This means that the dele-| higher than normally prevail in this gates at the coming convention must wage @ fight against the Lewis ma- chine. At the same time the fight must go | on in the Progressive Miners Union, inside the Capplini-Maloney union and the Washington miners union. These miners together with the Na- tional Miners Union, the fighting miners of the U.M.W.A. can form one fighting miners union. This UNITED group of coal miners, with a fighting program aimed at the operators, the NRA. the labor bureaucrats and their henchmen, can defeat the enemy and win conditions for the American miners and their families.

The company used the coal from their West Virginia | mines to fill the orders of the strik- ing mines. They also used the profits of the “union” mines to hire scabs and thugs to break the strike in the ines that remained out. After a time the strike was broken. The company then refused to rec- renize their agreement in West Vir- ginia. The miners came on_ strike, The order was now filled by the non- union mines of this company. Profits of these mines were used to hire the same scabs and thugs. The strike was lost and all mines were running open shop. Then all of the mines were open shop. This was and ts the strike breaking policy of Lewis. This policy was followed at the mines of the Hillman and Peabody Coal Com- anies. It was used to help break the trike in 1922, later in 1927 and every fine since. While the Lewis men say that John L, Lewis made a mistake in 1922, and that everyone makes | be mistakes, the same policy was fol- lowed in all strikes. A man may jump off a bridge once, and if he is not killed, he will never do it again, This is known by the miners of the McFetridge local. It is known by the miners of the country. It must be remembered by the rank and file delegates at the coming convention | $3.25, Shops are situated in cellars without ventilation; they are damp | and poorly lighted. The strikers are demanding 75 cents for a dozen pair of pants for which they now receive 50 cents, and $1.50 for the better grade, which is now paid at $1.20. A striker was arrested last week when he demanded the food for which he had paid. The boss refuses to deal with the workers’ committee. Plans are now under way for a mass meeting in Chinatown to mobilize the workers in support of the strike. In the News DRYS WANT LIQUOR TO BE LABELED “DRUG” NEW YORK.

However 2 weeks after Fogel complained, he was fired from his job, without rause, with the boss owing him $50 in back wages. Gottesman is carefully following out the tactics of Lehman, Flore, Turkel and other previous officials in the union, He could not do other- wise, for, according to allegations now being made in the local by Lehman, now running for re-election, Gottes- man boozed up Bennie Glast and egged him on to shoot up Turkel and Lasher so that he, Gottesman, could get the secretaryship.

A racketeer, preying on the workers, had been kicked out of the union by the membership and then had been restored to an even greater power by the International president.
