L. U.) ~ ’ Ite and Farm: ANTHRACITE PROFITS ENOUGH TO PAY MORE THAN LEWIS DEMANDS, SAYS PROGRESSIVES’ SECRETARY ‘ By ALEX REID (Secretary Progressive Miners’ International Committee.) As the United Mine Workers in the anthracite, with the coal operators, are at the moment engaged negotiating a contract covering the hard coal in- dustry in Pennsylvania, it may be appropriate to look at a few figures, profits wrung out-of the starving slaves in the hell holes of the anthracite mines| preak their ranks has failed. The to better understand the situation. The hard coal barons of: the anthra- cite living in New York City, New- port and along the Atlantic shore, have nothing in common with the slaves working in their mines. They know not the miners’ living condi- tions, their trials and hardships, their blasted hopes, aspiratrons and disap- pointments, and they care even less. The operators are trying to lower wages already entirely too low to feed a miner and his family, and an at- tempt is being made by the aperators to break down working conditions and further reduce the inadequate wage standards. The average wage of the anthracite miner is less than $5.00 per day, and they do not average more than four days per week. Out of this $5.00 per day, house rent, lights, water in some cases, doctor's bills, children’s school books, étc., etc., are taken, and very little is left to the coal miner to feed himself and family. A doctor, prominent in various min- ing towns in the anthracite field, a few weeks ago told the writer that the miners in the hard coal district were underfed and suffering acutely from malnutrition. The following list of profits of the hard coal barons may be of interest to-the “dear public” which is receiv- ing the. benefit of the $500,000 poison propaganda fund put out by the an- thracite kings to educate the “dear people.” GLEN ALDEN COAL COMPANY.

A higher tonnage rate is paid to royalty beneficiaries than is paid to the men who dig the coal! It costs an averagy or approximate- ly $4.00 per ton to produce hard coal, according to the operator's figures, and the anthracite sells to the “dear people” for from $10 to $16 per ton. Who gets the difference? It would be well for the workers to inquiré into the mining situation in the hard coal from sources more re- liable than the capitalists’ sheets. if they wish to learn the nuth. The railroads and the anthracite mining operators together controlling the industry, and the press, are not proper places from which to. expect. facts. r The miners of Pennsylvania will repudiate any attempt to cut their wages, and will fight for an increase to their miserable dole that the*may better feed their starving children. tao CONFERENCE OF PLASTERERS {§ VERY STUBBORN Thinks Amalgamation Means Absorption: | THE DAILY WORKER By BENJAMIN GITLOW | | The war in the American labor movement between the rank and file and the reactionary officialdom is shaking the very foundations of organized labor. The climax has been reached Workers Union. Three locals with a combined membership of 30,000 work- ers have been expelled from the organization, The officers of locals 2, 9 and 22 International and particularily in the New York joint board they have been conducting a fight against the betray- #——————__________ al of the workers interests and against the disruption of the organi- zation, The policy of Sigman machine back- ed by William Green president of the A. F. of L., the socialist party with its Jewish Daily Forward, the bosses and an army of hired gangsters and gun- men, is to rule the organization or ruin it. When the capitalists are com- bining and merging their interest the reactionary officials of the American labor movement are doing everything in their power to prevent the unifica- tion of the workers by proceeding methodically and in a high handed manner to disrupt and split the unions. No Broken Ranks The 30,000 members of the expelled locals have clearly demonstrated where they stand in the fight that is now going on in the International. They stand solidly behind the left wing and the suspended militant lead- ers of the rank and file. Every attempt by the use of gangsters and police to mass revolt that is sweeping the In- ternational Ladies Garment Workers Union is indicative of what will soon take place thruout the American labor movement. When this mass revolt will become general and will have the spirit and determination of the revolt now sweeping the International, then the reactionary officialdom with its policy of class collaboration and craft union- ism will be defeated and driven out of the unions. Wrong Move Hinders The eyes of the entire American la- bor movement is focused on what is now taking place in the International. A wrong move on the part of the workers now wilk greatly hinder the progress of the movement for the re- building unification and strengthening of the unions. The Sigman gang of disrupters has so far failed to make a dent in the ranks of the workers who are militantly and aggressively fighting against his disruptive tactics. This makes it all the more neces- sary for the workers to guard against any insidious attempt on the part of the reactionaries to fool them into a Position where their ranks will be- come demoralized and their fight dissi- pated. If this takes place it will result in the reactionary leaders again do- minating the organization with their policies. Vigilance and more vigilance is now required of the workers. Breslau Favors Sigman Such an insidious attempt on the part of the International machine to fool the workers is the attitude of Breslau, the czar of Local 35. Work- ers are being fooled into the belief that Breslau does not favor the ex- pulsion policy of President Sigman. This is rather strange.

