The miners’ union committee, head- ed by International President John L. Lewis, had made during the course of the negotiations sweeping concessions, even to the point where a thinly dis- guised arbitration committee was of- fered, in spite of the bitter opposition to compulsory arbitration which coal miners have always shown. Demanded Wage Cut. The only point at which the union committee did not yield, was in the matter of a formal reduction of wages. It was instructed by the Indianapolis convention last month not to sign any contract involving a wage cut. Altho the “committee of experts” which Lewis proposed to “apply the agreement” would probably cut wages in effect by increasing the amount of unpaid work the miner would have to perform, the operators held out for a reduction, open and apparent, to the level of “competition” with the non- union wages of Kentucky, West Vir- ginia and Alabama. Convention Forbids Cut. This concession Lewis hesitated to grant, and the negotiations ended. It is reported that Lewis plans to make contracts with any individual com-) panies that will sign on the basfs of the Jacksonville scale, and then try for another joint conference, just be- fore the ending of the present con- traet, March 31. .

Avoiding Solid Tires. One of the most interesting things for the future student of transpor |tion or get-rich-quick problems i: |the fact that the stubborn determi- nation of Treasurer Alex. Y. Mal- eombson was largely responsible for the use of pneumatic tires on the Ford jear. He held doggedly to the view, too, that any car worthy of the name should be equipped with pneumatic tires.

The progressive delegates centered their main attention on the recogni- | tion of all political tendencies in the labor movement and representation of the progressives on committees. Due to the policy of the National | Executive Committee of suppressing and expelling branches, the Work- men’s Circle today finds itself in a very critical situation with a declin- ing membership. Comrade Endin! moved that representatives of all po-, litical tendencies he represented on | the credentials committee, The chaiy-| |man ruled this motion out of order. Comrade Salzman appealed to the de- cision of the chair. | Insist on Democracy. In his appeal Salzman stated that for the last five years the left wing * demanded representation on eommit- tees of the Workmen's Circle, but was ruthlessly suppressed by the National pointed Executive Committee. He out that if the organization is to grow | and progress, the National Executive Committee must come back to the rinciples upon which the Workmen’s cle was built, allowing free expres- sion and giving recognition to all po- litical tendencies in the labor move- ment, When the appeal of Salzman to | the chair was put to a vote, the pro- delegates were counted out by appointees of the administration, jand from the great number of the | progressives only 80 votes were coun- ted against and 392 for. These tactics not only proved to the progressive delegates that the pres ent administration, in order to main- tain power will use all means, but} even surprised some right wing dele | gates of the method used at the con- ference. Impose Gag Rule. The motion of Comrade ‘Sultanto te have an half an hour discussion | on the plans of activity and the com- Committee Killed by Reactionary Gang position of the National Executive Committee to be elected, was ruled & out of order and the chairman inimes © diately proceeded to read the names > of the nominees. Comrade Lifshitz raised an objec- tion against B. Woolf who personifies the present leadership. In connection with that he wanted to make a state- ment. But no statement that will show up the past activties and policies of the National Executive Committee was allowed. Comrade Lifshitz then appealed to the chair. Lieutenants came immediately to the assistance of the chairman and Litfshitz was prevented from speaking. .The destructive policies of the ad- ministration were vividly demonstra- ted when Max Levin, the chairman of the amittee for peace in the Workmen’s Circle, objected to Chanin who is responsible for the split in the Workmen's Circle schools. He pointed out that a man like Chanin who is identified with the Jewish Ver- band of the socialist party can not do constructive work and therefore can not be put on the executive cém- mittee. In answer to Levin, Chanin ex- pressed himself in agreement with the splitting tactics of the National Exe- cutive Committee. He stated that he is satisfied that he succeeded in split- ting the schools and even if the non- partisan Workemn’s Circle schools would want to affiliate with the of- ficial Workmen’s Circle schools, he continue to fight them bitterly. No Demonstration for Herlich. The chairman invited Herlich, the | representative of the Polish Bund, wha was hidden in a corner on the gallery. The progressive elements were aroused by the action of the chair- inan. Sensing the indignation of the | majority of the delegates the chair- man did not introduce Herlich to the conference. During the conference some of the right wing delegates at- tacked the progressive delegates, but the threat of the machine did not affect the militancy of the left wing. Sigman’s Agent Ousted; Workers Solid Behind ‘Their Own Joint Board The employes of the Crotona Dress Co. are much embittered against the action of a Sigman agent. He prom- ised better terms to the bosses if they would compel their. workers to reg- ister with the International after the workers had refused to deal with any of the Sigman delegates. On Feb. 14th, a business agent of the International, accompanied by the association clerk, came to the Crotona Dress shop and approached the pres- sers with a request to come to one of the International's meetings. The pressers said, however: PORTERS’ FUTURE INVOLVED NOW IN BOARD DECISION Randolph Confident Union Will Win Trade union or company union for the Pullman porters?
