2,5OO Miners Strike
 Over Pit Entry Rule
Reading Company Barred Men From Shafts Till Work Hour-Walk-
 out Is Spreading.

Shamolsin, Pa, Dec. 2I.-A strike, which has tied up the North Frank lin and Bear Valley collieries here since Dec. 7. threatened to develop into general walkout at all mines owned by the Philadelphia & Reading Company when employees of the Burnside mine this week joined in the walkout in protest against recent order of the company prohibiting night shift workers form entering the mines before o'clock in the after noon, their regular starting hour.
 Union leaders declare that mine workers at two other Reading col lieries in this district would join the strike unless the new ruling was re- scinded. More than 2,5oo men are idle as a result of the strike, which means a production loss of many thousands of tons a day.

 Merry Christmas; Happy Ne.D Year
By SAMUEL GOMPERS

It is important that labor should participate where nominations are made and where platforms are for rnulated.
 The American Federation of Labor national non-partisan political cam paign will this year be conducted on broader and more energetic lines than ever before. Labor's effectiveness must extend into every precinct in America-and with the cooperation of the great farming population this vii be accomplished.
 On the industrial field the organiza- ton of the wage earners is always our first and primary task. Our conven- ton has ordered a number of spe- cial organizing campaigns and these are either under way or are being planned It is my hope that during the year our movement may add a million new members to its roll. This is easily possible. Protection and promotion of their rights and interests and proper par ticipation of the workers in the af- fairs of industry, makes organization necessary. The proper conduct of in-

COMPENSATION LAW PAID MILLIONS TO
 WORKERS IN YEAR
Report of Commissioners Show. In jured Workers Received
 $4,578,744 in Benefits.

The annual report of the Connecti- cut Board of Compensation, compris- ing the five commissioners in the five districts of the state, was submitted to the governor this week for pre- Sentatios and again shows what re- earkable thing for the workers the compensation law, passed mainly through the efforts of Organized La Dor, has been to them.
 The report shows that in the past two years the sum of $4,578,744.S7 has been paid to workers in recon pense for injuries sustaised by them while actually in employment This equals annually $2,28o,372.43 which brought down to weeks amounts to $44,o26.2o and to days with the aver age of seven days to the week to the handsome sum of $6,28o48 day. When figured to the population of Connecticut every person in the state would have received $I.73 cents if the amount was divided up equally.l
 For actual payments as compensa- ton for injuries, loss of life or limb and time off there was paid $2,732,- 52o.3I and for expenses for surgical. medical treatment, medicines and other incidentals provided under the law the sum of $I,846, ,224. 56.
 Most of the employers of the state are now educated into the fact that in compensation they have their best asset and they would fight to man any attempt to do away with the law now. 1t was not so only a dozen years ago when Labor was trying to have the law passed

The meeting last Sunday last was to hear principally the report of a special committee consisting of President P. E.. OMeara and Secretary I. M Ornburn appointed several weeks ago to inter view the state banking commissioner as to the actual requirements necessary to start the bank The committee present. ed mass of data secured from State Banking Commissioner, John B. Byrne, in which every legal requirement was fully set forth and the way paved for the organization to go. ahead with its plans.
 In addition the committee was assis- ted F. E. Nelson organizer of the Broadway and other banks in New Ha- ven mad vicinity and during the entire afternoon every detail was thoroughly gone into with the result that the full committee concluded the details were sufficiently in hand to warrant going ahead With this decision arrived at it was voted to go ahead with the proper bonding of the committee to act pending formal organization of directors and of- hcers; to engage an attorney to properly draft the necessary legal papers and to accept the preferred advice of several bankers who have welcomed the Labor bank proposition to their midst
 At the meeting to be held in Hartford therefore these details wll be completed and thu the amount of capital stock, its price per share and the location of the bank will be decided upon. Assurances have already been given the committee that the stock will be largely subscribed for and it may be possible that the. sub scription may have to be limited as has been the case with other labor banks throughout the country as fast as they have been instituted. If such is the case the committee will do as other banks have done, allot the stock so as to give all organizations desiring it, chance to get in.

