SEA MASTERY TO
BE FOUGHT OUT
JINGOES ASSERT
Another War With England
Foreseen by Yankee

--
By HARVEY O'CONNOR
WASHINGTON— (FP) — To one
section of Washington the boom-
ing of the big guns of the Ameri-
can and Briiish navies clashing for
world power can be becrd distinct-
ly over the diplomatic rumblings of
the Geneva naval "limitation" con-
ference To them Geneva is the
prelude to the third British-American
war which can end only in
America's undisputed mastery of
the seas
Officials Jubilant
All of official Washington hi
heartily relieved and gratified by
the approaching breakup of the
conference The state department
which has followed the navy's lead
throughout in framtng the Ameri-
can proposals and in conducting the
negotiations was never enthualas-
tic over Coolidge's grandstand play
to the peace-loving folks out west
on the prairies
The navy department was suspi-
cious from the first and insisted on
being allowed to frame all policies
The commerce department which
bolds back the hasty hand of the
state department when it is about
to strike on Latin-America or
China loses no love on the Brit-
ish America'a chief trade rival
A !lead-on Clash
With the British government
dominated by a hitter Tory clique
whose favorite song is "Britannia
Rules the Waves" the two delega-
tions appeared In Geneva as irre-
sistible forces Intent on head-on
clash Admirals ruled the rowit in
both camps one set insistent on
keeping sea power and the other on
achieving parity as the first step
toward supremacy
Navy Planned
Big navy men are Jubilant not
merely because Geneva nas failed
to achieve limitation but because
it is practically a warrant on con-
gress to appropriate up to half a
billion dollars within a few years
on cruiser construction
Armor plate boys are naturally
satisfied too Persistent reports
'from Geneva tell of an American
armor plate propagandist who sedu-
lously cultivated animosity between
the British and American delegates
flaunting the chauvanistic utter-
ances of the 100 per cent patriotic
papers under their noses The
British especially were riled at the
America ueber alles editorials ap-
pearing in the New York and Wash-
ington Pullers
To Crush Revolt
Part of the American press re-
fuses to believe that the British
light cruiser demand on which the
conference is -eaking is ahned at
the United States They declare the
light cruisers are not offensive
weapons in big navy clashes but
rather cornineree raiders and revolt
crushers The British are aiming
their cruiser fleet against the So-
viet Union and the peril of an Ori-
ental uprising striking at the heart
of the empire according to the
Washington representatives of one
newspaper chain
The Commercial Angle
On the other hand there is gen-
eral agreement that Bcitain is fight-
ing a desperate trAe war against
the United States in Latin-America
and the far east The world war
was fed out of a similar German-
British rivalry and there is noth-
ing in the history of nations and
particularly that of Britain with
her record against Spain Holland
France and Germany to indicate
that America and Britain m ill not
become involved in a similar war
Fiske Preabesies War
Admiral Brachey Flake hero of
naval Nictories ON er the Brazilians
Chileans and Filipinos has other
ideas of America's naval future
"The foreign ebt problem of the
United States" lio‘ says "will be
settled in favor of our creditors by
another world war Within 25 years
we will be fit Wit! with Japan over
the Philippines France and Italy
will be quick to Join forces Nith
Japan and wipe out iMr indeoted-
nese by twennling conquerors An-
'other worid war is certain -within a
quarter century and the United

ture" "England Nentrar
Japan Fiske predicts w ill be
forced by ecnomic pressure to
seize the Philippines which the
navy cannot defend because the
United States has agreed to estab-
lish no adequate fortifications
there England in the next world
war will remain neutral and profit
by selling to both shies he thibks
"I have never thought war as
bad as many have male it out to
be" adds Fiske "It is like FIIT
gery It looks horrible in action
but It teally does a lot of good
Progress owes a lot to war"

"Coal River" Mines
Go Into Bankruptcy
CHARLESTON W Va -- The to the public eye shortly after its
sions They assert that the varioua
statements are misleading and con-
ttudictory and will explain by facts
and by statements of Indiana coal
operators themselves
Condition Not New
They contend that 1920 was the
dividing point and prior to that
time the Indiana coal industry was
able to meet competition and de-
velop but since 111i they have lost
what they had (except a few thou-
sand dollars which they will lose
In misleading a dvertising) yet
their same argument about non-
union production of West Virginia
and Rentucky had been used in
Joint conferences in many years
prior to 1920
The production record for the
years from 1914 and including 1926
shows that Indiana has held its
proportionate share of production
in the United States
In 1914 Indiana produced 16641-
A32 tons and in 1926 production
was 22839000 tons
1itO Ilas Peak Tear
It is noted that in 1916 and dur-
ing and immediately following the
war period Indiana enjoyed an ab-
normal market as did all other
mining states and the year 1920
which the operators take as a basis
of their normal year was a peak
year for Profits
The labor costs as iriTen by
the operators themselves in re-
ports to the state department of
mines and mining for the year
1920 was SI40 per ton and
their statement 2o 8 of their
advertising show s that 80 per
cent of the troduction cost of
coal is Ike labor cost 12 per
cent for supplies and 8 per cent
for general expenses hence the
'Wished cost would be $175 in
MO and during this period
mo4t of the coal shipped was
sold front LI to $ S per ton
'Many operators refused to ship
on i:ontract to regular custom-
ers It was a banner year and
it can easily be recalled what
coal sold for to the consumer
All statements of the operators
are to the effect that wage
scales of mines in Indiana prevent
tbep from operating and we here
show government reports on pro-
duction of coal for week ended July

