ply to merchants. Is it more profit
able to have customer earning $3.50
a day or $3.50 a day? Which class
would be the more desirable to the
merchant? This isn't the question
only when strife occurs in the mines,
but the same holds good when it arises
in the mills, factories, shops, ETC.,

Union workers are better paid the
world over. 1t is only few places
where non-union men can command
the wages paid by union employers
There are employers who offer high
wages for non-union labor, but with
few exceptions they are offered with
the ultimate object in the mind OF
destroying the union and substituting
the So-called American plan.
Then watch wages fall. And witt
the decrease of wages, the merchant
is going to be financially bumped.
Another point to take note before
condemning the miners is this: Ash

FALLING ROOF KILLS
MANY MINERS

Washington n.-More than 1,200 coal
metal miners are annually killed by
falling roofs and this constitutes one
of the biggest problems in the mining
industry of this country, says the
United States bureau of mines.
The solution of this problem "is
very largely matter of enlisting the
hearty and active cooperation of both
the mine operator and the mine en-
ploye," the bureau says.
Organized mine workers suggest
that the best check to fatalities would
be props under these roofs. This is
not done, as timbering costs money.
When it is placed in the mines it is
rarely removed because of expense
To save money the coal owner takes
chances-as do the mine workers.

VICTORY FOR PEOPLE IN
LIGHT PEANT SUIT

The state supreme court Wednesday
refused to allow to come before it the
appeal of taxpayers" of Hamilton
to prevent the city's officials awarding
contracts for extending, enlarging,
improving and repairing Hamilton's
electric plant, thus sustaining the
lower courts decisions in the contro-
versy. And so ends a seven years
battle to secure their rights on the
part of the people against private in
terests.
The battle might be summed up as a
four round affair, The first was when
the people, way back in 1920, voted
bonds to improve the plant. Then
there were the rounds in the various
courts, common pleas, appellate and
supreme, in all of which the people
won easily. Then of course there
was the little skirmishes in the pre-
vious city council, which with its czar
ruler did everything to impede and
delay furthering the plant improve
ment. In fact every move, since the
bonds were voted, to block enlarge
ment of the plant, including the tax
payers" suit, on the part of the oppo-
sition, was made solely with the idea
of delay in mind. They knew that it
was only a matter of time when the
people would get their rights. The
people seem to have a hard battle of
it each time they go after what is
coming to them, but eventually they
win when they stick. And no doubt
some people are thoroughly convinced
by this time that the Hamilton peo-
pie are pretty good "stickers"
We can now proceed with enlarging
our electric plant and continue enjoy
ing 7-cent current while neighboring
cities pay 10 cents. This, as result
of our stick-to-it-iveness and a de-
termination to stay in the electric
business on our own, despite the often
offered advice from well meaning, per
haps, but misguided neighbors, that
we sell out. No doubt some people
will understand what the Press is real
ly talking about without saying any,
thing more.

THE SACCO-vANZETTI CASE

The A. F. of L. stands on principle
when it asks for judicial or executive
relief for Sacco and Vanzetti.
The condemned men believe in a
social theory that is stunned by organ
lied labor, but this is not the issue.
Neither is their innocence or guilt un-
der discussion. The issue is whether
Sacco and Vanzetti had fair trial.
That is what Governor Fuller and
his commission are called upon to de-
termine. AS the time of decision
draws near attempts may be made
to throw the case into confusion by
the injection of other issues. There
is but one issue-did these men have
fair trial? There is at present no
other issue and there can be none
until that is settled fairly and justly
The Massachusetts law provides
that the trial Judge shall pass or
pleas for new trial. In other states
appellate courts review such appeals
Affidavits charge Judge Thayer, the
trial Judge, with expressing opinions
hostile to the accused during and after
the trial He refused to grant a new
trial, and the state supreme court
rules that he is acting under the law
AS the case now stands two men
under sentence of death claim they
have not had fair trial and that a
biased Judge refuses to order new
trial because they are radicals.
Organized labor insists that the
fundamentals of law should be rigiGly
applied in every case, regardless of
the political or social views of the
condemned.

TURNOVER
In Factory Slowing Down,
Report Shows
BY RALPH F. COUCH

Washington, D. C.-The turnover in
factory labor is slowing down
throughout the United States, ac-
cording to data received by the
United States department Of COM
merce.
Reduction of labor turnover is one
of the problems on which industrial
engineers and large employers are
working hardest. Slowing down of
the turnover means curtailment of
waste Factors in the turnover rate
are voluntary quits by workers, dis
charges, layoffs, deaths and acci-
dents. Of these, the chief factor is
represented by voluntary quits.
The rate of such quits thus far this
year is reported as about n per cent
Last year it was 35 per cent and was
preceded by rs per cent in 1923 and
100 per cent in 1920.
From these data, it is clear that
voluntary quits occur most frequently
in years of unusual industrial actlv-
|ity. The years 1920 and 1923 were
marked especially by large output
of manufactured goods.
Some big industrial concerns are
making a continuous study of the con
ditions under which their employees
work and their reasons for leaving
the company employ. This is done
with the hope of encouraging mer
whose work is satisfactory to remair
on the pay roll.

