standard organizations as speaking
for at least IS per cent Of the rail-
road employees, is by all odds the
most significant and enduring penom-
enon affecting the relationship be-
tween management and personnel OF
our railroads. No matter, therefore
how we regard collective bargaining
and the organizations behind it, we
have a phenomenon which has be-
come indigenous to the railroad indus
try.
The wise railroad executive, there
fore, who looks at his industry III a
statesmanlike way, will take full cog
nizance of this fact He will see that
there is a next step in collective bar
gaining which, if it can be taken, will
enhance the value of his institution.
He will see that he can acquire two
million faithful and enthusiastic sup
porters of his industry, a vast army
of agents of good will, who are help
ing him to improve the industry, find
new business and assist in its growth
and prosperity.
One of our most prominent rail
roads, whose management has the IN
U6llSCllSS W COIlSClNC wiz -
employee organizations in the light
indicated, is at present enjoying the
assistance of many Of these organl-
cations, especially those of the shop
crafts in improving morale, quality OF
work, output and service. The per-
formance of this property since the
settlement of the shop strike year
ago gives every indication of the
soundness of this policy. The fact
that the shop craft unions are actu-
ally taking the initiative today and
placing a labor service of the kind re-
ferred to at the disposal of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad, the railroad
enjoying such decided success in its
operations, indicates that our railroad
unions are ready and able to respond
and will gladly assume their share Of
if encouraged to do so.

SCAB MINES
USUALLY WHERE FATAL ACCI-
DENTS OCCUR
NOn-U Union Operators Select Inspect
Ors and Conduct Them Over Spec
tally Arranged Routes

Washington, D. C.-Another BIZ
luminous coal mine disaster with the
usual resultant of heart-rending
scenes of windows and orphans
crowding about the mine opening
waiting for the mangled bodies of
their husbands and fathers to be
brought to the surface.
This time it is the Benwood mine
of the Wheeling Steel Corporation in
West Virginia, and the total dead is
listed at ia, caused by a gas and dust
explosion on the morning of Monday,
April 20.
President l.. M. Scott of the Wheel
ing Steel Corporation is reported in
the press dispatches as being unable
to assign any cause for the accident" !"
notwithstanding an accumulation of
gas in the mine had been reported by
the workers more than two months
ago. Then came the explosion and
not single man in the mine came out
alive. Somebody is responsible for
these tragic deaths.
The BenWood disaster is the fourth
major mine explosion with a loss of
approximately 500 lives within rec
ent months. 1t is significant that
these four exploisons-Castle Gate,
Utah; Dawson, N. NJ; New River dis
trict, w. Va, and Benwood, w. Va,
have all occurred in territory where
non-union mine operators dominate.
Lack of proper inspection and cor
rectlve measures were responsible for
these explosions. In West Virginia,
New Mexico and Utah the state coal
mine inspectors are appointed upon
recommendation of the non-union
operators. Usually they are taken by
the operators or their representatives
on personally conducted tours of in
spection, and see only what the oper-
ators want them to see and report ac-
cordingly.
1t is different in the mines operated
under union conditions, where the
Worlmen have voice in selecting the
inspectors and showing them the dan
ger points, with the result that ex-
plosions and consequent fatalities are
far below these of non-union mines,
according to a mine union official
who has been a mine inspector.
"F'requently in the non-union
mines, when the men complain of foul
air and danger, they are told there is
plenty of good air at the top of the
mine, meaning that if they don't like
1t they can quit the job" said he.
