish university exists
anywhere. All institutions of higher
learning are French. That language
they admit is an idiom of culture more
useful and more widely understood
abroad than Flemish, but Flemish is
their native tongue. Language equal
ity in parliament, in government proc
lamations, municipal ordinances and
railway admins ration is already
theirs, but that is not enough. EQUAL
ity in schools. primary as well as col
legiate, equality in courts and army
orders they also demand as inherent
rights, on he basis of conditions in
Switzerland. where French. German
and italian rank side by side as L.
gal languages.
Wallons and government officials
brand these contentious as impossible
on the ground that they aim a NOR
tai blow at unity and concord within
an otherwise harmonious Kingdom.
Flemish is language of restricted
usage ard no literary value. they say,
which it would be mistake 10 force
on any section of the Belgian people.
The analogy of Switzerland is d-eeiv-
ing. they claim. because in that coun-
try all three languages are interna-
tional tongues of value for every Swiss
citizen "a learn. while in Belgium.
Flemish is a neglected local SPEECH

looked down upon by nearly half Of
the population. Educated Flcmings
learn French, but educated WalIoons
do not learn Flemish. One common
language or at least one favored Ian
guage is necessary for purposes of
national administration, so IL it can
not be Flemish why not allow it to
remain French?
Flemings in Majority.
The StrO 1gest argument for the
Flemings seems TO be that their speech
is that of majority of the Belgian
nation. The strongest arguments Of
the Walloons is that Flemish is Il
tongue of no international value and
no literary merit.
Looking at the problem from an
objective point of view it seems as
if the Flemings have the strongest
strategical position. They have worked
up real nationalist movement within
recent yea-s.
Numerically Flemings outnumber
Walloons by full million inhabitants,
the proportion standing approximately
as four to three. Geographically
Flemish territory extends along the
northern and eastern frontiers of Bel
GUM from Maastricht to Yprer. in
Guiding the whole sea coast and the
towns of Antwerp, Mcchlin (seat of
Cardinal Mercier). Client, Bruges and
Ostend. while Walloon territory occu-
pies the valley of the Mouse and the
southern frontier around such towns

Brussels is neutral and mixed. Ethno-
graphically the Flemings resemble the
Dutch and the Walloons the French to
such a degree in both cases that Hol-
land and France probably would alb
sorb Belgium il she separated into
two parts.
Indeed. there is something of
movement among the, Wa,loons for a.

Copenhagen, Aug. 31.-Denmark
has restored her devastated territories
{ by her own efforts and is ready to
do business whenever the political
situation will permit her.
This is the substance of the Dan
ish trade banking reports for the last
six months which show that the guam
THY of the principal Danish exports,
butter. eggs and bacon. were above
the pre-war levels for the first time !;
that livestock exports were restored
to pre-war quantities and that the
banks are rid of piles of "assets"
based on expected speculative profits
which have never happened.
Denmark, though neutral in the
war was terribly devastated. Its
cattle supply at the time of the
and the hog supply less than a quar-
ter normal. partly because many had
been killed and sold for high paper
mark profits and partly because the
blockade made importation of the
necessary fodder impossible.
Later the speculation enterprises
based on expectation of an early re-
vival in Russia and the restoration
of the German purchasing power led
Denmark to the verge of a financial
crash. But the Danes soon realized
the fact that the reservation of their
devastated provinces must be achieved
by their own saving and labor with
out foreign aid or financial magic.
They grimly pocketed their losses,
burned their dead commercial papers.
based their whole financial and
credit system on tangible values and
concentrated on production for ex-
port.
Now it is evident for the first time
that they have succeeded though bust
ness men are still gasping at the
painfulness of the process. The COM
mercial import process almost has
been abolished. Next years budget
seems likely TO balance. The recent
fall of the crown is laid TO expendi-

exports. The expenditures, it is said,
will be productive late.
Thus Denmark since the war as
before the war, shows herself to be
splendidly able to put her own house
in order. but cannot put other peo-
pies house in order. And as an ex-
port and trading nation her prosper
ity depends on other people.
The writer asked DIR. Thalbitzer,
one of the. foremost economists in
Denmark whether he has confidence
that Denmark's future now is bright.
He replied gravely:
with the present dangerous poll
tical situation in Europe, we cannot
be confident of anything"

UNION LEADERS AND
OPERATORS ANSWER
PINCHOT PROPOSALS
Mine Owners Agree on 3
Points bat Reject Pay
Increase Plan.
By the Associated Press.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 31.-An-
thracite operators and miners union
officials today returned answer to
Governor Pinchots peace proposals
for averting mining suspension, the
miners accepting them as a basis for
continuing negotiation and the oper-
ators, while objecting to the flat 10
per cent wage increase. accepting
it on condition that an agreement
putin it into effect over long term
of years be effected.
Operators, while declaring them
selves in agreement with the COVER
nor's proposals ON three points, as
serted that "no general increase in
the wages of anthracite mine workers
at this time is justified"
Arguing against the governors Of
fer of a 10 per cent wage increase.
the operators said it would add
S3O,O0O,0O0 per year more to the
wage bill of tie industry. and that
ANY favorable consideration by us
must be conditioned upon n durable
agreement covering period of
years with provision for annual
revision"
On all points except the 10 per
cent flat increase. Governor Pinchot
suggested. the joint answers from
both groups in the industry indicated
a degree of satisfaction. though the
union again asked the" check-off" and
the operators demanded that the
union abandon this and all other de-
mands in consideration of the long
term wage agreement.
The union offered to renew neo-
tiations between the parties. without
mentioning the suspension orders
which have been issued by its off
cials to become effective tonight.
Both answers were given out just
after Governor Pinchot took the
leaders on both sides into executive
conference.
The meeting. behind closed doors
guarded by state police. was still in
progress while the double set of
answers to the peace proposal was
being made public.
