MIners worry Cabinet


LONDON, Aug. 13.-The cabinet
returned today to consideration Of
the coal situation.
Although Downing street had been
engaged earlier in the week with
conversations over the security
pact with Germany, no interna-
tional question could just now out
weight in Importance to Britain
the momentous issue involved in
the making of lasting peace be-
tween the coal operators and the
miners.
The Governments latest difficulty
is the dissatisfaction Of the miners
with the commission named to
make coal inquiry. 1t is com.
posed exclusively Of lawyers, indus.
trialists; and economists and the
miners are insisting that their in
terests be also represented More
over, they are declaring that In
default Of such representation they
will refuse to recognize the find
ings of the commission.
The miners are demanding a top
to bottom inquiry, including the
questions of production and dis.
tribution, the use of coal by-pro-
ducts and a consideration of ma
tionalization of the mining indus
try, a prime plank in the platform
of the labor party.
The aggressive attitude which
the miners are assuming is expect
ed to delay the inquiry for several
weeks.

OPEN FAIRGROUNDS
YEAR ROUND URGED
Mrs. Rhodes, in Report, Says
All Should Have Swim
ming Pools.

A proposal that the Fairgrounds be
kept open throughout the year and
that all be provided either with swim
ming pools or wading basins were the
outstanding recommendations con-
tanned in the annual report of Mrs.
Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor, sub
mitted to the Commissioners yester-
day.
Mrs. Rhodes also proposed that the
many school yards opened as play
grounds during the vacation period be
kept in operation after school hours
the remainder of the year
In the opening of new residential
subdivisions one-tenth OF the area, eX-
elusive of streets, should be set aside
for playground purposes, the super
visor told the Commissioners. Each
playground. she said. should be pro
vided with a field house large enough
for indoor recreation in extreme hot
or cold weather.
Mrs. Rhodes expressed the hope that
the time is not far distant when every
neighborhood will have a playground.
1t has been found that children will
not go a long distance to recreation
center.
To illustrate the need for more
swimming pools. Mrs. Rhodes gave
figures to show the large attendance
last Summer at the three pools now
open: Georgetown, 10, ,449; Rosedale,
201S1, and Howard, 25,732.

August 14.-General regret is eX-
pressed here regarding the incidents
of last night when slight disorders
occurred in Victoria Square between
sailors of the American fleet and the
Larrikin element, which had annoyed
the sailors by shouting, "Who won the
war;"
The happening is deprecated by the
great body of the public as an isolated
example of irresponsible hoodlum
spirit to which no weight need be
attached in SO far as the right-thinking
part of the community is concerned.
The incident has been relegated to
oblivion and the shore leave of the
sailors, which was withdrawn shortly
after the clash, has been granted as
usual today. Christ Church is throng-
ed with sailors enjoying the hospital

Child SLAVERY
Streator, Illinois, Lodge
Passes Resolution

STREATOR, ILL.,, April IA The
Creation Benevolent Society of Strea-
tor at the meeting of last week, pass
ed the following resolution against
child labor exploitation, which points
out that the remedy lies not only in
constitutional amendments but in or
ganized struggle and in full govern
ment maintenance for the children OF
poor workers and farmers by the gov
eminent. 1t follows:
Resolution Against Child Labor.
Whereas, the physical and moral
well-being Of the working class youth
of this country is being destroyed thru
the brutal exploitation Of children in
the mines, mills, factories and sweat
shops to create larger profits for the
bosses; ga
Therefore be it resolved: That
we demand the immediate ratification
by the state legislatures of the child
labor amendment to the constitution
and that congress shall Immediately
pass law prohibiting the labor of
children under eighteen years of age;
and be it
Further resolved, that, since the
child labor amendment is meaningless
without government maintenance of
the school children Of the workers
and poor farmers, the state and fed
eral legislatures shall pass a law pro-
Viding full 1oVarnmanf mainfanopoa
Of all school children of workers and
poor farmers, the funds for this pur-
pose to come from special taxes on
high incomes; and be it
Further Resolved, that the trade
unions repeal from their constitutions
all discriminatory clauses against
equal rights in the unions of young
workers; also that the admission fees
and dues be made lower for young
workers to enable them to become
members Of the unions which will
thereby become strengthened in their
struggles against the bosses; and be
it @tf
Further resolved, to call upon all
other working class organizations to
unite with us in a common political
struggle against child labor exploita-
ton and for full government mainten-
ance Of the school children of work
ers and poor farmers"

It looks more as if the areas in

itical interests that are served either
by exposure or concealment Of the
misery rampant in Irish homes, such
as they are in the coast of Mayo, Gal
way and Donegal. Damn the polite
ians, succour the sufferers. INhave per-
sonally visited Killybegs, Kilcar, Tel
lin, Glencolumbkille, Ardara, right to
Dungloe in Donegal and it is hunger,
hunger all the way. Only last week
visited Mayo, from Ballina thru Bally-
castle to Portacloy, it is one long tale
of unrequited toll, disastrous seasons;
no crops to reap; no seed to sow;
hunger and misery now, misery and
hunger next year, unless food, fuel
and seed can be provided.
The Workers International Relief,
has started relief work in Donegal and
Mayo, andsfood, fuel and clothing has
been and is being distributed in Por-
tacloy, Stonefeld, Carratigue, Corn
boy, Killalagdra, Ballycastle and Bal
lima in Mayo, and also around ancient
Tirconnail and Glencolumbkille. Only
the fringe has been touched, but the
villagers overwhelm us with thanks
for even that little. We need seed
potatoes, seed corn, flour, meal, milk,
sugar, tea and clothing. Lives will be
lost If response is not immediate.
Workers of all lands unite to allevi-
ate the desperate plight of our Irish
fellow workers.

Open Shop Maneuvers.
The Upholstery Workers Union, Lo-
cal No. 20, United Textile Workers, is
one of the old, large unions. Until
the last few years Philadelphia has
manufactured about 95 per cent Of the
upholstering material of the United
States. Lately upholstery manufac.
turers have put factories in outlying
towns where native labor is cheaply
secured. This tendency Of decentral-
ization has not yet developed enough
to alarm the union, but watch is be-
ing kept and recently an investigator
for the union surveyed the entire out
of.town uphoIstering field.
Introduce Speed Methods.
Union upholstery shops use only
one weaver to loom, George Creech,
secretary of the union, asserts, but
non-union shops outside sof Philadel-
phia are introducing the twoloom
system. Women winders and spool
ers are organized with men weavers
in the upholstery union, which is part
Of the textile council. Hosiery knit
tiers, hosiery borders, surgical knit
tiers, loomfixers, Wrappers, warp dress
ers' unions comprise the rest of the
council.
Have Powerful Union.
With the increasing vogue Of silk
hosiery for women, the Full Fashioned
Hosiery Workers Union, of the United
Textile Workers, has doubled its mem
bership since 1920. Philadelphia is
the center of the industry, altho the
largest single mill is the Berkshire in
Reading, Pa. Other mills in nearby
Pennsylvania towns have branches of
the union. According to Gustav Geiges
secretary of. Local 7O6, union shops
have only one man to one machine.
Since the 1921 strike the union has
controlled rs per cent to so per cent
Of the industry. Most of the workers
are young men and girls. The lat
ter may average $2S week and work
is fairly steady turnout the year. Skill
ed piece workers make up to $40.
Seamless Work Cheaper.
Seamless hosiery workers have had
a union but it has declined. The
