The Wall Street Journal says, “The balance sheet of December 31, 1925 showed a suffi- ciently strong cash position to with- stand a long seige of unprofitable operations and to continue preferred dividends.” The Journal asserts that on the ex- piration of the Jacksonville agree- ment several other operators in the Pittsburg district may join Mellon’s war on the union. Until now they have hesitated, “influenced by the fact that the operation was costly on account of the expense of gather- ing men together and the expense of deputies, while even without any un- usual expense the difference in wages between the November 1917 scale and the union scale hardly makes up for the low price at which the coal must be sold on account of non-union com- petition,” as Black Diamond, a coal trade organ, puts it. Non-Union Mines Fail. This statement shows that even non-union operation does not bring a profit when cut-throat competition in an over-expanded industry forces prices below cost of production. Only the most favored non-union com- panies are making enough to pay di- vidends on common stock.

Its properties are in eastern Kentucky and central West\ Virginia. Its report for 1926 shows a profit of $3.68 a share on preferred) stock marking the first year since 1920 in which it has made enough to cover preferred diviliends. The way of the non-union opera- tors apparently isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. . Goverment Watches. WASHINGTON, March 28.—The Federal government is watching closely the developments in the union- | ized soft coal fields which are to sus- pend operations next Friday. Agents returning from the fields reported today that there appeared little likelihood of heading off the tie-up in Illinois, Indiana, ‘Ohio and western Pennsylvania. These states comprise the central competitive field. @perators are remaining stead- fast in refusing to accept the United Mine Workers’ proposal for a renew- al of the present wage contract, they said. Policy Committee Meets. Considerable significance is attach- ed here to the Miners’ Policy Com- mittee meeting today in Indianapolis. The committee has full powers to enunciate the union’s policy for the suspension. Under tentative agreements, union will permit operations in cen- tral Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Mon- tana, Washington and Michigan. A meeting will be held with south- west operators on March $1, at which a final attempt will be made to ne- gotiate a working contract. the normal full hours of work under- | | ground were seven per shift count- ing from last man down to first man} up; according to the Samuel report, |this meant an average actual time underground of about 8 hrs. 37 min. Under the new agreements, the hours | position for the underground workers | ranges from 8 to 9 thours a day, in- cluding the time of going down and |returning from the mine. The minimum wage percentage, as| seen from the table, has been reduced in all districts. In many places they were brought down to the 1921 level,| when the average earnings through-| out the country were 9-2d a shift. | The ration of profits to wages has} | been changed in most of the districts. Under the 1924 agreements, the ratio| of profits to wages was: Profits 13 per cent; wages 87 per cent.

As a result, ejectment orders are now the rage. Hundreds of workers find themselves thrown on the road, un- less they can find alternative accom- modationg. In Yorkshire, many cases of delib- erate victimization are being report- ed. Piece work price lists have been attacked. At the Thurcroft Main Colliery nearly 2,000 miners) are still locked out owing to the fact that the owners are refusing to abide by the district agreement and attempting to lenforce a day wage rate (instead of piece rates) which would mean a drastic reduction in the men’s earn- ings. 4 In Scotland, victimization is wide- | big | the | has been altered to: Profits 15 per | Spread.

Mayo, Univers- ally famous surgeon. Dr. Mayo told teday how he had learned that Mussolini was suffer- ing from a nervous trouble and not from cancer, as had been rumored. Touring Europe a year ago with a number of leading American surgeons and medical experts, the doctors were asked by Muasolini’s physician to conduct an examination of the Duce. Having other engagements at that time, Dr- Mayo did not parti- cipate in the examination, but learned from his colleagues later that Mussolini's ailment was of a nervous character, “Certainly there was no diagnosis of intestinal cancer by any of the doctors in our party,” the noted surgeon said. “Had there been I would have been told of it at that time.” Read The Daily.

L, PROPOSES INDUSTRIAL FORM FOR AUTO LABOR Skilled Crafts To Join Regular Unions (By Laurence Todd, Federated Press.) WASHINGTON, March 27.—Plans drawn by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor for the proposed drive to organize the 500,000 workers in the automobile in- dustry, were discussed, amended and sent back for approval in their amend- ed form,’ at a conference held at Wash- ington headquarters on March 24.

There was no attempt made to give an approximate numbér of the dead and wounded. The dispatches were carefully \ written by trained liars. The press agencies were tipper off to producé a “massacre” and they did, partly to whip up popular hyster- ann and partly to justify the terrible deed committed by the two naval butchers that turned their guns on the civilians, men; women and child- ren, who were peacefully walking the streets of Nanking.

William F, Kurz, prin- cipal of the school, happened to be present at the time, and the dis- missal followed. The young instructor declared that the school official told him that “the Darwinian theory has no place in my school,” * In a statement Wagner, who had a brilliant record while a student at Columbia where he graduated in 1926, asserted that “in bringing forward the pretext that I was discharged for ‘incompetence,’ the principal of the school is evading the main issue.

England has a vision of India carrying the Nationalist revolu- tionary banner to victory and wiping out the Amritsar massacre in the blood of the King’s Own Borderers. And Wall Street sees the Filipinos looking to an em&ncipated China for help rather than to. fake political friends in Washington. Imperialism is in danger. It is showing its fangs.

OF WISCONSIN CHINESE RAP AT U.S. IMPERIALISM Score Propaganda in Capitalist Press MADISON, Wise. March 28.— Scoring the propaganda about China that has appeared in the capitalist press and pointing out that the Chi- nese Nationalists are struggling against foreign imperialism as well as against native war lords, the Chi- nese students at the University of Wisconsin have drawn up the fol- lowing manifesto:— | We, the Chinese students at the University of Wisconsin, in view of the repeated misrepresentations of our home situation and in order that our own attitude may not be miscon- strued, have thought it fit to issue this manifesto. Fight For Independence We solemnly publish and dé¢lare that our Nationalist Revolution is ani- mated by the principle of liberty, freedom and independence; That its ideal is, in its international | aspect, “China for the’Chinese”; and, lin its domestic aspect, “government by the consent of the governed”; That the attainment of this ideal has hitherto been obstructed by two major forces: internally, by a gang of treacherous militarists in the per sons of Generals Chang Tso-Lin, Chang Tsung-chang, Sun Chuan-fang, Wu Pei-fu and their retainers who rest their authority on sheer brutal force, who act as puppets of foreiga powers and who rule the country merely to swell their sa for- tunes and to please their foreign mas- | ters; externally, by a number of for- eign powers, led by Great Britain, which, taking every advantage of the unequal treaties exorted from China by force or threat of force, perpetu- ate our civil wars, slaughter our brethren, control and dictate our eco- nomic and political life in the inter- est of their merchant princes ane financial giants; Foreign Enemies That our Nationalist Revolution is, therefore, directed against these two principal enemies, naniely, r capitalists and Chinese militarists That our struggle will not ceas until the militarists are ousted and) \the unequal treaties are abrogated; — That our Nationalist.
