peculiar practices of the soft cgal in-
dustry is the "check-off” system. a
collecting agency for union dues. To
a. large eatent, it is the financial
e’rs of America. The Operators also
use it for collecting money due them
from their workmen.
,In brief. the :‘check ofl" results in
aipart'of a. miner’s wages being with-
held tor 'a specified payment—his
dues!. .in case of the union, and v -
ous expenditures, made in his behalt‘
by his employer, in case of the oper-
ator. . _
The origin of the "check-oft" is un-
known. Some operators have declared
that any settlement must provide for
its discard. and the union ..a. few
months ago threatened a nation—wide
strike in its defense. However, it has
been" recognized method of collecting
union dues for 25 years, and practiced
longer than that time by’the opera-
tors for their own; benefits.
The federal circuit court of appeals
at Chicago'recently ruled that as far
as existing contracts
check~oft is the voluntary. assignment
by the employe of so much of his
wages as may be necessary to meet
his union dues and his direction to
his employer to pay the amount of
the treasurer of his union; in that as-
pect the contract provision is legal,
and quite evidently there are many
lawful purposes for which dues may
be used."
An attack on the "check-off"——-the
union‘s part of it—ls made in an in-
dictment. pending in the court here
charging operators and miners in the
Central Competitive Field with con-
spiracy to violate the Sherman anti-
trust law. Incidental to the main
charge that. the operators and miners
combined to control production and
prices. thr- indictment referred to the
“check-off" as indicating a close rela-
tion betweefi the two. and declaring
derslood." was to provide funds for
the union's alleged ifl'orls to stop coal
lirmluctinn at non-union mines. Ac-

with mine operations by reducing the

the willingness of operators to adopt
the "check-off" for the union.
The "chock-Off" became a part of
the interstate wage agreement made
for the Central Competitive Field in
1898. and not only has been renewed
by subsequent agreements but also
has been pushed into other fields

“Statements of Mr. “’atkins,"
Mr. Lewis said. "were characteristic
and typical of a policy which he has
followed for some time. He is en-
gaged in a factional quarrel with the
other Operators of_ Central Pennsyl-
vania, the other faction being headed
by Ben Clark. The loss of tonnage
of which Mr. \V‘atkins so bitterly
complains is largely due to a fierce
‘ competitive warfare with his com-
peting. rivals."
