ILLINOIS MINERS
MEET IN PEORIA
EARLY IN APRIL

The date of the Illinois state min
er's convention has been postponed.
The convention which was to have
been held at Peoria on March a, has
been changed to early in April, prob
ably on the Sth.
The delay is said to have been oc-
easloned on account of an important
meeting of the scale committee with
the mine operators at Jacksonville,
Fla.
The April convention at Peoria will
be one Of the most important in the
history Of the Union. Important ques-
tons relating to the future success of
the organization are to be considered.
Among these are said to be the ques-
ton Of limiting the state presidents
power, the effort of the deposed state
president of the miners union in Kan
sas, Alexander Howett, to re-enter
the union; and the question of con-
seTyatye or radical leadership.
More important than these ques-
tons is the effort to secure better
working conditions among the miners
and more equitable wage scales, in
'olV!ng the question Of continuous
employment.

COAL Is MINED
AT S3 I.l0c A TON,
WHO GETS PROFIT?

Jim Meneoly, Local No. IA, Carpcn.
ter's Union, gives out some interest.
ing figures relative to the prices paid
for coal mined at powell, ILL.,, and the
price paid for the same product de-
livered 10 the consumer. The figures
he obtains are based ON n news item
credited in local papers TO The In.
iernational News service.
In announcing what Is believed 10
be worlds record of wages paid to
coal miner sduring n period Of two
weeks ending February ih, the afu.
Gle states that the 500 men employed
al the big Kathleen mine at Dowell,
earned 4 total Of sos. 900. The article
further points out that the average
wage paid to the miners during that
period was $i23.ie, while tho highest
wage paid to any einploye was SiVa.de
The record wage Is credited In the
article TO Mike Mailer who receiret
| Sie4.ab for mining 234 tons. Of Goa
within the period OF two weeks.
Mr.. Msnreiy asks q question that y
of special interets 10 Union men, ane
should be of interest to all citizens
who must pay " a ton for the same
coal delivered 10 their bins.
lie points out discrepancy In The
actual cost of mining that Is partieu.
larly interesting IN view Of what The
public has heard about the Increased
cost of coal resulting from increased
wages paid 10 miners.
lie figures that the miner gets onlS
SO Ito cents per ton for his labor M
an average wage. which Is obtained
by dividing the two weeks wages re
ceived by Mick Mailer by the number
OF tons Of coal he produced,
Mr.. Meneely further states that The
hauler gets S1.b0 a ton for delivery
total cost of s2.33 Is for diggint
and delivering the coal. He ask
where the remainder of the $7, OF
/ Sa.66, goes and who gets IL. Oh
yiously IL Is divided between the min'
owners, the railroad company VIII
| transports IL and the dealer sh'
handles It. everyone of which feceiyei
considerably more per ton than thi
miner who risks his life while thi
others risk only their capital.

SOUTH SIDE LEADER
VOWS LOYALTY
TO LABOR CAUSE

Champaign, H.. Fee. -. 1924.
Mr. II. s. Burr. Editor
Twin City Review.
Champaign, Illinois.
Dear Mr.. Burr
In regard to the article mailed Won
for publication, several weeks age.
will say that The South Side I'm.
provement Association" is for union
labor and viii endorse every enter.
prise that will further the best inter
ests of our city. In all these things
we tender our cooperation.
We realize that the laboring man
should have sanitary homes, reasona-
Bile distance from our educational
institutions. We will have an open
forum meeting in the city council
chamber at 1880 n. m, February 22nd
All interested in civic improvements
are invited to this meeting. We will
have good speakers.
Yours truly,
II. d. HOWARD,
Chairman
Mr.. Howard refers to letter which
he mailed The Review for publication
following action of the Chamber of
Commerce Board of Directors in
transferring deeds to a lot in south
Champaign to the Circle A Products
company, with reservations permitting
the city council to extend its mains
through the lot and to use a portion
of it for the extension of John street
when eXpedient.
The letter was not published in The
Dax fnp . 4
was considered closed when the trans
fer was made.
The South Side Improvement Asso-
citation is in position to advance the
caues of Labor materially in that Sec
tion of the city by advocating that all
its members encourage the letting of
building contracts in south Champaign
to contractors who are known to en-
ploy only union workmen. The Re-
view suggests such policy as the
est means of proving the loyalty that
is suggested in Mr.. Howard's letter.
So far as The Review is aware the
loyalty of the South Side Improve
ment Association to the cause of I'm
ion Labor has never been questioned.
The inexpediency of objecting to the
sale of the lot, however, was empha-
sized in a Review editorial, in view
of the fact that it appeared blow
would be struck at the Alexander
Lumber company preventing the nor
NAL expansion of the concern.
Union Labor is interested in the
expanison of this company because the
management is known to favor EN-
ployment Of Union Workmen only.

The war in Mexico Is not over,

been forced to fortify their army IN
the hills surrounding Papantla.
Other important battles are expect
ed momentarly. Aid is reported to
have reached. the national forces
through shipments of military sup
plies from the United States. To this
fact is attributed the success of the
national army, though reports indi-
cate that dealers in supplies have been
busy smuggling military equipment
including ammunition and arms to the
rebel forces.
As it now appears the war has set
tied down to something like seige.
Owing to the ability Of rebel forces
to hide in the hills the war is likely
to continue indefinitely.