dustry, the proper safeguarding of the rights and interests of the toilers, the proper and necessary stabiizing of industry, make organization of first importance to labor and to employers as well.
 We live in an age of collective ef- fort. Nowhere does the individual life and work in world of his own. Working together, it is necessary to organize so as to plan together, to function properly in every direction, to make life better and to make in dustry better.
 Every wage earner ought to join the trade union of his trade or call ing and every trade union member ought to be an organizer.
 The year 1924 will bring it's re wards, but 1t also will bring it's ob- legations and duties.
 Let us all, as trade unionists, dc our utmost to make our movement a credit and a constructive force in SO ciety. If we are good trade union ists, we shall be good citizens of our Republic and America will be the bet ter for our efforts.

The year 1924 brings great tasks to the trade unionists of America
 The year just closed has placed our movement in position of strength and solidarity that fits it for the tasks, that lie ahead.
 Tn 1923 our country measurably re- covered from the period of depres- sion and the fight of the so-called open shoppers and wagecutters prac- tically came to an end. It losts it's driving power.
 Ahead of us in the immediate fu- ture is a national political campaign. Ahead of us also is a great general campaign of organization, reaching into every field of activity.
 The enemies of our movement say that we are not in politics. The fact is that we are in politics to the limit. determined to make our influence felt for progress and human freedom.
 It is of the utmost importance that every trade unionist take an active part in the campaign now opening. 1t is important to see that trade union ists participate in the nominating of candidates and also in the selection of political convention delegates.

CARMEN AND RIDERS
 ATTACK ONE-MAN TROLLEY CARS
Spirited Hearing Before Aldermanic Committee On Motion to Rule Them From Streets-COm- pany Officers Approve Them and
 Hint at Fare Raise.

Hartford, Dec.21-The fate of the one man trolley car Tn Connecticut will probably be thrown in the Common Council at Hartford at its meeting next month when report of the committee on railroads IS expected which will la for resolution offered at the last meet ing ruling the one-n1an cars from Hart ford streets. This seems probable fol- lowing spirited hearing Monday be- fore the committee at which members of the ocal trol1eymen's union and pa irons of the car lines announced the one-man cars and declared them unsafe and a nuisance and at which the cars were warmly defended by officials Of the Connecticut Company.
 During his argument President Lu- cils $. Storrs intimated that unless re- venues held up and in fact were increas- ed, it might be necessary for the com pany to restore the reduction in fares put into effect some months ago. At the conclusion of the hearing however, 1t was apparent the committee was III ia vor of the busting of the cars and 1t IS expected 1t will so, report at the next meeting of the Council. If the Coun cil adopts the report court action will follow it IS predicted, if the company re- fuses to abolish the cars under the 'Tuc- ker Grant" fixing the rights of city and company over trolley traffic.
 The Tucker grant clearly states that the cars shall be manned by two men, but the opinion was expressed by some to-day that the courts may construe that provision as meaning safety and service and if these elements obtain as fully in the one-man cars as III the two-man cars the court may decide that the agreement is virtually vindicated with one-man cars so far as public welfare is con cerned. Others raised the point, and ap- peared to have supreme court decisions in mind, that if an agreement is found to be out of keeping with public policy. such an agreement may suffer forced 
 Mayor Kinsella is keeping himself as much as possible out of the issue but his sentiments lean strongly toward revoca- tion of the one-rnan trolley permit

OPEN SHOPPER USES PULPIT
 TO SPREAD HIS PROPAGANDA
Imposes Upon New Haven Congregation With Mass of Distorted Facts In An Attack Upon
 Unions Instead of Playing His Own Game.

