COAL OPERATORS
HAVE ONLY WAGE
CUTS TO OFFER
Otherwise the Owners
Conference Is
a Failure
BY ANNA ROCHESTER,.
tAuthor of Labor and CoaD


That the coal operators are totally
indifferent to the problems of the
mine workers and ready to increase
unemployment and cut wages still
lower in order to raise their profits,
stood out with special clearness in
the discussions at the Third Interna-
tional Conference on Bituminous
Coal. held in Pittsburgh last month.
In the Sc plans presented for "sav-
ing" the coal industry, outstanding
aims were Limitation of production.
control of prices, and increased con-
solidation of coal companies. But
the desire for competition-freedom
from strong interests to DESTROY
weaker interests-was in sharp con-
flict with any polite agreement on
production and prices.
Collective bargaining and arbitra-
ton to prevent strikes were the only
recommendations on labor relations.
Most Of the operators plans include
no reference to the workers, except
that they would involve more unem-
ployment, more speed-up, and more
wage cuts.
No Decision Reached.
Instead Of coming to a decision,
the conference gave the following
possible points for consideration by
operators and the governors of coal
states: l. A commission appointed by
governors to consider solutions. 2.
Regulation of the industry to favor
low cost operators. 3. Discontinuance
of the sale of coal below cost. 4. Ap-
pointment of dictator to run the
industry. 5. Some kind of federal
board to fix production and prices.
Mellon, Morgan and Rockefeller
interests dominated the advisory
board which endorsed this confer
ence.
Another group, the National Coal
Association, in which many of the
larger coal producers are not repre-
sented, endorsed early in December
a plan for organizing twenty soft
coal districts, in each of which the

Two COney Island
Bread Pickets Taken
Away From Cops

A large, militant crowd gathered
around two women pickets Of the
Coney Island bread strike yesterday
morning, whom policemen, trying to
intimidate the strikers, wanted to ar
rest. However, the pressure of the
crowd was strong enough to rescue
both women from the clutches of the
cops.
The Strike Committee of the Coney
Island bread strike urges all unem-
ployed and others, who can spare
time, to report to headquarters early
this morning for various assignments.
The cases of the eleven recently
arrested pickets came up for
trial in the Magistrates Court,

Strikers are making good progress
and are nearer success today than
any other time. The Committee

stop at nothing to further their own

sooner all workers can decide as
Comrade 0augh has done in the
quotations taken from his letter
quoted below the sooner will they be
better off.
I quote, in part, Conrade Gaughs
letter to his brother:

Ambition.

1t is generally supposed that one
should be ambitious: that one should
entertain the idea that one must get
ahead in this world. This snppositior
is strong in America. Parents, teach
ers and successful acquaintances con-
tinually suggest the ambition cult.
As a matter of fact, ambition has
ruined many a man. Many person!
mistake their ambitions for their ma.
tive abilities Never able to get these
two things Strengthened out. they be-
come involved in ventures which they
cannot complete. After a few rebuffs
they mistake their shortcomings for
opposition on the part Of the social Or
der in general. Confused again, they
are likely to become militant, sometimes
unconsciously going in for shortcuts
which pave the way to crime.
Statistics show that most criminals
are weaklings who have been over
ambitious. At the same time they gen.
orally overevaluate their abilities.

the bacon is cooked, and while still
piping hot. pour gradually into the pan
one-half to three-fourths cup of boil
ing hot vinegar. Stir the bacon and
vinegar mixture and pour boiling hot
over the lettuce Toss the lettuce with
a fork to get all mixed well. Have

the lettuce with these slices and serve
Immediately while steaming hot.
Cut the cabbage into shreds, as for
coleslaw. Put two scant tablespoon
fuls of butter into a frying pan, and
when steaming hot, put in the shredded
cabbage. Stir briskly for few moments
until cabbage is tender. Season with
little salt and pepper. and serve imme-
diately. Other green leaf vegetables
can be cooked in the same way.
In Sweden, lettuce Is cooked ano
served thus. A delicious sauce to pour
over either the cabbage or lettuce is
made by heating cupful of thin cream
to the boiling point. and adding two
tablespoonfuls of vinegar or lemon juice
to 1t. Add the acid slowly to the cream
after it is boiling hot. Season this
sauce with salt. pepper and very Ut

call smiling yet, for the water was still
almost to the top of the banks and the
current was swift and the water was
somewhat muddy. But Jerry knew
that the flood was over and that the
water would steadily 60 down and be-
come clear Then the Smiling Pool
would smile whenever jolly, round,
bright Mr. Sun shone.
Jerry first looked for his house in the
Smiling Pool but there was no sign OF
it. It did not surprise him, for the
water was still so deep that he hardly
expected even the top of the roof to
show. Then he looked over TO the bank
where his other house was and there he
saw Mrs. Jerry sitting on the end OF a

over at once.

was gone from his voice.
