Non Union Coal Company
Plans $l,2OO,OOO Hold Up

Pittsburgh, Pa.-The Pittsburgh
Coal Company demands that home
owners of Mt. Lebanon, a suburb of
this city, pay $1,2oo,00O for permit
ting coal props to remain in the coal
lands owned by the company.
The company mined the coal under
these houses, leaving comparatively
few columns of coal to support the
mine roof. If these pillars are re-
moved, the land will sag and destroy
the homes. The company offers to
sell the coal for $1,200,000. More
than 5000 home owners are affected.
Western Pennsylvania is aroused
over this attempted hold-up, and
every Pittsburgh newspaper con
demns the proposal of a concern that
has total assets Of $171,573,321.

ORGANIZERS
SAVE CHILD

Hamilton, Ont. ULNS)-Here is
an incident proving that labor organ
izers must always be on the alert for
anything.
Organizers Earl White, of the Hos
iery Workers, and Robert Parting
ton, of the United Textile Workers,
on their way to meeting here, saw
child about four or ivfie years old
run from between two houses with
all her clothes blazing. The mother
stood paralyzed with horror not know
ing what to do.
White applied his brakes in hurry
and with Partington jumped to the
street. The two men promptly rolled
the youngster in the street in their
coats and smothered the flames.
Then, pushing the still panic striken
mother into his car, while Partington
carried the child, White broke all
speed regulations in a rush to hos
pital.
AS a result of the prompt action
of the two men, hospital authorities
believe the little girl may live The
child had been playing with matches
and ignited her clothing.

Brookhart Urges Labor to Use
All Powers to End Injunction
Iowa Senator Advocates Strongest Kind of Pressure On
Congress, i'm Speech at Big Chicago Labor Day Cee-
bration-Maguire Sees Shorter Hours Unem-
plOyment Remedy.
By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago ULNS)-One of the un-
derlying causes of the present eco
nomic crisis in this country is that
the banking interests are permitting
the credit resources of the nation to
be used for gambling purposes, de-
clared Smith w. Brookhart, United
States senator from Iowa, in an ad-
dress at the Labor Day celebration
of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
held in the stadium of Soldier Field,
where 100000 persons assembled to
hear the speakers and witness the
field events and colorful parade.
Senator Brookhart denounced the
misuse of the injunction writ in labor
disputes and urged organized labor
to use every resource at its command
to bring pressure to bear upon con-
gress to pass the anti-injunction bill
now pending in the house of repre-
sentatives.
at is an old principle of equity that
an injunction shall not lie where there
is a remedy at law" the senator de-
clared, land there never has been an
injunction issued in a labor dispute
in this country where remedy at
law could not have been found, if a
remedy were needed"
The senator cited instance where
overt acts had been committed by
employers seeking injunction writs.

Buffalo, N. Y.-An unemployment

END OF POVERTY
In Thirty Years, Seen BY
Philanthropist

Peekskill, N. Y. (ILNS)- Speaking
at camp for poor children near
here, on his eighty-second birthday,
August Heckscher, famous philan-
thropist, predicted that in thirty
years the United States will see the
end of dire poverty, disease and un-
necessary suffering.
Proper housing will solve our
problem Heckscher said; proper
housing for the families of the poor,
where crime and disease and all hu-
man ills are bred because the income
can't meet the landlords demands.
Public funds should pay the differ
ence between what the worker earns
and the landlord should receive. New
York city pays millions every year
to preserve the workers scent fare.
1t should pay to preserve his home" :"

