‘COLLECTIVE BARGAINING THREATENED’ Union Mine Leaders Turn Attention to West Virginia. POPEN SHOPS MENACING Leaders In the nation-wide coal strike torned their attention toward non-union fields of West Virgin.a today, where their organization activities were enjoined by Federal Judge McClintic. Legal counsel of the miners met at Charleston to perfect an appeal from the decision, which union chiefs regard as a direct slap at collective bargaining. The open shop fields of West Virginia are more menacing to the success of the strike, than any other single factor. :n the entire situation,-it was said. They have been the center of unionization work for a number of years, especially since the strike, started April 1. It was learned the union agents are still busy there pending the outcome of the conference of attorneys who met to review all legal aspects of the matter. The attorneys will endeavor to find a way to overcome the restraint granted fifty-eight mining companies in the Winding Gulf field and. sixty-three companies in the Thacker field, which includes Mingo County, scene of bloody mine war. “The United Mine Workers regard is suance of these writs as an unwarranted trespass upon the rights of citizens and an effort to strip the United Mine Workers of their natural and legal rights as an organization;” ’John I. Lewis, president of the miners, declared at headquarters here. ’ '“We have no objection to being en- I Joined from doing things in themselves' unlawful, but these writs seek to enjoin . the union from eommiting acts which are j lawful. Our attorneys have been in- ' structed to prepare an appeal and carry j these cases to higher courts.” The improvement in railroad finances the result of huge decreases In op- , erating expenses, although revenues also j showed declines. The revenues totalled j 5101.325.70i) for the month, a decrease of 1.3 per cent over the same month of 1021, while the expenses totalled $324,423, | 500. a decltne of 15.6 per cent over Feb- ’ ruary last year. IVspite these decreases, the reports showed 14 per cent more freight was' handled in February than j in the same month of the preceding year. Roads in the eastern district alone i showed more than a 6 per cent return 1 on their valuation. In this district, tbs! net income was 529,535.500, or a return : of 7.17 per cent comparo to a deficit; of 57,627.592 in February. 1921. In the southern district, the carriers: reported a net operating income of $7,045,SOO. compared to 5466.257, the same month a year ago. This was at a rate of return of 3.95 per cent. Western carriers reported net incomes of $11,177,900 compared to 51.954,400, al- j though this gave them a rate of re- i turn of only 2.46 per cent. The prosperity of eastern roads com- j pared to the low returns in western and j southern carriers, it was explained, re- } suited from the threatened coal strike which served as a stimulus to transportation of coal. The commission also was informed that rate reductions in bay and j grains had failed to materialize In ex- ' pected increase in traffic of these com- j modifies. The tabulations, it was stated, were based on reports from 200 railroads.