They should keep up the militant struggle. They should. win every shop for the rank and file. It is their duty to get rid of the Breslau-Sigman-Schlessinger dis- rupters of the union. They should have nothing but contempt for the Jewish Daily Forward and should combat its campaign of calumny and abuse against the fighting members of the International. By so doing, they will defeat the attempt of the reactionaries, the For- ward and the gunmen to disrupt their organization and to throw the work- ers at the mercy of their exploiters. Their slogan should be: March For- ward fo victory for a stronger, better and militant International! ‘ TRI-DISTRICT MINE CONVENTION AND LEWIS’ DEALINGS THEREIN, ° PUT UNDER ANALYSIS BY MANLEY By JOSEPH MANLEY, Now that the Tri-District (Anthra echos of the speeches of Lewis and Kennedy are but a memory, one can begin to examine what really happened. District Convention held two years ag panions seated in the gallery of the Lewis to side-track the progressive sp! factional fight between Brennan and may be rated as having taken some steps along the road to progress. But as to what kind of progress and what kind of road the miners are being asked to follow under the leadership of John L, Lewis, this convention and what happened therein and in¢ connection with it may prove a guide. After watching thia convention for four consecutive days most of which were consumed by speeches by Lewis of Kennedy, the thot persists—Is American imperialist capital fastening a strangle hold upon the trade union movement? Is its plan to have Lewis, as the secretary of labor in the cabi- net of Coolidge, while Green, the servant of Lewis is the President of the A. F. of L.? Lewis Moralizes. Lewis, in bis, speech to the conven- tion on the opening of the second days’ session wept over the story of the breaking of the Jacksonville) agreement, He. referred. particularly to the repudiation of the agreement by the Consolidation Coal. Company and the Pittsburgh Coal Company. Speaking of the former he mentioned John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in the fol- lowing words: + “A&A captain of industry in our land, a gentleman’of many fine traits of in- dividual and social character, a relig- fous, God-fearing man if you please, namely John D, Roekefeller, Jr... Mr. Rockefeller is a large stockholder in| the Consolidated Coal Company, and yet, as a stockholder in that company and wielding a great influence, he joins with Colonel Watson in the tearing up of the contract with the United Mine Workers of America. What a great contrast between the Private morals and the business mor- als of a great American citizen.” Of Mellon, he said, in part: “Mr. Mellon is a fine, upstanding citizen, has many admirable traits and quali- ties, and without question is, perhaps, the greatest secretary of the treasury since the days of Alexander Hamilton. Yet he permits his coal company, the Pittsburgh Coal Company if you please, to violate a contract with the United Mine Workers of America without, in so far as I know, any pro- test on his part. What a remarkable difference between the private and the business morals, of a great captain of industry.” Fine Words About Shut Down, Almost at the close of his speech Lewis declared: “I have cited the in- stances and I have named the names of the men responsible for this action, (the breaking of the Jacksonville agreement) and if this situation con- | worth quoting as they indicate how cite) Convention is over and the last In comparison with the last Tri- 0, where the writer and several com- convention, were made the issue by irit that was developing alongside the Cappellini, the convention just held to authorize a national shutdown of the mines of this country while the government and the coal operators and the representatives of the mine workers discuss the question of whether the Jacksonville agreement is going to be carreid out.” The only fighting note in his speech was for “full recognition of the union and no reduction in wages.” This means of course the checkoff. Following on the heels of this speech made by Lewis at Scranton on Tuesday, a Scranton paper on Wed- nesday carried a dispatch from its bu- reau in Washington which indicated that the government was optimistic concerning the coming negotiations on the anthracite scale and that the administration placed “great faith’? in Lewis: Parts of this dispatch are closely American labor is being bound to the wheels of heavy indus- try as exptessed in republican party politics: © Lewis Is the “Horse” for Government. “It is understood here (Washing- ton) that the president had practically tendered the post now held by Sec-} retary Davis to John L.

Secre- tary Hoover is declared to have taken the position that it would be unwise to “swap horses” while the operators and the miners were in midstream. “President Lewis is counted upon by the administration to be a restrain- ing and compromising factor in bring- ing together the conflicting demands of employers and employes. To a greater degree than perhaps any other labor leader he enjoys the confidence of the white house and members of the cabinet, and the feeling prevails here that he will do his best to have peace maintained in the industry. Lewis, Confidant of Coolidge. “While administration spokesmen are extremely reticent in regards to their view of what is a fair compro- mise of the wage issue, it is expected here that the policy to be pursued by Secretaries Davis and Hoover will fol- low the program which they urged upon the bituminous miners in April tinues it may be necessary, later on, ix, their memory,.. stood while the funeral march wag played.

