Factors in the Mining Situation

HE power of the United Mine
L Workers will again be felt by the
country provided the 100000 former
Union miners now working for non
union mines walk out if the union
strikes April 1. That is the view of
government circles according to Paul
Wooton, Washington correspondent of
Coal Age.
The big question, he says, is, will
they go out if a general suspension is
ordered. If not the strike will mean a
drop of only 100000 tons a week in
coal production and with present re-
serves the country can stand that for
10 weeks before reaching the danger
point But many thousands of non
union miners walked out in the Con-
nellsville, Somerset and adjacent
Pennsylvania districts in 1922.
Joining Forces
Union activities in certain non-union
fields are noted by Coal Age and the
Chicago Journal of Commerce. Coal
Age speaks Of considerable Roadway
in recognizing western Kentucky.
The journal cites a report that
Muhlenburg county miners in this
section have voted to strike in the
event of suspension in the central
competitive field. In southern West
Virginia, also, according to Coal Age,
union officials claim about 5000 men,
hers, with many nonunion miners
ready to follow the union lead if the
unionization drive gets under way
after April l.
''NOnunion" Means Low Wage
A sympathetic walkout of nonunion
miners would be assured if they took
to heart recent statement by the
Ohio operators association which
shows historically that periods of non
union operation have been synonymous
with low prices, low wages, low profits
and irregular employment Going far
back in their history of negotiations
the operators say:
an 1885 the condition of the miners
in the mining camps of America was
almost unbearable. Wages were low,
hours of labor long and employment

Job Hunting on a Rainy Day

so an effort had to be made to land
among the clover. However, within
IN hour I am home again in my fur
nished room. sadder but wiser. The
old tradition of mo sunshine - no
work" still holds good.
My inquiry for work was answered
in the negative. The boss certainly
Knows how to say an emphatic "no."
Myself and other fifty fellow work
ers, who stood in line with me are
witness of that. I am just now count
ting the expenses which | incurred
during the extravaganza of looking
for work. have shortened my morn
ing slumber by about four hours, and
as "time is money" considerable ex-
pense item falls on the debit side of
the ledger. have choked down at
6.30 a. m. 10 cent breakfast, when
I wasn't hungry yet, but had to eat
in preparation to getting a job. Since
a painter is sometimes sent to a Job
outside Of the radius of restaurants,
I also bought so cent lunch and
finally had to spend ten cents for fare.
Thus my folly Of looking for work this
morning cost me four hours of peace
full rest and one dollar in cash.
Right now I am meditating on what
TO do next. If this sort of thing keeps
up then l may have to change my
trade to that of a professional poll
tician, a bootlegger, burglar or some
other honest occupation; for it is OBJ
vious that my present calling will
bring me to a stage of bankruptcy.
If my conscience should bother me
and say that work is honest and that
burglars sometimes go to Jail, then
shall answer such tender admoni-
tions by firmly reminding my subtle
"better self" that workers sometimes
fall from the scaffolding, break their
neck and get buried in grave.
Odds indeed seem to favor burglary.
AS soon as that trade gets organized
shall ditch the futile and expensive
passion of looking for painters job
to that Of an easier and more remun-
erative burglar profession.

THESE few lines are written in
4 my furnished room" at o'clock,
Monday morning, possibly one Of the
most unprosaic of places and unusual
of hours imaginable for writing an
article. And yet, there is a logical
reason for this, for altho most peo-
pie are still sleeping or are just about
to be awakened by the melodious ring
of an alarm clock, 1 have already at
this early hour had an adventure war
ranting the penning of these lines.
"Man is the subject land victim
tool of his environment" The YER
acity Of this maxim is obvious. My
environment at the present time is
rainy" hence instead of working at
my trade on some job, l am sitting in
my furnished room and scribbling.
I have been cup" since o'clock,
and have gone thru the usual routine
preparatory to putting in a days
work. | am somewhat eager too, for
this is to be my first jo6 since No
vember, some four months ago. It
has been tough winter, with jobs at
a minimum. Friday / applied for
work at the Browning Painting Co,
and was told to "come around" on
Monday morning. To be sure, I got
no definite promise, but had reason
to believe that if the boss would feel
alright, if the weather be permissible,
if I'd come early enough to be at the
head of the waiting line and if 1
should strike the boss's fancy at that
time, that there would then be a job
for me on Monday morning. The
many "if's" seemed to be insurmount-
able, still there was a fighting CHARGE
It is a well known fact that an
old-time sea captain, of the windjam-
mer type, will avoid going to sea on
. Friday, which factor can be ex-
planned by the religion of the ancient
Norsemen. Friday was the day of
Frya, the goddess OF the sea, and the
religious services rendered to that
lady on Fridays usually kept the
Norsemen in port. Altho the religious
ceremonies have ceased long ago, yet
the tradition of not going to sea on
a Friday remains.
The same principle, tho Of differ
cnt nature, prevails among painter
bosses, who, because Of the Interior
ence of rain with outside housepaint-
ing, will not hire men on a wet day,
altho most of tho work today is in
side of the buildings, unmolested by
outside weather conditions.

intermittent The average coal COM
rany in the central competitive field
was earning little if any dividends
and the general situation TO all parties
at interest was most unsatisfactory"
There followed short period of col
lective bargaining in the central COM
petitive field, 1886 to 1889, but this
broke down as a result Of keen com
petition and the weakness of the
union. Then, beginning 1890 and
continuing during the depression up
to the strike of July 4, 1897, chaos
reigned, wages were low with little
employment and great loss to the coal
companies"
Must Unite
"In January 1885," continues the
brief history, "the operators and
miners of the central competitive field
again reestablished joint bargaining,
which resulted in the Chicago and Col
umbus agreement. The Chicago
agreement covered tonnage rates and
hours Of labor, the Columbus agree
'4tSiS SliS Nay-WdSS EdCeS. ONCE JnlS
agreement day rates have increased
from S1.75 to $3.50 per day in the
central competitive field. During these
years the United Mine Workers Of
America have developed from an or
ganization Of 10000 members to one
of 100000 and have exercised control
in the central competitive field.
THE miners union" say the opera
tors, 'has been unable to exercise any
considerable influence upon the wages
and working conditions south of the
Ohio river, their membership in that
territory being very small. Hence
since 1898 Ohio has increased her ton
mage 100 per cent. Indiana 365 per
cent, Illinois 271 per cent, while the
territory known as West Virginia and
Kentucky have increased their ton
mage 7S6 per cent. and 1880 per cent.
respectively"
The statement makes clear the in
terest Of all miners in extending union
control until coal will be mined only
for decent wages and in reasonable
hours.

These spindy fellows strut on this new stage
With smiles Of cynical morbidity,
With warped intelligences bathing angrily
In the modern sea of sordidness With rage

Their colgated teeth in derision against the mind
That set forth the machines that bang
So rudely on the drum of their esthetic ear.

Plying with skilled hands did rape
That muse the poets call their own sweet DEAR

Created by your hand shoot through the dark,
oblivious to all except this, your ecstacy,
Flaunt your poem in the highest sky,
And hurl to all eyes your flaming jagged 81"
