Pennsylvania Miners Meet.

toLsn correspondent OF Federated Press)
ALTOONA, Pa, March lf-Open-
ing sessions of the biennial conven-
ton Of District No, 2. United Mine
Workers of America, meeting here
were taken up with discussions pro
and con of the conduct by the dis
trict officials of the long Somerset
strike. Two hundred and sixty dele
gates representing 10000 miners in
central Pennsylvania are attending
the convention.
District President John Brophy in
his report reviewed the policy Of the
international since the strike of
1922 up thru the last agreement
with the operators guaranteeing a
three-year contract at the existing
wage scale.
He showed how the II months
strike in Somerset county had to be
finally called off, principally on ac-
count Of the dull state Of the coal
market, which enabled operators to
be satisfied with production equal
to so per cent of normal, anG made
it difficult for men in the union
fields to pay the assessment.
That the Somerset strike was
worth while. however, despite the
hardships entailed, is seen in the
fact that the Somerset operators
have raised the wage rate, and that
a skeleton union organization con-
tinues in the region, he said.
A significant feature Of Brophy's
report was the stress he laid on
workers education. At present there
are two members of District No. 2
at Brookwood Labor College on
scholarships established by the dis
trict. A friend of labor gave SIS, 900
to District No. . in support of the
Somerset strike on condition that
the money be used Eater on for
workers education. Brophv pro-
poses to use this sum to establish
workers classes in the district.
Brophy emphasized the need Of a
labor party il legislation in the in
terests Of the miners is to be passed
in the state. All bills legalizing
checkweighmen, establishing miners
examining boards, preventing evic-
tion without notice. and so ON, failed
TO pass the Pennsylvania legislature.
The report suggests that the execu-
tive board be authorized TO survey
the whole problem Of unemployment
to see how other industries and other
countries meet tho problem, and to
continue its work of encouraging
consumers cooperation. He remind
ed the delegates Of the need Of a
permanent Fact finding and publicity
agent to make public the truth about
the coal industry. District No. 2
presented many briefs revealing the
wages and living conditions Of the
miners to the federal coal commits
sion.

P OST OFFICE
WORKERS FARE
ILL UNDER new
Coolidge Backs Lame
Ducks Policy
Rv LAURENCE rom

tStef Correspondent Of the Federated Press)
WASHINGTON, Mar. Hilary
New, lame duck postmaster general
IN the Harding Coolidge cabinet, has
been challenged by Senator Couzens
OF Michigan to defend the starvation
wage for postoffice clerks which has
become the first test of industrial
policy of the Coolidge phase Of the
administration.
Couzens is not radical; it was not
long ago that he defended, in an in
terview, the idea of an anti-strike law
covering the transportation industry.
New has the backing of President
Coolidge in declaring that thee postal
workers cannot be paid more money.
New and Coolidge want the postal
workers to take up their belts another
hole or two, and advise their wives
and children to eat less and to waste
less money on clothing and frivolities.
Some one has got to sacrifice, in view
of the proposed reductions in the
taxes on millionaires and why not let
the postal workers families enjoy
the sacrifice
For the Rich.
'I can conceive of no iustifca-
tion," says Couzens, "for the position
you have taken, when it is based sole
ly on the government or more pro-
perly put, on the cost of the users Of
the postal service. You have put the
cart before the horse. This addi-
tional cost is estimated by you at
from $123,000,000 to $150,000, 900.
Your contention seems to be that
this money should be saved to the
users of the service by deducting it
from the just compensation of the
employees.
There never was a more unsound
as well as unwise policy than this.
There is no justification for any serv-
ice existing, that cannot pay its en-
ployes more than living wage. There
is plently Of evidence to sustain the
conclusion that the existing wages
are not even living wage to say
nothing of a wage that makes life
worth living"
High Cost of Living.
Government figures show that the
cost of living, last December, was
.73 per cent higher than in 1918. The
increase in wages for postal clerks
during the same period was only "a
per cent, yet the wage scale in 1918
was VIGOROUSLY inadequate and the
employees were desperately appealing
to congress for a chance to live.
81 do not believe" says Couzens,
"that the users of this service want
any subsidy such as they are, now
getting taken from the pockets of the
employees. Why should 1923, 100000
to $150,O00,000 be taken out Of the
pockets of these. employees and half
Of it or nearly half Of it turned over
to the publishers Of magazines and
periodicals? /. You know if this
matter was taken to the country as it
will have to be unless the congress
and administrator remedy the evil,
that there will be no hesitancy on the
part of the country in approving this
modest increase for the employees"