BEN LINDSEY LOSES

Washington.-Ben 3. Lindsey, ma
tionally known juvenile judge of Den
yer, lost his fight in the United States
supreme court for a review of an
election in which he was defeated in
November, 1924. Lindsey was cred
tied with a victory by the canvassing
board, but his opponent threw the
case into the courts. Lindsey claimed
he was not permitted to present evi-
dence in the Colorado supreme court.
The United States supreme court de-
clined to change the Colorado court
decision.

VICTORY

To be successful one must have a
clearly defined object in life. That
object must never be forgotten even
for a brief period.
No matter how great the Difficult
ties which may be encountered the
bright vision of victory must ever
beckon to those who are to be the vic
torious ones. Those who become dis
couraged and detected or listless and
shiftless will never become success
full.
No one was ever defeated who did
not admit defeat and give up trying
to make good. Instead of boldly and
intelligently removing whatever OBJ
structs the path to victory, the de-
feated one makes no effort to avert
disaster and turn defeat into victory
Whether we are victors or failures
depends on ourselves. Aim high and
cherish lofty ideals and then use your
inborn power and ability to make
your ideals real-your dreams true
Sometimes motto or slogan vii
help to concentrate on what we wish
to accomplish. Organized labor uses
this method and urges all to bear this
one in mind when spending the union.

All trades-unionists are requested
to adopt this slogan if they are truly

ON GUARD

In the flood of misrepresentation
that has plagued the trade unions
since the signing of the armistice,
we have in effect turned the other
cheek. There has been no adequate
and comprehensive reply. The hired
men of the calumny squad have taken
courage of their immunity, and SO now
each new effort surpasses that imme-
diately proceeding it.
On the other hand, the unions seem
to be Indifferent, frn in their con-
viction that they are so strong they
can not be affected Let them say
what they please; what do we care,
might aptly describe the attitude.
They are certainly saying what they
please, a mouthful of it. A recent
issue of one of the prominent and
widely circulated weekly publications
went the entire distance-murder,
rapine, arson.
1t is no exaggeration to predict that
unless the unions arouse themselves
and tell their story, in FIVE years
they will have no audience. Indeed,
so much damage has already been
done that the work of undoing the
damage viii be long and arduous.
Public opinion is tremendous force
and an undoubted asset to the cause
it favors. No human agency can
stand against it, can hope to succeed
without its affirmative expression
The elements in human society that
are opposed to combinations Of labor
know this. They have a high regard
for propaganda. They may deride
it when used against them, and at the
same tine be assiduous in it's use in
promoting their own interests. The
work that has been done by them in
hostility to the unions is proof of the
value they attach to it.
The executive council of the A. F.
of L. in its report to the recent De-
troit convention said that the unions
were quasi-public institutions, and
that the public was entitled to know
their aims and their aspirations. The
telling should not longer be delayed.
The unions have nothing to hide, and
much to be proud of. They are valu-
able social agencies. Let them take
the public into their confidence.-By
James M. Lynch.

SUBWAY COMPANY
Despotic Employer, Inter
myer Says

BY international Labor News Service
New York City.-Samuel Inter
myer, noted lawyer and the most re-
lentless critic of financial combina-
tions, has branded as oppressive, des-
potic and un-American the treatment
of traction employees by the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company.
On behalf of the city and state he
is investigating the way the city of
New York has been tricked into put
ting hundreds of millions into sub
ways without chance Of getting any
return.
Untermyer called upon John F
Gilchrist, chairman of the transit
commission, to direct the Interborough
to abandon its company union" and
to permit its $4,000 employees to join
any union they chose. The INTERIOR
ough has an injunction, however, for
bidding the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electrical Railway EN-
ployes from organizing.

THE BEST CUSTOMER

Perhaps no strike of coal miners
has aroused such small percentage
of comment as the present one. 1t
may or may not be because it has
occurred more or less frequently in
the past. The fact that there are
thousands of tons of coal above the
ground may also be the reason there
is no great manifestation of alarm.
The situation is peculiar. The op-
orators declare they no longer can
afford to pay approximately $3.50 per
day, owing to competition by non
union mines. Wages paid the non
union miners are said to be about
$3.50 a day.
Here is a point to remember before

case as has come into the public prints
seems to indicate that here is case

Denver lose more than Lindsey, their

MORE OPERATORS

The first break in the suspension IN
the Harrisburg, Ill.,, field occurred

at Carriers Mills, started hosting coal
after signing the Jacksonville scale
with the miners.
The Pike County Ind.) Coal Cor
poration, employing some 750 men,
has signed the old scale with the
union.
Reports to union headquarters indi-
cate the steady drift to the old wage
scale, and it is believed that when the
demand for coal shows any appreciabie
increase that the bulk of the opera
tors will agree to the old wage scale
and resume work.
In the Southwest fields an agree
ment is imminent, according to word
from that REGION. Miners and oper-
ators there have been in conference
for several weeks.
