NAIL OPEN SHOP
COAL OPERATORS
HIGH WAGE TALK
Low Wages are Paid in
Non-Union Field
ny a Worker correspondent.

GRAFTON, w. Va, April 23.-You
often hear the tale that you can make
more money under the open-shop than
in the union mines. The bosses like
to spread this propaganda in an eff
fort to keep the miners from Joining
the union.
The nonunion mines pay but 40 to
IS cents a ton for coal mined-about
"a to $4.62 day. Union mines in other
districts are paying SO to 81 cents a
ton or $7.26 day. This is a differ
ence of 20 to 25 cents ton or 1884
to So day.
High Wages lie Bunk.
All talk Of the higher wages in the
nonunion mines comes from the
bosses and company suckers. All one
has to do to be convinced Of the low
wages in the nonunion mines is to
go to work in one of the nonunion
camps. Those with families are lucky
If they can make enuf to pay the store
bill.
The coal operators kick when the
unions ask for the check-of. They
certainly have it in the nonunion
mines here. They check-off at the Of
fee for the rent, store and doctor.
They say they only work eight
hours day but miners here work ten
to twelve hours and sometimes as
many as "a hours in one day. Work
ing these hours the miners are still
unable to keep square with the COM
pany.

bull line Grew
Gets Low WAGE
FOR HARD WORK
Captain Treats Sailors
Like Dogs
BY NEPTUNE,
worker correspondsnt)

worker Correspondent
Twas the good ship Beatrice
That rode the raging sea
With crew Of broken backs
And as hungry as can be.
I shipped away on the Beatrice"
bound for Miami, Fla, as a wiper.
Grub? Fit for pigs. Straw mattresses
and pillows. Thin cotton blankets
If you are not a lAndlubber, you know
the reputation that the Bull Line has
in the seafaringa world. Plenty of
work, but little pay. The United
States shipping board pays wipers a
measly $3.50 month, but the Bull
Line pays but $50.
Hall Of Crew Quits.
Well, finally we landed in Miami.
About half the crew quit then and
there. According to the seamen's act
a sailor may, on demand, draw half his
wages when he reaches port and while
in port receive half every week Of
what remains. The captain refused to
pay them. They went to the shipping
commissioner, who told them to re-
turn the following day while he IN
vestigated. l saw the investigation.
He walked up the gangplank into the
captains cabin. A half hour later he
walked out putting his pocketbook into
his pocket. The men did not get paid.
Some suspicious souls said the COM
missioner had been bribed. But that
is surely ridiculous. Why, who could
bribe commissioner?
Make Demands on Steward.
While finally conditions became so
unbearable that it was decided to go
up to the steward as a group while we
were still in Miami. We got the deck
hands, firemen and wipers and, 16
strong, we presented these demands:
Soap, towels, dessert plates 1--WE were
eating our dessert out Of the same
dishes as the soup, If one could fiatter
the creased, tasteless, lukewarm water
by the magnificent name-soup), jam,
butter, no margarine, midnight lunch
(the 8-12 watch would have to turn in
hungry, not having eaten since 4
o'clock and the 12-4 watch would have
to turn in hungry, also), clean sheets
and new blankets. Our demands were
all granted The captain was afraid
the ship would be left without crew.
Lose All Their Gains.
Finally our bow was turned north.
Just as soon as we left the dock you
ought to have seen all our gains van
ish. The last few days before getting
to Baltimore we did not get piece of
soap. Towels were taken away dirty.
They were never returned. The jam
jar disappeared. We got our marga-
rine back. The plates disappeared.
The midnight watches turned in hun
CRY.
One day one of the sailors got so
hungry that he went into the galley
and took some marmalade he found
there. For this he was logged
(docked) a weeks pay.
Never AgaInI
Finally the trip came to an end.
With thanksgiving to whatever gods
there be on the lips of the crew, like
Columbus of old we landed. Many
swore never to ship on the Bull Line
vessels again.

CHAIN STORES
INCREASE In
KANSAS CITY
Small Merchants Are
Squeezed Out

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April %. =
chain stores were few. OF late the
chain stores are strangling the small
merchants. At present one out of
every ten grocery stories in Kansas
City are chain stores. Whyco leads
with AZ. Piggy Wiggly has 33. Lesser
groups constitute the others. The
druggists of the city have combined
in local organization in bitter opposi-
ton to the leading uptown cut-rate
store, the Katz Drug company, that
has two large stores. Every Monday
they have sale followed by one on
Thursday with page ads in the local
papers with prices that are running
the neighborhood stores to the wall.
The Crown Drug company has re-
Gently established IA chain stores.
Chain Stores Increase.
One out of every automobile
service stations are chain stores. The
Standard and Monarch control one out
of six. Standard leads with 35.
Monarch Gasoline and oil company
has "a, Manhattan Oil company IA,
National Refinery has Is. The Stand
ard have their refinery here and the
independents are forced to buy from
the trust which IN reality controls
all. In the hardware business the
Anchor stores have 9. Troy Cleaners
have 10 establishments and the A. B.
G. Cleaners have IL. The Consumers
Meat Markets have recently establish
ed chain of z stores. In the restau-
rant business, 5 firms control 20 chain
restaurants.
The chain stores are making It diff
ficult for their competitors who can
not buy such quantities and as cheap.
The comments made by the small
merchants who are hit by local chain
stores are: "Times are not what they
used to be-"
Recent arrivals of national concerns
and national chain stores are: Win
chester Arms Co., Sears Roebuck Co.,
Foreman and Clark, Wormser,
Clemens. All of the national con-
Germs and chain stores have establish
ments in greater Kansas City. The
packing industry, mail order houses,
clothing firms, rubber companies, Ford
Motor company, electric concerns and
drug companies realize the importance
of Kansas City as distribution CEN
ter. More firms are coming in.
Producers of motion pictures are
buying up local theaters. Last week
the Universal bought two more.
Mergers and Consultations.
This year Kansas City has had a
few mergers. Consultations have
taken place between cement COM
panies, oil companies, railroads, and
milling companies. The large indie
pendent corporations are consolidate
ing. All of these combinations are
Tightening the death grip on the small
merchants. The expropriating of the
petit bourgeois is proceeding-not too
fast to overturn the boat-but fast
enough to swell the ranks of rebels
against the rule of the exploiters.
