Soft Coal Miners Celebrate
Anniversary Of 8-hour Day;
Some Mines Renew Agreement

indianapolis, Ind. (I. L. N. S.)--Bi-
luminous coal miners in the union
fields of the country celebrated the
institution of the eight-hour day on
April l, and no mines worked. Work
suspension in many districts, how
ever, in effect a year tc the date
mentioned, had no effect on the en-
thusiasm of the union miners in their
celebrations. The only change was
in the mode of celebrating, as the
unlonlsts gave over to solidifying
their position in the fight against a
low wage.
The temporary contract in effect
over the soft coal fields expired at
midnight, March 81, and in mines
where the contract was not renewed
there was no work. However a num-
Der of operations in Indiana, Illinois
and the Southwest will continue work
as usual, having either previously
signed up a new contract under the
Jacksonville agreement or being in
the process of negotiating one.

every effort was made to have the
pickets and the public obey the court

"New Step in Industrial
Undertakings in America"
Says Garments President
Joint Ownership and Management in the End" With
Better Service for Public and Higher Standards For
Men, Union Chief Says-May Mean New York Vic
tory if Change of Management Comes

BY international Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-An agreement
between the powerful Mitten traction
interests, which control Philadelphia
and Buffalo street railway transpor-
tation, and the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees of America is confirm
ed in statement made by President
w. D. Mahon to headquarters of In
ternational Labor News Service here.
First announcement of the agree
ment was made in the "house organ"
of the Mitten interests, in which the
agreement was quoted and in which
the Mittens declared that capital has
now capitulated to Mahon," saying
"all's we'll that ends we'll" The agree
ment was signed by the sons of the
two chiefs, A. A. Mitten for the Nit
ten interests, and 0. L. Mahon for the
veteran president of the traction
workers.
The agreement probably is one of
the most remarkable in trade union
experience and will, no doubt, be stud
led with deep interest by trade union
executives everywhere. 1t is one of
the finest examples of the diplomacy
of w. D. Mahon, who has for years
been famed for it's cleverness and
effectiveness

lect, by check-off, such amounts as the
union may direct. The benefit systems
will come under the jurisdiction of the
union, the company contributing 81
per month, it is reported.
What Remarkable Agreement
Provides
Important paragraphs of the agree
ment follow:
"The F. R. T. philadelphia Rapid
Transit under Mitten management
cooperative plan of 1926 shall be made
effective with the union covering such
system or departments of a system
as the union may designate after two
thirds of such employees shall have so
determined by secret ballot, it being
fully understood that the right to or
ganize is fundamental right of labor
which should not and cannot be per-
manently abridged or denied; but it is
now understood and agreed that the
activities of the amalgamated in this
respect shall be restricted to proper
ties that are to be acquired or oper-
ated by Mitten management in the
future.
$50 far as Philadelphia and Buffalo
are concerned, conditions there are to
remain as at present in SO far as or
ganiZation activities are concerned, it
being desirable that the situation on
these properties shall remain as at
present, in order that the standard of
economic excellence of these COM
panies now being operated by Mitten
management be the standard by which
union performance in cooperating
with Mitten management on other
properties shall be measured.
when cooperation between the
amalgamated and Mitten manage
ment has developed to a point where
the results are equal to those obtained
on these properties, the matter of
union-management agreements on
these properties may be discussed and
be made the basis of further agree
ment"

Mahon Describes Notable Agreement

Mahon Describes Notable Agreement
In his statment to International
Labor News Service, Mahon details
the events leading up to the agree
ment and expresses his hopes as to
its results in the following language
For the past three weeks repre-
sentatives of our association have
been in conference with T. E. Mitten
and Dr. A. A. Mitten, representing
their management. We have reached
an understanding that all disputes of
the past shall be buried and that we
will cooperate in the future on the
basis that will establish better con-
ditions for all who are interested in
the transportation question.
"The basis we have outlined we feel
will bring to the riding public a per-
feet, cheap and satisfactory system
of transportation that will answer all
requirements.
Second, we feel it will bring to the
management an assured reliable and
permanent business.
Third, that it will bring to the en-
ployes who follow this occupation bet
ter wages, a higher standard of liv-
ing and in the end joint ownership
and management of the properties on
which we work.
ut is a new step in the industrial
undertakings in America, but we feel
We understand one another thoroughly
and that the spirit of cooperation will
develop fully, fairly and honestly.
While it will take time and patience
to work it out, feel both sides thor
oughly understand one another and
we have great hopes for the plan in
the future"
May Mean Victory on InterbOrough
An important factor is pointed out
by the Philadelphia Trade Union
News, to which goes the distinction of
having first published the fact that an
understanding had been reached. The
News points out the possibility that
T. E. Mitten may be called upon to
take over the Interborough properties
in New York, placing them under Nit
ten management. This would at once
relieve the situation in New York and
bring the differentiation agreement
into operation. The Mitten- Mahon
agreement stipulates that it shall ap-
ply on all properties to come under
Mitten management hereafter. Thus
New York, from traction standpoint,
would Immediately be changed from
an anti-union city to union city.
1t appears that the Mitten- Mahon
agreement brings under the workings
Of the new understanding many of the
features developed by Mitten, but
brings to Mitten cooperation on the
part of the employees that could not be
developed without the sense of secur-
ity and independence that unioniza-
tion brings to workers. Working
agreements and standards of work
will be matter of local agreement.
When the union votes authority for
so doing, Mitten management will col

MASS STUPIDITY
IN TAX COLLECTING
By FRANK E. WOLFE

There is something wrong with the
income tax system. Not a startling
statement. There is always some
thing wrong with all tax laws.
In this case it is being pointed out
that the income tax from more than
100000 persons in the United States
cost the government more to collect
than their total tax amounts to.
1t is stated that while theee
payers paid an average of on %,
the handling of their retur and
the administrative expenses il lved
amounted to an average of more than
$3.50.
Of course the same situation holds
in regard to the thousands whose re-
turns are defectively made out and
are sent back for revision or for in
vestigation. Even when an error is
found that involves a small sum the
cost of collecting it far exceeds the
amount.
A large portion of this loss could be
eliminated by the simple expedient of
raising the limit on the small mans
exemption and stop worrying him for
returns when he doesn't make the
limit.
When this suggestion is brought up
before those in the seats Of the
mighty you will find there a counter
plea for reduction Of the surtaxes
and exemptions for the very rich.
If grocer should adopt a system
of collections that would cost him
$1.10 for every dollar collected people
would call him an imbecile, but the
government does the same thing
thus proving that there Is collective
imbecility as we'll as individual idiocy

LESSON XIII

1EIoSON ALL
Labor is forced from time to time
to take a position on questions of ma
tional policy-foreign relations, do
mestic controversies, economic meas

There are always many people ready
to offer quick and simple remedies.
Many PHILOSOPHERS will be expound-
ed, and many skeletons will be rat
tied, and many revelations will be
offered. But infallibility is not given
to mortal man or mortal woman for
that matter. Therefore, the best we
can do is to bring to bear upon each
decision all the pertinent and avail
able facts that throw light upon it.
That may seem somewhat prosaic but
believe that it holds more of prom
Use than multitude of creeds. There
