Steel Firm Nets Big
Profits After Paying
Miners Union Scale

NEW YORK. (FP).--Paying the
United Mine Workers scale to sew
eral thousand employees in its coal
miens has not prevented Jones &
Laughlin Stel Corp, from making
high profits. Its 1925 profits rose
to $15,149,094 from $9,954,49i in
1925, says the annual report. And
It's 1926 common stock dividends climb
ed to $19.46 a share as compared to
5000 in 1925.
During the same period Bethlehem
Stel repudiated the Jacksonville wage
agreement and reduced its miners
pay 80 per cent on the pretext that
it could not operate its coal properties
profitably at the union figure.
Jones & Lauehlin coal is mined by
the Vesta Coal Co., one Of the three
big concerns continuing to deal with
the U. M. w. of A. in the Pittsburgh
field. 1t does not recognize organized

Gold, Strikeleader, Calls
For a Showdown

1t is a great satisfaction to know
that there is in the United States at
least one daily newspaper in the Eng
lish language that has its columns
open for real labor news and that
champions the cause of the workers
in their daily struggles with the en-
ployers for a decent livelihood.
The enemies of the working class
are powerful. Their strength lies in
the control Of the means Of produc-
ton which they maintain through
their control of the governmental
agencies, and control Of the schools,
colleges and press. They thus enslave
the workers not only economically
but also mentally.
But the workers revolt against
their enslavement is growing, and
cannot be stopped by the direct
agencies of the capitalist class. The
rnling class therefore resorts to the
control of the workers organizations
trade unions; the ruling class seeks
to control trade union leaders. To a
great extent the employers have sue
ceeded in this direction. The present
situation in the needle trade unions
demonstrates how so-called trade
union leaders worked hand-in-hand
with the employers. The betrayal Of
the Sigmans, Beckermans, and
Schachtmans, and the blessing on
this betrayal by the A. f. of l.. of
ficials show to what extent the bos-
ses have succeeded in using labor
leaders in their efforts to destroy the
only economic weapon of the work.
ers, the trade unions.
We must unmask such leaders, and
throw the light Of day upon their
treachery. No daily newspaper in
the English language, other than the
Daily Worker" can serve the work.
ers in their struggles with the bosses
md in their efforts to rid their

bosses. No other newspaper can help
them build their unions and their
power.
therefore greet the first New

Militant New York workers are for

are more butchers out of work than
since 1922. The state figures for fac
tory employment show a drop of la
per cent between November and De-
cember.
"Short covering and speculative
buying, stimulated by cheerful steel
earnings report and the equally en-
couraging reports from other
branches of American industry,
brought about a good recovery in
stock prices" says the last market re-
port from the New York exchange.
The optimism Of which sits very
well with the coupon clippers but
which cannot be shared by the un-
questionably large lay-offs in the
steel mills at Gary and South Chi
cago, a compliment of a general re-
cession of production in most
branches of industry in this city.

Workers Badly Paid
But Getting Increase

How the motor bus men of Brussels
looks a sudden vacation and drove
their buses in big parade for higher
wages is told in an interesting report
received by the Federated Press from
the International Transport Workers
Federation, with headquarters in Am
sterdam.
Responding to an appeal from the
union the bus men motored their
heavy vehicles to the Grande Place,
big square in Brussels, and queued
up the house of the governor of the
province of Brabant. A deputation
presented the demands to the gov
ernor and he was so impressed that
he said he would order the bus COM
pany to comply with the demands.
Wage increases of 10 and IL francs
were asked, over the "a, 26 and 27
francs now paid the conductors and
motor drivers.
Berlin Chauffeurs Win.
Berlin taxi drivers-7,000 of them
have won their first collective wage
agreement, with wage gains of APP
proximately % per cent. Two marks
a day are guaranteed, with 20 per
cent of takings and time allowances
for repair work in garages. Two
thousand other drivers, employed by
the big companies, are not included,
but the German Traffic Union is
working at that problem.
German Sea Wages Up.
German seamen gain wage in
creases of 4 to rs per cent in new
agreement negotiated by the seamen's
section of the German Traffic Union.
Able seamen get 100 marks a month
and marine firemen liz marks, with
two marks allowance for food. The
union embraces all divisions of sea-
men, from ordinary seamen to deck
officers and from greasers to en-
gineers.
Belgian Watermen Also.
Belgian inland waterway workers
win 10 francs a month average, or
something less than 10 per cent, but
a further increase Of 500 francs would
be necessary to bring the purchasing
power of their wages up to the 1923
level.
