The Economies of Pittsburgh.
ONE of the blunders Of the superficial
~ and uneconomic observer of the
Pittsburgh district has been the in
variable approach from the angle Of
steel. Those who have no training as
economic students are blinded by the
sensations created by the spectacular
and thrilling flash and glare of the
open hearth furnaces on the black
screen of Pittsburgh's night sky. They
come and look and leave with only
one word upon their lips-"Steel."
To the economist and the toiling
wage slave whose lives have been
spent in the smoky, murky, sweaty in
dustrial hell called Pittsburgh" an
entirely different word epitomizes the
economic foundation upon which the
stage of the romance of steel has been
erected. That word is "coal" To
many this may seem a distinction
without difference. Such is not the
case. In the difference between these
words lies the difference between COR
ganized labor" and the "open shop"
q difference so great that the politi-
cal reflex of this economic situation
marks the administration of the poll
tical institutions of Western Penn
sylvania as district separate and
apart from the rest Of the United
States. Here the dinetante and the
pseudo political economist come to
gasp and marvel at the amazing and
cruel abuse Of our great democratic
institutions" by ignorant tools of
Judge Gary and the charming Mr..
Mellon.
A serious investigation of the mon
strous brutalities of the courts, police
and state constabulary in Western
Pennsylvania will disclose the fact
that there is nothing strange about it
all. This treatment of the workers
is absolutely necessary to keep them
in that degree of subsection necessary
to a smoot and profitable and CAPT

guards continually patrol all the great
steel mills of the Pittsburgh district
and admission of visitors is next to
impossible as an acknowledgment of
the irrepressible class struggle be-
tween steel manufacturer and steel
worker. From that date began sys-
tematic and ceaseless campaign to
establish the "open shop" thruout this
district. Elaborate espionage systems
were permanently organized, thou
sands of stool pigeons employed and
corruption of labor leaders on a
grand scale became the customary
practice in the industrial life of Pitts
burgh. Today all this is considered
just as legitimate as banking the pro-
fits of the steel mills.
The Black Cloud of Union Miners.
DUT there was always the menace
- of a black cloud of unionism
threatening the plans of the steel

incident with the Homestead strike
H. c. Prick moved upon Fayette coun-
ty and destroyed the last vestige of
unionism among the Connellsville
coke miners who supplied the coke
necessary in the production of steel.
1t was not so easy, however, to de-
stroy the union in the immediate
vicinity of Pittsburgh. The miners
could not be herded together in one
factory group and the evolution of
coal mining was necessarily so slow
that the small operator often found it
a distinct advantage to have con-
tract with the union and thus keep
up competition with the larger oper-
ators who rapidly metamorphised in
to subsidiaries of all the big steel
companies, including the 'independ-
ents" and the Youngstown group.
Steel companies who did not at least
indirectly, own coal mines to feed
their furnaces were quite out of
style. Thus Prick and the leading
steel magnates most logically became
the bitter foes of the union miner.

industry known as a Continuous pro-

alternative to this would be the demo
cratic organization of the steel in

and administration OF the workers or
ganized into a great industrial union,
provided there was no hostile po-
litical institution to interfere with
the workers administration of the in
dustry. Hence it is pure sea-foam for
us to protest" against this greater
degree of oppression in the Pittsburgh
district as long as the economic cause
for oppression remains. The capital