Morrison Hints
That Communists
Prefer To Rest
WASHINGTON — Commun-
ists don't think that working-
men should work If there is
anything to a story told by
Frank Mrorison secretary of the
American Federation of Labor
The story follow A mandarin (member of the
Chinese aristocracy) arose to
address 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 d
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
Mi liers 1Sot to Blame
The mining Industry is vastly
over-developed This over-development
is to a great extent due to
the capital invested and 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-
ings of the miner in the best year
from 1912 to 1926 is only $1450 and
this wage is far better than states
which the operators cite as their
idt -I example Many of the ruines
that 0 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
development of the coal industry
in Kentucky and West 'Virginia We
hold that from 1916 to date the in-
dustry in Indiana has developed far
greater than either Kentucky and
West Virginl:A in 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
West Virginia than you will end in
Illinois or Indiana and there are
more coal companies by far that
have gone in bankruptcy in Ken-
tuck' and West Virginia than you
will find in Illinois or Indiana
Coal Rates liesponsibie
The mine workers cannot assume
the burden of over-developed cut-
throat competition and railroad-
controlled industry We assert that
it is not wage schedules as held by
the Indiana operators that is hurt-
ing the Indiana coal industry but
we are handicapped by discrimina

In Alabama it is said
tory freight rates fixed by politi-
cians aid railroad companies
Since 1915 the freight rates on
coal from Kentucky and Vest Vir-
ginia to the Chicago markets have
been increased 1t:t about 60 per
cent while during this same period
the rates on Indiana coal have been
Increased over 107 per cent
Mr Bcntly traiDe manager for
the Illinois Steel Company testified
at a government hearing on freight
rates that the low rates of coal
from eastern Kentucky and West
Virginia to the Chicago district
were made in order to enable the
steel mills in the Chicago district
to develop in competition with
oille in the Pittsburgh district
Their On n Words
Indiana operators and members
of the Indiana Bituminous Coal Op-
erators associatIon testifying at a
freight rate hearing 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 fields 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 Worker in
their control of labor costs"
Another member of the operators'
association testified: "I have had
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-
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"
Railroads Aro Factor
The politicians and Lie railroads
are controlling the freight rate sit-
uation and are attempting to reduce
the mining industry of Indiana to
the level of the non-union fields
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
statistics recently men loading
coal in the non-union fields in Ten-
nessee received an average of about
$2768 per month while the Indiana
loaders received $8125 per month
In the year 1926 This shows that
the union miners are making more
money than the non-union min-
ers while they work less This
of course absolutely contradicts the
advertising of the operators as to 1
the prosperity of the non-union
miner
Why don't they impress the pub-
lic with facts on freight discrimina-
tion that they testify to under oath
and show that the coal industry of
Indiana is not getting a "aquare
deal" in freight rates?
Industry Hazardous
The mining industry is one of the
most hazardous industries in Amer-
ica and the toll of human life given
to society through this industry has
been appalling In the United
States of America the human sac-
rifice is more than twice as great
for men employed as will be found
in any other mining country on the
face of the globe Two great ex-
I plosions occurred in the mines in
'Indiana in 1925 and 1926 and in the
twinkling of an eye 87 lives were
snuffed out leaving many depend-
erts and many others were perma-
nently injured and horribly disfig-
ured In Indiana teat year 4494 in-
juries occurred and this is a de-
cease over previous years
In the last ten years more than
25000 illinerfi have been killed in
this country In 1926 349 miners
' were killed in mine explosions
This does not indicate many fa-
talities in minor explosions killing
less than five men The mine work-
er takes his life in his hands every
time he enters a mine to produce
coal Statistics compiled by the
United States bureau of mines
shows that Indiana from 1915 to
1925 had a fatality rate per one
thousand workers employed of 415
per cent and the fatality rate Is
even greater in the non-union sec-
tions of the United States where
miners have no way to protect
themselves by collecti‘e action but
are dealt with as individuals
Can't Premise Steady Idork
The hazard of mining is great and
the wages earned per annum is dis-
gracefel considering the living
costs and yet the operators are try-
ing to force further reduction and
there ban been no reduction what-
ever in the cost of living The
spokesman of the Indiana coal op-
erators in a letter sent out to the
various coal miners of the state
says: "If a contract were signed
at a less rate the operators could
not promise you steady work If
they did promise they could not
make good" )4e has here told the
truth and thee would not and
could not be any stabilization of
the coal Induatry via a wale re-
duction in Indiana because fur-
ther reductions would be made

have been ready to meet in joint
conference and have invited the op-

but they preferred a scale commit-
tee meeting and in said scale com-
mittee meeting there was no earn-
est effort on the part of the opera-
tors to negotiate a contract and the
meeting was adjourned on a mo-
tion and second by the coal opera-
tors Knowing all the facts the mine
workers cannot conceive of how
any intelligent and fair minded per-
son could figure on stabilizing the
Industry by forcing a reduction in
wages

