To Halt the Waste of Lives

delegates attend from over 200 labor
unions. I'M
Emergency Measures Needed
Measures for the immediate control
of industrial hazards will be outlined
as we'll as the practical steps to en-
force safety codes. A concerted at
tack on the causes of industrial acci-
dents and occupational disease will be
mapped out The health experts hope
to bring the facts forcibly before the
labor representatives. They realize
nothing is quite so effective as the
force of labor, when aroused.
A few of the more damning facts
of national waste of workers lives and
vitality are available to the confer
ence.
During the last ten years more than
25 900 miners have been killed. Every
ton of coal, whether for the factory
or the home fire, is spattered with
some workers blooG.
Most Dangerous Jobs
Every country has reduced its in
dustrial death toll except the United
States. Accidents on buildings are
second to mining tragedies. Fifteen
states have no safety codes for build
ing work Construction accidents have
increased 81 per cent in New York
state in the last two years. Only
twelve inspectors are employed tc
safeguard the lives of 100000 work
ers in that wealthy commonwealth.
In Pennsylvania the state depart.
ment of labor was compelled to take
inspectors from every other activity
in 1926 to watch the construction jobs
Factories were neglected as result
Heavy toll was taken in the stee
mills and foundries. Everywhere the
accident toll is growing Hence the
call on labor to conserve life. Al
unions have been urged to take note
of the ''life saving" convention anC

Long Fight on Union Taxes

By International Labor News Service.
Pittsburgh.-Wh the Pittsburgh
Coal Company, largest coal operator
in the world, began its unprovoked
war upon the United Mine Workers, it
had pile of swag almost as big as
slate bank 1t had a $72,000,000
surplus over and above what it hand
ed out royalty to stockholders and
officers in special business, etc.
Overnight it was decided to cut
wages and to break the contract with
the miners. The managers knew the
unions would fight, but they thought
the fight wouldn't last long. That was
two years ago. 1t is estimated the
fight has cost the Pittsburgh Coal
Company $25 100000 to date. So Sc
we're has been the blow that it has
refused to give an estimate of the
monthly tonnage output. How small
this is the union has been able to esti-
mate. AS a result union members are
confident they are on the winning side
Non-union labor has reduced the com
pany's profits to an extent where the
value of the stock has tumbled, Wal

the value when the mines were run.

Anti-uninoists Lose Jobs
Operators millions are sensitive tc
these losses. AS a result the i'll ad
vised leaders of the "open shop" man
agement have been marching to the
fire escapes. There has been a pro
cession of mine bosses into the SCRAP
heap. Only one of the leaders is left

slowly being CONSTRUCTED. Strategy
has developed that indicates salts
factory outcome of what looked to be
most unfavorable situation for the
union. Despite huge overproduction
of coal and an apparently unanimous
decision of the coal operators to break
down the $3.50 day wage, the min
ers are growing stronger week by
week.
Outlook for Union Bright
In a fortnight the big break may
come that will presage an honorable
settlement for a fighting union that
single handed is coping with economic
forces no one thought they could re-
sist. What the miners had to begir
with and what they have gained thus
far will be shown in a subsequent ar
ticle. Meanwhile the entire strength
of organized labor should be brought
into play in this epic struggle of 200,-
600 coal miners.

abuses were heaped upon stanch sup
porters of the Kuomintang and denun-
Citations were freely uttered against
the principles and policies of the party.
These actions have evidently been a
base scheme to destroy the Kuomin-
tang party and on its ruins establish
communistic regime"
The arrest of these dangerous char
acters, it is stated, is not intended to
curtail the orderly agitation of labor
ers and peasants in the liberation
movement.

LINDBERCH MADE
UNION BRICKLAYER

By international Labor News Service.
New York City.-Charles A. Lind
bergh, first to fly from New York to
Paris, has been made an honorary
member of Local Union No. 81, Inter
national Union of Bricklayers, Masons
and Plasterers.
John Gill, chairman of executive
committee, said it was the first such
tribute of organized labor to an avia-
tor. Captain Lindbergh will receive
an engraved membership card.

according to union information and
his tenure is shaky.
The labor turnover is the big cause
of the drain on the company's profits.
LAST month it was 260 per cent. Three
men had to be hired for one who re-
mained at work under the guns of the
coal and iron police. In March alone
it cost the company $4,000 for its
army of gunmen. 1t has spent ST.
100000 for the army since the open
shop" was installed.
Cost of Mining Scars
For every ton of coal mined by in
efficient labor the company has had to
| add $4. The company has spent $780,
900 in one month to bring non-union-
lists from New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia In the last three months it
has lost $806,000, and in the year over
$2,000,000. Counting its drop in stock
value it is estimated it has cost the
Pittsburgh Coal Company more than
| $25, 100000 thus far for the benefits
of breaking its contract and installing
the open shop"
Equally determined efforts are be-
ing made by the mine workers to off
set the company's lavish outlay 1t is
4 the effective counter measures that
have shown even the MELONS that the
United Mine Workers Union is not
to be trified with.
Miners Make Amazing Fight
With no call for help, with no out
cry for sympathy, but relying thus
far entirely upon their own resources
and fighting strength the miners are
accomplishing an amazing "come
back" in the Pittsburgh area.