Prolonged applause and a flourish of music followed.

Cars had been tied up for a week. thracite mines, Secretary Hoover is said to believe, would defeat the pur- pose (prosperity?) he had in mind when he practically forced the accept- ance of the Jacksonville agreement.” Asks Blessing of Business Men. To complete the picture it is worth quoting Lewis on the policy of the union. In his book he says: “The Policy of the United Mine Workers of America is neither new nor revolu- tionary, It does not command the ad- miration of visionaries or utopians. It ought to have the support of every thinking business man in the United States, because it proposes to allow natural economic laws free play in the production and distribution of coal.” From this it can be gleaned what manner of man heads the largest and most powerful organization of labor in America. He is the president of the organization, a leader of the republi-/ can party, as such the candidate for the present position of Davis in the cabinet. Lewis’ economic theories are those of Alexander Hamilton a bulwark of} American capitalst reaction. Lewis} however is no fool. He knows how to| talk to the mine workers many of whom have not learnt how to see thru) his sophistry and his glib phraseol-| ‘al Shutdown” Just Talk to Catch Miners, For instance when he spoke of a| “general shutdown,” the rank and file of the delegates applauded loudly. | Not stopping to think that Lewis is the last man in the American labor movement to lead a militant struggle against the employers. On the con- trary he is just the man who can and will bow to the same kind of so-called agreement he made at Jacksonville. The only militant struggles that Lewis wants to lead are against Com- munists and Progressives. This story started with the Tri-Dis- trict Convention and now appears to} have been taken up with a discussion | of Lewis. In order to understand the situation in the Miners Union it: is necessary. to discuss Lewis. _He and his policies typify better perhaps than any other labor bureaucrat the lengths to which class-collaboration in the/ labor movement have develaped, } Tho he only arrived on the scene} of the convention on the second day | and tho he only spoke for about an} hour on that day—it was all the con-| vention listened to, it adjourned after | hearing him—he and his machine were in complete control. The reasons for it are vastly dif- erent than those in the bituminous fields. In the anthratice the unem- ployment is at present negligible. The companies have tremendous influence in the union thru the control exer- cised by their bosses. The scale com- mittee of the Tri-District Convention is a handpicked affair, So that there is little chance for a progressive measures to get by the machine con- trol of Lewis, Passing Buck on Nationalization. A few progressive resolutions were passed, such as abolition of anti-syndi- calism laws; release of class war pris- oners and endorsement of the Penn- sylvania Labor Party. However, the vital resolution on nationalization of the coal industry was referred to the next International Convention, plainly passing the buck on this fundamental problem. Perhaps fearing a struggle and the need for avoiding it, Lewis did not want to repeat the scandalous incident of the last Tri-District Convention. Even he, hard boiled reactionary that he is, cannot afford to lose all sense of bourgeois dignity. Especially if the bee of a cabinet position is buzzing in his bonnet. As for real accomplishments in the Tri-District Convention they were not to be found. Unless the demand for a ten per cent increase; full recogni- tion of the union and the better work- ing conditions contained in the report of the scale committee can be consid- ered real accomplishment. Nothing was done in the convention to lay the basis for a fundamental struggle with the anthracite trust, Ey Lewis, for all his speeches and book writing, said nothing about the trustification of the anthratice indus- try nor did he in speaking with such meticuluous care of the religfous Mr, Rockefeller meniton the fact that he is also one of the big boys in the an- thratice industry. Such indidentals are probably beneath the superior economic wisdom that John L. has all of a sudden become so gabby and high falutin about. Progressive Day Is Coming. The program of the Progressive Miners widely circulated in the an- thracite region previous to the con- vention made a lasting impression upon many rank and file elements. The planks contained in this program will show increasing strength as the economic crisis in the indastry de velops. The Progressives in the convention, few tho they were, made a good im- pression upon those who were not di- rectly under the influence of the Lewis machine. Theirs was the only voice which dared to rise in fundamental challenge to the system of wage slav- ery which is grinding the lives out of the anthracite miners. All the terror of the Lewis machine thruont the region will not stop the development of the progressive move- ment amongst the rank nad file of the mine workers. Neither the fine words of the convention speeches nor the po- litical ambitions of the mine workers’ reactionary leaders can halt the glass struggle.
