Pittsburgh.-How fares the biggest
coal company in the world, with it's
union-wrecking policy? The question
is of interest to business and labor
alike. The Pittsburgh Coal Company
leader of the fight for pauper min
ers' wage, is losing from $3,000,000 to
$5,ooo,ooo year.
This is the premier coal company
that broke its agreement with the
United Mine Workers of America two
years ago. The great strike is still
effective as the company's shrinking
bank account shows. Thousands OF
gunmen, thugs and strikebreakers
have been imported and still the COM
pany shows loss.
The next largest company, the
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company
shows a deficit of 100000 for sis
months after all charges are met. II

the Gales regime, who may be ad-

given the customs officers and that
their action was prompted by mo-

1t is customary to accord special
courtesy to members of foreign
friendly governments, and the action
in searching Morones' car here is re-
garded as an inexcusable affront for
which apology ought to be made.
Aside from the action of the Gus
toms officers, Morones' passage
through this city enroute home was
made an occasion to do him honor.
He was met and greeted by citizens,
city officials and labor representa-
tives, as well as by a representative
of the United States Army.

MINERS HOLD MORALE:
DEMAND LIVING WAGE

Indianapolis. -" "Self-confdence , is
another name for self-respect, and
that, in large measure, accounts for
the attitude of the membership of the
United Mine Workers in their fight
against wage reductions" says the
United Mine Workers Journal
"No man can display self-respect on
$2.75-a-day wage. No man can
show self-respect when he is at the
mercy of an employer who can dictate
what the wage worker shall eat, what
he shall wear and how he shall educate
his children-if at all.
"Yet band of employers seek to
do this very thing through the setting
of a large scale that spells degrada-
ton, loss of self-respect and inde-
pendence"

TORIES
Still Alert To Control Britain

| London, England Tory party
now in control of the British govern
ment, has not abandoned its efforts
to bulwark itself by changing the
House of Lords.
Trade unionists are calling atten.
! ton to recent declarations by Pre-
mier Baldwin and other government
officials that the plan that was re-
jected was offered "for criticism and
ventilation" Lord Birkenhead, g
leading Tory, has stated that it is the
intention of the government to carry
the bill into law in the lifetime of the
present Parliament.
1t is now agreed that the defeat OF
the bin simply means that the bat
tered Conservative army has retired
in confusion to remobilize its forces
and reconsider it's plan of campaign
AS soon as the new objective and the
| new tactics have been decided upon
| the attack on the Constitution will
again be launched.
The Tories would centralize all
power in the House of Lords by re-
ducing the power of the House OF
Commons to control appropriations
and to pass legislation despite oppo-
sition of the Lords.
They hope that the anti-trade un-
ion bill will demoralize the forces of
labor on the economic and political
field, and that changes in the House
of lords will entrench the conserv-
atives for any disaster that may hap
pen at the 1929 general election.

AVERAGE SALARY
OF Teachers is S2OOS An
nually

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-Two thousand
and eight dollars per year is the av-
erage salary paid to teachers in pub
lie elementary schools in the large
cities of the United States, according
to an investigation just concluded by
the research division of the National
Education Association.
The associations investigation,
which deals with salaries of the school
year 1926-27, is of special interest to
the business man. 1t gives his infor-
nation as to the competition which he
must face in bidding against the pub
lie school system for the services of
women to work in office and factory.
The associations data show that
the average salary of elementary
school teachers varies according to
the size of the city. In cities of less
than 100000 population but more than
10000, the average salary for teach
ers is ST. ,565 per year or SAB per year
less than the average paid in the larg-
est cities of more shan 100000 pop
ulation. In cities of 10000 to 10000
population the average salary is ST.
381, while in cities of from 5000 to
10000 population the average is ST.
PSI. An average of $1,176 is paid in
the smallest cities of less than 5000
population.

LESS OIL PRODUCTION
is FAVORED BY STATE

Oklahoma City.-The agreement of
oil operators to limit production in the
huge Seminole field is in operation.
The curtailment will continue 60 days,
but if the scheme works it is believed
the time will be extended 1t is pro-
posed to lessen daily output from 50,-
900 to $4,000 barrels. This will stop
the flow that has overrun the market
and threaten to lower prices.
The plan was worked out by Ray
M c. Collins of this State, who was
appointed oil czar at meeting called
in New York in May by officers of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey.
The Oklahoma Corporation Com
mission has approved the plan, thus
presenting the unusual spectacle of
the State agreeing with business to
enforce an agreement to lessen pro-
duction.

COAL OWNERS
Refuse Parley To Adjust Wages

Columbus, Ohio.-Coal owners re-

that they meet with employees to dis

Competitive Field.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, notified the
Ohio governor Of the miners "unqual-
flied acceptance" The competitive
field consists of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Western Pennsylvania. Rates for
this area is the base of wages in other
fields. At the conference in Miami
last spring, wage agreement failed
because the coal owners insisted that
rates be based on the non-union fields
of Kentucky and West Virginia. The
strike has been on since April /.

Cigar Makers Head Urges
Changing Of Union Laws
To Facilitate Organization

By International Labor News Service.
Chicago,-A plea for workable
laws that fit evolutionary changes
and changing conditions" to facili-
tate the organizing of all wage earn

at the opening of the twenty-sixth
convention of the Cigar Makers In
ternational Union, held in Chicago.
eve can and we will organize the
wage earners in the cigar and tobac-
co industry" he said.
Would Amend Strike Laws
President Ornburn stressed the i'm
portance of amending the strike laws
of the union so that employers may
have more confidence in the inviolibil-
ity of contracts underwritten by the
international organization.
Discussing the problems put upon
the union by the introduction of labor
saving machinery, and pointing way
out; President Ornburn said, in part:
"We have witnessed the passing of
the individually owned small and
medium sized shops in practically all
industries, and particularly SO in the
cigar and tobacco trade, and have seen
them supplanted by the stock-owned
corporation, operating under different
and modern means of production, such
as mass production and mass distri-
button. We must adopt methods that
will coordinate with and be workable
under these changes.
Want Share of Benefits
"No one can successfully deny the
right of wage earners to participate
in the benefits of improved machinery.
The inventor and the capitalist have
had or are taking their full toll of
benefits. We do not begrudge them
their rightful share, but we as wage
earners are entitled to and want our
just share of the benefits that follow
from the use of improved machinery
eve must work and give life to
these machines As workers, we are
justly entitled to fair wages, and,
ceive such wages as will enable us to
consume to the economic level neces-
sary to keep the wheels of trade and
commerce at point necessary to pre-
vent under-consumption and unem-
ployment.
"Well grounded economists, civil
and mechanical engineers, intelligent
and disinterested statisticians all
agree that the wage earners must
receive in wages sufficient sum to
enable them to consume that which
they create, or, failing therein, stag

Value of High Wages
