BRITISH COAL
OWNERS Want
TO CUT WAGES
Would Lower Wages Be-
low 1914 Rates
BY LELAND OLDS.
lEaderated Pressl

That the British capitalist class has
been sparring for time in the face of
the coal crisis appears in an attempt
to short circuit the report of the coal
commission. While the public won
ders whether the long investigation
will produce plans for a fundamental
reorganization of the industry, Lord
Londonderry proposes that the operat-
ors and miners resume negotiations
in the class collaboration spirit exem-
plifed by Prime Minister Baldwin.
Londonderry owns extensive coal
lands and draws large royalties. His
proposal has been publicly endorsed
by Premier Baldwin. Apparently the
big capitalists behind the present gov
eminent realize that the commissions
report must be futile and fear labor's
solid front.
Bosses Demand Lower Wages.
The owners want negotiations re-
sumed on a district rather than ma
tional basis. Certain districts as a
result Of the long pressure of unem-
ployment are suspected ready to &C
cept terms rejected by the national
organization.
The employers demand lower wages
and longer hours. Londonderry tries
to disguise this by saying that de-
mand for lower piece rates need not
necessarily mean lower wages. What
he means is that the low rates will
speed up the miners into producing
more to secure bare subsistence for
their families.
The British Miners Federation has
table showing that the demands OF
the mine owners would mean earnings
below those of 1914 in five Of the ten
major coal districts. The average
earnings per day at present, those II
the mine owners proposals were put
into effect, and those in 1914 are as
follows:

TAMPA, Fla, March 1. - George

that arrested him and stole $62 from

AS Simmer was taking home a
friend of his, who had imbibed to
freely he was arrested along with his
friend. The officer Immediately frisk-
ed both and took $62 in cash from
Simmer, put it into his own pocket
and brought both of them to the police
station and had them locked up.
They were released the next morn
ing as the policeman had declared
that "he was too sick to appear" and
when they were released and asked
the desk sergeant for their valuables,
the money was nowhere to be found.
All attempts on the part of Simmer
to get the policeman have failed.

9 Organizations Number
Over 100000 Each

LONDON,-(By Mail)-Funds of the
British trade unions increased during
1923 by C 1,O0O,000, and totalled nearly
Ell, 100000. Membership, however,
declined during the year by 100000,
according to the report for the year
1924, published by the chief registrar
of friendly societies.
Since the end of 1920 membership
had fallen, by 100000. The total
membership, however, was 100000,
practically the same as at the end of
1917. The unds-911, 900, OO0-were
e2,OOO,O00 less than at the end of
1917. The amount expended in dispute
benefit was smaller than in any year
since the war.
At the end of 1923, 9 per cent Of the
members of registered trade unions
were women.
Nine unions, as compared with 16 in
1920, had each over 100000 members.
The largest was the National Union
of Railwaymen, with 1853, 230 members.
The other Unions in order of size were
the Transport and General Workers
Union 1907 .273); Amalgamated Engin-
eering Union (263,979); the National

OF the total income $4,000 was
set aside for political purposes. OF
this amount $1,000 was derived from
other organizations and e11,00O from
sources other than members contribu
tions.
The income receivable from the
ministry of labor for unemployment
allowances, which in 1920 amounted ia
100000, rose to e7,SOO,OOO in 1921
the highest point reached. In 1922 the
figures fell to e5,4O0,OOO, and in 1925
to e2,600,OOO; but the rate of diminu
ton, it is pointed out, is not true
index of the decrease of unemploy
ment amongst members of registered
trade unions, as some of the largest
unions had ceased to administer state
unemployment during the two later
years.

Revolutionary Change Needed"
Secretary Cook of the Miners Fed
Ieration predicts a crisis-the greatest
economic storm England has had to
face. He sees the mining industry as
the center of the crisis but says the
decision involves the whole question
whether Britain is to go forward or
into bankruptcy. Commenting on the
suggested district basis he says:
Let me repeat once more that
neither conferences nor goodwill will
change the present structure of the in
dustry. A revolutionary change is
needed, and until that change takeA

MOSCOW, u. S. s. R., March 1. -
The executive bureau of the Red In
ternational of Labor Unions sent the
following message of greetings to the
third conference of the Chinese Rail-
way workers in Tientsin:
"Since the commencement of the
working class movement in China, the
railwaymen have been it's chief and
foremost troops. In the periods of
reaction the chief blows of the mill
tarists and the international capital
lists standing behind them have al
ways been directed against the rail-
waymen.
"Your role in the struggle which is
approaching will be immense. The
victory Of the revolution in China is
unthinkable without the organization
Of all railway workers in a single CEN
tralized class struggle organization.
1.-THE Red international of Labor
Unions is convinced that you will use
the present moment for consolidate
ing and enlarging your organization.
That you will carry on energetic prop
uganda amongst the masses of the
railwaymen and organizational work.
Recently, not only we'll known yell

have attempted to make their way

latter is no less dangerous than that

work of your congress great success
in the name of the international pro
letariat and is convinced that you will
organize your union still better, that
you will draw your ranks still more

A. F. of L. Gets Ready
to Extend Policy of
Class Collaboration

GENEVA, March 1.-The American
Federation of Labor has QUILTED an
Office in the new building OF the In
ternational Labor Bureau here. This
bureau is a part Of the official activi-
ties of the league Of nations. Com
ment is to the effect that this marks
the beginning of a change in the in
ternational policy Of the organized la
Dor movement of America from its
policy of isolation to one of participa-
ton in the conservative international
labor groupings.
1t is expected that the American
body will in the near future affiliate
with the Amsterdam (yellow) fedora
ton OF trade unions. This step is ur-
gently desired by Oudegeest and other
reactionary leaders as a measure to
strengthen them In their struggle
against the alliances OF the powerful
British unions with the Russian labor
organizations.
It's Masters Voice.
II has been significant that the
American Federation OF Labor, under
both Gomper's leadership and that OF
HIS successor, Green, has followed the
attitude OF the American department
of state in its relations to Europe
This is, to European minds. perfectly
applicable by the fact that the A. F. of
L. pursues the policy Of class collab-
grafton TO the limit.
