U. S. Bank Head for scab Wage.
Chairman de Camps ultimatum is
published in the Clevelander, official
organ Of the Cleveland chamber of
commerce, one Of the most bitter anti
union organizations in the country.
Under the title, "Ohio-Dig Coal" de
Camp recalls with enthusiasm the
S2.98 scale the miners got before the
war and urges the adoption in Ohio
Of the wages now being paid in south
ern West Virginia.
De Camp and the federal reserve
board are now ranged side by side
with the interstate commerce COM
mission, the U. S. chamber Of COM
merce and various agencies, both
financial and governmental, which are
clamoring for the destruction of the
United Mine Workers as the last OBJ
stacle in the way OF completely non
union America.
A Serious Menace.
De Camps statement is no empty
pronunciamento, for his institution
controls the credit facilities of every
national bank in Ohio and can easily
compel them to deny advances to
union operators.
The key position of West Virginia
in the national miners union crisis
and the imperative necessity of in
shutting a more vigorous policy in
lighting non-unionism in that state
is evidenced by the bureau Of mines
final report for Ohio coal operations
in 1925.
Ohio Union Assassinated.
Due to the low labor costs of West
Virginia, unionized Ohio experienced
the worst coal year since 1909, when
production fell to 2S,0OOOOO tons last
year. In comparison with 1928, when
West Virginia was partially organ
lied, Ohio coal production has fallen
by one-third. The comparison with
1920 is even more startling, for in
that year Buckeye miners tossed
nearly twice as much coal into their
squat little mine cars as last year.

Ben Gftlow Hurls Defy at Albany

Smith claims credit for the emer-
gency rent legislation of 1924 and the
extension thru 1926. This is ridicu-
lous. It was the tremendous agitation
by tenants and labor which forced
Smith to call special session Of the
legislature to enact the laws.
Smith and his Legislature put thru
la bin taxing banks no longer accord
ing to capital, but according to IN
come This meant a big saving to
the banks, as 1t made all stock divi-
dends exempt.
During the last legislature the
knight resolution was passed. This
was done to defeat every measure in
tended to benefit labor sponsored by
the State Federation Of Labor. A
commission was created and an ap-
preparation passed to investigate all
labor bills introduced. 1t is generally
admitted that this was done solely
so the legislature could dodge consid-
Grafton of needed amendments to the
state labor law and workers compen-
sation law. In this way the charge Of
violating state party platform pledges
was sidestepped. The resolution, be-
sides being an attempt to wipe out
what small benefits have already been
gained, also serves to throw monkey
wrench into the coming legislature
and stall off action on pending bills.
The obvious intention of the Knight
resolution is to give labor a setback.
Defeated Labor Bills.
But look at the labor bills that
were defeated in the last legislature.
The creation Of an exclusive state in
surance fund to provide all workmen's
compensation insurance at cost was
prevented. The bill to include all dis
abling occupational diseases as com
pensable under the law was defeated.
The attempt to increase the maximum
Of possible weekly compensation pay
ments from $40 to $25 was lost. Other
bills that were defeated provided for:
compensation for loss of parts of leg
and arm not now provided for: extern
sion from 30 to 80 days Of the time
within which worker may file notice
of injury; prohibition of court injunc-
tions in industrial disputes; payment
of the union wage scale on all public
works.
mo action at all was taken on the
bill in regard to the child labor amend
ment, altho both the republican and
democratic state platforms contained
planks pledging ratification"
Cites Contradiction.
Gitlow was very much amused by
the report that ]: B. O'Hanlon of the
New York State Federation of Labor
had introduced a resolution before the
American Federation convention at
Detroit favoring the nomination of
Smith as candidate for president Git
low pointed out that O'Hanlon, as
chairman of the legislative committee,
had signed a report to the State Fed
Grafton Of Labor in which it was point
ed out that bills advocated by the
federation had been vetoed by Gov
ernor Smith and which lists the fail
ure Of the last legislature to pass ia
vorable labor laws. The report tells
OF Governor Smiths vetoing the Ricca
teachers salary increase bill. The re,
port also calls attention to the fact
that Of all the labor bills suggested
by the state federation to the gov
ernor only one was enacted.

Experts for the department Of agri-

is estimated at about zoe a pound.
Rep. Peu of North Carolina has asked
Pres. Coolidge to call congress in spe-

declaring that the farmers will lose
from $40 to $25 per bale on their crop.
Coolidge declines.

Smith Is Labor Foe.
"But Smiths pretensions Of labor
friendship, on being examined, prove
him to be really foe" the Workers
Party candidate went on. Smith has
always stood for arbitration in dis
putes between the workers and the
employers. He has always favored
the exertion Of pressure to prevent
strikes. And what does this mean
from the workers standpoint. 1t
means really the loss of all the de-
mands of the workers. Look at what
happened when Governor Smith named
the commission on the garment indus
try. r. V. Ingersoll was appointed
impartial chairman. But he himself
is a manufacturer. What happened
to the union demands? All important
ones, such as the 4O-hour week, limi-
tation Of the number OF sub-manufac-
turers to each jobber, were rejected
Remember the Ricca bill to in
crease the teachers salaries. Smith
wasn't satisfied to veto this bill once.
He killed it twice. First he gave as
his excuse that the city should pass
on it first. It fell. Then it came back
from the city and he vetoed it again on
the grounds that the legislature had
passed no appropriation bill for it.
But the governor did not veto the bill
to create for Ettinger the position of
superintendent emeritus at salary
Of $4,000 year"

Labor certainly cannot back up
Smith on his military record. He pro-
poses that the head of the state con-

SHOW CHRISTMAS
GOODS TOMORROW
Merchants Plan to Display
Yuletide Wares Week
Earlier This Year.

Washington merchants will put
their complete line of Christmas goods
on display beginning tomorrow. This
action, which lengthens the Yuletide
shopping season here at least a week
was decided upon Yesterday at a spe-
cial meeting of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association. which
voted unanimously to offer these
wares for sale Immediately after
Thanksgiving.
Until this year il has been custom
airy for the merchants to withhold
their Christmas goods until early in
December. at least. An analysis of
shopping records in a number of large
cities last year. however disclosed
that the shop early" campaign had
developed definite tendency on the
part of shoppers to begin their pur-
chases very early.
The MerCha ntS and Manufacturers
Association attributes this change in
buying habits to the energetic cam
paign in behalf of early Christmas
shopping The movement was started
primarily in behalf of women en-
ployed in retail stores. who. under the
old system. were subjected To a tre
mendous fatigue strain during the
hectic ChristmaS-Week stampede. The
movement however. developed later
impetus from the fact that holiday
shoppers found that by making their
selections ahead of the rush they
could secure far better choice of
gifts. and could shop much more
comfortably.
Washington merchants. this year,
will be prepared to accommodate this
new public dena nd" Mr.. W. d. Shaw,
secretary of the association said,
Instead of making the opening of
Christmas displays in December this
year, the complete holiday mer-
chandise stocks will be offered the day
after THANKSGIVING day. So many
people are realizing the advantage of
making their holiday purchases in adj
vance of the usual rush that II was
decided this year TO give them every
opportunity here in Washington.
From a merchandise standpoint,
this matter can he easily regulated.
Special holidays goods. designed to
meet the universal demand for Christ
mas gifts. are purchased by the mer-
chants months in advance of the
Christmas season. Much of this mer-
chandise was contracted for as early
as last February. and great portion
of it was delivered to the stores here
during the early Fall.
