The hours per day spent by the

creased despite the fact that thou
sands of miners are unemployed
Umpire German of the Cancellation
board has ruled that it is viola
ton Of the agreement for a miner
to stay less than the full eight hours
in the mine. 1t is evident that after
the expiration of the agreement the
coal operators intend to use this
decision as a basis for lengthening
the working hours and abolishing
the eight-hour day.
Abolish Contractor System.
The contract system, established
with the aid Of the Lewis machine
is curse. 1t divides the mine
workers into contractors and labor
ers. 1t creates corruption and dis
sension. 1t means greater robbery
of the mine workers and bigger
profits for the mine owners. The
contractor system is used to bride

Of the mine workers.
The contractor system is enc of

Huge Mergers.
In 1928, seven anthracite COM
Ipanies owned and controlled be-
tween 70 and So per cent of all
hard coal mines. Since then more
mergers have taken place. These
mergers are closely connected with
the big railroad companies and with

of capital have but one object
