VA, By LELAND OLDS (Federated Press Industrial Editor) Scab Coal Is Swamping Union Markets. “Hell’s a popping on Straight Creek, four miles from Pineville, By J. A. HAMILTON. Reports from Charleston, W. Va,, dated April 15, are to the effect that the failure of the Kanawha Coal Op- erators’ Association to renew the con- tract means open shop operation by practically all mines in this section, ‘ the last stand of unionism in southern West Virginia. The union officials are reported to claim that many operators, however, will sign as individuals. But even so, the best that can be hoped is to save only a fraction of the union in the Kanawha valley, unless the or- ganization campaign which is talked of materializes and succeeds better than organization campaigns Have been doing under Caesar John L. Lewis. One-fourth of the mines in eastern Ohio have suspended entirely, and most of the rest are running very short time. The Grand Trunk Rail- way, operating three large mines, is reported to claim they can purchase coal in West Virginia cheaper than they can produce it. A reduction in freight rates from eastern Ohio points is being advocated, but that is based more on desire than upon probability of securing ‘it. The Coal Age spot price index of average coal prices on fourteen coals, representative of 90 per cent bf the bituminous output, shows for 1924, week of March 24, $2.13 per ton, March 31, $2.04; April 7, $2.07; as compared with the week of April 9, 1923, $2.82 per ton. This means that only the low-cost operators are going to be able to operate. Coal Age is one of the leading coal operators’ magazines. It states in the April 10, 1924, issue: “It is generally conceded that the next three years will show more real progress in the art of mining than the last fifteen. New mechanical devices, new systems of management, new mining methods are under examination.” This “prog- ress” will affect the coal mifters by (1) reducing the amount of labor in mining and hence the opportunities for employment; (2) by further re- ducing the severity of the labor and the craft skill demanded of the min- ers, thru the increased use of ma- chinery and subdivision of the min- ing work; (3) by, giving the operatoss coal operators’ national organ, describing the war against the Operators’ Thugs.