KANSAS MINERS
ASK AUTONOMY
FOR NOVA SCOTIA
Seek Reinstatement of
Tom MyerScough
BY TOM TIPPETr

sosAm SorfesDondent OF Federated Presn)
PITTSBURGH, Kans., Mar. IT,
A resolution was passed by the
convention of District ID, United
Mine Workers of America, in session
here, demanding that the autonomy
Of District 20 (Nova Scotia) be i'm
medlately restored and that an ele.-
ton be held in which the deposed
officers are permitted to stand for
Office so that the Canadian miners
may select their own leaders. The
vote was practically unanimous.
Another resolution calling for the
Reinstatement of Thomas Myers
cough was passed after lengthy
debate. Myerscough was expelled in
the Pittsburgh, Pa. field for afiIia-
ton with the United Mine Workers
international Progressive. committee.
This IS an organization Within the
miners union termed dual by the
international organization.
Human Side Comes to Surface.
The human side Of the Kansas
trouble was again revealed when a
proposition was introduced to bring
relief to those members of this dis
trlct who lost their cards in the In
dustrial court strike and who have
not yet been permitted to rejoin the
union. Altho the expulsion was
nearly two and one-half years ago
many men are still outside of union
ranks and are still unemployed.
The union regulations are that men
must first have employment in the
industry before union membership
can be had. 1t is this "jokero that
is used to blacklist many of the SYM
pathetic Understanding to argu-
ment on the floor. 1t is also charged
that the provisional organization CO.
operated with this bIacklisting that
has caused so much suffering and
bitterness in Kansas.
Restrict officials Expenses.
Many old men and others sick at
the time Of the trouble lost out in
the local union charter revocations
ahho they took no part in the strike.
Local unions were instructed to ac-
cept these men without initiation
fees and a special dispensation was
asked for from the international un-
ion to apply to all men who lost their
membership in the trouble of three
years ago.

Orders Preachers

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Mar. IT,
Keep your damn mouth Shut" is
Mayor Harris advice to the minis
tiers of Wilkes-Barre who dared to
denounce him for breaking up the
Lenin Memorial meeting arranged
by the Workers Party. This polite
advice is contained in a statement
issued by the mayor in reply to the
Civil Liberties Unions threat to
take court action against him in
case he again decides to interfere
with Workers Party meetings.
eve are not opposed" the state
ment says, ''to free speech, preach
ers, governor or other local notori-
ETY. seekers to the contrary, not
outstanding. We are for free
speech, but not the so-calied oratory
of those law breakers whose attempt
to destroy the greatest government
in the world will never get a foot
hold inl Wilkes-Barre. The
preachers should remember what
Jonah said to the whale We wouldn't
be in this trouble if you kept your
damn mouth shut By the whale,
mean the preachers"
Arrangements are now being
made by the Workers Party to hold
a free speech test meeting in the
near future. An attorney was al
ready engaged by the Civil Liberties
Union to take court action against
the mayor, if necessary.

Aid Homeless children.

MOSCOW, Mar. 17.-Newspapers
all over Russia are conducting a
campaign for the aid of the home
less children. There are thousands
of homeless orphans, the remnants
Of the famine and civil war, in all
the big cities of Russia. The many
organizations which have been Gre
ated for the purpose Of aiding the
orphans, are unable 70 cope with the
situation for the lack of funds. Pub
lie appeals are being made, confer
ences called and meetings held. A
new mass organization has been
created, the Friends of the Children.
1t is counting already thousands of
members.
During the famine OF 1922 the
transportation of children from the
Volga district saved 100000 lives,
according to official reports. About
90 per cent of those children have
been returned to their homes. About
5000 children are still to be re-
turned. The children's homes are
overcrowded.

The Chicago Tribune very prop
erly says that if the German Social
Democracy accomplished nothing
else they have at least succeeded in
preventing the Communists" from
taking over power in behalf of the
proletariat. After they had done
that to the satisfaction Of the
bourgeoisie. they have politely
stepped out and turned the country
over to the Fascist. They are will
ing to make any sacrifce-even CIV
ing up office--for the sake Of democ-
racy. They have not given up Office
this time, however, out Of spirit
of accommodation; they were COM
PEELED to do so because they lost the
confidence Of the workers who are
fast turning to the Communists.
