Prior to their closing these mines operated under the terms of the Jacksonville agreement signed be- tween the operators and the “repre- sentatives” of the United Mine Work- ers of America in 1924. Since that time many Ohio operators have openly repudiated the contract and have at- tempted to reopen the open shop under the “1917” scale, The bosses have smashed the union com- pletely in the Pomeroy Bend region and in other places thruout southern Ohio coal fields. Reactionarles Lose Ground, every coal producing state and local- ity, exclusive of the anthracite terri- tory, the bosses, in collaboration with the reactionary leaders of the United Mine Workers of America, have waged In the states of Virginia, Kentucky, Ten- nessee, Alabama, Colorado, Texas, | Washington, the United Mine Workers. of America has disappeared entirely. In the mammeth ‘coal-producing state of West Virginia, after a two-year “organizing campaign” the U. M. W. of A. boasts of six local unions. At one time the union had some 50,080 members in this state In west- lern Pennsylvania, which had 60,000 members, today there is no more than about 10,000, and these constantly locked out, on strike or working part time; or, in o*her words, battling for existence, In District 2, central Penn- sylvania, some 30,000 members have been lost. In Nova Scotia and Alber- ta, on the Canadian side, the U, M. W. of A. is practically’ a thing of the past In the Illinois district, 100,000 were listed, but for the past several years 50,000 are dues paying. Dues payments in no way are a berometer for plenty work, etc., for a miner must work only five days per month to be charged union dues, ‘The foregoing proves that the union faces a crisis of no little magnitude. The Jacksonville agreement expires in the spring of 1927, Will the operators concede to recognize the skeleton of the once-mighty U. M. W. of A.?. The union is in danger that none can deny. This condition has been brot about thru the united front of the coal opera- tors and the betraying officialdom of the U M. W. of A,, the kind of Frank Farrington, for years president of the Illinois miners who sold out to the coal companies, and Robert Marshall, sub-district president of the Hocking Valley miners (Ohio), exposed as an- other agent of the operators while in the employ of the union. There are many more Farringtons and Marshalls still in prominent positions in the un- Haverhill " Workers Enthused Over Film of Passaic Strike By FRED E. BEAL.

The strike | picture was described to them and | every workers urged to attend. The seven-reel strike picture was shown six times in the two days, along | with a six-reel picture called “Lovey | Mary;” two comedys and a “Weekly News.” A slide was thrown on the screen asking the workers to donate shoes and clothing. | ‘Passaic Strike Film Shows Again in Ohio | OLEVELAND, Nov. 4.—The suc- cessful showing of the Passaic strike film at the Engineers’ Auditorium has induced the showing of the film once more, It will be presented on Sunday, Nev, 7, at 10 a, m. at the Polonia Theater, Broadway and 7ist street.

The first to feel the brunt of this situation in the mining regions are the young miners, Thruout the bitu- minous area the young miners, togeth- er With the old, have fought well, but operator and union official combined whipped them, The issue comes to a showdown soon. The International elections will soon be held and the miners, young and old, will write their decision if | their union {s to be wrecked irrepara- bly or to be saved, The youth have nothing to hope for from the Lewis administration, The organized youth in the mines know that the Lewis ad- ministration has ruthlessly expelled the leading youth elements in the U. M. W. of A, for no other reason than that the youth opposition challened the right of the administration to wreck the miners’ organization, In practically every convention of the United Mine Workers of America there appear youth -delegates bent upon fighting in the convention for changes in the organization's law or policies affecting the youth, . No at- tention is paid to the issues of the youth, and their representatives are steam-rollered by the machine in power. Reinstate Youth, No attention is paid by the machine to the youth miners, this very largé section of the miners, It is from this element that the future leadership of the union comes, but the machine hangs on, and on, bent upon smashing anyone who opposes their suicigal pol- icles, The union is in danger of ex- tinction, The youth shall not permit this. In the coming election the youth must wreck the Lewis machine and sweep into office the opposition ticket in the election, The opposition ticket, notwithstanding its many differences of opinion, will fight for the organiza tion of the youth in the unorganized regions and the proper recognition of the youth in the organized territory. The opposition is pledged to fight for the reinstateemnt of all expelled mili tants, expelled by the Lewis machine, and among those of the expelled are three of the youth leaders. The United Mine Workers of Amer- ica must be democratized, The hawk- eye censorship maintained over the U. M, W. of A. Journal, official publica- tion of the union, must be eliminated and freedom of expression of the rank and file permitted thru the columns More than that, the union must pro- vide for a youth section in this Jour nal, tS Weisbord Is Chief Speaker at Boston Anniversary Affair BOSTON, Nov. 4.—Albert Weisbord, leader of the Passaic strike, will be the ‘chief speaker at the celebration of | the ninth anniversary of the Russian Revolution here on Sunday, Nov. 14.