DEPARTMENT STORE
Uses Page to Advertise In
creased Pay Roll

New Orleans, La. ULNS)-In order
to combat wholesale reductions of
salaries and the dismissals now in
progress in manufacturing plants
and department stores in New
Orleans and the surrounding terri
tory, L. Feibleman & Co., Inc, de-
partment store, in a page advertise
ment signed by David l.. Cohn, presi-
dent says that this firm will make
every effort to maintain its present
wage scale and expects to offer en-
ployment to more people, with fur
ther salary increases and promotions,
claiming that prosperity and high
standards of living result from good
wages.
Merchandise will be sold at the low
est prices in ten years, says the ad,
thus creating a greater volume of
business, and creating jobs for addi-
tional help. Pay checks will be the
same or larger next month.
The ad quotes George F. Johnson,
president of the Endicott- Johnson
Shoe Company, who says that wage
cutting is not remedy for business

of the United States Steel Corpora

They make up very largely the Gus
toners to whom farmers look for con-
sumers of their products 1t would be

Legge Mistaken, Green Says
To international Labor News Serv-
ice President Green declared that
Legge was mistaken in every particu-
lar and that, in addition to his mis-
use of figures, the record shows labor
to have favored every measure ad-
vanced by the farmers themselves for
their own protection, He made it
clear that the dispute now is with
Legge, not with farmers.
Reached over long distance tele-
phone, Matthew Vol, vice president
of the A. f. of L., called attention to
the fact that Legge, in attacking
wages, is flying in the face of the
Hoover program as laid down in the
presidents conference with trade
union leaders and employers. "The
policy there laid down was that there
must be no wage reductions" said
Mr.. Woll.
International Labor News Service,
for this newspaper, compiled United
States official figures which show
complete misrepresentation by Chair
man Legge, and which show that in
the field of agricultural machinery in
particular ne described a condition
which does not exist.
In the manufacture of agricultural
implements there are United States
government figures by which the
years 1914 and 1927 may be com
pared. In 1914, in the plants report
ed there were 48,459 workers en-
ployed. By 1927 this force had been
cut to 1886 That is what happened
to labor! Fifteen thousand were
turned out, jobless. And 1927 was a
peak prosperity year. In 1914 the
total value of products was S164,087,
600, while in 1927, with $4,000 fewer
workers employed, it has been run
up to $500, ,732 ,0o0
Wages Fall Behind
In the same period cost of ma
terials, supplies, fuel, power, etc,
used rose from S73,509,000 to $685.
100000. And in the same period the
value added by manufacture rose
from $90,578,OOO to $117,066,0OO. The
average wage per worker rose from
paltry STA in 1914 to a moderate
$1,391 in 1927. The ration of wages
to a total value of product changed
from q per cent in 1914 to 22S per
cent in 1927, change of only 1.8 per
cent, shadow of almost invisible
density in the whole cost problem. 1t

HONOR LABOR DAY
FOUNDER

Philadelphia memory of Pc
ter J. Mcclure, union carpenter, and
founder of Labor Day, was honored
by trade unionists who journeyed to
Arlington Cemetery, Camden, N. j.,
where the trade union pioneer sleeps.
Mcclure was active in the local
labor movement, and was a member
of Carpenters Union No. 8. He was
secretary Brotherhood of Carpenters
and vice president A. F. of L.
AS a delegate to the New York
central body he made the motion in
old Clarendon hall, that city, in 1882,
setting aside the first Monday in Sep
tember as labor's holiday.
Two years later the plan was ap-
proved by the A. F. of L. It was
later approved by the various states
and by the United States congress,
which has jurisdiction over the Dis

"This is the same Pittsburgh Coal
Company that broke its contract with
the United Mine Workers, the same
company that subsidized the Pitts
burgh Chamber of Commerce and en-
deavcred to give the appearance of
disintcrested service to its own SELF
ish machinations. 1t is the same coal
company that employed the coal and
iron police to beat John Borkowski
to death"
The coal company was leader in
the movement to smash the Jackson
vile agreement with the United Mine
Workers that it and other leading
coal concerns signed.
Reputation of the agreement was
marked by long and bitter strike in
which methods were used against the
workers that parallel the company's
attempted gouge Of Mt. Lebanon citi-
zens.
