Morrison Hints
That Communists
Prefer To Rest
WASHTNGTON — Commun-
ists don't think that workng-
men hou Id work if there is
anything to a story told by
Frank Mrorison secretary of the
American Federation of Labor
The story follows:
A mandarin (member of the
Ctinese arisocracy) arose to
adilress a crowd of communists
In Shanghai His address be-
gan and ended like this:
'My brothers you are work-
ing men:"
"Hurrah!' the crowd shout-
ed 'And being workingmen ---
'Hurrah:"
'You must work"
'Throw him out Down with
him:"
July 3 1926 311000 tons July 4
1925 277000 tons
With the corresponding produc-
tion for this period In 1925 and 1926
Indiana is now almost normal and
this production Is from many of the
high-cost mines of the state that
can operate and meet competition
and make a profit regardless of the
fact that on April 1 there was on
hand more than ninety million tons
of storage coal
Miners Not to Blame
The mining industry is vastly
over-developed This over-development
is to a great extent due to
the capital inveeted tiEnd the opening
of many abandoned mines to take
advantage of war-time prices on
coal It cannot in any way be at-
tributed to the coal miner neither
can the cut-throat competition re-
sulting from over-development be
laid at the "miner's door" but the
operators have enjoyed big profits
on their investment and cannot be
satisfied now with normal pre-war
profits Apparently they do not de-
sire to consider any men employed
in the industry when the peak earn-
Inge of the miner in the best year
from 1912 to 1926 is only $1450 and
this wage is far better than sates
which the operators cite as their
ideal example Many of the mines
that are classified as mines today
would have been abandoned in pre-
war times because they are worked-
out properties or have extremely
bad physical conditions yet some
operators are holding these proper-
ties thinking no doubt that therel
is a chance to get still further prof-
its or that there might be another
war
They Point to Kentucky
Indiana operators are citing the
developmett of the ccal industry
in Kentucky and West Virginia We
bold that from 1916 to date the in-
duetry In Indiana has developed far
greater than either Kentucky and
West Virginia la proportion to the
coal area of each state The over-
development and deplorable condi-
tion caused by cut-throat competi-
tion exists in all mining states
There are more mines that are un-
able to operate in Kentucky or in
Weft Virginia than you will find in
Illinois or Indiana and there are
more coal companies by far that
have gone in bankruptcy in Ken-
tucky and West Virginia than you
will find In Illinois or Indlatia
Coal Bates Responsible
Twe mine workers cannot assume
the bi-rden of over-developed cut-
throat eompetition and railroad-
controlles industry We assert that
It is not wage schedules as held by

the rates on Indiana coal have been
increased over It) Ipt- cent
Mr Bently trafrie manager for
the Illinois Steel Company testified
at a government hearing on freight
rates that the low- rates of coal
from eastern Kentucky and 'Kest
Virginia to the Chicago district

!steel mills in the Chicago district
to develop in competition with
1 in the Pittsburgh district
Their Own Words
I Indiana operators and members
of the Indiana Bituminous Coal Op-
Itrators associVion testifying at a
' freight rate bearing held by the
interstate commerce commission
said: The higher labor costs
(meaning comparison with the non-
union fields) have been a serious
blow to the Indiana coal telds but
it Is less injurious than the changes
in the freight rate relation The
carriers have used their power to
control rates with far less mercy
than the United Mine Workers in
their control of labor costa"
Another member of the operators'
association testined: "I have Lad
considerable to do with the labor
situation in Indiana and Illinois I
know that the labor situation is not
the sole cause of the present condi- i
tion obtaining in the Illinois and
Indiana coal industry Any reduc-
tion of course in the labor scale
would to the extent of that reduc-
tion give some relief but a read-
justment of the freight rates are
even more essential"
iiallroads Are Factor
The politicians and the railroads
are controlling the freight rate sit-
uation and are attempting to reduce
the mining industry of Indiana to
the level of the non-uni-m telds
They deliberately misrepresent liv-
ing conditions in the non-union
mining sections when they adver-
tise that the non-union miners are
happy thrifty and prosperous Ac-
cording to a report made public by
the United States bureau of labor

they would protect all members
