Consigning of
Apples Hurt
Trade Affected by Too Liberal Feed
Inn of the Markets.
By Hymaa H. Cohen
Recent improvement in the apple de
mand throughout the country forced val
ues too high at both primary and selling
centers and the result is that, with the
exception of a few pieces, the general
trend of the trade is weaker 'and in
uome Instances lower.
K. O. B. Kales at primary points are
scant and heavy consignments continue.
This latter phase of the situation is per
haps the most serious of all because
such consignments have forced more ap
ples upon an already overfilled trade
than it could take care of without shad
ing quotation.
The tyinsignment feature is always a
detriment to upple growers and this
year, with the Pacific Northwest's great
est crop, It Is causing pressure against
values at all the leading consuming
points.

LABOR FEDERATION
TO BACK STRIKE
OF COAL
President Gompers, Joins With
- Executive Council in Pledg
ing Support to Coal Miners.
COURT CALLED AUTOCRATIC
In Giving Funds to Strikers Par
ent Organization May Lay Itself
Open to Court Contempt.
Washington, 'ov. 10 Vresident Gom
pers and the members of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor Sunday Issued a statement In
dorsing the coal miners' strike and
pledging the full support of the federa
tion to the miners' cause.
The statement followa:
"The executive council of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, called into
special session in the city of Wash
ington for the express purpose of con
sidering the coal Btrike, the conditions
which brought on the strike as well as
the court proceedings brought by the
government, submit to our fellow citi
aens and to our fellow workers the fol
lowing statement:
"The executive council is of the opin
ion that the officers of the United Mine
Workers of America did everything in
their power to avert this great indus
trial controversy. Of all the great in
dustries in our country, there is none
so dangerous to human life as the coal
Industry. The men who go down under
the ground to dig coal so that the do
mestic and industrial needs of the na-
. . - ,
; uon may oe Huppneu, sis e.ifcBseu in
work more hr-.zardous than any other
employment. Due consideration has
never been given to tne danger sur
rounding the coal miners.
LIFE FELL OF MONOTONY
"There is no other class of employ
ment where each individual worker is
so isolated anil in whose districts there
is such a lack of opportunity for social
Intercourse and enjoyment. The condi
tion of the miner and his family is such
that he. is practically deprived, not only
of sunshine and fresh air, but to a cer
tain extent he is deprived of the asso
ciation and companionship of all other
human beings outside of his own par
tlcular class, who are themselves en
gaged in the dangerous and unhealthy
occupation of coal mining.
"The miners su'fer -more than any
other workers from periods of compul
sory unemployment. Authentic statis
tics show that the miners have less than
200 daya of employment during eucli j
year. The wages of the miners ckiikc;- I
nuentlv. hnvintr to Knreurl rsir h( citim i
year, are greatly reduced, as a result
of the non-employment existing in fiat
Industry. The high coet of living has
presented itself in perhaps a more neri
ous form in isolated mining camps than
In large industrial centers.
MEN ORDERED STRIKE
"There is usually not the same oppor-
'"liny iur trie mineral 111 ine milling
camps to make their purchases to such
advantage as is presented in other lo
calities. Their isolation prevents this.
The United Mine Workers. In their con-
1 vention held during the month of Sep
tember in the city of Cleveland, adopted
a resolution declaration demanding im-
proved conditions of ew?!oyment for
the miners. They further Instructed the
officers to proceed to obtain by nego
tiation with the operators, the working
conditions that the convention unani
mously demanded.
"There were almost 200 delegates
seated In the convention, representing
I 500,000 organized miners. They further
positively and explicitly instructed their
I officers that unless an agreement was
! reached on or before the first day of
! November, 1919, that the resolution of
the convention calling for a strike on
November 1, 1919, should be communi
cated to the membership.
EMPLOYERS WERE SILENT
"There was no alternative except for
i the officers who are elected by the mem
! bershlp to carry out the direct lnstruc
j Hons of the membership or resign from
their positions as officers, in which event
i chasa and nnnfualnn wnulH t-a 1 1 ! f
"The officers of the mine workers with
j their scale committee entered. Into con-
j ferenees with the operators in the city
1 of Buffalo. They stated at the confer-
I snes that thev htaA full nnu-.r tr nsrnll .
i ate an agreement; in other words, that
thV hnrl t tiA nnwer t n oixa on1 talrA In
the conference. The employers refused
to make any offer whatever,
"Later on, the miners answered th
call of the secretary of labor and further
Pn,i.am. . k ....
of the failure of negotiations and by
order of the convention the strike auto-
matically took effect November I, 1919,
GOVERNMENT TAKES HAXI)
"The machinery which has existed for
years and which haa been successful In
bringing about agreements between the
miners and the operators still exists and
they as representatives of the miners
were, and are, ready and willing to enter
Into negotiations without reservation to
reach an agreement.
"At this time our government Inter- j
Jected itself and applied for an lnjunc- !
Uon.
& A temporary reetraintng order was ;
grantea by a rederal Judge which re
strains the officials of the miners from !
in any way advising their membership ;
on the situation or contributing any of
the moneys of the mine workers to the j
assistance of the men on strike, ailao re
straining them from discussing with or
entering Into any kind of conversation
with their membership on strike.'
ACT10X WITHOUT PBKCEDETiT
"The government proceeded to further
infringe on the rights of miners by re
straining their officers from furthering
the purposes for which the men con
tended, but went further by demanding
from the court an order commanding
the officers of the miners' union to re
call tmd withdraw the strike nolifica-

