Dirt Should Go
Strikebreak Scheme
Launched I'm England

London, England, Oct. b.--England
is forming a huge strikebfeaking ma
chine for use in the event of possible
failure to adjust differences between
miners and coal owners. The workers
refuse to be awed by this movement.
Les than two months ago the gov
eminent agreed to pay the coal owners
subsidy until next May. In the
meantime a committee has been ap-
pointed TO investigate the industry. IL
was agreed there would be no wage
reductions during the investigation,
but the miners say that the promise
has been broken, and that Premier
Baldwin Is defending the coal owners.
An unofficial organization, to be
known as the Organization of mainte-
nance and supplies" has been set up
in preparation of eventualltles next
May. The organization is stated to be
non political and enrolls volunteers Of
both sexes as special constables, work
els in maintaining public service and
drivers messengers, cyclists
and clerks. The secretary of the new
organization explains that it Is not a
proposal, but 'fhe govern
ment is aware of what Is being done
and knows that IL any action on the
part of the government becomes neces-
sary this organization will be behind
it,"
II an emergency arises the whole
organization will be offered TO the

Lives of NOn-UniOn
Workers Are Cheaper
Than Safeguards

Charleston, W. Va, Oct. 5.-Failure
of anti-union coal owners to observe
state mining laws resulted in the
death of Al workers during August
Every on of these fatalities was in
a nOn-union mine.
Seventy per cent Of the accidents
occurred within a distaonce of 90 feet
from the working fact, which indicates
lack of timbering or improper timber
ing" said II. NJ. Lambie, chief mine
of the state department of
mines.
These employers oppose unionlza-
ton and are not interested in safety
devices, because they can secure a new
supply of workers when their non
union employees are killed or crippled.
These coal owners not only pay a
wage scale lower than the miners
union, but they save in the expense
of timbering their mines.
And lest you forget" says the
West Virginia Federationist, that is
reason why mine owners OBJ
ject to the miners union, as under its
operation the owners are compelled To
comply with the state law. Where
the anti-union shop prevails, if min
er objects to improper timbering in
the miens or other violations of the
law he is informed if he doesn't like
the way the company runs the mine
he can get out. And he usually does,
or keeps his mouth shut"

Favor Death Taxes

Washington, Oct. 5.--Congressman
Green Of Iowa, chairman of the impor-
tant house ways and means committee,
has again declared his opposition to
the abolition Of the federal inheritance
tax. The president fayors an opposite
course. This indicates that admins
tration forces may divide on this ques-
ton.
Mr.. Green's committee will pass up
on reductions Of the income tax. II
seems agreed that substantial cuts will
be made for the higher incomes, and
that the house will rush this proposal
through. Sailing will not be SO easy
in the senate, and the reason for agi-
tatiOn in favor Of senate gag is now
clear. At the last session Of congress
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon took
an active part in tax reductions, but il
would appear that at this session he
will remain in the background.
