UNIONIZED MINERS LOSE BY WIN PRODUCING AREA Unorganized Sections Turning Out More Coal Than in Past. Jill Times Special WASHINGTON', April B.—Union coal miners have lost one of their strongest points in collective bargaining with operators by recent shifting of the majority of bituminous coal production to strong nonunion districts. Since 1898 wage agreements in all union fields have been drawn up in accordance with those arrived at In the central competitive coal field, comprising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and eight counties in western Pennsylvania. At that time the field produced more than a third of the country’s entire output, while other strong union fields in such States as lowa, Michigan, central Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas and Washington, swelled the production to 58 per cent of the entire output. Results of Shift In 1899 the three States of West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland, together with eastern Kentucky, produced only 14.5 per cent of the bituminous tonnage. In recent years these States have been rapidly in■teasing their output and together other Southern and Western States now are mining a majority of all soft coal. In 1925 the tonnage produced in the four States amounted to 34.8 per cent of the national output, while the output of the central competitive field dwindled to only 29.7 per cent. This latter field and the northern States usually alied with them in wage agreements produced only 43.1 per cent of the national output, while the West Virginia and other southern groups mined 56.9 per cent. The effect of this shifting of production in weakening the cause of union miners is shown by a recent survey made by the Bureau of Mines, giving the number of nonunion and union miners in each dis-

Know Your City “Make a Friend for Indianapolis’ * $500.00 in Cash Prizes

“As Others See Us” The following letter commenting on our Prize Contest to “Make Friends for Indianapolis,” from Mr. Charles W. Myers, Business Efficiency Expert and Director of Trade Relations for Armour & Company, Chicago, is self-explanatory: Chicago, March 31st, 1927. “Regarding the address which I delivered before the Advertising Club of Indianapolis recently, and which I prefaced with a remark or two regarding the splendid statement of the J. F. Wild Bank on the subject of ‘Making a Friend for Indianapolis’ ■ —as nearly as I recall, some of the statements which I made were along this line: “The place where we live and make our home, and in this instance—-the good old city of Indianapolis, and the good old state of Indiana—deserves the outstanding support of every Hoosier, both at home and abroad. The traditions of Indiana, its achievements and beautiful romace of civic accomplishments, deserves the highest place in our song and story. “Any movement which tends to make friends is worth all and more than the amount of energy, effort or experience put into it. A friendly city or a friendly state attracts and thereby grows. Those of us who know the real Indiana and the true Indianapolis are never for an instant swayed by the negative impressions created from the negative impulses of people who do not have the interest of their community at heart. “ ‘Make a Friend for Indianapolis’—than which there is no finer city of its size in the world. Make known her virtues and stand firm for all the good things we know to be true of Indianapolis and of Indiana. , "There may he a certain degree of merit to the pitiless spotlighv. of publicity’ but I am inclined to believe if we will emphasize the good points more and minimize the negative d&tails, we will do a far greater work. “We need more of the curative qualities of publicity, and the Advertising Club of Indianapolis, business men of the city and the state should rally round this movement of ‘making friends’-right the right and by so doing, make your development mighty. v c>,7m S u PlaCe Where we live and make our home should be paramount to everything else. “Very sincerely yours, “Charles W. Myers, Director of Public Relations, Armour & Company, Chicago.’’ ,„ T^ re re no “strings” to this Letter Writing Contest—no obligations of any kind or character, other than the giving of enough of your time to write one or more letters telling why Indianapolis is unrivaled as a city in which to live and do business, or visit.

trict. Nonunion miners In the four States of West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky are shown to outnumber union miners there more than twenty-eight to one, the figures being: nonunion miners 166,501 and \mion miners 5,719. The greatest union strength lies in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Union miners in the three States number 128,407, and nonunion 4,514. The union is also strongly intrenched in Pennsylvania, although nonunion workers outnumber the union men, the figures being 51,003 union and 79,665 non-union miners.
