SOFT COAL TRADE
Feels Effect of Industrial
Slump

By international Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind.-Slack times in
many industries of the country, de-
spite stories of prosperity evidently
floating about for political purposes,
are reflected in the coal industry. Al
though operators in majority of
states over the union coal fields have
signed the scale, their mines are ly-
ing idle because of no business. Thou
sands of soft coal miners are idle.
Indiana mines for the most part
have either closed down for lack of
orders or have not started Southern
Indiana territory where business has
been fairly good has closed down due
to the lack of demand for coal. Strip
mines, however, are working. Knox
county operations are in bad way
and many children of miners are des-
titute because of no work for their
fathers. When asked about the situa-
ton, operators declare there is no de-
mand for coal as most industries are
either closed down or working short
time.

Low Wages in indianapolis
Bar to Prosperity in City,
Unionists Tell Open Shoppers

By International Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind james c. Shan
essy, general president, and Jacob
Fischer, general secretary treasurer
of the Journeymen BARRIERS Interna-
tional Union, have Jared the gentle
complacency of "big business" in In
dianapolis by showing that this city
pays the lowest scale of wages of any
city of its size in America with the
exception of New Orleans and Bal
timore.
The disclosure came in the form of
letter these two union officials ad-
dressed to Edward O. Snethen, chair
man of the Indianapolis Industrial
Foundation, in reference to more in
dustries for the city.
Poor Wages Harm City
The latter pointed out that the anti
union low-wage policy of the employ
ers of Indianapolis is injuring the city
and is the cause of the depression in
business here. 1t also pointed out that
indianapolis is known as a ''low
wage center and an "open shopper "
paradise. Since the close of the World
War, the letter says, determined op-
position of business interests has
served to defeat most labor organiza-
ton efforts here. In consequence
wages are far below the average for
cities of this class.
Market strength and prosper
ity," the letter says, ''are depend
ent on the buying power Of the
masses, which means high wages.

Many Factors Make Farmers
Move from Country to City
Agriculture Department Finds

thing but farm, and those who had
tried other occupations. Most of them
had been cultivators of moderately
large farms. One-third of those who
still owned farms after moving to
town received over half their subse-
quent income from farms. About one
third of the farms of those who still
own their farms are operated by ten
ants who are blood relations.
Reasons For Going To City
Reasons given for migrating to the
city included drawbacks" on the
farm and inducements" in village,
town or city. Not being able to make
ends meet" while on the farm, was the
chief reason that third of the mi
grants gave for giving up farming
Physical disability caused the move
ment of one-fourth the number of mi
grants. To gain better schooling for
their children ranked high as an in
ducement with both owners and ten
ants. Financial ability to retire was
the reason why one farmer out of
every forty moved to the city.
Many men who left the city to be-
come hired men on farms said they
did SO because of the high cost of liv-
ing in the city. Others who left the
city said they were tired of city life
Still others declared that the indie
pendent life on farm was their chief
reason for leaving the city.
Older Farmers Weeded Out
The survey indicates steady weed
ing out of older people on the farm
who are replaced in part at least by
men and women in earlier life. AL
though the total farm population is
reduced in numbers, the result is the
development of more vigorous and
efficient agriculture. A detriment
however, is that those who retire take
with them to the city volume Of
financial wealth and experience, the
loss of which retards rural institu.
tional improvements.

By International Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.,-Numerous fac
tors other than that of economic pres
sure have been responsible for the
unprecedented migration from farms
to cities in recent years, the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, United
States Department of Agriculture,
has learned in survey of the situa-
tion The opportunity for making a
better living on the farm than in the
city, however, was found to be the
principal reasons why persons move
from cities to farms.
The survey disclosed that some
farmers move to town because they
can not make farming pay, or are
drawn to the city by the lure of a
larger income; others move because of
better school facilities for their chill
dren; others because of being ply
sically unable to continue farming,
and a small number because of fnan-
cial ability to retire.
Many Farmers Disillusioned
Most of the persons moving from
cities to farms were found to be for
mer farmers who had been disillus-
ioned by city life. They found they
could make better living on the farm
than in the city. Some moved back
to the farm because of better living
conditions in the country; the high
cost of living in cities drove others
to the farm, and still others were in
duced to take up farming for the sat
isfaction of an Independent life.
The bureaus survey covered 2,745
persons now in cities who had moved
from farms scattered generally
throughout the country; and 1,167
persons on the farms who had recent
ly moved from cities stated their reas-
ons for giving up city life.
Most of the migrants to cities were
found to be farmers of long standing.
They were about equally divided
among those who had never done any

