WINTER OUTLOOK
For Employment EncOur-
aging, Coolidge Is Told

Washington, d. C. Q. L. N. ST.
President Coolidge, who is assured Of
employment for himself. this winter,
believes unemployment will not be as
heavy in the coming cold months as in
past years. This was stated officially
at the White House on November 13.
The presidents optimism, it was ex-
planned, is due to encouraging reports
from the department of labor on the
employment situation. The reports,
which were given to the president by
Secretary of Labor Davis, show in
creased demand for labor throughout
the country in October and in the first
week of November.
The information submitted to Presi-
dent Coolidge by Secretary Davis rel
ative to the employment situation was
based upon the report of the depart
ment of labor on general labor con-
ditions for October.
This report, it was said at the de-
partment of labor, shows a we'll sus-
tanned employment in the larger in
dustries and considerable gain in en-
ployment in some industries.
Preliminary reports for the first
part of November will, it was said
show a still further improvement in
employment in many of the country's
leading industries.

BY CHESTER M. WRIGHT

New Orleans, La. CT. L. N. S.)-As
the American Federation of Labor
opens it's forty eighth annual conven-
tion here, the outstanding facts is that
the membership of unions affiliated
to the federation has shot up over
the three and quarter million mark
and is or the rise
The paid-up membership shows a
gain of some $4,000 over last year,
but it is not until the exempt mem
bership is added to the total, as it
should be, that the true membership
figure is found. Owing to strikes
and lockouts there have been, it is
calculated, a half million members
exempt from dues during the year,
and the addition of these most loyal
of all members, those who have stood
on the firing line during the year,
brings the total membership up to
we'll over 3,250,000, a figure that goes
high over any mark set in the last
six years.
This convention will, in important
respects, differ from all previous con-
ventions. The executive council lays
before the convention report that
directs action into what may be called
more statistical, charted and scien-
tifc channel. The blue print is called
for more than ever, if the report is
accepted as guide, and it undoubt-
edly will be.
In addition to reviewing the strug-
giles of the year the report deals with
the late political campaign and re-
views the legislative work of the year.

Court Awards Back Wages
To Union Miner Discharged
In Violation of Contract

pany, by w. p. Davis, general mana
ger" The trial court instructed the
jury that this copy was prima facie
evidence of the acceptance of the
agreement by the Cross Mountain
Company despite the fact that the
signature of Davis was not proved.
In reviewing the case the Tennessee
supreme court held that these facts
were without error.
Other Suits Pending
A number of other miners who also
were refused further work because
they belonged to the union, and whose
contracts with the company were
preached by the operator, have suits
pending against the concern to col
lect under the contract, as Ault has.
The decision, as far as known, sets
precedent in the matter of holding
employers to contracts in the matter
of wages. Up until now it has been
an easy matter for coal operators to
snap their fingers in the faces of their
workers, contract or no contract, and
lock them out on the most flimsy pro-
text. If employees have legal recourse
in such contract violations it means
much to those who have felt the abuse
of contract reputation.

MEDIC UNION SUG-
GESTED

New York.-Unionizatio of doc
tors to meet present economic distress
of private practitioners was sug-
gested at a meeting of the Physi-
clans Progressive League.
Pay clinics, where medical atten-
ton "at cut-rate prices" may be had,
and foundation-supported dispens-
aries, where "rich and poor alike" are
treated free, were condemned as "un-
fair competition, inexcusable in bust
ness and damnable in medicine"
Other phases of an alleged CONNER
cialization and paternalism of the
practice of medicine were deplored as
placing many doctors practicing pri-
vately in financial straits. This, it
was said, resulted in unethical ten
dencies within the profession.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT
Rate is Reported Decreasing

Washington, d. c.. U. L. N. So
The accident rate among railway en-
ployes on duty was reduced about II
per cent in the first seven months of
1928 compared with the same period
in 1927, according to the bureau of
statistics of the interstate commerce
commission. There was an improve
ment in every railroad operating de-
partment, resulting from the safety
campaigns which the railroads have
conducted for years.
The measuring rod which the COM
mission applies in determining the
relative degree of safety is the figure
showing Casualties per million man
hours" This covers the actual num-
Der of hours worked by all employees
OF the steam railroads during the
period under consideration.
The commission reports that casu-
alties per million man hours, cover
ing both killed and injured employees
on duty, in the first seven months of
1928 stood at 1907, a reduction of
1853, or l7.3 per cent, as compared
with the first seven months of 1927.
The casualties per million locomo-
tive miles (killed an dinjured), which
cvoers both employees and passengers,
amounted to 24.48 for the first seven
months this year. reduction of 3.33,
or 11.9 per cent, as compared with
the same period of 1927

In the number of shore fishermen were
inherent in the situation, apart from
the steam trawler. Motor power boats
have also increased production. The
number of Nova Scotia shore fisher
men declined by 6,583 between 1890
and 1911 when steam trawlers were
not being employed from its ports,
while the decrease from 1911 to 1927.
the period that the trawler came into
regular use, was only 5,534.
Fishermen Lack Organization
Lack of organization explains some
of the troubles of the fishermen of the
three Maritime provinces. Unions
have appeared from time to time, but
have not developed vitality to keep
them alive and spread. The organ
lied fishermen of Newfoundland and
the Gaxpe Coast of Quebec have suf-
fered less from postwar changes
than the unorganized of the mari
times. About the upshot of the Mac
claen commissions findings on the
needs of the fishermen is the advice
that Providence helps those who help
themselves. So an energetic organ
izer might get results among these
fishermen.
