Soldiers Are Idle

After the arrival of the soldiers at
Evansville they have had nothing to
do, and most Of the boys have spent
their time playing kelly pool. Officials
of District II have continued their
efforts to obtain an honorable settle
ment from the operators and there
has been no breach of the peace. De-
spite the presence of soldiers there
are fewer non-union miners at work
than at any time since the union start
ed it's campaign. Meanwhile, the tax
payers, who are footing the bill for
the expense of the soldiers, gnash
their teeth and cuss. The big ques-
ton is: Who asked for the soldiers =?
Big Meeting Held
Members of the United Mine Work
ers held big mass meeting at Boon
vile, in the heart of the affected
strike region, February 2S. T. N
Taylor, president of the Indiana Fed
Grafton of Labor, spoke and scored
Governor Ed Jackson, of Indiana, for
sending troops into the field. ''It is
my opinion" Taylor said, that any
governor who sends soldiers into a
peaceful community without being
asked either by civil or county police
authorities is taking big job on his
hands. 1t is no function of state
to take sides in a labor controversy"

Hoosiers Laugh as Militia
Is Sent to Quell 'Riots" in
Peaceful Mining Communities

BY International Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind.-There has been
considerable quiet laughter and ridi-
cule of somebody" who succeeded in
having several companies of Indiana
National Guardsmen, including a
chemical warfare contingent and an
airplane squardon sent to southern
Indiana coal fields where mine "riots"
were reported in progress or about to
break out"
A group of mines, about ten, in
counties bordering the Ohio river,
have been trying to operate on the
1917 wage scale or less. Some of
these mines were represented in the
Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators
Association, and as such had signed
the Jacksonville wage agreement. A
few months ago these mine owners
welched on their word and repudiated
the contract they had signed with the
United Mine Workers. Of course,
their mines remained idle These
welching operators were joined by the
small producers in the same region
who did not belong to the association.
Strikebreakers Imported
Strikebreakers were gradually in
troduced into the mines, until the Off
cials of District II took hand and
decided to have the old contract re-
instated. Huge union meetings of an
educational nature were held in sew
eral parts of Warrick county, where
most of the mines are situated, and
in Evansville.
operators agree to settlement, but
without avail Walter Korff, a mem
ber of the state legislature and the
prize union-buster of the Pocket"
country, refused to treat with the
union. Since that time the union has
virtually closed down the mines and
fewer than so miners all told were
working. Some one, identity un-
known, succeeded in convincing Gov
ernor Jackson that there was immi-
nent danger of rioting and other vio-
lence in these mine fields and the sol
diers were ordered out No form of
violence has ever been reported at
any time except fist fight between
two men in which one was painfully
stabbed, following drinking bout

President Frey, of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, declared the
Ohio law has reduced the number of
industrial casualties, owing to the
provision by which industries hav-
ing fewer accidents pay a smaller
premium to the state fund than those
that have many accidents"
Massachusetts labor leaders testi-
fled that sentiment in favor of the es-
tablishment of an exclusive state fund
for the protection of those engaged in
industrial pursuits is now unanimous
among the workers.

'The implication that the Rookie
feller plan saves employees and oper-
ators losses of great conflicts is a
sophistry that ought to be answered
every time it is made" said the la
Dor paper.
''Under the Rockefeller plan the
coal miners of Colorado are at the
mercy of the company. While the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company was
raising the price of coal $1.25 ton

the miners pay about 35 per cent.
The Rocky Mountain News and the
Denver Post printed the story that
the miners wanted wage cut
Here is what happened: The c..
F. & |. closed down certain mines.
After the men had been partially
straved into submission they were
offered a chance to sign petition
asking a wage cut. And as Vice
President Lichty, of the C. F. & l.,
told the editor of this paper, if they
didn't sign the petition, their wages
were not cut--the mines were closed

FARM PROFITS DECLINE

New York.-The farmers return is
dwindling and his margin of profit is
so small that he is constantly i'm
periled, says the National Industrial
Conference Board in it's survey of the
agricultural situation.
Production is tagging and the
amount of farm land acreage per in
habitant is constantly lowering. Six
ty per cent of the farmers income
depends on world conditions which
are out Of his control, it is said.

The comparison holds wherever
state service to the community in
compensation is contrasted with priv
ate enterprise whose sole concern in
profit, it was pointed out.
The next few weeks will decide the
favor of the labor bills at Albany.

WOODLOCK IS ON
GRILL AGAIN

Thomas f. Woodlock. Of New
York, nominated by President Cool
idge for the Interstate Commerce
Commission, went under fire
again today before the Senate Inter.
state Commerce Committee for
alleged attacks on railroad en-
ployes.
woodlock was questioned by SEN
ator Wheeler D.l, OF Montana,
about his articles written for mag
azines and New York newspapers
In one newspaper article, Wood
lock attacked the Adamson law.
He told the committee however that
he was mistaken in his view. hay.
ing probably confused the Adam.
son law with the railroad re-
classification act,
'T referred" he said ito the so
called feather bed practices In
working rules. These restrictive
rules. forced upon the railroads by
the employees. Of course, We're a
just and proper retaliation TOR
managerial abuses"
Another article by Woodlock,
which drew Wheeler's fire, included
this statement: There 10 an ir.
repressible conflict between workers
and those whom the workers re.
gard as wealthy"
Under the law the President must
appoint a Democrat and although
WoodIock formerly was Demo
crat, he registered as a Repub-
lican and voted for Coolidge In 1924.
Wheeler also questioned Wood
lock about q statement he made
that 1.-The railroads are not getting
a fair, much less a liberal treat
ment."
do you still feel that way?''
asked Wheeler.
81 certainly do" retorLed Wood
lock, because the railroads are not
getting the treatment ths law ac.
corded them"
Woodlock repeated his opposition
to placing valuations upon the
railroads at this time"