PICKET ONLY AT
CERTAIN TIMES

Newark, N. Ut is legal for
striking teamsters to picket an anti
union concern from to 8 in the morn
ing and from a to 6 in the afternoon,
but illegal to picket at any other
time, rules Vice Chancellor Backus.
Under this system the company can
request strikebreakers to make ap-
plication for employment at other
hours.
The state law of 1926 gives union
lists the right to picket, but this is
ignored by the vice chancellor.

CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING CAMPS

CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING CAMPS
BY Will NJ. Maupin
Omaha Bee-June A, 1920
What are the bands APPLYING for, and flags a.
waving high?
Young man, they are a-calling you, and you
should answer "Aye".
They're calling you to Training Camp and make
you fine an fit,
And Uncle Sans a-paying you to come and do
your bit.
Hep, hep, hep; Eyes to front and keep the step;
Get that belly in and elevate your chin.
You can mighty safely bet that in rivulets of
sweat
You'll be losing fat and getting fairly thin.
Well, what does Uncle want of me; that my life
should give?
Not So my lad; your Uncle Sam would help you
better live.
He isn't asking you to die amidst the battles
murk-
He's asking you to fit yourself to give him bet
ter work.
Drill, drill, drill; at pace you think1l kill
And you feel your feet1l bust at ev'ry stamp.
But by hook or crook, young fellow, if you amt
shot through with yellow,
He'll make a man of you at Training Camp.
What are the crowds a-cheering for? They're
cheering the parade
Of bright-eyed, healthy, set-up men the Training
Camps have made.
Back from camp they come a-marching, feeling
fit and full of vim,
And our Uncle Sam is smiling-theyn do better
work for him.
| Red! White! Blue! What a grand old flag
! to view
Justice, Liberty and Right in ev'ry line.
| Cheer, you Rockies, till you're hoarse! Amt
/ you glad you took the course?
/ Training camp life will do any young man an
immense amount of good. He win benefit by
the diet, by the exercise and by the discipline
If the training camp does nothing more than In
still into him a respect for constituted authority
it viii have done great work It is only by be-
ing willing to submit to constituted authority that
men learn how to rightly exercise it. It isn't
at all intended to make him yearn to be soldier
but it viii make him better one If his services
las such are ever demanded.

THE TIE NUISANCE


There's way to beat every nuisance and
here's the prescription for the tie nuisance which
bothered this and most other communities the
past year. Mr.. Conrath had been receiving nu-
merous consgnments of ties jewelry, blankets,
etc, that he didn't want, together with letters
telling him how much to remit or to return
the merchandise. Here is his recipe to cure the
evil
eve are advised by competent authority that
when you receive goods by mail that you did not
order, with request that you either send in the
pay for them or return them, you are under no
obligation to do either, even though stamps for
return are provided. OF course, if you use the
goods then the sender can probably collect
But if you retain them, and stand ready to
deliver them and the stamps to the sender or his
representative when called for, you are entirely
within your rights. And if you notify the own
er that you propose to make charge for stor-
age until the goods are called for by him OF his
authorized representative, you are entirely with
in your rights and can proceed to sell the same
to collect your storage charges.
"No one has right to impose upon you the
annoyance and responsibility of caring for some
thing you never ordered, which you accepted from
the postal service unwillingly, and which you
do not want.
ut is an imposition upon you. an attempt to
take away business from your local merchants
who aid IN supporting the affairs Of your COM
munity, and doubtless will be forbidden by law
at an early date, measure to that end having
failed at the last session of congress only be-
cause Of the eongested condition of the calen-
dar."
Proceeding upon that basis, Mr.. Conrath de-
Itermined to store bunch of neckties sent to him
Eunordered, notified the sender they were being
held until called for, that small charge would
be made for keeping them safe for him, and that
if no one called for them within reasonable
time they would be sold to meet the storage
charges.

virtual withdrawal from the ir1vesti-
cation that has continued for 13
months, Gle special prosecutors indi-
Gated that the grand jury had about
