WHITEvILLE, w. va.-This section
is the Big Coal River section where
there are many small mining towns.
1t is from this town that the armed
coal miners started their campaign
in 1921 and 1922 to go and assist their
striking brothers in Mingo county.
In 1921 the wages were cut and all
miners in this district declared a
strike. The coal companies brought in
scabs to work in their mines on the
American ''open shop" plan ever since
1921. There are miners here who have
been on strike ever since that time.
There are union men who have re.
turned to their jobs and are now
working in the same mines with the
scabs. Every one of them almost
without exception are dissatisfied,
They work very hard and do not re-
ceive enough money to live upon.
We do not know what stand they
will take on the first of April when
their agreement expires in the union
mines. The miners say that no organ
izers have made an appearance as
yet to advise them what to do on the
first of April.
Those that belong to the X. X. X.
claim that they are satisfied with
their conditions as they are. The Ne
gro preachers have started a campaign
from Charleston, w. Va, and they are
organizing the Negro miners and ad.
wise them to have faith in the al
mighty god instead of in unionism.

What the A. F. of L. Says

True to form, the Communists once
more are trying to do their utmost to
WELD improper influence among the
members of union labor at every cleo
ton of officers of organizations afili-
ated with the American Federation of
Labor. The real purpose of this effort
is to create split in the organiza-
tons upon which they concentrate
their activities The United Mine
Workers, the International Brother
hood Of Carpenters, and the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists have
had the misfortune of being the tar
gets Of these boring from within
specialists. from the Federation
News organ Of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor, issue of March 2S, 1925.
The next in the exhibition is frorn
the union Of clothing workers which
was formed in 1914 by a split away
from the American Federation of La
Dor, leaving the faker Rickert of the
United Clothing Workers to hold an
empty Office of4a union practically
without members. 1t was led and still
is led largely by yellow socialists.
whose increasing tendency to repeat
the same bureaucratic crimes of
Rickert against the interests of the
workers who belong to it, has re-
suited in criticism Of these officials
by the left wing-and the criticism has
been answered with blackjacks and
guns and explosions. We introduce:

ing the period mentioned in this arti-
Gle, were OF Individuals who had no
ways and means of bringing their
cases before the membership. The
present series OF explosions have the
support of an ever-growing left-wing
group which has a definite program
of action and has its own official ex-
preston in the Progressive Building
Trades Worker and is supported by
the Trade Union Educational League,
the Workers (Communist) Party, and
all OF their numerous publications.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 3d.
Abandonment Of Is of its 81 mines
with an estimated loss of $5,000,00o
to the company was announced here

according to the company.
Non-union mines are producing coal
for $1.25 ton which is 81 less a ton

BRITISH UNIONIST
Unions Now.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. methods
are winning in the fight Of British
trade unions against the employers.
asserts A. B. Swales, chairman Brit
ish Trade Union congress (the Brit
ish A. F. Of L., in q special article b
appear in the April issue Of the Loco
motive Engineers Journal.
I'VE are no longer standing VITA
our backs against the wall. resisting
stubbornly the attempts Of the en-
ployers to drive down our wages fur.
Their and still further" Swales writes.
"but have turned the corner and have
embarked on campaign OF attack,
with winning advances In nearly
every industry. We intend to con-
tinue our offensive until the full OBJ
jective OF our program has been %
cured"
AmalsamatIoR A Major Step.
The major steps in the consoiidat
ed offensive has been the consolida
ton of unions into powerful weapons
OF labor on a national scale. Swales
shows. "Our general council is now
engaged upon the task imposed upon
it by the 1924 congress of framing
scheme whereby the consolidation
and unifying of the unions can be
carried a further stage.
"The number Of separate unions
catering for the particular trade or
group OF trades and crafts can be re-
duced by the amalgamation of exist
ing organizations, along with paral
lei movement which seeks to over
come the dificulty faced by unions
who are not able to amalgamate for
a variety of reasons, but can be brot
/ together in declarations, representing
I the whole body of unions concerned
with particular branch OF industry"
Decrease in Number and Increase
Of Unity.
Since 1920 the number OF separate
unions has decreased more than is
per cent UnskilIed workers, former
ly organized only locally or in dis
tricts here and there are now en-
rolled in three huge unions, Swales
reports. The National Union of Gen
eral Workers, the Workers Union,
and the Transport and General Work
ers' Union have a combined member
ship Of 100000 and are considering
amalgamation into a single organiEa-
ton.
In the building trades the consoli-
dalton has been carried so far that
no strike can be declared without
the consent OF the executive Of the
National Federation of Building
Trades Operatives, on which all the
crafts are represented. Both nation
ally and locally the workers Of the
industry speak and fight as one"
Swales declares. The same is true
In the foundry trades.
"1n amalgamation," he concludes
Ties the greatest possibility for the
British workers"
But while British union oficials are
actually amalgamating their unions,
the American union bureaucracy is
fighting it and preventing It. even
those in the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, whose organ publish
es the accomplishments Of the Eng
lish unions.

