States who demand a price Tor commodities 10
the very limit the traffic will bear. 1t is not too
much 70 say that many of the strikes which are
row affecting the nation were planned and forced
bv the CORPORATIONS for the purpose OF breaking
down the price regulations by keeping goods OH
the market. They could do II in no other way
than bv forcing the workers 10 strike. lhis but
ter situation and the talk on OpA in the Trades
Council brought out all these things. y severe
and sharp rebuke was leveled al some OF the local
OPA officials for It's alleged misireatnent OF some
of the members Of the unions. Whether the local
office was under the thumb Of he Anaconda Cop
per Mining company during the war or not may
be a subject for debate. but that inference was
fairly manifested on the floor.
lust in passing, it has been said recently that
Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Hoover of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company, when their company set
tied with the school district recently, that the
A. c. NJ. might institute a different policy IN re-
lation to its social AMI economic activities. The
old adage Of Greeks come bearing gifts
should be borne in mind, because il the y. \. M.
really wanted to contribute something to Butte
and Montana it should Immediately grant the
miners the modest demands the union is asking.
When if is remembered that money has practi-
calv no value at the present time, and that arti-
cles have doubled and tripled in price, the SIP
the miners are now getting is all out OF proportion
to what workers are being paid in other parts OF
the country. Butte is just the forgotten city.
Rumors coming back from Billings say the
town is booming; that it is quite impossible to get
a room in a hotel or anywhere, and that real
estate is skyrocketing to exorbitant and unreal
heights. What is making the boom appears to
be a riddle, but one factor stands out and that
is the fabulous income of the farmers in eastern
Montana. 1t is a common expression in Billings
thatthe farmers, rather than stay on their places,
come to town to spend their money and stay over
night, which is one of the contributing causes OF
the hotel slut. Farmers Of the u. S. anticipate a
20 billion dollar income in 1916. The national
income is anticipated to reach $50 billion. This
will be the highest income ever reached by any
nation at any time. The farmers may get some
Of it, but the miners Of Butte will get little of it
unless the A. c. M. either voluntarily or in
voluntarily gives up some Of its bullying wealth.

Hines Sees Krug Holding Responsibility
 In Cutting Off Nations Soft Coal Supply

Washington. D. C.-Full responsi- bility for the stoppage in the bituminous coal industry, due to the absence of contract, rests on the shoulders of Interior Secretary Krug as coal administrator, Lewis G. Hines, AFL legislative repre- sentative, told the Nation in an ad- dress over the Columbia Broad casting System.
 "His refusal to honor the terms of contract he negotiated with the United Mine Workers, as well as his desire to follow a course now widely applauded by every exploit CT of labor and every nion-hating employer in the country, has com pletely halted the production of bituminous coal" MT. Hines de- clared.
 If the Government assumes re- sponsibility for any industry, MT. Hines explained, it transfers it's ac- tivities from the political to the economic field, and has the same responsibilities and duties as any. other employer. Any admin strator who operates an industry and tries to hedge himself about with governmental sovereignty is merely providing a cloak for arbi- trary denial of rights of workers. He added:
 Administrator Krug could not escape knowing the miners prac- tice of refusing to work without a contract. Nor can we call that practice unreasonable or unbusi- neSslike. Instead of attempting to meet the consequences of his own policy, he persuaded the Admins tration to seek special privilege and secure the aid denied other employers under similar conditions. He asked court of equity to pro- vide relief for the situation re- sulting from his own actions"
 But court injunctions, in viola tion of the Norris-LaGuardia Act, MT. Hines warned, twill not pro- duce coal, but, on the other hand, will add only insult to injury and set pattern that may harrass the organized labor movement for a long time"
 Citing the war record of the members of the United Mine Workers, MT. Hines declared:
 Soldiers with bayouets would be greeted by the membership of the UNIV with chagrin and dismay, es- pecially in view of their enviable record of service to the Nation in the last war when 162, ,137 carried bayonets in defense of their coun- try; when 3,345 of them made the

Capital Wrought Up Oucr Racial Equality Question

Just now Washington Is facing something of crisis over the ques- ton of racial equality. The city's principal theaters refuse to admit colored people, and recently num- Der of leading producers and actors and actresses declared they would withhold productions from the na- tion's capital until the ban is lifted. Nothing serious has happened up to date, but there has been an awful lot of talk.
 The champions of the Negroes have taken an aggressive attitude, and their views are reflected in a report of a citizens committee, which held that racial segregation and discrimination in recreation

They insisted that Uncle Sam had been mercilessly gouged, and that the Maritime Commission, in charge of construction, and domin- ated by Admiral Emory Land, had done little or nothing to protect the government.
 For all the results they achieved. Aiken and Wigglesworth might have saved their breath. The ship ping interests were too powerful for them.
 Last summer the House Merchant Marine Committee, which is headed by the conservative Congressman Otis Schuyler Bland GDem.. Va), started a perfunctory inquiry, but dropped it when the operators of the companies testified that esti- mates of their profits had been ex- aggerated.
 Now, beIatedly, the facts are coming out. The House Merchant Marine Committee has released Maritime Commission report which shows that Aiken and Wiggles- worth knew what they were talk Ing about.
 Nineteen firms, with invested
 capital of $22,979,275, made
 profits of $356,O66,612 on war
 contracts, the Commission re-
 vealed.
 Profits were said to range from

and health facilities should be abo1- ished. Congress was urged to adopt a flair practices" act for the District of Columbia.
 The report caused a great deal of dissension among committee members. They were not of one mind, by any means.
