Mulholland Its Vice-President March 14-21 PEACE RETURNS TO PRODUCTION OF SOFT COAL • I Trip Through Pennsylvania Bituminous Fields Reveals Activity By Ross Downing. UP Staff Correspondent Pittsbui'gh, Pa.. Mar. 14. — (U.fl) — I Prosperity is returning to the bituminous coal fields ot western Pennsylvania. An afternoon's automobile drive through the mining camps surround- - ing Pittsburgh is enough to prove that the United Mine Workers ot America apparently have lost their tight with the soft coal producers ot the district, but everyone seems happy again. It was two years ago next April 1 that the officials ot the United Mine Workers ot America ordered all miners to quit work in the competitive soft coal fields and thousands left their jobs. Today, a year after a Uniled States j senate committee visited the coal fields of western Pennsylvania and found starvation, suffering from the rule of the coal and iron polife. thousands of idle men and families living in unheated barracks, there is comparative prosperity and happiness among the skilled miners and their families. Mines which were idle for nearly two years have been re-opened, and men who had not worked nor drawn i a pay check for that length of time are back on their jobs drawing their regular pay. That pay is not as much as they drew a few years ago or as much as they asked for when the strike was called in 1927. But it is enough-, according to indications, to feed and clothe the families of those miners whose mode of living is the simplest. Temporary Barracks Vacated The temporary barracks, built by I tiie United Mine Workers of America, which furnished poor homes for the si liking miners durhig the cold, snowy weather a year ago have been, vacated and the coal company houses again have become the homes of the . union mining families. But these miners are no longer unionized for they are working for non union companies as individuals and not as a union body. The spirit of unionism is still strong in the Pittsburgh district and probably always will be. The union has kept faith with its people. Union men and women may be working for nonunion companies out they are loyal to the ideals of unionism. The return to work was a matter of expediency. Men, women and children who kept up the fight to the point of starvation in the frame barracks convey the idea that the return to work was made under advice ot the officialdom of the coal union. Naturally the heads of the union made no proclamation to tliat effect hut an observer gathers the idea that the men and women who had endured months of sacrifice quietly have been i told that the time had come to hunt ’ jobs wherever they could be found. Operators Overjoyed A coal operator would not be expected to admit publicly that he was delighted to get his old men back in the • pits. But the coal companies have been overjoyed just the same. The skilled miner, even though he has been out on strike, is. much easier to I

handle and can produce more coal for hid employer than the more or less unskilled atrike-broakeri. The coal company officials said they never found it difficult to get miners anytime during the strike and they refused to ailmit a strike was in existence. htevertheless, since the striking miners have gone back to work more mines have been opened and only in a few instances has a former employee, who went out on strike, been refused his old position. With the dawn of peace in the soft coal fields relief committees and organisations have disappeared. The coal and iron policeman and his twin brother, the strike deputy, also have nearly become extinct. Relief committees of Pittsburgh business men and charitable organizations which distributed thousands of dollars worth of food and clothing to the miners’ families last winter have discontinued their work. No longer are thousands of dollars sent Into the district monthly by various relief committees of the United Mine Workers of America and the American federation of I»abor The coal and iron policeman, not as an individual but as an instrument of the law, was a storm center of the coal strike discussion. He was a creature ot the strike and he vanished with the return of the miners to work, At one time the Pittsburgh Coal company, largest bituminous coal producing company in the world, employed 314 coal and iron policemen. That was in tiie heart of the strike. The company now has only 30 such police-