"Never in the history of our country
has such a mandatory order been ob
tained, or even applied for. by the gov
ernment or by any persons, company or
corporation."
LEVER ACT MISAPPLIED
".Both tiie restraining: order and the
Injunction, insofar as its prohibitory
features arc concerned, are predlcatd
upon the Lever act, a law enacted by
congress for the purpose of preventing
speculation and Drofiteerina: of the. food
and fuel supplies of the country. There
never was in the minds of the congress
In enacting that law or in the mind of
the president when he signed It. that the
Iver act would be applied to workers
in case of strikea or lockouts. The food
controller. Mr. Hoover, specifically so
stated. Members of the committee hav
ing the bill in charge have in writing
declared that t was 'not in the minds
of the committee, and the then attor
ney general. Mr. Gregory, gave assur
ance that the government would not ap
ply that law to the workers' effort to
obtain improved working conditiona.
Kvery assurance from the highest au
thority of our government waa given
that the law would not be so applied.
n the course of President Wilson's
address to the Buffalo convention of the
American Federation of Iabor, Novem
ber, 1917, among other things he said:
"LABOR M EST BE FREE
" 'While we are fighting' for freedom,
we must see among other things, that la
bor is free, and that means a number
of interesting things. It means not only
that we must do what we have declared
our purpose to do, see that the conditions
of labor are not rendered more onerous
by the war, but also that we shall see
to it that the instrumentalities by which
the conditions of labor are Improved are
not blocked or checked. That we must
do.'
"The autocratic action of our govern
ment in these proceedings is of such a
nature that It staggers the human
mind. In a free country to conceive of
a government applying for and obtain
ing a restraining order prohibiting the
officials of a labor organization from
contributing their own money for the
purpose of procuring food for women and
children that might be starving Is some
thing that when known will shock the
sensibilities of men and will cause re
sentment. Surely the thousands of men
who are lying in France, under the soil,
whose blood was offered for the freedom
of the world, never dreamed that so
shortly afterwards in their own country
450,000 workers endeavoring, to better
their working conditions would have the
government decide that they are not
entitled to the assistance of their fel
low men, and their wives and children
should starve, by order of tho gov
ernment. INJUNCTION ATTACKED
"It was a well established . principle
that the inherent purpose of the injunc
tion processes, where there is no other
, i . , - ,
dsquate remedy at law. was for the pur-
pose of protecting property and property
rights officially, thereby exercising the
equity power of the courts to prevent

the ships will be delivered some time in
December.
Coincident with this news comes fur
ther information in regard to the five
contracts said to have been. let recently
for the construction of 9.'i00-ton steamers
at the plant of the G. M. Standlfer Con-
j struction corporation in Vancouver
From a reliable source this morning
H s reported that the boats will he
built for the' Nafra company of New
York, aim tnat a percentage or the con
tract price has already been paid to the
buildera. No confirmation of any of this
information was available from officials
of the Standlfer company.
As the Standifer company Is. now en-
gaged in completing three vessels under
government contract, it is unlikely that
any starf will be made on the private
business until about the first of the
year, and this would indicate agreement
for delivery in the spring.
