It is an indication that the spokesmen of American capitalism have been told that there is no great danger of a widespread strike and that if a strike of large proportions does take place in the union coalfields that the coal operators are not greatly alarmed. This is-to say that the most skilled observers for the bosses are fairly well satisfied with the leadership of the Lewis machine and does not believé that it will deal any serious blows to their profits or weaken their control of the coal industry to any great extent. A If the Lewis machine were planning a powerful organization in the non-union fields the capitalist press would sing a different tune. If the “Save the Union” program had been adopted against the opposition of the Lewis machine the capitalist press would be howling to high heaven for government intervention to save the dear public from the avaricious coal diggers. To the advocates of worker-employer cooperation, “efficiency unionism,” the present benevolent attitude of the capitalist press is proof of virtue. To the intelligent worker it is proof that the sinister plans for smashing the miners’ union are working well “and that the bosses see no effective opposition coming from of- ficial labor circles.

In 1919 he said, his cooper- ative movement spread beyond the limits of California. The first step was to Uregon, he said, to organiz prune jrowers, then to the Washing- ton wheat powers, Idaho was next and then he jumped across the nation to Mississippi where staple cotton growers wanted to ‘or- ganize. In rapid succession, Sapiro named North Carolina, Texas, Geor- gia, and South Carolina where he or- ganized cotton growers. Tobacco and Wheat The first tobacco cooperative was organized in Virginia in 1921, he said. The next was Kentucky. At the same time he organized wheat associations in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska and Colorado. Then he organized burley tobacco as- sociations in Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana, Into Canada . His first venture outside the Unit- ed States was to “handle dairy and fruit problems in 1922” in the Can- adian Province of Ontario. He went, he said, at the in ister of agriculture. He also organ- ized wheat growers in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, In 1922 ond 1928 the witness said he organized potato growers in Maine, Minnesota, Colo- tado and Idaho.