profit off of the sweat and bones of
the steel workers if they are to re-

King Coal as a Factor.
THE Flying" of Pittsburgh as the
4 greatest steel center on this planet
was the result of the natural deposits
of a peculiarly suitable vein of coal
in this locality. Without this juxta-
position of coal adjacent to Pitts
burgh's industrial canal-the Monong-
ahela river, Pittsburgh would never
have become steel city nor grown to
any size whatever. Therefore the
key to Pittsburgh's labor problem
must be sought in the coal mining
industry of this district.
The beginning of mining along the
banks of the Mon" was so long ago
and so modest and at a time when
only pioneers and primitive men par
ticipated that a spirit of crude, pic
neer-front democracy grew up among
these coal miners which manifested
itself repeatedly in organization along
class lines. This had become a ira
dition around Pittsburg long before
the organization Of the U. s. Steel cor
poration. Large numbers of the
stronger miners naturally drifted into
the steel industry and became the
natural leaders of the workers in the
evolution of that industry. Their in
clination towards industrial independ-
ence manifested itself in the organ
ization of the Amalgamated Associat-
ed of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers.
This union met its Waterloo in the
almost successful rebellion Of the
homestead strike when for the first
time in American history workers
seized and defended by force of arms

NEW ORLEANS SEES
TRAFFIC LAW FAIL
Autos Reported Killing Chill

NEW ORLEANS, June 6.-With

the new flood of automotive tra1nc,
from three to five persons were seri-

was drawn, each embodying new
principle of control.
The latest, which went into erect
six weeks ago, put upon the motorist
the duty of being ready to stop at
any point if a pedestrian should raise
his hand; and upon pedestrians the
duty of obeying the traffic signals
Those who walked across the street
against the signals were arrested Tor

ROCKVILLE, Md. June 6-The
decision of Judge Robert B. Peter, in
Circuit Court, that 1t is not viola
tion of the Montgomery County local
option law to transport liquor through
the county, provided 1t is not intended
to be sold or delivered within the
county limits, will not, it was stated
here today, mean that the county will
become a favorite route for rum run
ners carrying liquor from Baltimore
and points North to Washington and
the South.
Since Judge Peter rendered his de-
cision, county authorities have been
considering ways of coping with the
situation and 1t is understood they
have about decided upon a plan.
Whenever an officer suspects a per-
son of hauling liquor he will be held
up, and, if his automobile or other
conveyance is found to contain con-
trabrand, will be arrested and held
for trial. The Federal authorities
will, in the meantime, be notified, and
are expected to be prepared to take
charge of the accused in the event
that the prisoner is able TO prove
that the liquor was intended for de-
livery without the limits of the
county.

Some Of the creameries which have

The reason which is advanced is that

This English peer, who recently came
into possession Of his Inheritance, Is
Francis Ormand Henry Eaton, D. s
O., who succeeds to the peerage as the
fourth Lord Cheylesmore.
Happy Valley Ranch.
AS Captain Eaton, he arrived In AL.
berta four years ago and acquired part
Of the Haunted Lakes ranch near Alix
Alberta, which he has since renamed
the Happy Valley ranch. A few weeks
ago he succeeded to the title, but the
now seasoned Alberta farmer has ex-
pressed his intention of continuing his
residence on the prairies, rather than
return to the old land. He was busy
all last month with the harvest on his
estate.
Lord Cheylesmore was born June 10,
1898, educated at Elton, Trinity col
lege and Cambridge university. He
was a second lieutenant when the war
broke out in 1914, having received a
military training at Sandhurst. He
Joined the Grenadier Guards with the
British ExpeditionaEy force in Flan-
ders and France in June, 1915, and
served with his regiment throughout
the war. He was awarded the D. S. O.
for conspicuous gallantry at the third
battle Of Ypres, in July, 1917, and was
also promoted, in the field to the rank
of captain. He always intended to
settle down in some part of the Brit
ish dominions and he selected western
Canada after years residence in Al
berta.
English Estate.
His English estate does not include
any landed property or country seat.
1t consists largely Of city real estate,
situated In London, and in such indus
trial sites as Coventry.
Lord Cheylesmore was a well known
rugby football player and track ath-
lete in his Elton and Cambridge days.
He Is devoted outdoor sportsman and
plays good game of polo. He says
he is not returning to England, but
will make his home on his beautiful
Alberta holdings. He belongs to the
Guards, Whites and Turf clubs in Lon
don.
Lord Cheylesmore's tragic death In
motor accident recently found his
son In the midst Of summers work.
His presence was not required in Lon
