LEWIS EXPLAINS C OAUMADE-iN-CAROLINA CLUB
MINERS' 6-HOUR 0AY;BE ORGANIZED APRIL 6
Head Of Union Gives His In
terpretation of Part of New
Wage Agreement
IndlanaDolls. Ind.,- March 27.
President John L. Lewi, of the
United Mne Worker of America,
ha given hi interpretation of the
miner' demand for a lx-hour day.
five-day week, being a part of any
new wage agreement affecting the
oft eoal industry. In a formal state
ment he said:
Thr haa been, so much misun
derstanding among the people as to
the real meaning of the position of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica with regard to the proposed six
hour day and live-day week that I
believe something should be said
that would set the public right on
the subject. It has been charged by
coal operators that the miners are
demanding more pay for leas work.
Th principle of the shorter work
day does not mean anything ot me
kind. They do not K ror tna six
hour dav as the maximum, but they
do aek that they be given reasonable-assurance
that they will have
reasonably steady employment six
hour a day thruout the year.
Under present conditions the
miners work eight hours a day only
a small part of th time each year.
In 1921 they were employed only
about 40 per cent of full time and
were idle 60 per cent of the time.
They wro employed only .an aver
age of about 121 day in 1821, out
ot the 300 or mora work day of th
year. They cannot make a living for
tneir ramilles under such conditions.
Last year they earned an average
of approximately 1700 per man. .
"The bituminous mine of the
country have a capacity of 700,000.
000 to 100,000,000 tons a year. In
normal time the demand Is for ap
proximately suu,uuu,ovo tons a year.
If the miners had reasonably steady
employment they could and would
easily produce in a six hour day
enough eoal to fill every possible re
quirement. j t can be dona in a
sijfnour aay, why should miner be
required to work eiaht hours a lv
only a part of the time?
"Many year ago miners vara
compelled to work ten, twelve or
niuie uuurs a aav. and who th.
made their fight for a shortening of
the work day to eight hour they
were met with the same kind of
fight they ar now feeing In their
request for a six hour day. But they
won, and the country ha had all
th eoal It could use ever since
"The six-hour day is not a scare
crow nor is It a menace to the
1111 I' u" "ome mployara would
have us believe. It Is simply a hu
mane principle,"