SAFETY FIRST
IS SLOGAN
Mack Truck Bus Drivers Start
Salty Campaign, Signing Agree
men Before They Drive

There is an ole saying that Char
ity starts at home" and in this sense
it is learned that the International
Motor Co., manufacturers of Mack
buses has taken the first steps to-
wards inaugurating an extensive
safety campaign among its own driv-
ers in the hope that the idea will
spread to drivers and operators of
thousands of buses on our city streets
and national highways.
The agreement, which Mack bus
drivers in the Long Island plant of
the company are signing, is as fol-
lows:
'In accepting this assignment, am
determined that my first considera-
ton will be the safety of my passen-
gers and other occupants of the high
ways.
81 will not operate this vehicle
unless the brakes are in first class
condition and / will test personally
the brakes to make sure they will
act properly in the case of emerg-
ency.
Il will take every precaution
against the hazard of fire and will
stop my engine before replenishing
my gasoline supply.
81 have authority from. the state
to operate motor vehicle of the
above class and know motor vehicle
laws and ordinances of the states in
which it is to be operated, and will
obey them.
II am familiar with the rules eff
the road and my constant endeavor
will be to make my passengers con-
Portable and to show courtesy to 9TH
er occupants of the highways.
Il will always sacrifice speed for
safety. 1 will always drive, first with
care, comfort and courtesy, last with

Concerning the Inheritance tax
Judge Crisp said; "The Federal Gov
eminent is to retain the Inheritance
tax but will rebate to the State in
which the deceased lived, part of
the tax assessed. However the tax
is to be reduced to 20 per cent from
40 per cent, this applying only on

tates of $4,000 and less are tax
free.
Eighty per cent of this tax goes
to the State in which deceased re-
sided and twenty per cent to the
Federal Government. The tax bill
will pass the House before Christ
mas and Senate soon afterwards.
Judge Crisp is to be here until
December 1 when he returns to
Washington where Congress will
open its sessions December 7.

The Taxes on automobile Access

smaller taxes that were so small that

tax reduced normal income taxes

wife and no children who draws an
income of $4,000 would only have to

ITALIAN SUB RAMMED.
Probe Reveals Collision Likely
Cause of Sinking.

ROME, October CP.-A statement
issued yesterday by the minister of ma.
rine says it is learned that the Italia n
submarine Sebastanio Veniro, sunk off
the Siciltan coast during the maneu-
vers of the italian navy in August,
was rammed by the steamship Capena,
belongin@ to the Roma Navigation Co.,
and intimates that investigation may
prove that this collision was the cause
of the loss of the submarine.
tThe Seba stanio Veniro was first re.
ported missing on August 81 after she
had taken part in the naval maneu-
vers. 1t was established that she had
gone down near Cape Pasero, on the
western coast Of Sicily. She carried
so officers and men,
