INDICT Mine MEN
For Coercing Employees In
Court Election

Kits, Ky.-Officials of the Clover
Fork Coal Company are indicted for
coercing and intimidating employees
to vote for D. C. Jones for circuit
Judge. Jones defeated Judge Fores-
ter, and coal owners from this judi
cial circuit are fleeing into Tennessee
and Virginia to avoid being summon
ed as witnesses. More than $4,000
was expended by the coal owners to
secure the election of Jones.
These are the methods anti-union
operators use to be assured labor in
functions whenever employees discuss
affilation with the United Mine
Workers.
"All too often elections have been
stolen and men have been coerced by
politicians and dirty coal operators. -
said an official of Bell county. "These
two counties have an awful reputa-
ton. We are looked upon as outlaws
by the outside world and it is time
to call a halt. We want every man
and woman in these two counties who
believe in honest elections, as our con
stitution provides, to get behind this
contest and help ferret out this po-
into office of men who have bought
lltical outlawry and stop the putting

VACATIONS
Make For Efficiency, Iron
Age Suggests

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-That the Civ
ing of vacations with pay to indus
trial workers results in increasing
workers efficiency and thus pays the
employer in dollars and cents is
strongly suggested in an editorial
from the Iron Age, leading organ of
the iron and steel trade. The editor
is quoted in the current Monthly La
Dor Review of the United States bu-
reau of labor statistics.
The Iron Age editorial directs at
tention to the growth of the vacation
idea among employers. The case is
cited of an engineering company en-
shops which has found that many of
the employees working on an hourly
wage basis are glad of the opportun-
ity to take a week or two even at
their own expense. In the past the
men hesitated to ask for leave as
they feared it might jeopardize their
chances for advancement or even
make their jobs less secure. One of
the officials of the company felt that
this might be the case, and according
ly notified the men that they might
feel free to apply for leave of abb
sence. As result very considerable
number of the men took advantage of
the offer during the past summer.
1t has been the practice of this COM
pany to give vacations with pay to
those employees who have had ten
years service with the company, and
in case of sickness such employees are
allowed to charge this time against
their vacation allowance.
The editorial concludes:
Vacations with pay to workers by
the hour or place are comparatively
new, though isolated instances have
existed for year. Evidently the prac-
tice is spreading. 1t is usually con-
fined to employees who have earned
special consideration by long and
faithful service. In spite Of the large
outlay, employers who have tried the
plan seem to believe that it pays
though the return may not be calcu.
liable. The practice should tend te
keep intact the organization and re.
duce labor turnover. Perhaps, too
men do enough better work after
such leave to help make up the
Icost."

FLAHERTY
Urges Reform in Postal
Clerks Night Work

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Uncle Sam is
a model employer in the matter of
protecting his employees against acci-
dents and illness, but his personal sys-
tenn, including the hiring of new en-
ployes, and his treatment of postal
clerks who work at night are in need
of improvement, according to gov
ernment officials and others who
spoke at the twenty-frst annual meet
ing of the American Association for
Labor Legislation here
Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary
treasurer of the National Federation
of Post Office Clerks, told the con-
ference that the government fails to
provide higher wages or shorter
hours to thousands of post office
clerks who must work at night.
Because of the hardships of night
work." he said, "the employees should
be granted time differential of fif-
teen minutes in every hour between
Is p. m. and 6 a. m. This will take
care of thousands of clerks who work
partly at day and partly at night, re-
porting for work in the late after
noon in order to handle the great vol
ume of mail which reaches the post
offices at that time"

Hearings Begin This Month
On Bill to Amend is. Code

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-Spurred by the
fight of the traction interests of New
York to fasten sweeping injunc-
ton on all organized labor, and with
the memory of thousand injunctions,
including the Bedford cut stone in
junction, imbedded in its history, bind
ing it's members in almost every
state in the Union, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor will this month begin
its big congressional fight to limit the
power of equity judges.
Under the personal direction and
leadership of President Green, the
A. F. of L. will enter the senate ju-
dietary committee hearings on the
Shipstead bill, determined to win a
final victory if possible by securing
a favorable report and a favorable
vote in that bill, which is supported
by labor The bill provides for an
amendment to the federal code and is
as follows:
Equity courts shall have jurisdic-
tion to protect property when there is
no remedy at law, and for the pur
pose of determining such jurisdiction
nothing shall be held to be property
unless it is tangible and transferable,
and all laws and parts Of laws incon-
sistent herewith are hereby repealed" +"
Assisting President Green will be
Andrew Furuseth, veteran president
of the Seamen's Union and authority
on injunctions; and Matthew Woll,
vice president of the A. F. of L.,
who is leading the legal fight against
the traction plea in New York.

LO IS STILL POOR
By FRAKLYN E. WOLFE

Lo, the poor Indian, seems to be
getting it in the same spot where he
was on the receiving end when poet
discovered him about century ago.
Representative James A. Frear, who
fought the battles of the Indian in the
last congress, decided during the sum-
mer to do little investigating. He
travelled 4,500 miles by automobile,
looking in on 20 Indian reservations.
He says he found plenty of evidence
to Justify his demand that congress
take the lid off the Indian bureau.
Among other things, Mr.. Frear took
a look at that Lees Ferry bridge over
the Colorado river in deserted part
of Arizona, which the Indian bureau,
congress acquiescing, saddled on to
the Navajo Indians to the extent of a
100000 debt against their tribal
funds. No Indians live within 25 miles
of the site, yet this impoverished tribe
of the West, it's death rate high be-
cause of lack of funds, must pay for a
bridge, trimmed with ornamental
lights and all the other fixings, be-
cause white men want to develop a
continental road through that part of
Arizona. This single act of the In
dian bureau in sanctioning such di-
version Of Indian moneys is enough to
justify an investigation.
And Mr.. Frear found other in
stances Of saddling the cost of public
improvements on the Indians. 1t is a
new way to rob the Red man and ii
seems to be going well in the West
with Indian bureau sanction.
But it is not alone Of specific in
stances that Mr.. Frear is talking in
his latest speech, in which he sets the
whole case before the American peo-
pie. He does talk, of course, about
