member already on atrlke waa upheld
by Huperlor Judgn F ve nut Bnilih In
dismissing a suit for IXOOO damugns
brought by the Pacific Typesetting
company against International Typo
graphical union local No. 202. and Its
officer.
The Hult grew out of a strike in local
Job shop last May, following refusal
of employer to establish the 41 hour
week. Printer employed by the Pn
ciric TyMcttlnft company did not
strike, as a 42 hour week had already
been established , in that plant. A re
mit of the strike was to throw a large
volume of business to tho company
from the shutdown shops. To make
the strike more effective, tha union
railed out the men employed by the
company, '
Judge Hmlth In his decision empha
sized that the objectof tho local union
was not to Injure the Pacific Typeset
ting conipnny, but to benefit Its hiem
hers. ' WASHINGTON, Mar. il. Senator

COAL WORKERS
PiLUAIMED
Managing Director Cushing
T)eclares Under the Present
Wage Scale Miner Can
Make $5000 a Year
Operators in to Win.
WASHINGTON. Mar. 21. Coal oper
ator who face the prospect of a strike
of their employes April 1, but who still
refuse, to enter a national conference
with the coal miners' union are not
controlled by "mere madness" but "a
determination to cure a deep-seated
disorder," George H. Cushing, manag
ing director of the American wholesale
association declared today in an ad
dress before the Washington city club.
Federal court Indictments which
have charged operators of union mines
with conspiracy with the unions in en
deavors to fix coal prices and damage
non-union coal mines were held by Mr.
Cushing as largely responsible for the
unwillingness of the coal operators to
confer.
Mr. Cushing declared that wages
must come down in the mines and he
said this was illustrated "by the amaz
ing fact that under the present system
a miner can earn $5000 a year."
"They know that if the public should
realize how much a practical miner
may earn." Mr. Cushing added, "the
people would refuse to pay the price
for coal which such a wage Bcale fixes.
They know how quickly their rate
would be cut.
"Labor is not striking against the
coal operators, the railroad managers
or the manufacturers, it is striking
against the public The public does
not know to what extent the mine pay
roll has been padded. It does know
that it is compelled to pay a price for
coal against which it rebels.
"The coal operator stands at a point
where he must see the cause on one
side and the effect on the other.' He
has to turn about and fight. He has
decided to strike at the real cause and
he is going into the wage battle to
clean the mines of the shirkers and
the payroll padders."
