COAL MINERS ARE WINNING so FAR

WHETHER you like John L. Lewis personally
W or not, the coal miners have already won a
substantial victory which neither the Admlnlstra-
ton nor the mine owners like to recognize and
about which newspapers are strangely silent.
1t amounts to guaranteed $1,000 week in
crease in pay
When the President took over the coal mines,
he put Harold Ickes in charge. Whether 1ckes and
Lewis reached an agreement is immateral. The
fact remains that Ickes ordered the mine man
agement to employ miners six days week.
"Pooh, pooh' said the mine owners, 1--WE are
already working six days a week."
The answer to that is that the mines were
working six days but the miners were not. Shifts
were so arranged that the miners didn't work
six consecutive days. And so they didn't get paid
for the sixth day. With overtime it meant $10.50.
To the owner it meant saving Of $3.50 on each
miner each week. because the government had
allowed him to charge extra % cents ton
to cover the extra cost of overtime for the sixth
day
That $1O.50 in the miners pocket is extra cash
that is guaranteed by the government as long as
Ickes runs the mines.
are back at work.
For that and other reasons the miners would
like to keep Ickes as their boss.
For that and other reasons the operators
would like to get Ickes off their necks. Many now
admit that they made a mistake in refusing to
negotiate terms with John l.. Lewis. They thought
his neck was in moose, War Labor Board moose.
Wrong moose, wrong neck, oh heck!

CONSISTENCY

WE CERTAINLY wish that the daily papers
" around this neck of the woods would take the
time and trouble to read some of their own stories
and find out what is going on in the world.
Week after. week they drum the story at the
general public that labor is failing to do it's part
in the war effort and then they make the mistake
of carrying releases about turning out Liberty
Ships in ten days. or breaking records in steel pro-
duction, or setting all time highs in all manufac-
turing
We don't know whether the persons who write
those editorials bother to find out what really
is going on but we can help but wonder if they
think that all of this production is being turned
out by INTENDED machines or without human toll
being involved.
Naturally, it will do us no good to hope but we
can't help but wish that the dailies would be con
sistent-ether come out and battle labor in the
open and with no holds barred, or quit the repre-
hensible practise of praising on one page and
blasting on another.
If they can't tell the people the truth-and
they certainly haven't so far-they might just as
well close up shop and get it over with-for that
truth will come out some day and they are going
to be in, a very peculiar position trying to explain
away their former falSehOOds.

AMERICAN FRIENDS NOTE
PASSING OF MRS. WEBB

Washington, d. c. GLNS). = News
of the death of Mrs. Sidney Webb, at
her home in Liphook, Hampshire, Eng
land, was noted by many here and
elsewhere in the United States. Mrs.
Webb had been ill only ten days.
The Webbs, Sidney and Beatrice.
were noted writing team through
more than three decades. Devoted So
cialistS, the Webbs wrote on economics,
politics and the cooperative movement.
AS Il LabOrite, Sidney Webb served
in three British parliaments and on
numerous commissions. In 1929, Sid
ney Webb became chairman of the
Labor hrty.
The Webbs had many friends in the
United States and they entertained
many American visitors. The American
Labor Mission to Great Britain and
the other Allied nations during the
World War was entertained by the
WebbS and there has been>a steady
flow of visitors to them during most
of the years since then.
In earlier years the Webbs worked
with George Bernard Shaw in found
ing the Fabian Society, which had Il
considerable influence in England, prin-
cipally just before and during the
early nineteen twenties.

/ ABOR WANTS to prevent imitation. 1t knows
- the dangers to the workers standard of liv-
ing when prices rise faster than wages.
So organized labor has cooperated willingly
with the Presidents program for stopping infla-
tion has accepted wage freezes and job freezes
whenever it seemed they might check initiation or
help win the war
Some Of the rules laid down by inexperienced
office holders in government bureaus too
ridiculous to merit compliance. Labor does right
to try to correct those who do more harm than
good.
But when some of the stooges for big busi-
ness talk hypocrticaly about Equality of sacri-
fice," when they talk about putting increasingly
heavier taxes upon the lower income groups in
order that the taxes of the rich may be lghtened,
our gorge rises
If you want some interesting reading, take the
latest survey of war industries made by the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission. 1t shows lead
ing American war industries making net profits
of as much as 1873 per cent of invested capital 1t
shows the War Department efecting savings on
contracts through refunds or price reductions on
hagrantly excessive charges of $1,O450OO,00 600
from April 1912 to the end of January 1913.
Profits up Dividends up.
Some of it is all to the good, even while some
of it is very bad Our capitalistic system will never
be perfect but we can do our part to keep it from
getting too bad, too topheavy, too monopolistc.
We need to keep right on pressing for a fair divi-
sion of the profits of industry between manage
ment and labor and capital

"A SUCKER FOR A LEFT HOOK"

