PAGE EIGHT. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE FORMS COAL COMPANY TO BANISH STRIKE Locomotive Egineers Invest Two Million in Coal River Colleries Cleveland 0., Feb. 8—The estab- lishment of coal mining companie “with a soul” was the announced aim \ef Warren S. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and his brotherhood associates when they made $2,000,000 investment in the Coal River colleries company last June. The purchase was made during the coal strike and Mr. Stone announced that “there has never been i in these mines and there n be.” While the brotherhood, as an or- ganization, has nothing to do with this coal mining property yet the mines are owned it, by brother hood members and ident of the company. Revolutionizing the coal mining in dustry through the establishment of a “coal company with a soul” was the aim of the engincers when Mr. Stone and his associates, last Jun Stone is pres- in the throes of the nation-wide coai strike made the two million dollar investment in the Coal River Col licries company. “There has never been a stike in these mines and there never wv be” he said, The mines face the Big andy river near Prestonsburg, Ky., and the Big Coal river in West Virginia Mr. Storie has announced three main points of his associates’ coal proernm. These are: Ideal living and working conditions for miners and the removal of strike danger. Elimination of middlemes'sy profits in distribution through engllifig con sumers to organize their ‘own co- operative yards and to sell to them- selves at cost. Slimination of “watered” stock, promoters’ fees, and preferred stock in the formation of the company. At the very start of the operation of the mines by the engineers and their associates. and before the com pnay paid a dividend, miners were paid more than the highest scale asked by the unions in neighboring mines; labor was lightened by the installation of modern machinery wherever possible and a model vil- lage with modern little homes, schools, churches, stores, amusement buildingsiand modern sanitation were substituted for the average dilapi- dated and drab mining town. Other Brotherhood activities include, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Insurance company which has $180,- (90,000 in policies in force; the Brotherhood Investment company, ten million dollar corporation now in process of formation and the Broth- erhood Printing company of Cleve- land. The engineers became a landlord in 1910 when they erected a 13-story office building at the corner of Si Clair avenue and Ontario street, in the heart of the downtown section here, General offices of the brother- hood occupy part of the building. The building is clear, of all incum- brances, having been paid for in fuil several years ago. Two other build- ings in the heart of Cleveland are owned by the enginers, one used as the main office of the brotherhood bank. directly across the street from the brotherhood effice building and the other a sixteen-story structure on Euclid avenue, recently purchased at a cost of approximately $3,000,000. ‘The prospective amalgamation, now MOTHER!