s It has generally been supposed by Labor men as we'll as others, that the province of the Church is to teach the doctrine of truth but as has been eHidenced lately anything is liable to happen in the church these days, and that was again evidenced at St. Johns tP. E. Church is New Haven on Sun day night last There before a con gregation that although mainly made up of women, was agreeably large, a representative of the National Manu- lecturers Association occupied the pulpit an ddelivered himself of har- angue on 'The Open Shop" which for pure and unadulterated twistisg of the facts was one of the most remarkable addresses ever delivered in church edifce.
 He was Earl Constantine, intro duced as assistant to the president of the National Manufacturers 'Associa- ton, and the only reasos he got away with his remarks was because the few union men present out of curiosity to hear him, realized they were supposed to be in a House of God and there fore declined to get into any contro- versy with him there and them
 Had Cosstantine, who should have also been labelled "The Great" if not "The Greatest of Falsifers" confined himself to discussion of the Open Shop no one would have cared what he said as his argument would have been worn out before he started. But as usual with birds of his species his talk had little to do with the Open Shop but was mainly an attack on the Unions.
 xzfififfsSHRSHR HIS CHS SH SH
 For instance one of his remarks that "the very fact that unions have no standards by which to judge those who desire to enter is a sign of their weakness" was an out and out false hood as "The EarP' well knew. He and every other exponent of the Open Shop is now fully aware that practi- cally every Organized Labor body in the country has very high standard to which worker must measure up before he or she can become mem Der of the Union.

ENGLISH LABOR HINTS FIGHT ON
 PRESS COMBINE
Ramsay Mac Donald Intimates Action By Journalists and Printers.
 Bitter Attacks Heard

London, Dec. 2I.-Possible labor action against England,s new com bine of newspapers has been hinted at by Ramsay Macdonald. leader of the Labor party.
 Lord Beaverhrook and Lord Roth ermere have been the objects of bit ter attacks since they formed the combine which now holds control of the London press, but 1t remained for Ramsay MasDons9i to-. intimate that action might be taken against the combine by organized journalists and printers, if the combine isn't good
 Macdonald attacked the combine for some of its statements with re- gard to Labor's policies and then made these significant remarks:
 T hope that the time is not far off when the National Union of Journalists, for the sake of the repu- tation of the profession to which I myself am proud to belong, will con- slider this type of reputable journal ism, and that printers will, if moral agencies fail, and sense of decency cannot be relied on, themselves de- eide to be made the tools of such scoundrelly action"
 A strike against the combine for its attacks upon the Labor party was evidently what Mcdonald meant
 The newspaper workers in Eng land are solidly organized and there is no doubt but that the unions work ing together could tie up the opera tions of the newspaper combine, but whether they will have the courage to take such action is another matter. At present there is surplus of news paper workers in London, and every newspaper in and out of the combine Is fully stafed, some overstaffed A strike against the combine would mean that the strikers. must have suf- ficient funds to carry on prolonged fight, for there are no new fields of endeavor to which the men can turn for self-support.
 Antagonism against the combine continues to grow, however.
 ''It is bad enough to have the press monopo1ized as it now is, so that, with very rare exceptions, the opinions you read, If ever you waste your time in reading the stuff that is being produced, are those of one or two men," Macdonald declared. "It is very much worse that the own CTS of newspapers can buy man to do the dirty work of the familiar masked Italian attacker who used to stand in the shadow of the doorways and courtyards to stab his victim in the back"

New Insurance Plan
 Before Cigar Makers

Chicago, Dec. 2I.-Members of the Cigar Makers International Union have completed referendum on an insurance plan that was submitted to them by their last convention
 If a canvass of the vote shows that the proposal has been adopted ar engagements will be made, to reinsure members with reliable company. The plan provides for compulsory i'm surance for all members to the extent of $Ioo funeral. benefits and at the basic dues of 40 cents week. The members may then voluntarily take, in addition to the $Ioo, insurance in multiples of $1oo up to $500 at an in crease in the dues of five cents a weeks for each additional $1oo.
 The basic dues, covering all bene- fits and all other activities and carry ing $Ioo insurance, IS 40 cents. If the member takes $1oo additional, or a total of $2oo, his dues will be 45 cents; if he takes $4oo additional, or a total of $500, his dues will be Go cents.
 The plan is compulsory only as far as the $Ioo Is concerned and volun- tary after that amount. The inter national union, through its member ship, can abandon the plan at the end of any one year