IS A SUCKER for a left hook is ring talk
You can emphasize the left" of it when
talking about Mrs. Roosevelt
She now admits she has been a sucker for the
Communists. The various 'front" organizations
have done neat job of using her position and her
sympathy for the underdog to pull Communist
chestnuts out of the fire. Her fingers are burnt.
Last week in talking to the United Student
Assembly in New York City, she sharply criti-
cized the Young Communist League for "a GUS
tom of using people to carry out aims of the young
Communist groups who did not honestly disclose
themselves"
"'rhat" she said, 1--WE cannot tolerate in a
democracy
She said she had "lost confidence in the
league"
1t is high time Mrs. Roosevelt got her eyes
|opened We agree with Mrs. Roosevelt that being
la radical is no sin. Many persons in the labor
movement have been called radicals, and worse.
But no loyal American citizen should associate
himself herself with individuals who profess
Ito be Americans but who take orders from an
|other government They are the stuff that spies

STANDARD GETS A RAISE
YOU DIDN'T read about this in the da

YOU DIDN'T read about this in the daily news
papeis-and there's a reason.
Standard Oil of California got raise of Is
cents barrel for oil furnished to the navy, an in
crease Of only 25 per cent over the Pearl Elarbol
price.
An OPA official down in California explained it
this way: "You see, if the price wasn't increased
then the companies would make other products
in which there is greater profit
There's no freeze to keep Standard turning
out oil for the navy at the same old price. The
freeze only applies to Standards employees.
Would YOU call it a sitdown strike if Standard
had refused TO keep right on furnishing oil to the
navy for the old price? Anyway, OPA decided
to encourage greater production by granting
the raise. It's funny how that works, isn't 1t
Production is encouraged by granting price in
creases so companies like Standard make
bigger profits out Of the war, but increases in
wages to Boeng workers would be "innationary.'
Maybe it depends who gets the raise, as to
whether it is inilationary or not It's all very com
picated-and difficult.
Incidentally, Standard paid $28OO0,00O in divi-
dends to stockholders since Pearl llarbor The in
crease in price to the navy should net the stock
holders another nice dividend.
BY the way YOU didn't see this in your daily
newspapers because the daiieS get fat chunks of
advertising from Standard.

SMALL PRICE FOR FREEDOM

ONCE AGAIN the enemies of labor has sue
ceeded in handing the workers Of this country
real kick in the pants A few days ago the Senate
approved the anti-union bill sponsored by Senator
Tom Connally from Texas. Soon it will be con-
sidered by the House of Representatives, which
is reported in mood to pass bill OF some kind.
After the last World War; organized labor
pulled together to drive reactionaries out Of public
life. We did such good job that even men like
Connally were anxious to be known rs friends OF
the abOring man..
While we feel that the recent outbursts Of
John l.. Lewis and the widespread hysteria whip
ped up over the short-lived suspension of coal
mining was largely responsible for such measures
being introduced we protest the workers OF this
country being made the victims of feeling and
passion created by an incident over which they
had no control.
There are 10000, 900 organized workers in the
United States. With their wives and adult mem
bers of their families, they constitute an army
capable Of sweeping such denlagogues as Connally
of Texas off the political map.
In every Local Union of the National Brother
hood of Operative POtterS committee should be
named to see that every member and the mem
bers of his or her family are registered. That's the
first step, but it is the most important step! Once
registered, it will be comparatively easy to get
them to the polls on election day

BIDDLE Is NO RIDDLE

ATTORNEY GENERAL Francis Biddle has not
begun puSsyfootng with Communists just be-
cause we are fighting Germany on the side Of
Russia. He still does not like Americans who take
orders from a foreign country or from a foreign
organization intent upon the destruction of democ-
racy. He speaks his mind freely.
Biddle warned ClO Textile Workers last week
that communist infItration into labor unions sis
still problem" Daily Worker (CommunisD re-
porter asked:
''Do YOU believe that Communst-infuenced
unions not democratc?"
"Do YOU think Communist policies are demo-
cratic?" retorted Bidde.
Remember that the FBl takes orders from
Biddle and that Biddle is in a position to know
something about Communists. He also knows
about labor He is a liberal so the entire country
and workers in particular can be thankful that
the man charged with the administration Of JUS
tice knows the difference between Communist
and an aggressive trade unonist.

HARRISON SAYS CONTROL
OF PRICES HUGE JOKE"

st. Louis GLNS). - While labor
heartily approved price stabilization
because ii knew the dangers of intia-
ton, the government has failed to keep
its promise to labor that it would
control prices and establish parity be-
tween prices and wages George Nj.
Harrison, president of the brotherhood
of Railway and Steamship Clerks, told
the S26 delegates to the quadrennial
convention.
I'VE will make our sacrifices, but we
demand every other element of society
must make an equal sacrifice for the
winning of the war"
Mr.. Harrison cited a 256 per cent
rise in the price of potatoes and 200
per cent increase in cabbage prices as
evidence of price eXtOrtion.
