Not only this but a campaign of slander and lies is leveled at the progressive candidates, and the old over-worked cries of “red,” “Moscow,” “Fosterism” to “dualist.” The committee announced today that the officials thru their tools held an illegal meeting of local 818, West Newton, with but six men present and Rominated the reactionary machine. This local is one of the most progres- sive locals in the dstrict and at the next meeting it is expected the local will repudiate the action of the prev- fous meeting and nominate the pro- gressive ticket. The constitution is specific about the number of mem- bers which constitute a quorum, which is seven. Officials Nominate Themselves. Reports coming from the ..Wyano show what the officials are up to. M. D. Eagan, board member of that sub- district and labor faker par excellence gathered a handful of men and held a “meeting” at which the official slate was nominated. In both of these lo- cals the membership knew nothing of the meetings until after the gang had gotten away with their crooked work. ‘The officials would have no show in a local meetng with the men out in force. The present board member of the sixth subdistrict. is on the payroll be- cause of the fact that he is a depend- able machine man. The district con- stitution states that candidates must Teceive the nomination from three local unions before going on the bal- lot. In this sub-district there is but three local unions and at the last elec- tion the faker received two, and the progressive candidate one nomination. Still he went on the’ ballot “unoppos- ed” and for the past two years has vied with the other fakers in turnin: in “expense accounts.” . Used Threats. The progressive committee is in- formed that a local meeting in the Charleroi section, the officials were there in full force and stated to the local that if they nominated the pro- gressive ticket their charter would be revoked for supporting a dual or- ganization. The officials are centering their at- tack on several promnent candidates: Reports from West Newton state that the officials have spread the “confi- dential” information that Pat H. Toohey, secretary of the campaign committee had received a half million dollars from “Roosha” to lick the of- ficials, and that the Guiler-Harmison- Toohey aggregation are all members Of an organization which are trying to overthrow the United States gov- ernment. Rank and File Snicker. Ifthe district officials only knew how the rank and file took this they probably would keep quiet for a while. Nevertheless the “rumors” are a source of laughter and amusement to _ the rank and file, William A. Guiler who is a candi- date for district president for many years has been the chief thorn in the side of the fakers. He was largely Tesponsible for the formation of the Progressive International Committee, and for years has been a leader of the left wing. Has been a member of the U. M. W. A. for nearly.30 years. The committee will soon prepare an article giving the history of the candi- dates. Progressive Miners’ Committee, 805 James St.,.N.S., Pittsburgh, Pa.