Hoover Scheme Branded As
Inadequate by Mayor
Thompson
CHICAGO — Herbert Hoover's
flood control plan is inadequate in
the belief of Mayor William Hale
Thompson speaking as chairman
of the Flood Control conference
Mayor Thompson believes that the
problem is too big for one man
to solve and suggests that experts
get together on a plan
Discussing Hoover's plan as re-
ported outlined to Coolidge Mayor
Thompson said:
"Hoover fixes the cost of flood
control at $150000000 to be ex-
pended over a 10-year period
There is nothing with these figures
to Indicate Just how Hoover has
arrived at this figure but there is
a hint that in the Hoover plan we
would continue to follow large'
tho poliey which the gf:Nern
nicut has for some years now been
pursuing
"The Mississippi fiver Commis-
sion now has authority to spend
$10000000 a year for flood control
and the addition of another $5000-
000 a year would mean only a con-
tinuance of our present policy with
a slightly larger increase in
money"
Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania
suggests that civilian engineers re-
place army engineers in studying
river control plane West Point
graduates receive only a fraction
of the engineering training re-
ceived by graduates of other engi-

UNION WINS
VICTORY IN
SUBWAY WAR
Right To Organize System
Won As Strike Is
Called Ott
NEW 'YORK—Three hours at con-
ciliation by Mayor Walker resulted
in the establishment of an armed
truce between the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electrical
Railway Employes and the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company
The lockout-strike vita on the eve
of being ordered when the compro-
mise w as affected Union men are
jubilant The company which had
already begun to discharge union
members was truculent defying
the union to organize in the period
of the truce
Our victory is fundamental We
have gained the right to organize
the lines of the Interborough" was
the conclusion on the mayor's set-
tlement reached by the union or-
ganizers Janvis di Coleman and
Patrick Shea
400 Ask 'Membership
When the agreement of a truce
was announced 400 union applica-
tions were made by Interborough
men Union leaders made it clear
they would protect all members
from discharge and that they had
made no unconditional promise not
to strike
"We agreed" they said to call
off the strike if the companies
agreed that every man discharged
would be restored to his place and
no discriminations would be prac-
ticed against any employe of the
companies because of his sympathy
with or his membership in the
Amalgamated In the event that
the companies violate the agree-
ment we will go directly to the
mayor with the grievance in com-
pliance with a requert made by him
to do so"
Interborongh on Aggressive
The Interborough bad already
taken the aggressive when Mayor
Walker ememoned the officials to a
conference Thirteen union men had
been discharged More than 1500
strikebreakers had been collected
from Chicago Pittsburgh and Phil-
adelphia to run the trains Armed
guards had been emmlled A com-
missary was established in one of
the barns All that remained was
the question of what attitilde the
city would take If the city is with
the company any strike can be Pro-
ken That has bean well estab-
lished Since 1905 22 years the transit
lines in this city have been unor-
ganized Tremendous efforts have
been made Ilendreds of union men
have sacrificed everything to gain a
fair wage and industrial freedom
They were defeated repeatedly be-
cause 30000 policemen were rushed
to the companies' aid while various
mayors were in office No matter
which one was in power the police
were always ready to aid the com-
pany Police Aid Not Certain
With tle I R T and the Brook-
lyn Rapid Transit Company re-
vealed as acting in financial con-
cert against the city's best inter-
ests the company was not certain
of police co-operation
They have had to deal with a re-
lentless prosecutor Samuel Unter-
meyer who has already cited a
number of high officials for con-
tempt for withholding vital infor-
mation Ile has exposed the waste
of funds to break strikes the pay-
ment of bonuses to officials the
wage cutting for the $30 $35 and
$40 men who compose the bulk of
the 23000 traction employes There
was Mayo Walker to consider
with a 16-year labor record to up-
hold who held the key to the situa-
tion With these considerations Frank
Iledley who has broken so many
strikes it is hard to keep count re-
luctantly decided not to force the
union to strike
Conditions of Peace
The conditions of the "hair trig-
ger peace" are these:
1 That 13 men discharged
by the company be reinstated
- 2 That there be no discrimi-
nation for future union activity
of the 13 men five were die-
charged for attending a union mass
meeting The rest WPM dismissed
for refusing to instruct strike-

tions of 'organized labor offer the
only resistance to the rapidly In-
creasing practice of paying wages
by checks Employers almost In-

danger of hold-up robberies The
chamber through Its department of

Labor's objection to the growing
practice arise1 from the Many
losses suffered particularly in the
building trades from fly-by-night
employers whose checks have been
found worthless: DifficullIts in
finding places to cash checks and
in persuading merchants to accept
them are cited as other drawbacks
New Jersey and several other states
forbid payment of wages by check
