illinois and Indiana coal dieoers who
showed the world what it means to
answer a strike call 100 per cent in
1922 have been worn down by what
is virtually three-year lockout. The
punishment by big business Of labor
solidarity has meant loss of jobs to
about half Of these miners, while the
remaining thousands got only two,

effect Of this practical boycott OF union

old, the leading authority on coal In
the west, as the greatest mine shut
down in Illinois history.
When the United Mine Workers
called the strike in 1922 there were
about 100000 union miners employed
in Illinois and 10000 in Indiana. Their
production was about 100000 tons
a month. The strike was reflected in
a drop in the production of these two
states to a monthly average OF $4,000 |
tons. A few strip mines turned out
this insignificant scab tonnage.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. Silk short
weeks ago the Ford Motor company
broadcasted Its decision to make per
manent the 5-day week inauaurated,
il alleged, as an experiment early IN
the summer. The language In which
the announcement was couehed tend
ed to convey the impression that the
workers would receive 6-days' pay for
5-days' work. II was q hoaxl
The uninitiated employers had hard
.ly time to recover their temper, the
world barely had time to bate its
breath from the shock of what seem
ed to be the most far-reaching bene-
violent concession voluntarily grant
ed by employer to employe, and the
workers themselves were as yet un-
able to make up their minds about
the announced plan when 1t was turn
ed into a grim joke to them.
. Lay-offs Begin.
Four weeks ago on Friday the more
than one hundred thousand workers OF
the Ford plants were sent home after
four and half days work. This was
repeated the following week. Last
week virtually all the workers were
sent home on Tuesday, after two
days work. and the same happened
this week. No one knows how many
days the workers will work next week
and later. There are many rumOrs
afioat which cannot be verified as yet
about the plants closing next week
until after New Years. But this is
certain, that thousands OF men are
being laid OFF indefinitely, and reports
are current that not only machine
hands but also foTemen and even su-
perintendents who were drawing up
to ten thousand dollars a year and
more have felt the ak

Hard Times Expected.
The specter of hard times is abroad
in the city of Detroit. On all sides
one hears complaints of the present
and prophecy of worse to come. The
reduced income of a hundred thou
sand wage earners of the Ford in
dustries is enough to be reflected in
the commercial life of the city But
there are more wage esrners whose
income is reduced or stopped entire
ly. Most of the automobile factories
are laying of men. Others are work

are shutting down for several weeks.

The labor movement in England is

The broad masses of the workers are

Workers Union, supported by the

to Morris Siqnan, president Of the In

Union who has launched a campaign
to discredit the strike leadership and
settle with the employers on the lat

Sigman Encourages Bosses.
A well staged and thug-protected
meeting of right wingers in Cooper
Union on Wednesday had been adj

strike of the cloakmakers was lost

Charles Zimmerman and Joseph

AS test of the confidence that the
mass of the members of the Cloak

committee declared it was willing to
submit the matter of leadership to a
referendum vote of the membership
to be supervised by the labor move

the membership still under the In
