RAISES MINERS
WAGES TO keep
SCABS WORKING
Coal Demand Forces
Concession
BY GEORGE PAPcUN.
(Worker correspondentl

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 31.--The Pitts
burgh Coal Co., after breaking the
agreement with the coal miners in
District 5 an( using every means in
trying to starve and terrorize the coal
miners into going back on the 1917
scale, has now announced a raise in
wages, in some cases even above the
Jacksonville agreement. The notice
says that the raise is only temporary
as 1t seems that the price of coal on
the market has risen and that as soon
as 1t will go down the wages will be
adjusted accordingly. 1a 1eai
To Keep seahs. ~
Tho this is what the coal company
is telling the men, it is not the real
reason behind the raising of wages.
A lot of miners we're actually starved
into working on the 1917 scale, but
because of the British strike the de-
mand for coal from across, tho it is
temporary, has opened UP lot of in
dependent mines in the district. With
the opening of these mines the Pitts
burgh Coal Co. is losing even what
scabs it did get to work for it. So,
in trying to stop the scabs from drift
ing away and leaving it fiat, it has
now announced the increase in wages.
Unions Choice.
II the district officials at this time
would pursue fighting policy of mass
picketing the Pittsburgh Coal Co.
would be sure to give in to the union
in a very short time, and this is the
only way that the district Of the q.
M. w. A. can put the union on the Of

This will aid them in the work that
Is planned.
The main purpose Of this class Is to
train the workers to write. And for
that reason, practics1 experience will
be given the members The class will
be conducted on a question and an
swer basis. Everyone will take part
in the discussion. 1t is felt that more
will be gained from the class in this
way, than If lectures alone are given.
Examples of work done by worker
correspondents will be criticized in
the class as a means of emphasizing
good points and bad points in writ
ing.
No Homework.
There will be no home work for the
members to do. so that those who
would be unable to find time to do
any work outside the class will not
lose out in any Of the work.
The class will meet every Friday
night. Keep that date open!

ON GOOD FIGHT
Police Recruit Scabs and
Abuse Pickets
BY ROLAND A. GIBSON.
(Worker Correspondentl

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 31.-The
strike Of the paper box workers is
now in its fourth week. The union
is holding enthusiastic mass meet
ings every afternoon in the Church Of
All Nations, Second avenue, ami
the workers are picketing the shops
daily.
The picketsa are meeting greater
opposition from the police than at any
time since the strike began. Monday
two pickets were brutally assaulted
while they we're peacefully picketing
When they were taken to court and
testified that they had been molested
by the police, the judge added insult
to injury by filming each Of them So.
Police Help Bosses.
One of them, Morris Wray, charges
that one officer spit in his face and
called him names while he was being
detained in the Mercer st. police sta
ton. The officers who attacked and
arrested them have made a large
number of similar arrests since the
strike began.
The police are also recruiting work
ers for the employers. The secretary
of the union has observed cops on
Wooster street asking workers if they
wanted jobs.
Fail TO Get Negroes to seab.
The employers are endeavoring to
bring in colored scabs to break the
strike. A scab agency at 799 Broad
way is handling this work for them
This agency has advertised in the pa

that if the strike is broken their
wages will be forced down far below
what their fellow-workers will get if
the union wins.
Very few of these scabs work long,
however. When informed that there
is a strike on and that the union
does not discriminate against Ne
groes, most of them are willing to
quit and look for work elsewhere.
Frank Crosswaithe, special organizer
for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, addressed the strikers on this
matter at Wednesdays mass meet

INJUNCTION TO
FORE IN OPEN
SHOP CAMP AIGN
Cleveland Unions in a
Serious Situation
ev q Worker corresnondsn,

CLEVELAND, Oct. 31.--Another
step in the fight of the open shoppers
against the building trades OF this city
was taken when non-union painters
and GLACIERS filed a petition for an in
junction restraining the union men
from interfering with the scabs in full
filing their agreement with the con-
tractors.
Last week, the contractors sought
an injunction preventing the union
leaders from calling the men of the
job. Cited for contempt, the leaders
declared that they had not ordered
the men off the job and therefore
could not order them back. These
cases are pending and will be heard
before the court of appeals. It af-
fects the building work on the Ohio
Bell Telephone building, on which
600 men are working.
import Judges.
Three judges have been brought in
to the city from out of town. The
petition of the scab painters and gla-
ziers will be heard by Judge Weston
hayer of the federal court the per-
sons cited being the president of the
Cleveland Federation of Labor and
the officials of thirteen building trades
locals.
Things have not stopped there.
Men working on the old First National
Bank building also went out on strike
because two non-union painters were
working on the job. At first the police
allowed a large number of pickets,
but finally they decided that no more
than three would be tolerated. Detec.
tives and police squads are guarding
the place.
Serious Situation.
This is a serious situation for the
building trades. Little by little the
open shoppers, the chamber of COM
merce and the citizens league are
cutting the foundation from under the
unions. The unions, pretending to
have unusual strength, are allowing
this process to continue, evidently
trusting to the courts to vindicate
them.
The situation is very threatening.
The open shoppers are clearly Rrepar-
ing for the fight in spring. and are do
ing everything in their power both
legal and extra-legal, to break down
the unions The unions, on the other
hand, continue in their disorganized
condition. The two building trades
councils still hold sway.
The first step, therefore, is for the
rank and file not to let any obstacle
remain in the way Of merging the two
councils. Neither persons nor things
should be permitted to keep the work
ers in the two councils apart. There
must be unity or the workers will face
the fight against the bosses divided.
The fight will be sharp, for the
Cleveland open shoppers are deter
mined TO follow the way OF the De
troiters, and obtain and maintain the
open shop.

Some OF the candidates endorsed are

verge Of starvation, paying miser-
able wage of from Sc to $15 a week
Drivers are hired on the basis OF

low that in order to make living,

TO a manager, always expect some-
thing for nothing, and at the end you
will find that the poor driver is gen
orally the one to take the conse-

cent raise to which every driver is
entitled to after working 3 months,
It will first cost you lot of extra
work for some punk who was hired
to watch over you, or almost your

Loyalty and Hard Work.
The main slogan of the company
is hard work and loyalty. If you ex-
pect any promotion or increase in
wages, which very seldom occurs, you
must be loyal and a hard worker.
At every one of the so-calIed
drivers meetings" you will see all
the fat boys delivering nice slick
speeches on how the company treats
its employees and how it expects to
treat them and so on, but never a
word is mentioned as to how and
where a driver will eat tomorrow, and
for what. And never a word about
an increase in wages OF how the con
ditions of the drivers would be i'm
proved. AS a matter of fact, the driv-
ers have no say at all turnout the
whole meeting. They just sit there
and listen to the slick speeches where
one would think that the drivers are
making a fortune working for the
company.
