Will Tariff BackerS
Split on This Issue?

New York, Sent. 5.-Will the bank
ing interests and the manufacturing
interests of this country split on he
tariff issue?
To date, these interests have been
united for the highest possible tariff
ito protect American labor" they
claim. Prior to the war the United
States was a debtor nation, but since
the war America has become cred
itor nation. Now there are indications
that the bankers are weakening IN
their high tariff position--that they
are leaning to the theory that the I'M
portation of foreign goods is necessary
to pay debts contracted by Europe
American bankers have loaned vast
sums to practically every one of these
nations.
The bankers changed position is IN
dicated by Benjamin M. Anderson,
economist of the Chase national bank
Of this city, writing in the current Is
sue of the Chase Economic Bulletin.
Mr.. Anderson presents arguments
in favor of lower tariff rates to per-
nit larger imports of goods from
Europe, which, he says, are necessary
to prevent ultiate dislocation oi
United States foreign trade through a
contraction of exports.
The economist insists that importa-
ton of European goods as payment
debts do not lessen domestic demand
for domestic products" he said
Rather, they increase by an equal
amount the buying power of the
country
Aside from the technical argument
presented by this economist, the
changed position of the bankers is .oi
interest to workers, and it is quite
possible that the future may witness
division of opinion between man
ufacturing and financial interests or
the tariff. The former will continue
to insist that American labor must be
protected" by keeping out the finished
product that will compete with the
manufacturer, while the banker may
urge these imnorts to pay for money
he loaned.
This possibility will make new
alignment on the tariff, and for tht
hrst time in our industrial history
cause a division between these two
forces.

with sliding scale provision for
wages and permanent and compulsory
arbitration.
SO it appears like a war to the fin
ish with the best organized portion
of organized labor in conflict with the
richest group of American capitalists,
intent upon defeating John l.. Lewis,
the miners leader, in one final effort.
Years of Victory
The anthracite miners have won
every strike in which they were ever
engaged. Beginning with 1902. after
the remarkable organizing work of
John Mitchell, Mother Jones and the
pioneers in the Scranton district, a
strike was called. Through the bitter
winter of 1902 it was fought, until
the misery of the miners, their un-
failing courage and the scarcity Of
coal on the Atlantic seaboard forced
the Intervention by the Roosevelt
commission, of which the late Judge
George Gray of Delaware was chair
man.
The findings of that commission
were the basis of every wage rate
fixed since then. Strikes were mixed
with the years of peace and advance
ment for the miners in the successive
negotiations.
Hours of work were reduced from
ten to eight and gradual increase In
wages was made until the present
minimum of $4.62 was established in
place of the rate of $3.50 that pre-
vailed in 1902.
Last Strike in 1922
1t was not until 1916 that there
was serious interruption of anthra-
cite mining owing TO failure of the
miners to gain their demands, but
they won their point very quickly. ln
1920 came an unfavorable award of a
commission of arbitration which grant
ed II per cent wage increase. The
miners quit for three weeks in resent
ment at its meagerness. In 1922 came
the last suspension and as a result
Fwftfr Gov .Pfncffut-s AID, the sninsrs
obtained 10 per cent increase.
Now they are in what may be q
finish fight which may have important
consequences before it is finished.

Higher Rail Rates
Offer No Solution

New York Sept. with the ma
tion's larger railroads facing unpar-
alleled prosperity, some financial OBJ
servers question if increased rates will
aid railroads that have failed to secure
a net profit of 5A per cent.
Many transportation systems are
applying efficiency methods the last
few years, and this has resulted in
large figures on the credit side of the
ledger. Other roads are staggering
under heavy deficits. The defunct Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul must meet
$240, 600 900 in matunties in the next
10 years.
The financial observers suggest that
instead of insisting on higher rates,
provisions of the portation act
should be enforced by the railroad
managers. II present rates are in
erased. it is said, large part of the
additional revenue would 90 to more
prosperous roads. The carriers in
need of financial aid would have TO
have rate increases Of from 20, 30 and
30 per cent.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1925-09-11

Without a moment of hesitation.
with perfect discipline, 148,000 work
ers quit, leaving 10000 pumpmen,
engineers, fremen and repair men at
work for the maintenance of e2o
mines in the narrow strip of country,
comprising ten counties of Pennsyl-
yania. in which the mine fields are
located. There was no disorder.
Have Faith in Leaders
One of the remarkable facts of the
situation is the quiet confidence of
the miners, their faith in their or
yanization and in their leaders, John
/. Lewis and Tom Kennedy. Yet op-
posed to them is powerful combina.
lion of capitalize railroad-coal
trust. a closed corporation, whose
profits in the coal business are re-
nuted to be immense. No government
agency has ever been able to ade-
Quately decide how much profit these
companies have made, yet it is in the
defense of these profits that they
opposed every demand of the mine
workers and thus made the suspension
inevitable.
The miners demanded 10 per cent
wage increase for contract miners,
81 a day more for day men, whose
minimum wages was $4.62 a day, the
check-off and minor changes in work
ing rules.
The operators answer was that the
business would not warrant added
costs. And thus the prolonged ne
gotiations were fruitless and with the
agreement expiring the miners simply
quit work.
Sure of Winning
This wonderful union of mine work
ers radiates the spirit of victory. A
trip through the coal regions around
Scranton, Hazelton, Wilkes-Barre,
Shomokin, reveals it everywhere.
These anthracite miners have never
been licked and they don't intend to
be licked now.
The operators appear equally de-
termiped and they. expect this time
to hold the cup OF defeat TO the l1ps
of the miners and make them drink 1t
to the bitter dregs. They have already
announced that before they will yield
they want a contract in perpetuity

William Green. President Of the

the following statement on Lafayette
Marne Day, September !:
September recalls the stupendous
incident that occurred in France
which struck the first effective blow At
political autocraey.
The desire TO make subjects Of all
nations in Europe found its first inn
movable obstacle at the Marne.
"Frenehmen who withStood the
terrible shock of the kaiser's soldiers
evidently were animated BY the spirit
of Fafayette-ihat glorious soldier
who so ably aided he American peo-
pie TO secure their independence.
"On such a day as September 4,
designated as The Lafayette Marne
Day." those who made such de-
termined stand 10 keep the world po-
litically free should be gloriiied.
Il was thoroughly stirred ON the
receipt of the news of the victory at
the Marne, although il required four
years and more 10 bring victory TO the
cause of the freedom Of the world.
'lt is TO be hoped that the world
has seen its last war between nations
that claim to be highly civilized.
"The lesson attached TO the great
war is that natios should think twice
before they seek through war to make
subject nations of other peoples.
"The aggressor generally finds OPP
position where he least expected II;
consequently. the percentage of
chances for his failure is very high.
'But this is the great lesson be-
fore US.

every way we can some method of con-
ciliation and international arbitrakon
