THE CHECK-OFF SYSTEM
The United Mine Workers of
America is just rounding out the
thirty-first year of its existence.
Its leaders, says a correspondent
of The Associated Press, writing
from Indianapolis, believe this will
be a memorable year in the history
of the organization. This union, one
of the strongest of the labor organ
izations in the United States, is now
confronted with the possibility of a
nation-wide strike in protest against
the decision of U. S. District Judge
A. B. Anderson to enjoin coal
operators from continuing the check
off system by which the companies
deduct miners’ union dues from
their wages, turning the money
over to local union officials.
The union will complete its 32nd
year on January 20, 1922. It came
into existence January 20. 1890
at a meeting held in Columbus. O.,
two rival organizations deciding at
that time to unite under the name
which is still in use.
The history of the union move
ment among the miners of the U.
S. starts with a local union organ
ized in the anthracite coal region
of Pennsylvania in 1849. The union
of the miners into the present or
ganization only came about after
the numerous difficulties that mark
the evolution of the labor move
ment. Strikes, interna! wars and
opposition from mine operators are
all written in the history of the
miners.
Any efforts that the union may
make as a national body in the
present situation will be directed
from the headquarters at Indianap
olis. John L. Lewis, president, with
members of the international ex
ecutive board, and William Green,
-ecretary-treasurer, will be in charge
of the administration of strike act
ivities, if this course is decided up
on.
The membership of the union at
the present time is approximately
half a million, this number includ
ing miners of .he anthracite fields
a ho probably would not be affected
by a strike inasmuch as the check
off system, the point at issue in the
present controversy, is applied only
in the bituminous fields.
WOLVES ARE DISAPPEARING
FAST IN WESTERN STATES
WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 13—
The wolf is gamely making his last
stand in America. Bloody fanged
from cattle growers’ stock, and
fighting for his existence against
the best traps, rifles, poisons and
hunters, he has been cut down in
number, until today it is estimated
by the United States Biological
Survey, that in the Western States,
his last refuge, there are probably
less than five hundred.
Hunters are fast getting his pett,
through exciting and romantic ad
venture. In Northwest Wyoming,
Uncle Sam's hunters are now in
tensifying a drive to clean out
what is believed to be less than
fifty. Since the drive began last
spring, twenty-four have been killed.
The old system of laying bount
ies on the heads of wild animals
has been found after years of study
and experience, to be a failure. Dr.
A. K. Fisher, in charge of economic
1 investigations of the Biological Sur
vey is authority for the statement.
‘•Since 1890 millions of dollars
have been spent in bounties”, he
declares, “and there never has been
a case where the bounty did any
permanent good.”
The old bounty men, he charges,
were in the game more for the
money and the living they could
get out of it, than for the purpose
of ridding the country of wild ani
mals. It was found, he adds, that
the bounty men after hunting a
season, purposely would leave one
or two pairs of wolves, to raise
more wolves, for more bounties.
In the beginning of the Govern
ment’s drive with paid hunters. Dr.
Fisher further charges, some of the
old bounty men proved unfit. “Some
of them would WTite up here saving
if they could only have the fin of a
shark, or the tip of a kangaroo’s
tail, they could surely lure game
into their traps. That was all pure
superstition.”
Although the wolf has attacked
many persons, and hunted man in
packs in the steppes of Russia, and
other parts of the old world, there
is no single case on record, Dr.
Fisher asserts where a wolf has at
tacked a human being in North
America.
DETROIT, Dec-. 13:—Two men
and seven children were burned to
death here last night, and two
others seriously injured in a fire
■which destroyed a home near the
Royal Oak suburbs.