Pittsburgh, Pa.,-After listening
spellbound to a recital of oppression,
brutality and intrigue such as has
been seldom unfolded to an American
audience, the mine strike conference
held here by the American Federation
of Labor voted Immediately, sweep
ing and vigorous action in defense of
the $4,000 miners who are out in the
Pittsburgh district and the 100000
who are out in the four soft coal dis
tricts of western and central Penn
sylvania, West Virginia and Ohio.
The action to be taken includes:
l. An appeal to President Coolidge
by the executive Council of the A. F.
of L., accompanied by President John
l.. Lewis of the United Mine Workers.
2. Appeals to other governmental
officers and agencies in Washington.
3. A demand for an immediate, fair
and thorough investigation of wrongs
by the governor of this state.
A. A call to the striking miners to
stand fast and to conduct themselves
in accordance with law, regardless of
what may be sought to be imposed by
those not clothed with law-making
powers.
5. A call for funds from interna-
tionals, local bodies, central bodies
and state federatiOns.
6. A call upon religious, civic and
other organizations to come and see''
for themselves the wrongs inflicted
upon the miners and to proclaim those
wrongs to the nation.
7. A protest of the most ringing
character against the conduct of mine

BOYCOTT is FAVORED

st. Louis, Mo.-The boycott, long
used by organized labor, is getting
respectable. This plan is favored by
Newton D. Baker to stop war. The
former secretary of war told the
World Alliance for International
Friendship that this country should
enter the Word court and cooperate
with the League of Nations in refus-
ing to trade with any nation held by
the league to be an aggressor in war.

furnishing food, clothing and medi-
cines. Another injunction forbids
more than three miners to meet to-
gether anywhere in the strike region
Injunctions are about all the law there
is for the miners and each injunction
was made by one man on a bench.
Strike breakers, numbering perhaps
$4,000, are mostly colored men from
the South, many from Alabama,
where the only experience any man
gets in mining is as convict They
mine about half as much as union
miner would mine.
So, as these stories were revealed
by Murray and by President John L.
Lewis, men got a picture of a great,
brutal tragedy, of men standing with
their backs to the wall, determined
against surrender, of courage and
ldealism and American pride on the
one hand and of relentless corporate

That indianapolis has not enjoyed
an influx of factories as a result
of its anti-uniOn wage complexion,
is due to the fact that this method
of Turing industries is obsolete"
The letter points out that the sta
tistics used are from government
sources compiled by Thomas C. Lewis,
statistician of the International Typo
graphical Union. Among seventy-four
cities of the country for which gov
ernmantal figures are available to
show earnings of workers, Indianap-
oils stands ffty-frst. New Orleans
and Baltimore, the only two cities of
equal size, or larger than Indianap-
oils, that pay their workers less are
directly influenced by the poorly paid
and frequently idle negroes, especial
ly in New Orleans, and the poorly
paid negroes and women workers of
Baltimore.
Big Loss In Wages
President Shanessy pointed out that
in Indianapolis the workers were finn
fammed out of $2,745, 900 in 1925,
this being the amount below the av-
erage wage paid workers in other
cities. In other words, he said, work
ers in Indianapolis failed to spend
that sum with merchants and other
businesses because they did not have
it to spend.
The letter caused a mild sensation
among the SNUG "open shoppers" and
the pompous union busters" of this
city.

the Wild Cats down in the tenth and
then proceeded to bring two runs.
Blackburn of the Cubs was responsible
for the winning scores. Hector Mir

allowed eight hits and walked only
one, while Robert Lewis allowed ten
hits and walked seven.
The Swastika are going at present
1000 per cent strong. Carey, Is year

just plenty fast and crooked. His
whole team was giving him very
good support. While some of the
team were not up to form they
went good. Carey allowed only one
safe hit in seven innings, and struck
out nine.
The Speed Devils played good base
ball but some one has to get beaten
in a game of baseball And SO they
took their turn now instead of later.
Hiatt, although not protesting to be
a big league pitcher, allowed five hits
and struck out one. Krentz and
Martanez looked exceptionally good in
the outfield. D. Carey, Shotwell,
Pratt and Dixon looked good, but
admitted they were just little off
